Chip card receiving device comprising a carriage for holding a chip card

摘要

A chip-card-receiving device has a carriage for holding a chip card, means for fixing and releasing a chip card, and a clamping element. The carriage is displaceably mounted between an insertion/removal position and a reading/writing position on a carrier. The clamping element is spring-mounted on the carriage such that the clamping element rests resiliently on an inserted chip card. The clamping element has ramps formed on the carrier such that the clamping element is lifted from a plane of the chip card in an insertion/removal position of the carriage.
