Abstract
For a data card unit (1), in which the data cards (68) are transported by motor into the reading/writing position, a two-armed rocker (13), on one arm of which a closing element (57) is arranged, is provided for closing the insertion opening. The other arm of the rocker (13) has a sensing element (66, 67). The distance between the closing element (57) and the sensing element (66, 67) is chosen to be equal to or greater than the length of the data card (68) and the assignment of the closing element (57) and the sensing element (66, 67) to the plane of movement of the data card (68) is set up such that, during the insertion/ejection of a data card (68), the rocker (13) is pivoted by the data card (68) and either the closing element (57) or the sensing element (66, 67) enters the plane of movement of the data card (68).
