CARD READER WITH CONVEYOR ROLLERS MOUNTED ON SWIVEL ARMS

摘要

The invention relates to a card reader (40) comprising at least two conveyor rollers (23, 24, 25) for the card (3). Said conveyor rollers (23, 24, 25) are located one behind the other in the direction in which the card is introduced and are mounted on a swivel arm (21, 22), at a distance from the swivel axis (26, 27) of said swivel arm (21, 22), which can be pivoted in a plane that is located at a right angle to the card path, against the effect of a restoring force. When the card being introduced causes a conveyor roller of the swivel arm to pivot about the thickness of said card, the conveyor rollers situated further away from the swivel axis are also all caused to pivot about a distance greater than the thickness of the card, i.e. out of the path of the card.
