What is required for the arrangement of modules (11) on a module carrier (13), for example in an optical character generator (1), is that the modules (11) be positively and non-positively fixed on the module carrier (13), particularly given the occurrence of thermal expansions. In accord with the invention, a fastening means (7) is provided for that purpose that is arranged in a bore (135, 135) inclined relative to the contacting surface of the module (11) and of the module carrier (13) and thereby detachably fastens the module on the module carrier (13). Arrangement for detachably fastening modules (11) on a module carrier (13), particularly for the character generator (1) of a non-mechanical printer.

A station for accommodation of a chargeable, cordless telephone is provided with a hollow for receiving the cordless telephone. The cordless telephone contains a cassette provided with chargeable batteries which serve to supply the current and which are charged by a corresponding charging system of the station when the telephone is inserted into the hollow. For the accommodation of a separate cassette which also contains chargeable batteries, the station is provided with a further recess in which the charging system also has access to the batteries. A separate cassette can be accommodated in the further recess of the station and kept connected to the charging system in an uninterrupted fashion, independently of use intervals and charging intervals of the cordless telephone. Thus the separate cassette is at all times available for rapid exchange with the cassette contained in the cordless telephone.
