Abstract
A toy telephone having a telephone base, a telephone handset, and a cord extending between the base and the handset, the cord having first and second cord segments of preselected lengths, the first cord segment connected at one end to the base and the second cord segment connected at one end to the handset. Mating connectors at the free ends of the first and second cord segments releasably connect the cord segments to form a single continuous cord between the base and the handset that has an apparent length that is longer than the length of either cord segment and sufficiently long for play use. Upon application of a force in excess of that normally encountered in play use, the connectors allow the cord to separate into its component segments.
