Abstract
A detector of a flat plate (12) comprises two contact bars (1, 2) extending along two longitudinal parallel axes. Each contact bar is a curved bar having two segments extending opposite each other, a first bar (1) comprising an extension piece (3) configured so as to be opposite the second bar (2), these bars being lodged in a housing (13) suitable for holding the segments compressed between walls of the housing. The extension piece (3) forms a projection on one face of the housing, so that the flat plate (12) traveling parallel to this face can move the extension piece (3) between the projecting position thereof and a drawn-in position in which the extension piece (3) is in contact with a second bar (2). Use, in particular, for a frame (10) for reading an electronic card (12).
