ABSTRACT:
The device for feeding card-type data supports in a processing equipment includes a guiding path having at least one lateral abutment edge for aligning the data support during travelling from an introduction slot towards a processing position within the equipment. The data support being correctly aligned during its travel along the guiding path, it may be processed during such travel by reading and/or writing data thereon. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the automatic feeding and alignment of the data support is achieved by a frictional guiding wheel secured on a driving shaft which in turn may be pivoted about an axis normal to the plane of the data support card. Thus, the driving wheel may pivot between two predetermined positions, and in a first position in which the data support is first engaged, it will only exert a driving force on the data support, and immediately subsequently, the driving wheel will be pivoted into the second position by engagement of its peripheral surface with the wall of the receiving zone of the data support; when in its second position, the driving wheel will simultaneously exert both the driving force and an alignment force on the data support.
