ABSTRACT:
An adaptable telephone baseplate can be used for either wall mounting or desk or table top mounting. The baseplate has an enclosed recess at an intermediate position and a modular jack position at what would be the top edge when wall mounted. A slot connects the jack position and enclosed recess. When wall mounted a short cord can be inserted in the slot with a plug at one end being inserted in the jack at the jack position and a plug at the other end being in the recess for insertion into a wall jack. When desk mounted a normal line cord enters through a groove into the jack position for insertion of a plug into a jack. Alternatively a line cord can enter through the groove, extend along the slot and then pass up through the slot for hard wiring of the conductors to a circuit board. Snap-in mountings are provided for the jack, a circuit board, ringer and possibly other items. For some telephones a battery housing can be provided while in others the battery housing can be omitted, by the alternative use of two inserts in the mold for the baseplate.
