Abstract:
A card reader includes: a shutter member closing off a card passageway; a shutter urging member urging the shutter member toward a closed position where the card passageway is closed off; and a lever member having: a card contact part with which a card coming into contact in a case where a width of the card is a regular width and a restriction part restricting operation of the shutter member at the closed position; and a lever urging member urging the lever member toward a restriction position where the restriction part restricts the operation of the shutter member. When the card comes into contact with the card contact part, a restricted state of the shutter member by the restriction part is released. When the card comes into contact with the shutter member and then the shutter member is pressed, the shutter member operates for allowing passage of the card.

Claim (Index 1):
A card reader comprising:\n a card insertion slot into which a card is to be inserted; a card passageway through which the card inserted into the card insertion slot passes; a shutter member that closes the card passageway; and a shutter urging member that urges the shutter member toward a closed position at which the shutter member closes off the card passageway; a lever member having:\n a card contact part with which the card comes into contact in at least either one of a case in which, a direction orthogonal to a passing direction of the card passing through the card passageway and a thickness direction of the card being defined as a first direction, a width of the card that is inserted into the card insertion slot has a regular width in the first direction is a regular width and a case in which a thickness of the card that is inserted into the card insertion slot is a regular thickness, and \n a restriction part that restricts an operation of the shutter member at the closed position; and \n a lever urging member that urges the lever member toward a restriction position at which the restriction part restricts the operation of the shutter member, wherein when the card that is inserted into the card insertion slot comes into contact with the card contact part, the lever member shifts to a release position at which a restricted state of the shutter member by the restriction part is released and thereafter when the card that is inserted further comes into contact with the shutter member and the shutter member is pressed by the card, the shutter member operates so as to allow passage of the card.
