Abstract
A card reader is arranged in a housing including a pivotable flap, which in an opened state enables and in a closed state prevents access to the card reader. The flap has an opening, through which a card can be fed to or ejected by the card reader in the closed state of the flap. An elastically deformable element resiliently supports the card reader. A first positioning element for positioning the card reader is arranged on the flap to lie opposite the card reader in the closed state of the flap. When the flap is moved from the open state into the closed state, the first positioning element moves the card reader in such a way that the card reader is arranged in a predefined position relative to the flap in the closed state of the flap.

An assembly with a card reader which is arranged in a housing comprising:
- a frame element;
- the card reader;
- and
- the housing including a pivotable flap which, in an open state, enables access to the card reader, and which, in a closed state, prevents access to the card reader, and the pivotable flap having an opening, through which a card can be fed to the card reader and can be dispensed by way of the card reader in the closed state of the pivotable flap, wherein the pivotable flap is connected to the frame element via the housing, characterized in that the assembly has an elastically deformable element for resiliently mounting the card reader, the elastically deformable element connected fixedly to the frame element and connected to the card reader in that the assembly has a first positioning element for positioning the card reader, which first positioning element is arranged on the pivotable flap so as to lie opposite the card reader in the closed state of the pivotable flap, and in that the first positioning element moves the card reader, in the case of the movement of the pivotable flap from the open state into the closed state, in such a way that, in the closed state of the pivotable flap, the card reader is arranged in a predefined position relative to the pivotable flap.
