ABSTRACT:
A card reader has a card reader main unit, a magnetic head which is situated on the card reader main unit and reads contents recorded in a card, a magnetic head holding device for swingably holding the magnetic head, and a partition wall which prevents foreign materials from invading the card reader main unit. The partition wall has an opening for the holding device through which the magnetic head holding device is inserted. Invasion preventing device is attached to the opening for the holding device, and has an opening for the magnetic head through which the magnetic head is inserted and which is in close contact with the periphery of the magnetic head. Only a card data reading portion of the magnetic head is allowed to protrude through the opening to the card insertion face of the card reader main unit, whereby invasion of foreign materials from the outside is prevented.
