ABSTRACT:
The IC card reader includes card positioning and guide means and contact elements which provide electrical connections with conducting areas on the IC card, via which circuits are established with the apparatus in which the IC card reader is incorporated. The card reader includes, in particular, a carriage (8) which is moveable relative to a contact frame (3), having a rest position that it occupies when there is no card in the reader, being urged into its rest position by return means (RA), and an actuated position into which it is thrust by a card (100) inserted in the reader. The carriage (8) is arranged to co-operate with the contact elements (35, 36) in such a manner that when in its rest position, the carriage (8) causes the contact elements (35, 36) to be held in a rest position in which they lie off the insertion path (62) of a card, and when in its actuated position, the carriage (8) causes the contact elements (35, 36) to bear against the contact positions of the card.
