Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the soiling of a pad part by shaping a cleaner table so that the cleaning surface does not contact the holding part of a cleaning pad, and the cleaning surface is not exposed to the outside. CONSTITUTION:A card placing table 2 for placing a card C is provided on a cleaner table 1, and a cleaning pad 3 is placed at the end part of the cleaner table 1. A pad part 4 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning pad 3, the pad part 4 is housed in the recessed holding part 5 provided on the cleaner table 1 so it is substantially not exposed to the outside, and the cleaning surface 4a on the surface of the pad part 4 is made to not contact the bottom of the support part 5. Thus, the sticking of dust, etc., on the cleaning surface 4a can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a card cleaner that removes fingerprints, oil, dust, etc. adhering to the surface of a card-shaped information recording medium.

[Prior art] Fingerprints attached to the medium surface of conventional card-shaped information recording media,
A card cleaner that removes oil, dust, etc. is used by placing a card-shaped information recording medium on a cleaner stand and sliding the medium surface while applying pressure with a cleaning pad. There are known methods for removing dust, etc.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this conventional example, the cleaning pad is held on the cleaner stand (at the same time, if the holding part of the cleaner stand is dirty or there is dust, etc., the cleaning pad is not held in that part). There is a drawback that the cleaning surfaces come into contact and dust etc. adhere to them, reducing the cleaning effect.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a card cleaner that prevents dust from adhering to the cleaning surface of a cleaning pad when the cleaning pad is held on a cleaner stand.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the card cleaner according to the present invention includes a cleaner stand and a cleaning pad to remove dust etc. attached to the medium surface of the information recording medium of the card. In the card cleaner, the navigation holding part is provided with means for preventing dust etc. from adhering to the cleaning surface of the cleaning pad when the cleaning pad is placed on the holding part provided on the cleaner stand. It is characterized by:

[Function] The card cleaner having the above-described configuration prevents dirt such as dust from adhering to the cleaning surface when the cleaning pad is held by the holding portion provided on the cleaner stand.

[Example] The present invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway side view, and FIG. 2 is a plan view. A card mounting table 2 for placing a card C is provided on the cleaner table 1, and a cleaning pad 3 is arranged at the end of the cleaner table 1. A pad portion 4 is provided on the lower surface of the cleaning pad 3, and the pad portion 4 is housed in a concave holding portion 5 provided on the cleaner stand 1 without being exposed to the outside. The cleaning surface 4a on the surface does not come into contact with the bottom surface of the holding part 5.

In this configuration, when the cleaning pad 3 is placed on the holding part 5 of the cleaner table 1, there is a gap between the pad part 4 and the bottom part of the holding part 5, so the bat part 4 does not come into contact with the bottom part. Therefore, dust etc. from the bottom of the holding part 5 will not adhere to the pad part 4, and since the pad part 4 is not exposed to the outside, other objects will not accidentally come into contact with the pad part 4. Therefore, there is no risk that the cleaning surface 4a will be soiled.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the card cleaner according to the present invention has a shape in which the holding part of the cleaning pad on the cleaner stand does not come into contact with the cleaning surface, and the cleaning surface is not exposed to the outside, so that the pad part You can always get a stable cleaning effect without getting dirty.
