ABSTRACT:
A telephone set which may be readily changed from a desk unit to a wall mounted unit without tools and without removing and re-installing any receiver-retaining parts or components has a handset with a receiver portion and a transmitter portion and a base with a transmitter portion receiving depression and a receiver portion receiving depression. An arm unit mounts within the receiver portion receiving depression. The arm unit has a pair of spaced apart side arms joined at one end by a transverse member. The arm unit has a pivotal mounting arrangement that enables the arm unit to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the set is used as a desk unit with the side arms at the sides of the receiver portion receiving depression and the transverse member is at the end of the receiver portion receiving depression nearer the transmitter portion receiving depression. In the second position the set is used as a wall unit with the side arms extending outwardly from the base. The space between the side arms is adapted for receiving the receiver portion when in the desk position. The side arms support the handset below the receiver portion when in the wall position. The ends of the side arms remote from the transverse member each have an inturned flange portion to aid in retaining the handset in the wall unit position.
