Abstract: A telephone handset comprises elongated complementary upper and lower housing members that mate at their perimeters to form a hollow handset housing. The lower housing member includes spaced transducer mounting positions, each of which accommodates both an individual transducer and a transducer mounting member for holding the transducer in the transducer mounting position. Each transducer mounting member is secured to the lower housing member and an upper surface of each enclosure inlcudes a recess for accommodating a bonding material. In addition, the upper housing member includes elements that extend into the recesses of the transducer mounting members when the upper housing member is mated to the lower housing member. The bonding material in the recesses serves to secure the two housing members together.

Abstract: A wall telephone stand is disclosed that includes facilities for both displaying messages and for storing a telephone directory. The stand comprises a support member adapted to be mounted to a wall, a housing secured to the support member, and a display member secured to the housing. The housing includes a handset cradle on one side and a storage compartment open to the other side, while the display member includes a display panel surrounded by a frame. The manner of assembly is such that the user can select on which side of the stand the handset cradle is situated and the type of display panel and style of frame to be used.
