Retreat from the processing path 5.

  Next, the card collecting operation in the card processing apparatus 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In advance, the second motor 56 is driven in the reverse direction, the claw member 60 is moved in the direction of arrow B to be positioned in the card processing unit 23, the solenoid 61 is operated, and the claws 60a and 60b of the claw member 60 are moved to the card processing path. Evacuate from 5. When the card processing by the antenna substrate 23 is completed in the card processing passage 5 and it becomes necessary to collect the processed card PA in the card collecting unit 25, the energization of the solenoid 61 is cut off to make it inoperative. Thus, the claws 60a and 60b of the claw member 60 are advanced into the card processing passage 5, and the claw 60b is engaged with the rear end of the card P as shown in FIG.

  When the second motor 56 is driven in the forward direction, the screw rod 57 rotates in the forward direction, so that the nut member 58 moves in the arrow A direction, and the claw member 60 also moves in the same direction along with this movement. Accordingly, since the card P having the claw 60a of the claw member 60 engaged with the rear end is conveyed in the direction of the arrow A in the card processing passage 5, the front end of the card P is the card as shown in FIG.

The second shaft 47 moves from the second guide portion 42b to the third guide portion 42c. Therefore, since the moving element 45 moves upward and is positioned at the retracted position where the engagement between the card pressing lever 52 and the card PA to be collected is released, the moving element 45 is moved in the direction of arrow B by the tensile force of the tension coil spring 50. As shown in FIG. 4B, the card push-down lever 52 rides on the card PA to be collected.

  When the claw member 60 is positioned in the card collecting unit 25, the card PA to be collected is collected between the uppermost card PB and the bottom 36 of the guide case 34, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the moving element 45 moves in the direction of arrow B by the tensile force of the tension coil spring 50 and returns to the initial position, and the card pressing levers 52 and 52 are moved from the notch 37 and the window 38 of the guide case 34 to the guide case 34. It protrudes downward and faces the card processing path 5 at a position close to the card collection unit 25.

Next, an operation for issuing a card from the card collection unit 25 to the card processing unit 23 will be described.
When the second motor 56 is driven in the reverse direction from the state shown in FIG. 6A and the screw rod 57 is rotated in the reverse direction, the claw member 60 moves in the arrow B direction, and the claw 60a of the claw member 60 is moved. Engages with the rear end of the card PA at the uppermost position of the cards P loaded in the card collecting unit 25. When the claw member 60 is further moved in the arrow B direction from this state, the uppermost card PA is also conveyed in the arrow B direction, and the leading end of the card PA comes into contact with the inclined portion 52 b of the card pressing lever 52.

  Further, when the claw member 60 is moved in the arrow B direction and the card pressing lever 52 is pressed in the arrow B direction by the card PA, a component force is generated that rotates the card pressing lever 52 in the counterclockwise direction by the inclined portion 52b. Accordingly, the card pressing lever 52 rotates counterclockwise against the torsional moment of the torsion coil spring 53 by the issued card PA, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In order to evacuate, the card PA is conveyed to the card processing unit 23 in the card processing path 5.

  Thus, by providing the card pressing lever 52 with the inclined portion 52b, the card pressing lever 52 can be retracted directly from the card processing path 5 by the card PA issuing the card pressing lever 52, so that the card pressing lever 52 is retracted. Since the driving means is not required, the number of parts can be reduced, the structure can be simplified, and malfunction can be prevented. Further, since the card pressing lever 52 is returned to the initial position by the tension coil spring 50, the driving means for returning is unnecessary, so that the number of parts can be reduced and the structure can be simplified. And malfunction can be prevented.

  Further, since the card P is transported between the card processing unit 23 and the card collection unit 25 by the claw member 60 provided with the claw 60a, 60b that engages with the rear end and the front end of the card P, the structure is simplified. However, it can be transported reliably. Further, when the card P is transported between the card processing unit 23 and the card insertion slot 3 by the first transport means, the claws 60a and 60b of the claw member 60 are retracted from the card processing passage 5, so that the card Since the processing unit 23 processes the card P, it does not hinder the card transport by the first transport means.
