CARD READER

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/045458

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A card reader (1) is configured in such a manner that: an opening (13) for allowing a magnetic head to pass therethrough is formed between a positioning member (50) and a guide section (29a); and the distance (L) between the card contact section (50a) of the positioning member (50) and the inner end of the guide section (29a) is less than the transverse width (W2) of a card (2). When the opening (13) has been closed by a shutter member (14), the front end of the shutter member (14) is located below the guide section (29a), and when the opening (13) has not been closed by the shutter member (14), the shutter member (14) is located below the guide section (29a). The shutter member (14) having closed the opening (13) can guide the inner end of the card (2) to the card support section (50b) of the positioning member (50). The card reader adapted to transport the card in the transverse direction thereof enables the shutter member, which closes the opening, to move smoothly even if the opening for allowing the magnetic head to pass therethrough is formed in a transport path.
