Reference numeral 4 denotes a notebook-type card slot, and a plurality of card racks 6 are vertically arranged in a facing portion 5 of the card slot 4,
The magnetic cards 1 are inserted and held in the card racks 6 respectively. A band-shaped electromagnet 8 is arranged on the facing surface 7 facing the facing portion 5 so as to face the magnetic stripe 2 of the magnetic card 1 inserted in the card rack 6. The band-shaped electromagnet 8 is formed in a band shape by winding a winding around an outer periphery of a band-shaped magnetic body. In this embodiment, the band-shaped electromagnet 8 is arranged on the facing surface 7, but may be arranged inside the card rack 6 of the facing portion 5. A battery 9, a band-shaped receiving antenna 10 and its receiving circuit 11 are arranged on the facing surface 7, and a switching unit 12 is provided in the receiving circuit 11, and a winding of the electromagnet 8 is provided from the battery 9 via the switching unit 12. Connect to The electromagnet 8, the receiving antenna 10, the receiving circuit 11, and the battery 9 are attached at predetermined positions on the facing surface 7, and a resin film is attached thereon to protect from humidity and physical damage.

Generally, in a card case or a wallet, the return portion 5 is folded back so as to be easily stored. At this time, the magnetic card 1 stored in the card rack 6
The magnetic stripe 2 is placed close to the electromagnet 8 on the facing surface 7. In this embodiment, the electromagnets 8 are arranged on one side (right side) of the return portion 5. By placing them in close proximity, the effect can be enhanced. Normally, when the magnetic card 1 is inserted into the card rack 6, it is inserted while looking at the characters and pictures on the surface of the magnetic card 1 (diamagnetic stripe side), so the position of the magnetic stripe 2 is limited to one side.
A similar effect can be expected even if one row of electromagnets 8 is arranged at that position. If the card case 4 or the wallet containing the magnetic card 1 is lost or stolen, there is a danger that the magnetic card 1 will be used illegally. When the user notices the loss or theft, the mobile phone or public telephone immediately calls the receiving circuit 11 of the card compartment and sends an operation signal, whereby the receiving circuit 11 operates to supply a current to the electromagnet 8,
The electromagnet 8 is excited to magnetize the magnetic stripe 2 of the magnetic card 1 to destroy the memory of the magnetic stripe 2 and render the magnetic card 1 unusable. When the signal of the mobile phone or the public phone is cut off, the receiving circuit 11 is also stopped and the current of the electromagnet 8 is cut off, so that there is no danger that these circuits generate heat.

Since the receiving circuit of the receiving antenna is connected to the unit, if you notice that the magnetic card is lost or stolen, send a signal to the receiving antenna from a mobile phone etc. And the magnetic memory of the magnetic card is damaged and destroyed, thereby preventing improper use damage.
