' and useful Improvements in Telephone Cabinets, of which the following is a specification. 1
The present invention relates more particularly to telephone cabinets and the object is to provide a combined article of furniture constituting a convenient seat and holder for a telephone instrument, so arranged that the instrument and acco mpanying directory will normally be entirely out of view, but is readily available and will support the instrument in proper relation to the occupant of the seat.

In the embodiment illustrated a seat 4:, supported on legs 5, is provided with a back 6, and one end ar 7.
-At the other end the seat is recessed, as illustrated at 8 and is provided with a housing or casing 9 having a flat top 10. The front Wall 11 of the housing preferably is curved to conform to the configuration of the recess 8. and said housing has in its inner side facing the seat a door-way 12. This door-way is closed by a swinging door 13 having suitable means, as 14, to hold a telephone directory, indicated at 15. The housing is large enough to receive a telephone instrument '16. The door 13 is preferably notched at the'corners, as shown at 17. to
provide openings through which the telephone cord may be passed.
It will be noted that when the instrument is not in use it can be placed within the housing and the door closed, whereupon both instrument and directory are'out of sight. In using the instrument it is only necessary. to open the door, remove the instrument therefrom and place it upon the top 10,which constitutes a shelf that will support the instrument in convenient relation to the occu- Specification of Letters Patent.
