ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for continuously processing a plurality of optical cards in succession including a magazine having a plurality of racks on which a plurality of optical cards are placed, a table on which the magazine is detachably set, and a main body which supports the magazine movably up and down. On a side wall of the table is secured a rack extending vertically and a pinion is engaged with the rack. By driving the pinion, the table and thus the magazine is moved up and down so that a desired optical card can be indexed at a card discharging position. A driving roller is selectively caused to contact a side edge of the desired optical card through a window, and the optical card can be discharged from the magazine by rotating the driving roller. There is further provided a driving mechanism for feeding the optical card discharged from the magazine into an optical card utilizing device. After the optical card has been processed in the utilizing device, the optical card can be inserted into the magazine. Since the driving mechanisms for discharging and inserting the optical card out of and into the magazine are provided outside the magazine, the overall apparatus can be simplified and reduced in size.
