Abstract: An inventive device (1) for cordless telephones (4), with which a base station (2) and at least one charging station (3) are associated in order to charge a battery of a cordless telephone (4) via the charging station (3) when the cordless telephone (4) is located in the charging station (3), is characterized by a mechanical connecting device (10, 11, 14, 17) for detachably connecting the charging station (3) and base station (2) to one another. As a result, more flexible possibilities of use for the charging station (3) are obtained.

Abstract: A reusable ribbon cassette can be provided for a printer for printing on labels by using an ink transferred from the ribbon to the label material, wherein the ribbon cassette provides the ribbon for the printing. Such a re-usable cassette for a ribbon which is used up rapidly, in particular an ink ribbon in a thermal transfer printing process, has two parallel housing halves, one of which has vertically projecting pins onto which the other housing half can be pushed, and then maintained in position by friction. When the cassette is open, the tape, which is conventionally wound on a tape core, can be pushed onto the cores or core pairs of the cassette, and thereby become simultaneously non-rotationally connected to the cores. The connecting pins for the two housing halves advantageously simultaneously form deflector elements for the tape.

Abstract: To conserve relatively expensive printing ribbon, in particular a thermal transfer ribbon, when a portion of the medium which is not to be printed, e.g.

Abstract: A connecting element for a printer housing has housing parts which are connected to one another by at least one connecting element, into which connecting element is integrated a locator device in the form of a T-slot for anchoring peripheral devices to the housing of the printer. Peripheral devices can be detachably connected to the locator device either directly or indirectly by means of an anchor plate.

Abstract: To be able to set up and operate a printer with a control panel in any position, the printer housing or similar structure of the printer contains a panel receptacle for holding a removable control panel, whereby the latter is connected to the control components of the printer by means of a cable, or at least a wireless infrared transmitter, and that the control panel is fixed at least in the direction of withdrawal in the panel receptacle by means of at least one magnet.

Abstract: A printer having a spring-loaded print head which can be pressed against a counterpressure roller, wherein an active strand of a printing ribbon and a medium to be printed run between the print head and the counterpressure roller, can be configured such that the printing ribbon is unwound from a first spool and is wound up on a second spool, can preferably have a slip clutch disposed between the drive of the second spool and the second spool and/or between a drive and a drive roller in contact with the medium to be printed, and the slip clutch can be disposed in a wheel with a concentric shaft. Between the shaft and the wheel there can be at least one pair of axially spring-loaded friction discs.
