Abstract
A telephone switch depressor that includes a planar wedge panel that includes a tapered, planar wedge end that is adapted to be received between a telephone flash switch and the opening through which the switch extends. The depressor serves to hold the flash button in its depressed condition, to disconnect the telephone line from a handset, and to avoid the need to physically replace the handset on the base or rest in order to actuate a switch hook to cause disconnection of the handset from the telephone line. The wedge panel can be formed from a flexible, yet sufficiently rigid plastic material, and it can be adapted to carry printed information.
