The card (figure 1, 3, 17) contains a housing 1 made in the form of a flat strip. The substrate 2 (Fig. 1, 2, 10-14, 16, 19-21) is designed to install a chip (in Fig. 2, the chip is shown conditionally with dash-dotted lines in the form of a square with rounded corners) and is located in the cutout of the housing 1. Mounting element 3 designed to install the substrate 2 in the housing 1 and is configured to replace the substrate 2.

The fastening element 3 is made in the form of a plate (Figs. 1, 2, 4-9, 15, 18, 22) installed on the side of the edge of the housing 1. The cutout shape of the housing 1 is made corresponding to the profile of the fastening element 3 — the plate, allowing its movement along the longitudinal axis of the housing 1 (Fig.2, 3). The substrate 2 is made round (figure 2, 10-14, 16, 21), and in the plate is made

under it a round hole 4 (Fig.5, 15). The end face of the substrate 2 is made with at least one recess 5, and the round hole 4 of the plate with the corresponding location of the recess 5 by the protrusion 6, which provides the recess 5 of the substrate 2 in / on the protrusion 6 of the plate with the possibility of arranging the substrate 2 flush with the flat strip of the housing 1 and with the plane of the plate (figures 1, 5, 7-16, 18-21). At least one shoulder 7 is made at the end of the cutout of the housing 1, and at least one through slot 8 for this shoulder 7 is made from the end of the plate to the round hole 4 (FIGS. 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 17). The housing 1 and the plate of the element 3 are provided with guides 9 (FIGS. 2-5, 15, 17, 22), which ensure that, when the plate moves along the longitudinal axis of the housing 1 along the guides 9, the collar 7 enters the through slot 8 of the plate. The guides 9 also provide the possibility of arranging the shoulder 7 in the recess 5 of the substrate 2 and fixing it by means of the shoulder 7 through the through slot 8 (Fig.2, 15, 17).

The bead 7 is made less than the thickness of the plate of the element 3, is located relative to it in the middle and in the middle of the housing 1 (Fig.23).

The protrusion 6 is made less than the thickness of the plate of the element 3 and is located in its middle (figures 1, 9, 18).

The protrusion 6 can be made less than the thickness of the plate of the element 3, and the edge of the protrusion 6 can be located flush with the surface of the plate (Fig.1, 7, 8, 18).

At least two protrusions 6 smaller than the thickness of the plate can be used, one of which is located in the middle of the thickness of the plate, and the edge of the other is flush with the surface of the plate (FIGS. 1, 18).

The recess 5 at the end of the substrate can be made continuous (Fig.12-14, 16, 21).

The recess 5 at the end of the substrate can be made intermittent (figure 10, 11).

Each of the guides 9 can be made in the form of a groove 10 located in the housing 1, and corresponding to it in the form of a ledge 11 located on the plate of the element 3 (figure 4).

Each of the guides 9 can be made in the form of a bulge 12 located on the neckline of the housing 1, and corresponding to it in the form of a groove 13, made in the plate of the element 3 (Fig.15, 17, 22).

The device operates (Fig.1-23) as follows.

For the location of the elements shown (Figs. 1-14), tilting the position 2 slightly, recesses 5 are introduced into the protrusions 6, so that the substrate 2 is flush with the plate of the fastening element 3. Along the guides 9, the plate of the element 3 is shifted to the right. The shoulder 7 when moving the plate element 3 pass through the through slots 8. The substrate 2 is securely and quickly fixed in a predetermined position.

Remove the substrate 2 with the chip in the same way. The plate of the fastening element 9 along the guides 9 is shifted to the left. Slightly tilting the position 2, remove the recesses 5 from the protrusions 6, remove the substrate from the hole 4. Due to the fact that the hole 4 is made through, it is possible to simply and easily replace the position 2.

The recess 5 can be made intermittent (figure 10, 11), which prevents the rotation of the circular substrate 2 around its axis. The recess 5 can be solid (Fig.12-14), which simplifies the installation of the substrate 2, because no need to monitor the coincidence of the position of the recess 5 under the flange 7.

The variant in FIGS. 15-23 differs from the variant in FIGS. 1-14, that only one shoulder 7 is used, located on the longitudinal axis of the housing 1 opposite to the element 3.

The device operates (Fig.15-23) as follows.

To install the substrate 2, the plate of the element 2 is shifted to the left. The protrusions 6 are combined with the recesses 5 (or one protrusion 6 with the recess 5, if only one protrusion 6 is used). On the guides 9 shift the element 3 to the right. The bead 7 passes through the slot 8 and enters the recess 5, securely fixing the substrate 2. To replace the chip, remove the substrate 2 in the same way, performing the indicated operations in the reverse order.

The most successfully announced electronic card is industrially applicable as a smart card data carrier.
