The purpose of the present invention is to provide a card conveying mechanism capable of conveying a card in a horizontal direction and allowing for less space in a higher-level apparatus to be taken up even if the card conveying mechanism is capable of making the card parallel to the horizontal direction or tilting the card relative to the horizontal direction. The card conveying mechanism (10) is provided with a card holder (15, 16) that has a draw and feed mechanism (22) for drawing and feeding a card (2) and temporarily holds the card (2) therein, a draw and feed driving mechanism (23) for driving the draw and feed mechanism (22), a carriage (17) where the card holder (15, 16) is mounted, a carriage driving mechanism (18) for moving the carriage (17) linearly in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a direction in which the card (2) is drawn into the card holder (15, 16), and a rotating mechanism (24) for rotating the card holder (15, 16) with respect to the carriage (17) around an axis in which the carriage (17) moves. |
