Abstract

Abstract Elastic brushes (4a, 4b) interact with inclined planes (13a, 13b) to hold the card (7) constantly parallel to the base part (1) of the card reader, in the course of the insertion of this card into the read compartment (12). The free ends of the said brushes (4a, 4b) are stressed so as to come into a plane further from the base part (1) than that in which the free ends of the read brushes (3a, 3b) tend to be placed. This device is simple and compact and it makes it possible to remove the static electricity generated as a consequence of the friction of the card with the card reader. <IMAGE>
