ABSTRACT:
A card reader includes a pad-roller supporting mechanism having a pad roller block for supporting a plurality of pad rollers for transporting a card inserted into a card traveling passage in cooperation with a plurality of drive rollers supported by a main-body block. The pad roller block is pivotally supported by the main-body block about pivotal shafts provided in parallel with the card traveling passage so as to be openable and capable of causing each of the pad rollers to come into contact with and move away from each of the drive rollers. A spring member is disposed on the main-body block and a pressing plate supported by the pad roller block and the spring member between an operating region and a nonoperating region of the spring member so as to be capable of being engaged with or disengaged from the pad roller block and the spring member, for imparting to the pad roller block a rotating urging force in a direction in which the pad rollers approaches the drive rollers.
