Zusammenfassung:To provide a card insertion unit configured to prevent different colors of light from being mixed even when light sources which emit different colors are arranged around a card insertion slot.SOLUTION: A card insertion unit 3 includes: a plurality of light sources 10 which are arranged so as to surround a card insertion slot 2 with light emitting parts facing an X2 direction when seen from an X1 direction, and emit multiple colors, respectively; a transparent cover member 6 which is provided with the card insertion slot 2 and overlaps the plurality of light sources 10 from the X2 direction; and a reflection member 11 which is arranged between the plurality of light sources 10 and the card insertion slot 2 and reflects the light to travel from the plurality of light sources 10 toward the card insertion slot 2. Since the light to travel from the plurality of light sources 10 toward the card insertion slot 2 is reflected by the reflection member 11, the light does not leak to the inside of the card insertion slot 2, thereby preventing different colors of light from being mixed in the card insertion slot 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】カード挿入口の周辺に異なる色を発光する光源を配置しても、異なる色の光同士が混色することを防止したカード挿入部を提供すること。【解決手段】本形態のカード挿入部3は、X1方向から見たときに、X2方向に光出射部を向けてカード挿入口2の周囲を囲むように配置され、各々が多色発光することが可能な複数の光源10と、カード挿入口2が設けられるとともに、複数の光源10にX2方向から重なる透光性のカバー部材6と、複数の光源10とカード挿入口2との間に配置され、複数の光源10からカード挿入口2に向けて進行しようとする光を反射する反射部材11と、を備える。複数の光源10からカード挿入口2に向けて進行しようとする光は反射部材11により反射するため、カード挿入口2の内側に光が漏れない。したがって、カード挿入口2の内部において異なる色の光同士が混色することを防止することができる。【選択図】図1
