<p>PURPOSE:To obtain a compact and highly reliable IC card reader/writer by using a means which detects the thickness of an IC card and a contact mechanism which recognizes the insertion of the IC card with the output of the detecting means and secured a touch between a contact point and the IC card. CONSTITUTION:A means is prepared to detect the thickness of an IC card 7 together with a contact mechanism which recognizes the insertion of the card 7 with the output of the detecting means and secures a touch between a contact point and the card 7. When the card 7 is inserted, a movable arm end 25 is pushed up and a contact spring 21 touches the terminal part of the card 7. A contact spring frame 22 consists of two movable parts and therefore the height covering a bottom plate 28 through the frame 22 is reduced. Thus the thickness of the contact mechanism is reduced. As a result, a compact and highly reliable IC card reader/writer is obtained.</p> |
