After fitting one of the two main bodies to the fitting part of the other main body in a direction opposite to the above, at the insertion opening side of the both main bodies, the card reader upper side with a connecting material such as a front panel. When the processing accuracy of the parts of the card reader upper body 21 and the card reader lower body 22 is not good because the body 21 and the card reader lower body 22 are fitted together and the locking portions are tightened and fixed with screws or the like. In addition, when the fitting of the two main bodies in the IC card transport direction is incomplete,
The position of both the main body is displaced, the fitting is incomplete,
An IC card 1 incorporated in one of the two main bodies, a conveyor belt 3 attached to a pulley 10 for conveying, and a space between a card pressing roller attached to the other main body of the both main bodies is too wide. Or it becomes too narrow. Since there is no mechanism for adjusting this interval, an appropriate amount of pressing pressure for carrying the IC card 1 cannot be obtained, the IC card 1 cannot be carried smoothly, and there is a problem that the reading of the card is affected. . This effect was particularly remarkable when the warped IC card 1 was conveyed.
