ABSTRACT:
A telephone handset having a volume actuator. The telephone handset includes a casing and a band formed from a resilient material. The band includes a molded portion that forms the volume actuator. The band encircles the telephone handset and is undermolded to the casing such that it is permanently affixed thereto. Thus, the volume actuator becomes an integral part of the telephone handset. A recess is defined between the band and the casing. An electric switch is disposed in this recess. Force transmitted to the volume actuator is transferred through the resilient material of the band and actuates the electrical switch in the recess. This force may cause the switch to either raise or lower the volume of the telephone handset.
