Device for reading magnetic-strip cards and cards with electronic chips

摘要

In the case of the reading device according to the invention, a credit card with a magnetic strip and/or an electronic chip can be introduced into a guide channel (1) which has a base (15) and a sliding guide. A magnetic head (20) is pressed into contact by a spring (21) and can read the magnetic strip (PM) of the card (C). At the other end of the channel, a slide (4) is arranged in such a way that it can move against a flexible resistance (45) and has a projection part (41) which forms a stop for the card (C), which is held between the stop (41) and a further stop (32) which is formed on a barrier (30). This and other means serve the purpose of fixing the card (C) completely during the interaction of a contact head (50) with its connecting element (PE) to the electronic chip located in it. IMAGE
