Abstract: A card reader includes a pulling-out prevention member turnable between a closing position where a card moving passage is closed and an open position and preventing pulling-out of a card having been inserted into a card reader at the closing position. The pulling-out prevention member is provided with a main body member and a card abutting member which closes the card moving passage when the pulling-out prevention member is located at the closing position. A rear end of the card abutting member is capable of contacting with a front end of the card having been inserted into the card reader when the pulling-out prevention member is located at the closing position. The main body member of the pulling-out prevention member is formed of resin, and the card abutting member is formed of material having a strength higher than a strength of the resin.

Abstract: A card reader may include a card conveying mechanism; a guide; a magnetic head; a positioning member to position the card relative to the magnetic head; and a shutter. The positioning member may include a card abutting part to abut a third direction end of the card; and a card support part to contact a first direction side of the card. A distance between the card abutting part and a third direction end of the guide is shorter than a width in the short-side direction of the card. When the shutter has closed, a fourth direction end of the shutter is disposed on a first direction side of the guide. When the shutter has opened the opening, the shutter is disposed on the first direction side of the guide. The third direction end of the card may be guided to the card support part by the shutter.

Abstract: A card reader may include a card holder and a card ejection mechanism for moving the card holder. The card ejection mechanism includes a connection arm connecting the main body frame with the card holder, a solenoid for bending the connection arm, and an arm urging member urging the connection arm. When the solenoid is switched to a non-energized state, the solenoid pushes the connection arm and the connection arm is changed from an extended posture to a bent posture. The connection arm in the extended posture is restricted from bending to an opposite side to the bent posture side and, in a state that the connection arm is in the extended posture, the arm urging member applies an urging force to the connection arm so that the connection arm is bent to an opposite side to the side of the bent posture.

Abstract: A card reader may include a card holder structured to hold a card, a main body frame movably holding the card holder, and a card ejection mechanism. The card ejection mechanism includes a connection arm connecting the main body frame with the card holder, a solenoid to bend the connection arm, and an arm urging member urging the connection arm. When the solenoid is switched to a non-energized state, the connection arm changes from an extended posture to an intermediate posture to a bent posture. The arm urging member applies an urging force to the connection arm so as to bend to the bent posture side in a state that the connection arm is in the intermediate posture. Further, the connection arm pushes the plunger when the connection arm is changed from the bent posture to the extended posture.
