Abstract:
A card transport device transports one or more cards while reducing failures of its feed unit in feeding the cards. A card transport device includes a support surface that supports one or more cards thereon, a feed unit facing the support surface for feeding the one or more chards, a separator located downstream from the feed unit in a transport direction, a slope connected to a downstream support end of the support surface in the transport direction and extending obliquely upward downstream in the transport direction toward the separator, and a restrictor located on the support surface. The restrictor restricts a position of an upstream end of a particular card directly supported on the support surface, out of the one or more cards, thereby positioning a downstream end of the particular card to be downstream from the feed unit in the transport direction.

Claim (Index 12):
The card transport device according to  claim 11 , wherein:\n the feed unit includes a feed roller configured to rotate about a first axis extending in a width direction perpendicular to the transport direction, the separator includes a separation roller configured to rotate about a second axis parallel to the first axis, the card transport device further includes a holder supported to be swingable about the second axis and holding the feed roller rotatably about the first axis, and the stopper has an upper end configured to contact and move the holder away from the support surface in response to the stopper moving from the second position to the first position.
