CARD READER-WRITER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make collectable cards in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction and to make dischargeable the cards outside a card reader-writer at the time of collection with a simple configuration. SOLUTION: A card C loaded from a loading port 3 is taken in up to the read-write position along a conveyer path by rotating a driving pulley and a driven roller 18b of conveying means. In this case, guides 11 and 12 guide the conveyance of the card. When collecting the card C, a control means drives a motor 81 of a collecting means and slides a slider 83 orthogonally with the conveying direction. The slider 83 pushes the card C toward a collecting port 5 and ejects it outside the device. The slider 83 opens a conveying path cover by 8 being in contact with the engage projection of the conveying path cover 8 on the conveying path at the time of sliding. Thus, the contact of the driven roller 18b with the card C is released and the card can be ejected to the collecting port 5 orthogonal to the conveying path.
