PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a compact card collecting mechanism with a simple structure without alteration of a card reader/writer. SOLUTION: A rotator 20 is arranged between a card insertion and extraction slot 31 of the card reader/writer 30 and an opening part 11 for card insertion and extraction formed on the front panel 10 of the device. The rotating shaft of the rotator 20 crosses orthogonally with a carrying path for a card connecting the slot 31 and the part 11 and is also supported horizontally. A slit-shaped through hole 21 to be the carrying path for a card is formed in the rotator 20, and a card recovery container 40 is arranged under the rotator 20. In the case of collecting a card, the rotator 20 is turned so as to make the open direction of the hole 21 almost vertical to let the card fall into the container 40. |
