Abstract

The card feed unit includes a card receipt position for receipt of the card, a transfer assembly, preferably including a channel, in which the card feed unit is suitable for, during insertion of the card in the receipt position, receiving the card in the receipt position by means of an insertion operation with a direction of movement that, at least as seen in one direction, is substantially perpendicular to the readout direction of the card for preventing that the card is readable during the insertion operation. The card feed unit preferably includes a kernel element and a separate cover element.
