In the figure, 1 is a used credit card made of plastic (hereinafter simply referred to as a card), the dimensions of the card are defined by international standards, and the long side 2 is 85.5998 ± 0.127 mm, short. The side 3 is 53.975 ± 0.051 mm and the thickness is 0.762 ± 0.037 mm.

Further, it is permitted to provide one magnetic recording area 4 or two magnetic recording areas 4 and 5 in parallel with the long side 2 of this card. The area of the magnetic recording area 4 is defined by areas within a line parallel to the long side 2 and drawn in parallel from the position 5.54 mm inside and 12.45 mm inside the long side 2. . As for the magnetic recording area 5, the magnetic recording area is defined similarly to the above. Whether to use one or both of the magnetic recording areas 4 and 5 depends on the transaction contents between the applicant, the credit card company, and the financial institution, and therefore all credit cards of each type are used. In order to ensure that the magnetic recording areas 4 and 5 are used, it is necessary to penetrate both magnetic recording areas 4 and 5 with punch holes. That is, it is necessary to form punch holes (through holes) in a part of the strip-shaped region between 41.5 mm and 48.5 mm on both sides of the center line L of the card.

Reference numeral 6 is a punch hole penetrating the magnetic recording area 4, and 7 is a punch hole penetrating the magnetic recording area 5.

This enables punch holes of various sizes and shapes to be punched.

Reference numeral 25 is a positioning guide provided on the lower jaw 24 so as to be able to extend and contract in the direction of arrow A, and is configured to match the length of the short side 3 of the card when extended to the maximum. . Holes 26 for punching holes are provided at positions corresponding to the magnetic recording area. Reference numeral 27 is a punching portion for punching a magnetic recording punch hole provided in the upper case 20 corresponding to the positioning guide 25. The punching portion 27 is made of a plate-shaped member that is expandable and contractible, and both ends thereof are provided with blades 28 for punching punch holes. When the perforation 27 is maximally stretched, the blade 28 corresponds to the hole 26. Further, the blade 28 can be projected from the lower surface of the perforated portion 27 or stored in the perforated portion 27 as needed. When the punch hole need not be perforated, the blade 28 should be stored. You can Therefore, when the card 1 is inserted along the guide 25 in the direction of the arrow B, the positions for punching the punch holes for the hanging parts and the punch holes for punching the magnetic recording area are determined respectively, and the tip portion of the upper case 20 is determined. If 23 is strongly pushed down from above with a palm, a rectangular punch hole 8 can be punched.
