Abstract
A card holder has a generally flat and rectangular plastic base fixed to a support, e.g. a printed-circuit board of a card reader, and formed centered on an axis with a pair of pivot pins. A generally rectangular and flat metal cover forming a slot dimensioned to hold the card is unitarily formed with a pair of U-shaped journals each fitting partially around a respective one of the pins and forming therewith a hinge. Thus the cover can pivot between an open position with the cover and the card in the slot partially raised from the base and a closed position with the cover and the card in the slot closely juxtaposed with the base.
