Abstract
A telephone comprises a housing with a plurality of coverable control keys at the front and a cover that can be moved between a closed position in which said control keys are covered and an open position in which the control keys are accessible for operation. If desired, the cover and the housing can include an angle of approximately 90.degree. in this position, so that the telephone can be put on a table or on another flat surface in an upright position. In addition to being pivotable, the cover is movable parallel to the housing between the closed position and a moved intermediate position, from which intermediate position the cover can be pivoted to the open position.
