Abstract
A chip card reader which includes a housing consisting of a base (4) and a cover (12). An insulating frame (6) is provided, which supports electric contacts connected, on the one hand, to a printed board (9) on which electronic data processing components are mounted and, on the other hand, to a universal USB socket, snapped at the end of the housing. The reader is characterized in that it includes a linearly moving slide unit (14) which is designed to transport the chip card (2) from the outside into the housing to connect the conductive segments of the card (2) to the electric contacts of the socket (10).
