Abstract
Abstract A device for stabilizing modular wall mounted telephone installations in which the device, made of a laminate comprising a first outer, yieldable layer, such as cork, and a second rigid, inner such as urethane, acts as a shim between the telephone base and the wall thereby making it stationary relative to the wall. The device is planarly enlarged so that the outer layer may be used for decoration or for holding notes, messages, writing materials and other accessories useful in telephonic communication.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A device for stabilizing and making stationary relative to a wall surface a modular wall-mounted telephone having a keyhole slotted base mounted to a flush mounted wall jack having a periphery and lugs, said device in combination comprising a first planiform, inner or wallside layer of rigid material to which is adhered by adhesive means a second planiform, outer or roomside layer of compressible, yieldable material, by which the first and second layers form together a laminate of a defined thickness which is thicker than the telephone jack such that when the wall-mounted modular telephone is installed on the jack lugs by slidably and compressibly engaging through the keyhole slots the base to the lugs and the compressible roomside layer, the telephone becomes stable and stationary relative to the wall, said laminate having a passage of rectilinear cross-section planarly contained therein to permit encirclement of the periphery of the telephone jack, thereby causing the telephone and laminate to become in close, stable contact with each other and stationary relative to the wall.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
172 words
A device for stabilizing and making stationary relative to a wall surface a modular wall-mounted telephone having a keyhole slotted base mounted to a flush mounted wall jack having a periphery and lugs, said device in combination comprising a first planiform, inner or wallside layer of rigid material to which is adhered by adhesive means a second planiform, outer or roomside layer of compressible, yieldable material, by which the first and second layers form together a laminate of a defined thickness which is thicker than the telephone jack such that when the wall-mounted modular telephone is installed on the jack lugs by slidably and compressibly engaging through the keyhole slots the base to the lugs and the compressible roomside layer, the telephone becomes stable and stationary relative to the wall, said laminate having a passage of rectilinear cross-section planarly contained therein to permit encirclement of the periphery of the telephone jack, thereby causing the telephone and laminate to become in close, stable contact with each other and stationary relative to the wall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
As in claim 1 wherein the laminate is extended laterally and longitudinally to provide an area adjacent to the telephone which is shaped decoratively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
As in claim 1 wherein the laminate is extended laterally and longitudinally to provide an area adjacent to the telephone upon which are installed by piercing means through the yieldable layer into the rigid layer accessories for note taking.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
As in claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the yieldable layer is a member of a class comprising cork and rubber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
As in claim 4 wherein the yieldable layer is cork.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
As in claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the passage is acentrically located.
