Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration of a cleaning performance due to dust or the like stuck on the pad face of a cleaning pad by removing the dust or the like moved from a card-shaped recording medium face on the pad face of the cleaning pad, by a cleaning medium provided on a cleaner board. CONSTITUTION:A card C is loaded on a card loading board 2. Then, a pad face 4a of a cleaning(Cl) pad 5 is pressed and slided on the surface of the card C, and the dust or the like stuck on the surface of the card C is fixed to the pad face 4a and removed. When the dust or the like removed from the card C is stuck to the face 4a and is not certainly fixed to the face 4a, the fault occurs in the case of Cl the next card C. Therefore, the face 4a is pressed and moved on a brush 6 for cleaning after or before Cl the card C, in order to remove the dust or the like which is not certainly fixed to the face 4a. Thus, the dust or the like do not drop on the card face at the time of Cl the next card face, so that the deterioration of a Cl effect can be prevented, and the Cl performance of the face 4a can be continued satisfactory.

Description

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

[Prior Art] Conventionally, fingerprints attached to the surface of a card-shaped information recording medium,
As a cleaning means for removing oil, dust, etc., a card-shaped information recording medium is placed on a cleaner stand, and the cleaning pad is pressed and slid over the medium surface to remove dust, etc. attached to the medium surface. The method is known.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In this leaning method, dust, etc. on a card-shaped recording medium is removed by fixing it to the surface of the cleaning pad. If there is a large amount of dust attached, the dust will not firmly adhere to the cleaning pad surface, so when cleaning the next media surface, the dust will fall onto the media surface and reduce the cleaning effect. It has the disadvantage of lowering Further, since dust and the like are successively stuck to the pad surface of the cleaning pad, there is also the problem that the cleaning performance of the pad surface gradually deteriorates.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve such conventional drawbacks by removing dust and the like that do not reliably adhere to the cleaning pad surface, thereby preventing a decrease in the cleaning effect and maintaining the cleaning performance of the cleaning pad surface for a long time. The purpose of this invention is to provide a card cleaner that makes it easier to use.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the card cleaner according to the present invention includes a Knona stand and a cleaning pad for removing dust and the like attached to the surface of a card-shaped information recording medium. The card cleaner is characterized in that the cleaner stand is provided with cleaning means for removing dust and the like adhering to the pad surface of the cleaning pad.

``Operation: The card cleaner having the above-mentioned configuration uses a cleaning means installed on the cleaner stand to remove dust transferred from the surface of the card-shaped recording medium onto the pad surface of the cleaning pad, and removes dust and the like transferred from the surface of the card-shaped recording medium onto the pad surface of the cleaning pad. This prevents deterioration in cleaning performance caused by such factors.

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

1 and 2 show a first embodiment, in which a card placement stand 2 for placing a card C is provided on the cleaner stand l, and a concave pad formed on the cleaner stand 1. A cleaning pad 5 to which a cleaning pad section 4 is attached is held in the holding section 3 with the pad surface 4a facing inward. Further, as a means for cleaning the cleaning pad section 4, a cleaning brush 6 is installed near the card mounting table 2 so as to face upward.

When cleaning card C, use card mounting stand 2.
By placing the card C on top of the card C and sliding the pad surface 4a of the cleaning pad 5 on the surface thereof while pressing the pad surface 4a, dust etc. adhering to the surface of the card C can be removed from the pad surface 4a.
It sticks to and is removed. In this way, the dust etc. removed from the card C adheres to the pad surface 4a, so if this dust etc. is not firmly fixed on the pad surface 4a, it may become an obstacle when cleaning the next card C. What happens is as described above.

Therefore, after cleaning the card C or before cleaning the next card surface, by moving the pad surface 4a while pressing it against the cleaning brush 6, it is possible to remove dust, etc. that is not firmly fixed to the pad surface 4a. can be removed. This prevents dust from falling onto the card surface when cleaning the next card surface.
It is possible to prevent deterioration of the cleaning effect and maintain good cleaning performance of the pad surface 4a.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment, in which a cleaning brush 6 is provided in a space on the back side of the cleaner table 1.

When the cleaning brush 6 is provided on the top surface of the cleaner table 1 as in the previous embodiment, dust and the like will not be scattered on the card mounting table 2 when cleaning the pad surface 4a of the cleaning pad section 4. The next card C may fall.
When the card C is placed on the card placement stand 2, there is a risk that dust etc. may adhere to the back side of the card C. However, if the cleaning brush 6 is provided on the back side of the cleaner stand 1 as shown in FIG. ,
Such problems can be solved.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment, in which a suction member 7 having adhesive properties, for example, is arranged on the inner surface of the pad holding part 3 of the cleaner table 1 as a cleaning means, and when the cleaning pad 5 is held, the cleaning pad part An example is shown in which the pad surface 4a of No. 4 is arranged so as to be in contact with the suction member 7, and dust etc. adhering to the pad surface is removed by the suction action of the suction member 7.

In this case, if you place multiple suction members 7 one on top of the other and when the suction effect becomes weak, peel off the first sheet on the surface and expose the next new suction member 7 to use. The adsorption capacity of the member 7 can always be kept high.

Incidentally, each of the above-mentioned embodiments uses a cleaning brush 6 as a cleaning means.
Alternatively, although the case is shown in which the suction member 7 is used, both the cleaning brush 6 and the suction member 7 may be used in common, or other cleaning means may be used instead.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the card mounting table according to the present invention uses the cleaning means to remove dust and the like that has been removed from the surface of the card-shaped recording medium and adhered to the cleaning pad portion, so that the next medium surface can be removed. When cleaning the pad, dust and the like on the pad surface will not adhere to the medium surface, and the cleaning effect can be enhanced and the cleaning performance of the cleaning pad section can be maintained for a long time.
