Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the easy gathering of dust, etc., and also to easily discharge the dust, etc., if gathered to the outside by compressing light the air in an IC card reader/writer main body and then discharging the compressed air to the outside concurrently with opening a door when an IC card is inserted. SOLUTION: An IC card reader/writer has a reader/writer main body 10 and an air pump 60 which is connected to the main body 10 via a pipe 62. A card reception part 20 includes a space 40 where an IC card 100 is received, and a door 30 is supported at a card slit 22 in a free lockable way via a hinge 32. The pump 60 is linked to the space 40 via a pipe 62 to supply the compressed air of a low level to the space 40 via the pipe 62. Then the tip of the card 100 is put into the slit 22, and the compresses air flows out of the space 40 through the slit 22 as an air flow A when the door 30 is opened.
