図1は、本発明の実施の形態にかかるカードリーダ1の概略構成を側面から説明するための図である。
図2は、図1に示すカード挿入部5の斜視図である。図3は、図2に示すカード挿入部5から上ベゼル11等を取り外した状態を示す斜視図である。図4は、図2に示すカード挿入部5の内部の構成を説明するための図である。図5は、図3に示すシャッター部材本体21を示す図であり、(A)は平面図、(B)は正面図、(C)は底面図、(D)は側面図、(E)は(B)のE-E断面を示す断面図である。
このローラ保持部21cには、ローラ22が挿入されており、ローラ22は、ローラ保持部21cに回転可能に保持されている。
また、この状態では、斜面部21bは、カード搬送路13の下面から若干浮いた状態となっている。さらに、この状態では、ローラ22の下端側は、下ベゼル12の上面に形成された凹部(図示省略)の中に配置されており、ローラ22の下端側は、カード搬送路13の下面よりも下側に配置されている。また、この状態では、カード搬送路13のY方向両端側は、斜面部21bによって閉鎖されている。
図6は、図3に示すシャッター機構17のカード挿入時の動作を説明するための図であり、(A)はカード挿入開始時の状態を示す図、(B)はカード挿入中の状態を示す図である。図7は、図3に示すシャッター機構17のカード排出時の動作を説明するための図であり、(A)はカード排出開始時の状態を示す図、(B)はカード排出中の状態を示す図である。
以上説明したように、本形態では、斜面部21bおよびローラ22にカード2の先端部が当接すると、閉鎖部21aが軸部21fを中心に回動してカード搬送路13を開放する。そのため、カード搬送路13を開閉する駆動源が不要となり、シャッター機構17の構成を簡素化できる。
しかしながら、本形態では、閉鎖部21aがシャッター部材本体21のX方向の略中心位置に形成され、軸部21fがシャッター部材本体21の奥端側に形成されている。そのため、カード搬送路13に異物が挿入された際の異物と閉鎖部21aとの接触部分と、軸部21fとのZ方向における距離を短くすることができる。特に本形態では、Z方向におけるカード搬送路13の中心と軸部21fの径方向中心とが、Z方向で略一致するように軸部21fが形成されている。したがって、カード搬送路13を閉鎖する閉鎖部21aに異
物が接触した際に、シャッター部材20には、軸部21fに向かう圧縮力が生じる。その結果、本形態では、たとえば、特許文献1に記載されたシャッター機構と比較して、簡易な構成で、異物の挿入を防止するために必要なシャッター機構17の強度を高めることができる。
上述した形態は、本発明の好適な形態の一例ではあるが、これに限定されるものではなく本発明の要旨を変更しない範囲において種々変形実施が可能である。
このように構成するとカード2の誤挿入を確実に防止することが可能になる。
