Patent ID: 7033222

Claim:
A card-receiving device for receiving a card having a plurality of terminal electrodes at an end in the insertion direction, comprising: a loading slot for the card; a plurality of connecting terminals respectively connected to the terminal electrodes of the card; a reference plane, one surface of the card in the thickness direction being pressed against the reference plane; a height-adjusting section pressed against the other surface of the card in the thickness direction; and first biasing means for biasing the height-adjusting section toward the reference plane, and further comprising: a pair of width-adjusting sections pressed against respective side faces of the card in the width direction orthogonal to both the thickness direction and the insertion direction of the card; second biasing means for biasing the width-adjusting sections so as to be close to each other; and positioning means for positioning the terminal electrodes of the card with respect to the connecting terminals in the width direction.
