- the lever member 9 is formed in the shape of an elongated bar in which the card contact portion 9b, the rotation center portion 9a, and the restriction pin contact portion 9c are arranged in this order in the front-rear direction. Therefore, even when the restriction pin 11 is in contact with the contact surface 9j of the restriction pin contact portion 9c and the rotation of the lever member 9 is restricted, the rotation center portion 9a and the card contact portion 9b And the card 2 can be pulled out. Therefore, even when the user tries to pull out the card 2 when the rotation of the lever member 9 is restricted, it is possible to prevent the lever member 9 and the restriction pin 11 from being excessively stressed. Thus, damage to the lever member 9 and the regulation pin 11 can be prevented.
- the contact surface 9h with which the rear end of the card 2 to be pulled out contacts is a planar orthogonal surface that is substantially orthogonal to the X direction.
- the contact surface 9h with which the rear end of the card 2 to be pulled out contacts is a flat inclined surface that gently slopes downward toward the front side. May be.
- the lever member 9 is biased to the closed position by the torsion coil spring 10.
- the lever member 9 may be biased to the closed position by another spring member such as a compression coil spring, a tension coil spring, or a leaf spring.
- the card reader 1 when the solenoid 12 is driven, the plunger 12a is pulled toward the front side, and the restriction pin 11 is disposed at a position where it can come into contact with the contact surface 9j of the restriction pin contact portion 9c.
- the card reader 1 when the solenoid 12 is driven, the card reader 1 is configured such that when the solenoid 12 is driven, the plunger 12a is pulled to the rear side, and the restriction pin 11 is disposed at a position where the plunger 12a can contact the contact surface 9j. Also good.
- the card reader 1 may be configured such that when the solenoid 12 is driven, the plunger 12a moves in the left-right direction, and the restriction pin 11 is disposed at a position where the plunger 12a can contact the contact surface 9j.
- the regulation pin 11 is arranged on the back end side, and the rotation of the lever member 9 is regulated on the back end side.
- the restriction pin 11 may be disposed on the front end side, and the rotation of the lever member 9 may be restricted on the front end side.
- the regulation pin contact portion 9c may not be formed on the lever member 9.
- the lever member 9 formed with the longitudinal direction as the longitudinal direction rotates with the lateral direction as the axial direction.
- a lever member formed with the left-right direction as the longitudinal direction may rotate with the front-rear direction as the axial direction.
- the first sensor 14 is an optical sensor, but the first sensor 14 may be a mechanical sensor such as a microswitch.
- the card reader 1 includes the magnetic head 3 and the IC contact 4, but the card reader 1 may include only one of the magnetic head 3 or the IC contact 4.
- the IC chip may not be fixed to the card 2.
- the card reader 1 is a manual type, but the configuration of the present invention can also be applied to a card reader having an automatic transport mechanism for the card 2.

図1は、本発明の実施の形態にかかるカードリーダ1の平面図である。図2は、図1に示すカードリーダ1の概略構成を側面から説明するための図である。
図3(A)は、図1に示すカードリーダ1へカード2を挿入しているときの状態を側面から説明するための図であり、図3(B)は、図1に示すカードリーダ1へのカード2の挿入が完了した状態を側面から説明するための図である。図4(A)は、図1に示すレバー部材9の平面図であり、図4(B)は、図1に示すレバー部材9の側面図である。
この当接面9jは、奥側に向かうにしたがって上方向へ緩やかに傾斜する傾斜面となっている。
図5(A)は、図1に示す規制ピン11が回動可能位置にあるときの状態を示す平面図であり、図5(B)は、図1に示す規制ピン11が回動規制位置にあるときの状態を示す平面図である。
このガイド溝31aの高さ(上下方向の幅)は、規制ピン11の径よりもわずかに大きくなっている。
以上のように構成されたカードリーダ1では、図2に示すように、カード2が挿入されていないときには、ネジリコイルバネ10の付勢力で、レバー部材9はカード移動路6の手前端側を閉鎖している。この状態では、圧縮コイルバネ29の付勢力でプランジャ12aが奥側に突出しており、レバー部材9は回動可能となっている。また、この状態では、接点保持部材22は、引張りコイルバネ23によって手前側に付勢されており、IC接点4は、カード移動路6の上方に配置されている。なお、この状態では、第1センサ14および第3センサ16はオン状態となっており、第2センサ15はオフ状態となっている。
なお、プランジャ12aが手前側に引かれると、第3センサ16はオフ状態となる。
以上説明したように、本形態では、ネジリコイルバネ10の付勢力を利用してレバー部材9でカード移動路6を閉鎖し、カード移動路6を閉鎖しているレバー部材9の回動を規制ピン11で規制するとともに、ソレノイド12で規制ピン11を移動させている。そのため、ソレノイド12の動力でレバー部材9を回動させる必要がなく、また、ソレノイド12の動力でレバー部材9がカード移動路6を閉鎖した状態を維持する必要がない。したがって、本形態では、出力の小さなソレノイド12を使用してもカード2の引抜きを防止することができ、動作時のソレノイド12に多くの電流を流す必要がなくなる。その結果、本形態では、省電力化を図ることができる。また、省電力化を図ることができるため、USB等のケーブルから供給された電力を使用し、カードリーダ1内の各種機器を動作させるいわゆるバスパワーを採用することが可能になる。
そのため、回動規制位置および回動可能位置へ規制ピン11を円滑に移動させることができる。
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。
