Handset supporting device

摘要

A telephone handset support device includes a resting base having a receiver setting recess and a receiver engaging projection formed on an inner side surface of the receiver setting recess. When a receiver is set in the recess, the projection engages with an engagement recess formed in the receiver. The handset resting base is provided with a spring which applies an urging force in the direction of releasing the engagement between the engagement recess of the handset and the receiver engaging projection and which also functions as charging terminals. The spring functions, when the support device is used for a desk-top type telephone, to release the engagement between the engagement recess and the receiver engaging projection and, when the support device is used for a wall-hang type telephone, to enable engagement between the engagement recess and the receiver engaging projection due to the weight of the handset itself against the urging force.
