Abstract

PURPOSE: To facilitate number input and the origination of transmission signals, to miniaturize a telephone set and to improve design by selecting concentrically disposed plural terminals and abutting a movable contact point. CONSTITUTION: An approximately disk-like commander 4 for inputting numbers are movably mounted on the intermediate part of a case body 1 and numerals front 0 to 9 are written with an equal interval on the surface of the case body 1 on the outer periphery of the commander 4. When a finger is hooked to the recessed part of the commander 4 and moved in the direction of a desired number, a lever is inclined in the same direction as well, the contact point provided on the tip of the lever is abutted on the corresponding terminal and the number is inputted. When the operation is repeated for the number of the digits of a telephone number, the input numbers are successively displayed at a display part 17. After confirming that the telephone number displayed in such a manner is correct, when the commander 4 is pressed once, the lever is moved in the same direction as well, the contact point provided on one end of a spindle is abutted to the terminal and the transmission signals are originated.
