Abstract: A telephone includes an upper casing, a lower casing, and a receiver transmitter. The lower casing has a pair of projecting support sections at one end of the bottom, to which a first leg is rotatably mounted. The first leg includes a rotatable and slidable second leg. In a large-angle inclined state of the telephone, first and second engaging sections of the second leg are in engagement with first and second engaged sections of the first leg, respectively. When an excessive load is applied to the telephone in the direction of the arrow, the engaging sections are elastically deformed, being brought out of engagement with the engaged sections. Accordingly, the second leg tilts onto a desk into parallel with the desk. Consequently, the second leg is subjected to no longitudinal load. Thus, even if the second leg is not strong in structure, the second leg can be prevented from breaking.

Abstract: In a terminal unit including a main body and a flexible panel coupled to a main body, the main body including a first engaging section having a guide rim. The flexible panel is mounted to the main body by using the first engaging section. The panel includes a first claw which is engaged with the first engaging section. The first claw has a guide face which extends to slantingly intersect the guide rim of the first engaging section.
