A telephone enclosure which provides wheelchair access while maintaining efficient usage of floor space is disclosed. The enclosure includes two telephone instruments. The enclosure may be constructed from mass-produced components while providing an appearance that can be customized for a particular business establishment. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention may be most easily understood with reference to FIGS.
1, 2, and 3.
FIG.
1 is a front view of a telephone enclosure 10 according to the present invention.
FIG.
2 is a top view of an enclosure 10, and FIG.
3 is a side view of telephone enclosure 10.
The entrance 14 to the enclosure, indicated as a broken line in the figures, is preferably 5' wide, permitting easy access to the enclosure by a handicapped person confined to a wheelchair.
The bottom sill of the door opening is flush with the surrounding floor area, so as not to impede wheelchair access.
Telephone enclosure 10 has two telephone instruments, 11 and 12, mounted angularly against the back wall of the enclosure.
These telephones are mounted such that the coin slots 18 on each instrument are located at a height of approximately 52" from the floor of the enclosure.
Thus, the coins slots 18, the receiver 13, and the dialing pad 19 on each instrument are easily accessible to a person either seated in a wheelchair or standing in front of the telephone.
As shown in FIG.
1, there is a rack 20 for holding telephone directories mounted beneath counter 16 below telephone 12, the right-hand instrument in the enclosure.
There is no such rack beneath counter 17 below telephone 11, the left-hand instrument.
The lack of obstructions under the left-hand instrument provides improved access to the left-hand instrument for persons in wheel-chairs.
Yet the directories are available in the enclosure, within easy reach, should a handicapped user need access to them.
The left-hand instrument was chosen because most persons are right handed.
The telephone instruments are mounted against the rear wall 15 of the enclosure, at 45.
degree.
angles with respect to the rear wall, as indicated at 11 and 12 in FIG.
2.
This arrangement provides maximum distance between the two instruments.
The rear wall 15 of the enclosure comprises a soundproofing material, which, in conjunction with the spacing of the instruments, insures reasonable privacy when two users are sharing the booth
