Abstract
An apparatus for receiving a transportable card-shaped or disk-shaped data storage, which apparatus is arranged at the front wall of a device and the data storage can be brought into an operating position by it, the data storage being in the operating position in a parallel position relative to the front face of the respective device and is sunk in the front wall so as to be inaccessible. In particular, the apparatus includes a cover, which is supported at the front wall of the device so as to act like a rocker, a holding and contacting arrangement for a data storage being constructed at the inside of the device, as well as a printed circuit board which is fastened in the device so as to be stationary and is connected with the cover via a flexible conduction band exercising a springing effect.
