ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for latching a modular wall phone to a mounting receptacle plate. As is conventional, the plate has a central aperture for a modular jack and spaced on each vertical side of the aperture is a headed stud or rivet. The wall phone has a base plate with a central slot through which a plug on a line cord extends to mate with the jack. The base also has keyhole slots for receiving and mating with the headed studs. Adjacent at least one stud is the present latching mechanism which is readily assembled to the base plate with the phone separated from the receptacle plate. The latch mechanism automatically engages the headed stud and latches to it when the phone is mounted on the wall. The mechanism is accessible from exterior of the phone to release the latch and enable removal of the phone from the receptacle plate.
