Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement with a card reader arranged in a housing.
- the housing includes a hinged flap that allows access to the card reader in an open condition and prevents access to the card reader in a closed condition.
- the flap has an opening through which a card in the closed state of the flap can be fed to the card reader and / or can be output by the card reader.
- the document DE10 2011 118 319 A1 discloses a lottery terminal with a terminal housing.
- the terminal housing includes a plurality of spatially separated functional unit receiving areas.
- a card reading unit is arranged in one of the functional unit receiving areas.
- a recess is formed in the shutter which allows insertion and removal of a card into or out of the card reading unit when the shutter is in a closed state.
- the opening of the closing flap must be brought into a position opposite the card reading unit so that insertion and ejection of a card in the closed state of the flap is possible.
- the position of the recess may change in relation to the card reading unit, so that the insertion and output of the card is no longer reliably possible.
- the arrangement according to the invention has a card reader arranged in a housing.
- the housing includes a hinged flap that allows access to the card reader in an open condition and prevents access to the card reader in a closed condition.
- the flap has an opening through which a card in the closed state of the flap can be fed to the card reader and / or can be output by the card reader.
- the arrangement has an elastically deformable element for the resilient mounting of the card reader.
- the arrangement further has a first positioning element for positioning the card reader, which is arranged on the flap opposite the card reader in the closed state of the flap. The first positioning element moves when moving the flap from the open to the closed state, the card reader such that the card reader is arranged in the closed state of the flap in a predetermined position relative to the flap.
- the elastically deformable element By means of the elastically deformable element, a mechanically particularly simple resilient mounting of the card reader in the housing is realized.
- the resilient mounting of the card reader makes it possible for the card reader to be moved from the opened to the closed state by the first positioning element during the movement of the flap.
- the elastically deformable member and the first positioning member cooperate to move the card reader to the predetermined position relative to the flap. Tolerances, in particular shape and position tolerances, during the movement of the flap are compensated by the resilient mounting of the card reader.
- the card reader is thus when moving the flap from the open in the closed state reliably moves to the predetermined position. Thus, insertion and ejection of a card in the closed state of the flip in or out of the card reader is particularly reliable.
- the card reader in the closed state of the flap is inclined in the direction of the opening.
- This inclination can for example be between 2 ° and 7 °, preferably 5 °, relative to a horizontal orientation of the card reader.
- a horizontal orientation is understood to mean an orientation of the card reader in which the card is inserted horizontally into the card reader or output again through the card reader.
- the elastically deformable element has a second positioning element.
- the first positioning member is engaged with the second positioning member for positioning the card reader.
- the first positioning element is placed on a circular path in a position opposite to the card reader.
- the card reader has a second positioning element.
- the first positioning element is brought into engagement with the second positioning element for positioning the card reader.
- the elastically deformable element is biased such that the second positioning element is pressed in the closed state of the flap against the first positioning element. This prevents one unwanted movement of the card reader in the closed state of the flap, for example, by a vibration of the arrangement. Thus, the card reader is held particularly reliably in the predetermined position relative to the flap.
- the elastically deformable element is biased by the weight of the card reader.
- the elastically deformable ele ment is biased such that the card reader is inclined in the open state between 2 ° and 5 °, preferably 3 °, relative to the horizontal orientation of the card reader in the direction of the flap.
- the elastically deformable element is integrally formed.
- the arrangement is particularly simple and inexpensive to produce.
- the elastically deformable element comprises a spring plate.
- a spring plate is a mechanically simple and inexpensive way to produce an elastically deformable element.

- the second positioning element can be formed by a section of the spring plate facing the first positioning element.
- the elastically deformable element has holes through which screws can be guided, by means of which the card reader can be fastened to the spring plate.
- the elastically deformable element projects a pivoting movement of the card reader coupled to the elastically deformable element. preferably allows a rotation axis.
- the elastically deformable element is detachably connected to the housing or to a frame element connected to the housing.
- the elastically deformable element may be fastened by means of screws to the housing or the frame element.
- the elastically deformable element can preferably be removed from the housing together with the card reader for maintenance.
- the arrangement preferably comprises a frame element which is arranged in an interior of the housing and to which the elastically deformable element is connected.
- the frame member may be formed as a trough, in which the elastically deformable element is arranged.
- the elastically deformable element may be fixedly or detachably connected to the frame element.
- further components of the arrangement can be arranged on and / or on the frame element.
- the frame element can be separated from further frame elements and / or the housing and removed through a maintenance opening arranged on the side of the housing applied to the flap.
- the arrangement may be a self-service machine, in particular an ATM, a lottery terminal, a fuel terminal or a cash machine.
- the flap of the housing further openings, for example, for the output of a printed receipt, the issue of notes or the arrangement of a display and / or input element.
- the flap may have cover elements on an outer side for covering and / or enclosing components and assemblies integrated in the flap.

- the second positioning element 26 abuts the second guide element 34 and thereby presses the front part 18 of the elastically deformable Ele ments 14 down.
- the positioning element 16 also has a through hole 36 arranged below the second guide element 34. 2, a screw can be guided, which is screwed into an internal thread provided in the flap 102 in order to firmly connect the positioning element 16 to the flap 102, so that it forms part of the flap 102.
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective sectional view of a part of the arrangement 10 according to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- the sectional plane is perpendicular to the flap 102 and runs centrally through the card reader 12.
- FIG. 6 shows a part of the card reader 12 facing the flap 102, the front one Part 18 of the elastically deformable element 14 and the first positioning element 16.
- the second positioning element 26 abuts against the webs 35 of the first guide element 34 of the first positioning element 16.
- the second positioning element 26 is thus in engagement with the first positioning element 16 whereby a movement of the second positioning element 26 upwards and downwards is reliably prevented.
