って、プリペイドカード１は幅方向の対称軸線４を基準
として非対称となる。'' The bipedal prepaid card 1 has a rectangular shape, and an arc-shaped recess 11 is integrally provided on one short side. As a result, the prepaid card 1 becomes asymmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry 4 in the width direction.
上記カートリッジ２はプリペイドカードｌの輪郭形状と
同一の内側断面形状を有し、内側面のプリペイドカード
１の凹部１１と対応する位置に凹部１１に適合する円弧
形状の凸部２１を設けである。The cartridge 2 has an inner cross-sectional shape that is the same as the outline of the prepaid card 1, and is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 21 that fits the recess 11 at a position corresponding to the recess 11 of the prepaid card 1 on the inner surface.

となる。FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the prepaid card 1 is integrally provided with an arc-shaped convex portion 12 on one short side. As a result, the prepaid card 1 becomes asymmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry 4 in the width direction.
またカートリッジ２は、内側面のプリペイドカード１の
凸部１２と対応する位置に凸部１２に適合する円弧形状

例と同様にプリペイドカードｌをカートリッジ２に収納
するためには凸部１２と凹部２２の位置を合わせなけれ
ばならず、必然的にプリペイドカード１の向きが正しく
定まることとなる。Further, the cartridge 2 is provided with an arc-shaped recess 22 that fits the projection 12 on the inner surface at a position corresponding to the projection 12 of the prepaid card 1. As a result, in order to store the prepaid card l in the cartridge 2, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. It happens.
第３図は本発明の＄３実施例を示す斜視図である。FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a $3 embodiment of the present invention.
本実施例において、プリペイドカードｌは角の１つを大

てプリペイドカード１は幅方向の対称軸線を基準として
も長平方向の対称軸線を基準としても非対称となる。In this embodiment, the prepaid card 1 has one of its corners cut out diagonally, forming a substantially pentagonal shape.Therefore, the prepaid card 1 has a substantially pentagonal shape with respect to the axis of symmetry in the width direction as well as the axis of symmetry in the elongated direction as a reference. is also asymmetrical.
カートリッジ２は、内側形状をプリペイドカード１の輪
郭形状に適合する略５角形に形成しである。これによっ
て、プリペイドカードｌをカートリッジ２に収納する際
必然的にプリペイドカードｌの向きが正しく定まること
となる。The cartridge 2 has an approximately pentagonal inner shape that matches the outline of the prepaid card 1. As a result, when storing the prepaid card l in the cartridge 2, the orientation of the prepaid card l is inevitably determined correctly.
なお、第１実施例において、凹部１１は必ずしも一方の

２１が設けられる。In the first embodiment, the recess 11 does not necessarily need to be provided on one short side, and if it is asymmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry 4 in the width direction of the prepaid card 1 or the axis of symmetry perpendicular thereto, the recess 11 is not necessarily provided on one short side. The recesses may be provided anywhere on the edge of the card l, and the shape and number of the recesses are also arbitrary. In this case, the cartridge 2 is provided with protrusions 21 each having a shape that matches the recesses 11 at positions corresponding to the recesses 11.
また、これらは第２実施例についても同様であり、凸部
１２の位置、形状、数、及びそれに対応する凹部２２の
位置、形状、数は任意である。Further, the same applies to the second embodiment, and the position, shape, and number of the convex portions 12 and the position, shape, and number of the corresponding concave portions 22 are arbitrary.
また、第３実施例において、角を切欠く位置や大きさは
任意でよく、斜めに切欠く代わりに曲率半径の大きい丸
みをもたせてもよい。Further, in the third embodiment, the position and size of the corner notch may be arbitrary, and the corner may be rounded with a large radius of curvature instead of being cut diagonally.
さらに、プリペイドカード１の輪郭形状及びカートリッ
ジ２の内側形状は、プリペイドカードｌの幅方向の対称
軸線４又はこれに直交する対称軸線を基準として非対称
となるものであれば何でもよく、実施例に示したように
凸部又は凹部を設けるものや、角の一つを切欠いたもの
に限られない。Further, the outline shape of the prepaid card 1 and the inner shape of the cartridge 2 may be any shape as long as they are asymmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry 4 in the width direction of the prepaid card l or the axis of symmetry perpendicular thereto, and are shown in the examples. The present invention is not limited to having a convex portion or a concave portion as shown above, or having one corner cut out.
なお、プリペイドカードｌの形状を幅方向の対称軸線４

違えることを防止できる。Note that the shape of the prepaid card l is aligned with the axis of symmetry in the width direction 4.
Alternatively, by making it asymmetric with respect to the axis of symmetry perpendicular to this axis, the orientation of the prepaid card 1 can be confirmed by the touch, and the orientation can also be confirmed when inserting the prepaid card l into a reader/writer device (not shown). You can avoid making mistakes.
