Abstract

A telephone unit adaptable for either wall or desk top mounting has a retractable bracket, slidably mounted in a recess in the bottom surface of the telephone unit base. The bracket has a head portion having a keyhole aperture for fitting over a screw or similar item on the wall, and a stem portion slidable longitudinally in the recess. Two bosses formed on the telephone unit base extend through slots in the stem portion and screws in the bosses hold the bracket in position. When extended the head portion extends slightly from the base while in the retracted position the bracket is concealed.
