  • Patent number: 5926365
    Abstract: A device for the exchange of information with an electronic memory card which can be placed into a read position in the device through an insertion opening along an insertion track, in which position electrical contacts of the memory card are in contact with electrical contacts of the device provided on a carrier which is displaceable transversely to the insertion track. In the absence of the memory card, the contacts are situated in the insertion track under the influence of a pretensioning force. The carrier has an abutment surface which extends obliquely relative to the insertion track so that the carrier can be displaced out of the insertion track by the memory card against the pretensioning force during the passage of the memory card. In the read position of the memory card, accordingly, the carrier is in a position which is adapted to the thickness of the memory card, so that the device is suitable for cooperating with memory cards of various thicknesses.
