Design-a-Phone, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1966.
The company, which was based in New York, patented a system that used plastic cover plates to attach to phones so that they could be "decorated" to the owners liking.
The exact patent jargon was as follows:
"A modularized telephone ensemble comprising in combination, a base member with communicating apertures therein, a cover member interfitting with said base member to visibly expose part of the base and to form therewith an interior space with said communicating apertures adapted to receive in said space a set of telephone terminal apparatus, a dial housing cup interfitting with the outside of said cover member with a slanted portion extending into said space, a bracket inside said space affixed to said slanting portion, a removable switch-holder assembly extending from said cover, a handset assembly comprising a plurality of interfitting parts having portions, interfitting in registered position in said holder, an fasteners interfitting each of the aforesaid elements and parts together into a telephone ensemble in which each of said interfitting parts may be separately removed and replaced wherein the base and cover have apertures registering with said bracket and said bracket comprises a generally U-shape bracket with a bridging section between two extending flanges constituting a single member between the base and the cover at one side, and said fasteners for said bracket comprise studs affixed to the two flanges of the bracket respectively coupled with the base and cover to extend through said apertures therein."
