Abstract

A pivotal bracket is attached to the base of a telephone receiver to permit a user to adjust the angle of the base. Preferably the bracket is wider than the base, and extends to one side to provide support for the handset. The bracket may be slidable along the pivot axis to permit user selection of the side on which the handset can be rested.
