Abstract: A protective telephone stand includes an upwardly extending tubular base member having a horizontal shelf member secured to the upper end thereof. A pipe section is secured atop the shelf member co-axially with the support member, and is provided with a large opening in the side wall thereof. A fixed support frame is secured within the pipe section to support a telephone unit, and a curved door having approximately the same radius of curvature as the pipe section is pivotally supported in the pipe section. A rod extends through the fixed frame, the support for the pivotting door, the shelf member, and the tubular support member to join the entire assembly together. The telephone is displayed in the opening in the pipe section, and the door may be pivoted shut and locked to protect the telephone unit.
