Abstract

A telephone apparatus composed of a telephone set and a device for changing its angle of inclination relative to its support surface is provided. To this end, a wire shackle is pivotably seated in the floor trough of the telephone set, whereby two different positions of the telephone set relative to its supporting surface are selectable on the basis of the shaping of the wire shackle. Portions of the shackle engagable with the support surface are provided with an elastic, riffled cladding to prevent slipping of the shackle on the support surface.
