Abstract: A data card insertion device, in particular for a tachograph of a motor vehicle, with a front panel having a slot-shaped receiving opening through which a data card can be inserted. The device also has a sealing device behind, in the direction of insertion of the data card, which has an insertion slot behind the receiving opening, in the direction of insertion, for the sealed insertion of the data card.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for receiving a card with a housing. Said housing has a horizontal, slot-shaped receiving opening for introducing a card into a receiving slot in the interior of the card receiving device. Additionally, a closure is provided for closing the receiving opening, the closure having a closure element with a seal, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the receiving opening and which is movable against an elastic force, at right angles to the plane of the receiving slot, from a closed position blocking off the receiving opening into a release position releasing the receiving opening. The closure element can be lifted in a guide of the housing at right angles to the plane of the receiving slot from the closed position into the release position, and is fitted with a sealing lip, extending over the length of the receiving opening, made from an elastic plastic, which in the closed position is in contact with the lower slot wall of the receiving slot.

Abstract: In a tachograph for a motor vehicle having a holder for a paper strip, which is wound onto a paper roll, and a printing unit, means for prestressing the paper strip against a stop are provided. This reliably keeps the paper strip in an envisaged position with respect to the printing unit. A printout produced by the printing unit is thus oriented on the paper strip with respect to a zero line.

Abstract: A tachograph for a motor vehicle comprises a guide element for guiding a paper strip in relation to a printing group. The guide element requires no pretensioning means and is connected to the printing group via a carrier. As a result, the paper strip is reliably aligned in relation to the printing couple.

Abstract: A paper strip (6) for a tachograph (1) has a series of marks (17, 18) which extend transversely with respect to its direction of movement in the tachograph (1). The marks (17, 18) are of different lengths and are sensed by a sensor (10, 11). The sensor (10, 11) generates a signal sequence which provides definitive information about an offset of the paper strip (6) in the printing unit (7). A control device (12) actuates a printing unit (7) of the tachograph (1) and compensates for the offset.

Abstract: In a tachograph (1) for a motor vehicle, a drawer (10) can be extended through an opening (8) in a front panel frame (2). When the drawer (10) is in the closed state, a recording disc (9) in the drawer (10) is situated in the opening (8) in the front panel frame (2) and holds a circumferential sealing lip (14). A second sealing lip (16) seals off the recording disc (9) from a drawer panel (3). When the drawer (10) is in the closed state, the sealing lip (14) sealing off the recording disc (9) abuts an inwardly pointing edge (15) of the opening (8) in the front panel frame (2).
