Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a card reader which includes a card lock mechanism having a lock member driven by a motor in order to prevent illegal pulling-out of a card, and is structured so that a lock state of the card by the lock member can be manually released by rotating a knob while preventing damage of the lock member and the motor due to excessive rotation of the knob.SOLUTION: A lock member provided with a blocking pawl which is brought into contact with a card to prevent pulling-out of the card is moved between a contact position where the blocking pawl is brought into contact with the card and a retreated position where the blocking pawl is retreated from a card conveyance passage when driven by a motor. After performing first control in which the motor is driven to move the lock member to the contact position, when the movement of the lock member to the retreated position is detected, a tactile stimulation sequence is executed in which the motor is driven to apply movement to a knob so that attention of an operator operating the knob is called in a tactile manner.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
