ABSTRACT:
An improved telephone handset dispenser stores and dispenses a telephone handset and dispenses the handset upon insertion of an implement such as a credit card. A rectangular front face of a generally box-shaped housing has a longitudinal trough defined therein for receiving the handset. Upon insertion of the implement into a slot defined in the front face of the housing, the handset is dispensed for use. The telephone is electrically attached to the housing by a cord. A rotatably cylindrical cord reel dispenses the cord through the longitudinal trough as the handset is removed, and also stores unused cord. Cord is directed between the cord reel and the longitudinal trough perpendicular to the circumference of the cord reel by a cord guide, thereby permitting the cord reel to be centered in the housing with respect to the longitudinal trough. The housing has two sides and two ends, tapered toward the front face to prevent objects from being placed and retained thereon. Easily removable "punch-out" regions are provided in the housing, thereby permitting a cord from central communications circuitry to be routed into the housing from several directions.
