Abstract:
An adapter for an image scanner, the image scanner being structured to convey a card, and the adapter being structured so that a front surface and a back surface of a card-shaped medium thinner than the card are read by the image scanner, the adapter may include a first sheet which is transparent and longer than a length of the card, and the card-shaped medium being placed on a front surface of the first sheet; a spacer having a constant thickness which is transparent and fixed to at least one of a front end portion and a rear end portion of the front surface of the first sheet; and a second sheet which is transparent and fixed to the spacer so as to be overlapped with the first sheet, and the second sheet covering the card-shaped medium from an opposite side to the first sheet.

Claim (Index 17):
An image scanner comprising:\n the adapter for an image scanner defined in  claim 1 ; a conveyance path structured to convey the card of the predetermined standard; a conveyance mechanism structured to convey the adapter which holds the card-shaped medium thinner than the card along the conveyance path; a first image sensor and a second image sensor which are disposed on either side so as to sandwich the conveyance path; a transmission type photo sensor structured to detect the adapter or the card-shaped medium on an upstream side in the conveyance direction with respect to a first image reading position by the first image sensor and a second image reading position by the second image sensor; and a control part structured to drive the first image sensor and the second image sensor based on a signal from the transmission type photo sensor and read an image of a first face on a side of the first sheet of the card-shaped medium passing through the first image reading position and read an image of a second face on a side of the second sheet of the card-shaped medium passing through the second image reading position; wherein each of the first image sensor and the second image sensor irradiates the adapter conveyed on the conveyance path with an image reading light of a visible light.
