Abstract
The receiving unit for a data card (10) containing an electronic circuit includes a push-in frame showing a receiving compartment (20) for the data card (10) which frame is pivotable between an input/output position and an operating position in which the receiving compartment (20) is inaccessible, and locking means for fixing the push-in frame in the operating position, where the push-in frame is under initial stress in its input/output position and is arranged behind a case wall (14) of the receiving compartment (20) of the receiving unit in such a way that the receiving compartment (20) in its input/output position is in alignment with an input/output slot (16) in the housing wall (14). The locking means include an elastically deflectable restoring unit (32; 54,60), which puts the pushed-in data card (10) under initial stress counter to the push-in direction, and at least one catch projection (34) which is arranged fixed on the case in the region of the input/output slot (16) in such a way that it overlaps the edge of the data card (10) turned toward the input/output slot in the operating position of the push-in frame.
