ABSTRACT:
A magnetic card reading apparatus particularly for an automatic vending machine which is located in a severe environmental condition comprises a main structure and an outer structure. The main structure has a magnetic card accommodation unit adapted to accommodate a magnetic card to a predetermined position and provided with a magnetic card insertion port and a magnetic card accommodation portion communicated with the magnetic card insertion port. A magnetic head is provided for the magnetic card accommodation unit for reading out a magnetic information recorded on the magnetic card held at the predetermined position. An electronic circuit unit is provided for the magnetic card accommodation unit for processing a signal concerning the information read out by and transmitted from the magnetic head. A shutout block member is also provided for the magnetic card accommodation unit for shutting out a foreign material which has invaded through the outer structure and then through the magnetic card accommodation unit thereby to prevent the foreign material from reaching the electronic circuit unit.
