いる。Fig. 2.3 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which the reference numeral 2 indicates a plane part 2a in the negative half, and a cross section "2a" in the other half.
The frame is formed in a U-shape and has an overhang part 2b, and contact pins 4a and 4 are provided on the overhang part 2b.
A contact head 4 with a compression spring 4b interposed with a facing downward and a card holder (to be described later) form an electric path with a conductive member 14 attached to a member 10 to detect the insertion of an IC card. A switch 6 for detecting card attachment is provided, and a locking tool 8 biased toward the tip by a spring 8a is attached to the rear end of the flat portion 2a. Reference numeral 10 denotes the above-mentioned card holder, which has a flat plate with a U-shaped cross section and a stopper 10a, and a plate spring 12 is interposed between it and the frame member 2, and the stopper lOa is normally in place. It is rotatably attached to the frame member 2 so as to be on the lower side.

位置づれや瞬間的な接触不良をおこすことがない。In this embodiment, with the contacts of the IC card facing upward, the tip of the IC card is moved obliquely downward along the card holder 10 and inserted until it abuts against the stopper 10a. In this state, when the rear end of the IC card is pushed downward with a finger, the card holder of the IC card rotates together with the member 10, and the rear end of the IC card comes into contact with the locking tool 8. Furthermore, the locking tool 8
When pushed downward against the reaction force, the rear end is locked as shown in Fig. 4, and at the same time, the contact pins 4a, 4a, etc. come into contact with the contacts of the IC card, and the contact formation is detected. When the conductive member 14 comes into contact with the switch 6, it is detected that the card has been inserted, and information is exchanged with a computer (not shown). At this time, the IC card is
Since the stopper of the receiving member 10 is pressed by the reaction force of the locking tool 3, the terminal (d) and the contact pins 4a, 4a
The positional relationship between the two is maintained constant, and at the same time, there is no possibility of misalignment or instantaneous contact failure due to vibration or the like.

When the card is placed in the accommodating portion 18 of the base 16, the IC card is positioned at a specified position, and the contacts 2 (FIG. 1) come into contact with the contact pins 20a, 20a, . . . . In this state, when the lid 24 is closed, the suppression plate 3o comes into pressure contact with the top surface of the card and is locked by the latches 11 and 22. This turns on the limit switch 32, making it possible to exchange information with a computer (not shown). When the engagement of the locking tool 22 is released when the information exchange is completed, the lid 24 opens and the IC card can be removed.
