Magnetic card reader comprising a stationary magnetic reading head and a metal strip

1. A magnetic card reader, comprising:

• an electronic card which is intended to receive and process data from a magnetic card,
• a magnetic reading head which is intended to read data contained in at least one magnetic strip of the magnetic card and to transmit these data to the electronic card,
• a zone for passage of the magnetic card, in which the magnetic card is intended to slide and which comprises guide means which are intended to guide the magnetic card as the magnetic card slides in the passage zone,
• wherein the magnetic reading head is mounted so that it is stationary on the magnetic card reader,
• wherein the guide means comprise elastic deformation means which are intended to come into contact with the magnetic card so as to deform it when the magnetic card slides in the passage zone in order to allow the magnetic strip of the magnetic card to be read by the magnetic reading head, and
• in thatwherein the elastic deformation means are made of a material having a Young's modulus greater than 100,000 MPa.
