The system includes: first and second support elements having first hooking elements and a first reversible locking element. The support elements are configured to receive the electronic payment terminal or a charging base for charging the electronic payment terminal and to be fixedly attached to the charging base or to a fixed pedestal. The system also includes a lower hatch to be fixed beneath the electronic payment terminal and having second hooking elements configured to cooperate with the first hooking elements of the first and second support elements, and further having a second reversible locking element configured to cooperate the first the reversible locking element the support elements.

Abstract: A component for holding a magnetic reading head, and a slotted magnetic card reader comprising a magnetic card reader held by such a component. The holding device includes a single component having at least one perforated plane surface appreciably of the same length and same width as the rear face of the housing of the reading head. The reading head also has two surfaces perpendicular to the perforated plane surface that form two mutually parallel lateral uprights intended to grip the housing of the magnetic reading head, and at least one affixation point.

Abstract: A memory card reader body of a generally parallelepiped shape has a slot for insertion of a memory card and a housing to receive a memory card connector. The reader body has an upper cover and a lower base. The upper cover is made out of metal and the reader body further includes a printed-circuit board affixed to an upper face of the upper cover. The printed-circuit board includes at least one protection element.

Abstract: A method for unloading a substrate from a support table configured to support the substrate, the method including: supplying gas to a gap between a base surface of the support table and the substrate via a plurality of gas flow openings in the support table, wherein during an initial phase of unloading the gas is supplied through at least one gas flow opening in an outer region of the support table and not through any gas flow opening in a central region of the support table radially inward of the outer region, and during a subsequent phase of unloading the gas is supplied through at least one gas flow opening in the outer region and at least one gas flow opening in the central region.

Abstract: A support element of a keypad included in a keyboard of a data input device. The support element puts at least one dummy key of a printed circuit board under pressure.

Abstract: A portable electrical power supply device includes a battery, cables and a female connector to which is attached a cover aimed at attaching the connector to the battery. This cover notably attaches the female connector and the battery as such. This gives a compact, consistent and rigid assembly. No separate handling operations need to be planned to insert the female connector into the male connector and insert the battery into its housing. Besides, in at least certain embodiments, the rigid cover is shaped so that it does not take up a volume greater than that of the battery without a cover.

Abstract: A data-entry device includes an upper cover to which a capacitive pad is affixed through the exterior. The capacitive pad has at least one flexible security element having at least one electrical track connected to a cut-detection module in the device. The shape and the mounting of the at least one security device is adapted to exert a force on the internal face of the upper cover.

Abstract: A housing of a terminal is formed by at least one lower cover and an upper cover. The housing the lower cover and upper cover are fixed together in an articulated manner, the articulated fixing being able to take up at least one position closing the housing and a position opening the housing, in which the lower cover and upper cover are joined together.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a flexible printed circuit board of longitudinal shape comprising at least one conductive track extending over the length of the flexible printed circuit, the flexible printed circuit board comprising at least one folding area shaped so as to allow said flexible printed circuit board to pass from an unfolded state to a folded state in which the conductive track forms at least one antenna loop.

Abstract: A combustion device (10) includes at least one combustion chamber (11) with a plurality of burners (B1, . . . , Bn) operating in parallel which produce in each case a flame (F1, . . . , Fn) which reaches into the combustion chamber (11), wherein each of the burners (B1, . . . , Bn), via a fuel distribution system (18), is supplied with a fuel from a fuel supply (16), which fuel distribution system (18) includes control elements (V1, . . . , Vm) for manual or controlled regulating of the fuel supply and/or fuel composition of individual burners (B1, . . . , Bn) and/or groups of burners (B1, . . . , B3; Bn?2, . . . , Bn). In a method of using the combustion device, a quick optimization or homogenization is achieved by a function (F) of the flame temperatures of the burners (B1, . . . , Bn) being provided in dependence upon the positions of the control elements (V1, . . .

Abstract: A payment terminal includes a slot for inserting a magnetic memory card. A general display plane of the terminal, formed by a keyboard and/or a terminal screen, forms a non-zero angle with a general positioning surface of the terminal. The bottom plane of the insertion slot of a magnetic memory card is appreciably parallel to the plane on which the terminal is positioned.
