Abstract
A multi-purpose telephone holder is adapted to hold or position a compact telephone subset in three different orientations. The unit comprises a first tray module which essentially is a relatively rectangular housing configuration having sloping sidewalls, a back wall, an open front end and a bottom surface. A second assembly is a clip mechanism which is adapted to coact with the bottom surface of the tray and has two side retaining arms and two bottom arms for accommodating the subset in a vertical position. Suitable apertures are located in the bottom surface of the tray to enable the clip and tray to be positioned on a wall above a standard baseboard telephone jack. A third component consists of an adapter wall plate which has a peripheral flange for coacting with corresponding flanges on the bottom surface of the tray. The wall plate enables one to position the same over a standard modular wall plate jack and to then secure the tray and clip mechanism to the adapter plate to enable the user to mount the subset over the modular wall plate jack with a minimum of effort and mechanical skill.
