Abstract
In a combination desk and wall telephone set, a base member having a telephone back surface and an optional board therewithin is joined with a main body having a front surface on which an operation panel is arranged and a telephone circuit board therewithin. The back surface of the base member is formed tilted with respect to a front surface of the main body, and further, the joining direction of the base member to the main body is reversible. By reversing the joining direction, an appropriate inclination angle of the operation panel can be selectively obtained so as to be suitable for desk use or wall use. A recessed cord housing portion is formed at part of the back surface of the base member so that the surplus telephone cord is not seen from outside. This cord housing portion is formed at the bottom wall thereof with a plurality of connector housing portions having connection openings for respectively housing plural connectors mounted on the telephone circuit board and the optional board. Further, the base member is formed integral with a removable handset hanger for prevention of a handset from being dropped in use as a wall telephone set. The removed handset hanger can be housed within a hanger housing portion for prevention of its loss when not in use.
