Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A payment terminal includes a slot for inserting a magnetic memory card. A general display plane of the terminal, formed by a keyboard and/or a terminal screen, forms a non-zero angle with a general positioning surface of the terminal. The bottom plane of the insertion slot of a magnetic memory card is appreciably parallel to the plane on which the terminal is positioned.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A payment terminal comprising: at least one of a keyboard or a terminal screen; a slot for inserting a magnetic memory card, and a general display plane, which is formed by at least one of the keyboard or the terminal screen, forms a non-zero angle with a general positioning surface of said terminal, wherein a bottom plane of the insertion slot is substantially parallel to a plane of the general positioning surface on which the terminal is positioned. 2 . The payment terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom plane of the insertion slot forms an angle of 0° to 5° with the plane on which the terminal is positioned. 3 . The payment terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal further comprises a pin-code mask positioned relative to the keyboard or terminal screen and wherein the slot has a height relative to the plane on which the terminal, which is sufficient so that fingers holding the card during its translational motion within the slot do not come into contact with the pin-code mask of the terminal.
