Abstract: The card reading device is for use in mobile radio devices. From a battery compartment, the card is longitudinally inserted into a receiving apparatus through a receiving slot and is ejected through the receiving slot, following use, by a slide which is accessible from outside through an opening in the housing and which has a catch for the card. For reasons of space efficiency the slide is located beneath the receiving apparatus, the catch being arranged at the end of the slide, which is situated behind the card, viewed in the direction of card ejection. The front edge of the slide, viewed in the direction of card ejection, serves as a snapping lock for the battery and projects into the battery compartment through a second slot. In a first inserted position of the slide the front edge projects a prescribed length into the battery compartment. The slide can be slid counter to a spring restoring force into a second position, in which the front edge is located inside the second slot.

Abstract: In a hand-held broadcast means of communications technology, the charging device for the integrated battery is connected via a covered plug. The cover of the plug is automatically opened when the hand-held broadcast device is placed onto the charging device and the path for the cooperating plug of the charging device is thus exposed.
