ABSTRACT:
A contact member supporting member is pivotably supported to a slide member which abuts on a part of an IC card to be inserted and is moved by the IC card. When the slide member moves, the supporting member also moves. The supporting member is swung in the direction of the IC card by fixed cams. Thus, contact members of the supporting member come into contact with contacts of the IC card. Since the contact member supporting member moves together with the IC card, the contact members do not slide on the surface of the IC card. Therefore, the abrasion of the contact members and the damage of the IC card which are caused by the slide friction between the contact members and the surface of the IC card, and the like can be prevented.
