A device for reading credit cards (3) has a channel (1) for receiving the credit card (3). At a transition point (10), the channel (1) extends through a foreign body collecting chamber (9). A support (8) that acts as a stop for the credit card (3) prevents, together with other supports (6; 7), the credit card (3) from entering the collecting chamber (9). A deflecting surface (11) is designed in the area of the support (8) in such a way that foreign bodies introduced into the channel (1) do not block the channel but are deflected by the deflecting surface (11) on the support (8) into the collecting chamber (9). |
