In an access control device () having a reader that actuates a person singling device when reading a valid data carrier, a formed body () is put over the reader housing (), said body being provided with a recess () for that purpose.

Access control device

An apparatus for reading authorization cards with a bar code has a housing with an insertion slot for inserting the card and at least one reading head in the housing for scanning the bar code in a line perpendicular to the insertion direction of the card. The space in the housing is formed to be so long that the card is insertable further beyond the scan line of the reading head by a path (d) that is greater than the distance (c') between the leading edge of the card and the end of the bar code field facing away from the leading edge. This permits reading of cards with different lengths (a) and different positions (c&#x2032;) of the bar code field.

Reader device for bar-coded authorization cards

A data carrier intended to be worn by an individual for regulating the authorization of the individual into an access controlled location. The data carrier includes a sensor for monitoring a biometric feature of the individual. Internal to the data carrier is a chip in which previously read biometric data are stored. If the data read by the sensor are identical to the stored data, a read out device integral with the data carrier will broadcast a release signal.
