Card processor

Abstract

A card processor of the present invention has: an insertion slot, into which a card is inserted; a carriage path, along which the card inserted from the insertion slot is carried; a stock portion, which is installed on a downstream side of the carriage path and capable of housing inserted cards in a stacked state; and a housing drive mechanism, which houses a card into the stock portion, wherein the housing drive mechanism includes an oscillating member having a first projecting/withdrawing portion which is located on the insertion slot side and capable of projecting and withdrawing from the carriage path and a second projecting/withdrawing portion which is located on the stock portion side and capable of projecting and withdrawing from the carriage path, the oscillating member being oscillatably supported via a shaft, and the second projecting/withdrawing portion of the oscillating member presses up the cards housed in the stock portion when the card inserted from the insertion slot presses down the first projecting/withdrawing portion of the oscillating member.

1 . A card processor comprising:
 an insertion slot, into which a card is inserted;   a carriage path, along which the card inserted from said insertion slot is carried;   a stock portion, which is installed on a downstream side of said carriage path and capable of housing inserted cards in a stacked state; and   a housing drive mechanism, which houses a card into said stock portion,   wherein   said housing drive mechanism includes an oscillating member having a first projecting/withdrawing portion which is located on said insertion slot side and capable of projecting and withdrawing from said carriage path and a second projecting/withdrawing portion which is located on said stock portion side and capable of projecting and withdrawing from said carriage path, said oscillating member being oscillatably supported via a shaft, and   said second projecting/withdrawing portion of said oscillating member presses up the cards housed in said stock portion when the card inserted from said insertion slot presses down said first projecting/withdrawing portion of said oscillating member.   
     
     
         2 . The card processor according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein   an inclined face gradually rising toward a card carrying direction is formed on said first projecting/withdrawing portion.   
     
     
         3 . The card processor according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein   a roller is rotatably supported in said first projecting/withdrawing portion so that the card being carried comes in sliding contact with said roller.   
     
     
         4 . The card processor according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein   a small diameter portion is formed on said roller so that part of the surface of the card being carried does not come into contact with said roller.
