Abstract: A telephone accessory device and system for facilitating communication between a wireless headset and wireline telephone. The telephone accessory device includes a device body configured to rest on top of a base of the corded telephone, a device platform connected to the base portion and configured to support a corded handset on a first surface, and a head portion disposed on a second surface of the device platform opposite the first surface. The system includes a wireless headset, a headset base wirelessly coupled to the wireless headset, and the telephone accessory device coupled through a control signal cable to the headset base unit. When the handset is resting on the first surface, in response to control signals from the wireless headset, the head portion is operable to reversibly depress and release a switch hook button of the cradle speaker recess while the device body and device platform remain stationary.

Abstract: A system and method for sealing around openings in a telephone handset casing in which externally facing components are positioned. An exemplary method comprises applying a bead of liquid sealant around the opening in a telephone handset casing, allowing the bead to partially cure to form a skin yet still having a malleable consistency, and placing the externally facing component against the bead to deform the bead in conformance with the surface of the component, to provide a close seal between the casing and the component.
