In this way, the first leg portion 31A and the second leg portion 32A can be easily integrally formed.
(positioning and fixing structure of anti-theft brush fitting 3)
Hereinafter, a structure for positioning and fixing the antitheft brush attachment 3 in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction will be described in detail.
Although not shown, in a natural state, the distance between the first leg 31 and the second leg 32 of the anti-theft brush attachment 3 gradually increases from the X2 side toward the X1 side. A hook-shaped first projection 31C projecting toward the Z2 side is formed at the X1 side end of the first leg 31, and a hook-shaped second projection 32C projecting toward the Z1 side is formed at the X1 side end of the second leg 32.
As shown in fig. 3, a groove 11 into which the attachment 3 is inserted and removed is formed in the card conveying path 2 of the card reader 100, and the groove 11 extends from an end of the housing of the card reader 100 on the X2 side to the vicinity of the card insertion port in the X direction. The groove 11 includes a first groove facing the card conveyance path 2 from the Z2 direction side and a second groove facing the card conveyance path 2 from the Z1 direction side.
Further, as shown in fig. 1, the Y-direction dimension of groove portion 11 is formed to be able to accommodate second leg portion 32 of anti-theft brush attachment 3.
When the anti-theft brush attachment 3 is inserted into the housing 1 from the X2 side so that the U-shaped opening faces the card insertion opening, both Y-direction side surfaces of the second leg portion 32 (specifically, the second leg main body) abut against both side surfaces of the groove portion 11, thereby positioning the anti-theft brush attachment 3 with respect to the housing 1 in the Y direction. The first leg portion 31 and the second leg portion 32 are urged by the bottom surfaces of the groove portions 11 facing each other in the Z direction and elastically deformed in a direction to approach each other. At the same time, the first leg portion 31 and the second leg portion 32 generate a restoring force by elastic deformation, and the first protrusion 31C of the first leg portion 31 and the second protrusion 32C of the second leg portion 32 are pressed against the bottom surfaces of the groove portion 11 facing in the Z direction by the restoring force. This enables the first leg 31 and the second leg 32 to be reliably fixed in the Z direction within the housing 1.
As shown in fig. 4, in the groove 11, a step portion 110 is formed on the surface of the second groove on the Z1 side, and the step portion 110 abuts against the X1 side end surface 32C1 of the second projection 32C of the inserted antitheft brush fitting 3. Thus, the anti-theft brush attachment 3 can be positioned and fixed in the X direction.
In addition, when the anti-skimming fitting 3 is inserted into the groove portion 11 as shown in fig. 4, the gap between the first resin portion 31A of the first leg portion 31 and the second resin portion 32A of the second leg portion 32 becomes the minimum gap for passing the card in the card conveying path 2, and the size thereof is 1.2 mm. Wherein, 1.2mm is the size that the inventor of the utility model obtained through many times of experiments only allowed a card to pass through but not allowed a card and steal the range upon range of passing through of brushing ware.
By inserting the anti-swipe accessory 3 into the groove 11 in this manner, the size of the gap in the card conveyance path 2 through which the card passes in the Z direction can be reduced to a size that allows only one card to pass. Therefore, the anti-theft function of the card reader can be enhanced at lower cost.
