The recessed part 14 in the center is formed so that the rear end of the inserted card is exposed as a space for the locking claws 50, 50 that hold the rear end, and a part where the card can be visually checked and manually inserted. In addition, there are two guide rails 1 for guiding the head holder that extend in the direction of card C insertion.
5 and 15, and two inclined guide surfaces 16 and 16 are formed along the guide rails 15 and 15 to gradually push up the contact head 30 from the non-contact position to the contact position with respect to the card.

つて制御されている。 Reference numeral 40 denotes a control lever for restricting the rotation of the lock pawl 50 between the card C locking position and the non-locking position, and is installed in the bottom plate 17 of the casing 10 so that it can move parallel to the head holder 20. pin 1
8 and 18 through elongated holes 41 and 41, the tip of which is attached to the lower end of the lock pawl 50 via a pin, and the rear end of which is attached to the head holder 20 so as to be movable. It is coupled to one end of the letter-shaped slider 25 via a ring spring 26. When the card C is not inserted, the control lever 40 and the slider 25 are in contact with each other due to the expansion force of the ring spring 26 that has rotated in one direction (see FIG. 2B), but the slider 25 is pushed by the head holder 20 and
When the ring spring 26 moves away from the control lever 40, the ring spring 26 is inverted as shown in FIG. 3B.
The control lever 40 is configured to be biased in a direction to press the lower end of the lock pawl 50, and is further controlled by two solenoids SOL 1 and SOL 2 , which will be described later.

込みを不能とするように作動する。 The first solenoid SOL 1 is provided with the function of releasing the control lever 40 in the direction of pressing the lock claw immediately before loading the card C, and the function of disabling the manual eject button 70 during read/write. The first switch detects the state immediately before card C is inserted.
When a detection signal is received from SW 1 , it is temporarily excited and attracts the first iron piece lever 61, and its locking pawl 62 is removed from the locking part 42 of the control lever 40, and the lever 4
A second switch SW 2 detects the installed state of card C while enabling movement of card C in the direction of pressing the lock claw.
When the computer starts a read/write operation, the iron piece lever 61 is held under suction by the output signal from the computer that is output during that period.
It operates by holding a part of the lever 61 so as to disable the manual eject button 70 from being pushed.

As shown in FIG. The second iron piece lever 63 is attracted against the spring 65, and the locking pawl 64 is actuated to disengage from the locking portion 43 of the control lever 40. Reference numeral 70 denotes the above-mentioned manual ejection button for ejecting the card, which is attached by a spring 71 so as to always protrude from the front plate 13 of the casing 10, and is provided with a rod 72 extending into the casing 10. The end of one rod 73 branched from this rod 72 is located opposite to the second lever 63 in the suction direction so as to be able to press the second lever 63 in the suction direction, and the tip of the other rod 74 is the end of the second lever 63 in the suction state. It is opposed to the position where pushing is prevented by.

0 is the second lever 63 for ejecting the previous card.
It is unlocked by the first lever 61 and moved inward of the main body 10, that is, to the right in the figure, and is then locked by the first lever 61. Therefore, in this state,
As shown in FIG. 4A, the claw 51 of the lock claw 50 is retracted from the insertion path of the card C, and the slider 25 is moved by the tension of the ring spring 26 to the control lever 4.
It is in contact with the rear end of 0 (Figure 2b).

When the head holder 20 is pushed in with its tip while resisting the pullback spring 21, the frame-shaped holder 24
The contact head 30 held within the contact head 30 moves up the inclined surface 16 with this movement, and when the card C is pushed near the predetermined mounting position, the head pin 31 is retracted against a spring (not shown) and moved to an appropriate position. Apply contact pressure to the contacts on the back of card C (Figure 3A).

るのでそのままの状態を維持している。 On the other hand, when the head holder 20 moves to the right and presses the slider 25 in the process, the slider 25 gradually moves away from the control lever 40 and at a certain stage reverses the ring spring 26 counterclockwise in the figure. For this reason, the lever 40 is now subjected to a pressing action to the left in the figure by the expansion force 26 of the ring spring, but at this point the control lever 40 is still attached to the locking pawl 62 of the first lever 61. Since he has been detained, he remains in that state.

を外す（第３図ロ）。 Under such conditions, when the card C continues to be inserted and reaches near the predetermined mounting position, the first switch SW 1 , which is a combination of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, detects the insertion of the card C and Instantly energize the first solenoid SOL 1 with the detection output,
The first lever 61 is sucked to release the control lever 40 (FIG. 3B).

（第３図ロ）。 The unlocked control lever 40 moves to the left in the drawing due to the biasing force of the ring spring 26, presses the lower end of the lock pawl 50, and rotates it clockwise in the drawing to remove the attached card C. The rear end is locked (FIG. 4B), and this locked state is achieved by the locking pawl 64 of the second lever 63 that falls into the locking portion 43 as the control lever 40 moves to the left. It is maintained (Figure 3 B).

生じた相対的移動によりセルフクリーニング作用
を生じて両者は確実に接触するに到る。 By the way, when you release your hand after pushing the card C all the way, the card C will move back a little along with the head holder 20 due to the biasing force of the pullback spring 21 due to the slight gap between the rear end of the card C and the lock claw 50. The contact head 30 pushed in by the rear wall of the frame-lowering type storage part 24 during the pushing process is positioned with a slight gap δ between it and the front wall of the storage part 24, so that the card C is not easily retracted. As a result, the relative movement between the card and the head pin 31 produces a self-cleaning action, and the two come into reliable contact.

１を吸引する。 When the card C is completely set, the computer starts the read/write operation by the output signal from the second switch SW 2 , but at the same time as this reading, the first solenoid SOL 1 is re-energized by the signal output from the computer indicating that the card cannot be removed. the first lever 6 so that the manual eject button 70 cannot be pushed in.

する。 Next, when the reading of the card C is completed, the signal outputted by the read/write completion signal from the computer or the take-out enable signal from the computer and the signal from the keyboard is sent to the second solenoid SOL 2.
Enter. Therefore, the second solenoid SOL 2 energized by this signal attracts the second lever 63 to release the control lever 40 and free the lock pawl 50 . By the way, this locking claw 50
Since the strong force of the pullback spring 21 is acting on the head holder 20 and the card C, the unlocked lock pawl 50 resists the biasing force of the ring spring 26 and moves the control lever 40. While moving to the center right, rotate counterclockwise to eject card C out of the machine.

る。 If it becomes necessary to take out the card C manually after it has been set, it can be done by pressing the manual eject button 70 before starting reading or after the end of reading while the first solenoid SOL 1 is in the demagnetized state. Then,
The second lever 63 can be rotated by the tip of the rod 73 to unlock the control lever 40.

A solenoid SOL is connected to the rear end of the locking pawl 50 disposed at 3 and 13 via an appropriate link mechanism 52, and this solenoid SOL is energized by a switch (not shown) for detecting the card insertion state, and the pawl at the tip of the locking pawl is activated. 51 into the insertion path of the card C, while demagnetizing the solenoid SOL by a read/write end signal from the computer or an eject signal output by operating the keyboard, or a switch operated by the manual eject button 70. The locking claw 51 at the tip of the locking claw is retracted from the card C insertion path.
