ABSTRACT:
A potable IC card reader for retrieving information from an IC card incorporating a semiconductor memory device and displaying at least part of retrieved information, the portable IC card reader being portable in a clothes pocket, a bag or the like, comprising a housing having a display portion provided on a part of the housing for displaying the at least part of retrieved information and incorporating a controller, the housing further having, at least at a part of the surface thereof, an IC card insert port through which the IC card is inserted and an IC card accommodating unit extending straight from the IC card insert port to the opposite side thereof, the housing still further having a foreign-matter ejection exit formed by extending the IC card accommodating unit and opening at the opposite side of the integrated-circuit card insert port. The foreign matters are ejected from the IC card accommodating unit by insertion of the IC card, preventing the IC card reader from malfunctioning that may be caused by the foreign matters.
