ABSTRACT:
In order to certainly receive a proper IC card having a regular length to a terminal contact position without causing a forcible force to act on an integrated circuit incorporated in the IC card to discharge a wrong card having a length smaller than the regular length, an IC card inserted from a card insertion port is advanced toward a card storage unit of a frame having an opening formed in the lower surface thereof while the IC card is slightly pressed downward, and the leading end of the IC card is brought into contact with a card receiver of a slide member. The slide member is biased by a spring toward the card insertion port and is slid backward when the IC card is pressed deeper with a force stronger than the biasing force of the spring. A pivoting member in contact with a cam portion of the slide member is pivoted toward the card storage unit, and the IC card is pressed from a lower direction thereof to the contact terminal direction, thereby bringing the external terminals of the IC card into contact with the contact terminals, respectively. For this reason, the wrong card having a length smaller than the regular is discharged from the largely opened lower surface of the card storage unit.
