Abstract

A telephone hanset is made with two elongate molded parts, a back part and a front part. The back part is arcuate in side view and is substantially rigid. The front part has a substantially flat central portion which is flexible, with a housing at each end for the transmitter and receiver. The two parts are assembled by flexing the front part to conform to the back part, the two parts being connected together. This avoids the need for complex molds for molding the front part as no re-entrant walls occur for the housings.
