Abstract
The invention relates to a card (7) reading device (1) comprising a housing (10) equipped with a keyboard (5), a display unit (4), a slot (8) for inserting a card (7) into the housing (10) and a cover (2) adapted to be pivoted between an open and closed position for protecting the keyboard (5) and the display unit (4), when in the closed position. The cover (2) includes an integral flap (6) and is attached to the housing (10) by an articulating element (3) that allows it to pivot between the closed position and open position and be brought into position underneath the housing (10) in the open position. The flap (6), which covers the insertion slot (8) when the cover (2) is closed, serves as a support base when in the open position to incline the housing (10) when the reading device is placed on a support surface such as desk or table.
