SMART-CARD CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G06K13/08 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: connector comprises a housing (1) provided with a contact group (4) for connecting to the contacts of the smart-card, a cover (2) mounted on the housing, with a gap between them for inserting a smart-card (3), a spring loaded pusher (5) of a smart-card configured to move along the smart-card I/O axis, a pivot lock (8) of the pusher in the smart-card insertion position movably connected to the armature of the electromagnet (10), and a shutter (11) in the form of a rod member disposed in the recess of the housing (1) and configured to interact with the pusher (5) with the linear movement of the flap (11) along the I/O axis of the smart-card. The first end (11a) of the shutter is connected to the housing (1) by means of a compression spring (12), and an angled wall (11f) is formed at the second end (11e) to lock the end of the smart-card (3) in the insertion position. Herewith the second end (11e) is connected to the housing (1) by means of a crank (13) allowing the second end (11e) to rise and lower relative to the housing recess (1) during the said linear movement of the shutter (11).

EFFECT: increasing the reliability of fixing the smart-card, reducing the probability of its spontaneous release and reducing the resistance to movement of the shutter.
