May be lost. For this reason, it is often inconvenient for the user to purchase a new wall-mounting bracket when changing from the table-top type to the wall-mounting type. Also, the manufacturer has to prepare inventory as an optional part for a long time,
There was a problem that it required management man-hours. further,
In order to use it as a tabletop, the top of the case has already been raised as a case structure, and to use it on a wall,
Since the lower end side of the wall-mounting bracket has to be further protruded than the upper end side, the amount of protrusion from the wall is increased, so that there is a problem that it is easy to contact the body of a pedestrian.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to enable easy switching between a tabletop and a wall-mounting type and a wall-mounting type. The purpose is to provide a wall-mounted / desktop telephone that has been made thinner.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, a telephone according to the present invention has two mounting surfaces having different inclinations along the front-rear direction so as to have a substantially isosceles triangular shape in a side view. And a flat plate-shaped base member having a mounting portion for mounting a mounting surface of the telephone housing, and a mounting portion for wall mounting. The base member and the telephone housing It is a one-piece assembly. Further, in the telephone according to the present invention, the positioning fitting portion of the base member is provided between the two mounting surfaces.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the base member is turned upside down and the base member is attached to either one of the two attachment surfaces, so that the table or the wall can be selected. Further, according to the present invention, the positioning fitting portion serves as the reversal center of the base member.
