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 11):
The card transport device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a stopper movable between a first position at which the stopper intersects at least one of the support surface and the slope to restrict downstream ends in the transport direction of the one or more cards supported on the support surface, and a second position at which the stopper is withdrawn from the at least one of the support surface and the slope to allow transportation of the one or more cards.
