Abstract: A card reader is arranged in a housing including a pivotable flap, which in an opened state enables and in a closed state prevents access to the card reader. The flap has an opening, through which a card can be fed to or ejected by the card reader in the closed state of the flap. An elastically deformable element resiliently supports the card reader. A first positioning element for positioning the card reader is arranged on the flap to lie opposite the card reader in the closed state of the flap. When the flap is moved from the open state into the closed state, the first positioning element moves the card reader in such a way that the card reader is arranged in a predefined position relative to the flap in the closed state of the flap.

Abstract: An assembly 10 has a card reader 12 arranged in a housing 100. The housing 100 comprises a pivotable flap 102, which in an opened state enables access to the card reader 12 and in a closed state prevents access to the card reader 12. The flap 102 has an opening 104, through which a card can be fed to the card reader 12 and/or can be ejected by the card reader 12 in the closed state of the flap 102. The assembly 10 has an elastically deformable element 14 for resiliently supporting the card reader 12. The assembly 10 also has a first positioning element 16 for positioning the card reader 12, which first positioning element is arranged on the flap 102 so as to lie opposite the card reader 12 in the closed state of the flap 102. When the flap 102 is moved from the open state into the closed state, the first positioning element 16 moves the card reader 12 in such a way that the card reader 12 is arranged in a predefined position relative to the flap 102 in the closed state of the flap 102.
