A modular housing system (100) comprises a first housing unit (102), a second housing unit (104), and a clamp (600). The first housing unit (102) has a first bottom wall (610) and a first side wall (108). The second housing unit (104) has a second bottom wall (612) and a second side wall (116). The first housing unit (102) defines a first channel (702) which borders the first side wall (108) and includes an first opening (703) along the first bottom wall (610). The second housing unit (104) defines a second channel which borders the second side wall (116) and includes a second opening along the second bottom wall (612). The clamp (600) has a longitudinally extending U-shape defining a base (800), a first attachment wall (802), and a second attachment wall (804). For optionally attaching the first and second housing units (102, 104), the first attachment wall (802) insertably attaches within the first channel (702) and the second attachment wall (804) insertably attaches within the second channel.

Receptacle for a cordless portable telephone handset

A telephone apparatus (100) includes a base (102) and a handset (104) configurable in a desktop mode and a wall mount mode. Spring loaded detents (132, 134) in the base (102) engage recesses in the handset (104) in wall mount mode to securely retain the handset (104) in a pocket (101) in the base. The base includes a switchable detent mechanism (170) for retracting the detents (132, 134) in response to an actuator (150) when the base (102) is switched from wall mount mode to desktop mode. Thus, the detents (132, 134) do not interfere with the handset (104) when the handset (104) is placed in or withdrawn from the pocket (101).
