The invention relates to a card reader (1), into which a data-storage card (2) can be inserted for information exchange, with a card guide (4, 5) which guides the card (2) approximately horizontally into data-exchange position. This card guide is interrupted for a section, downwards and in the direction of insertion (3). The length (L) of this section is less than normal card length. Beneath the interrupted section (7) is a drop opening (8) for cards (2') of shorter length than normal cards (2). The inventive card reader (1) is characterized in that, when in data-exchange position, the front end (2a) of the card rests against a support (11) in the card reader (1). The invention seeks to guarantee reliable insertion into data-exchange position, even of cards having surfaces that are very bent downwards in longitudinal direction. To this end, a stopping segment (15) extends, counter to the direction of insertion (3), from the support (11) to beneath the interrupted section (7) of the card guide. The stopping segment can be produced either as a one-piece moulded article together with the card reader housing, or as a separate piece. |
