Telephone set base

Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a telephone set base showing our new design;

FIGS. 2 and 3 are respectively left and right side elevational views thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a left side, top and front perspective view thereof with the showing of a handset positioned upon the base unbroken lines for (1) illustrative and (2) operative environmental association purposes only; and

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of an individual key of the eight key pattern located at the lower right portion of the keyboards shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 to illustrate the surface contour of these keys. The top of all other keys on the keyboard is flat.

The configuration of all the pushbutton keys shown in the lower half of the keyboards of FIGS. 5 and 6 are rectangular, but not square, as the computer-drawn rendition of FIG. 6 may mistakenly suggest.

The broken line showing of specified areas in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design
