Abstract: A platform for supporting a note pad in horizontal writing position adapted to mount along the rear of a desk telephone, having a pair of platform openings positioned to be engaged by the projecting tops of the rear pair of cradle posts, and having a hinged brace adapted to extend at an acute angle to the platform and engage the top of the telephone skirt, has a resilient tie-down means which extends from the underside of the platform and hooks under the bottom edge of the telephone skirt to prevent accidental dislodgement of the platform. In a modified form the platform is made from a cardboard blank with the brace cut from portions thereof and hinged along a score line. Another form provides tabs for supporting a calender in upstanding position.

Abstract: An accessory having a platform for supporting a note pad in horizontal writing position adapted to mount along the rear of a desk telephone has a pair of openings in the platform positioned to be engaged by the projecting tops of the rear pair of cradle posts and a third opening therebetween for holding a writing instrument in upright position. A wire brace is hinged to fold against the bottom side of the platform for packing and shipping and has a stop means whereby the brace assumes as acute angle with respect to the platform when the latter is in a horizontal position to facilitate mounting on the telephone. A modified platform has upstanding tabs for supporting a calender and a removable wire guide for mounting a small directory in closed position or in open position for viewing contents thereof while dialing.
