Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an IC card from being stucked with dust, water drops and foreign substances, to optionally insert a regulated card and to obtain a field type reader/writer by providing an IC card insertion port with a shutter. CONSTITUTION:The regulated IC card is inserted into an insertion port 1. The recessed part 14 of the card 13 is engaged with the projecting part of a shutter 2 and the projecting part 15 of the card 13 presses the inclined part 17 of the shutter 2. When the inclined part 17 is pressed furthermore, the card 13 gets over the shutter 2. A card with a different shape can not pass the shutter. The shutter 2 is fixed so as to block the insertion port 1 and displays effects for preventing an IC card from being stuck with dust, water drops and foreign substances. When the 2nd shutter is arranged following the 1st shutter, the 2nd shutter can not be opened even when the 1st shutter is opened by a rod or the like.
