PURPOSE: To facilitate the eject of a card by providing a card support member opening/closing an open hole with self-weight in interlocking with the opening closing operation of a shutter to a discharge port.
CONSTITUTION: Cards 18 discharged from a card discharge equipment 5 are overlapped on a tilt plate 286 of a discharge port 8 tiltedly, supported by a card support member 280, and when a shutter plate 253 of a shutter is descended, the card support member 280 is tilted outward by the self-weight and locked to a stopper plate 285. Thus, the card 18 slides down to the card support member 280 and the tip if placed outward from the shutter plate 253 and the extraction of the card 18 is implemented easily by a notch formed to the card support member 280. Moreover, after the card 18 is extracted, when the shutter plate 252 is raised, the card support member 280 is pushed up by the shutter plate 253 and contained in the inside of the shutter plate 253.
