OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object thereof is to provide a mechanism for accurately positioning a magnetic card in a magnetic head moving type magnetic card recording/reproducing device with a simple configuration. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a magnetic head moving type magnetic card recording and reproducing device, which includes a stop member that protrudes into the magnetic card travel path when a magnetic card is inserted and determines the stop position of the magnetic card, and a stop member that protrudes into the magnetic card running path when the magnetic card is inserted, and further includes a stop member that protrudes into the magnetic card running path when the magnetic card is inserted and determines the stop position of the magnetic card. The magnetic head or the carriage holding the magnetic head has a resilient member that projects the member onto the magnetic card running path, and in a non-contact running area where the magnetic head does not come into contact with the magnetic card, the magnetic head or the carriage holding the magnetic head touches the stop member. By evacuating the magnetic card from the magnetic card running path, it is possible to accurately secure the magnetic card stopping position within the magnetic card recording/reproducing device.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention! FIG. 2 is a side view showing the state in which the device is inserted into the main body of the recording and reproducing device and stopped at a predetermined position, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the operating state.

This will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

First, FIG. 3A shows a state in which the magnetic card 1 is inserted along the magnetic card insertion guide member 3. When the insertion of a magnetic card is detected by a detection sensor (not shown), the magnetic card transport motor 4 is activated. The rotation of the transport motor 4 is decelerated by a worm gear 5 and a worm wheel 6 and transmitted to a shaft 7. A belt drive pulley 8 is attached to one end of the shaft 7 and rotates together.

A magnetic card conveying belt 10 is stretched between the driving pulley 8 and the driven pulley 9, and two pressing rollers 11.1
2, and the magnetic card 1 is taken into the main body of the device.

The magnetic head 2 is rotatably held on a carriage 19 about a shaft 18 . With this mechanism, the magnetic head 2
can always run in contact with the magnetic card 1 at right angles. There are two guiding shafts 20 and 21 inside the apparatus body, which guide the carriage 19.

Inside the main body of the apparatus is a stop member 13 which is rotatably held about a shaft 7 and biased clockwise by a spring 16 (see FIG. 2). This stop member 13 is provided with a cam surface 13a that comes into contact with a surface i9a of the carriage 19. On the other hand, the magnetic card contact surface 13b of the stop member 13 is projected onto the magnetic card running path 2o by a spring 15, and when the magnetic card 1 reaches the magnetic card contact surface 13b of the stop member 13, a detection sensor (not shown) The position of the magnetic card 1 is detected and the magnetic card transport motor 4 is stopped.
The position of the magnetic card 1 within the device body is determined.

When the loading of the magnetic card 1 is completed, the magnetic head drive motor 21 is driven. The rotation of the magnetic head drive motor 28 is decelerated by the worm 22 and worm wheel 23 and transmitted to the magnetic head drive pulley 24 . Drive pulley 2
4 drives the rope 25. The rope 25 is attached to the carriage 19 with screws 26.

Figure 3B shows the magnetic card 1 inserted and stopped at a predetermined position.
This figure shows a state in which the magnetic head 2 is running along the magnetic stripe 1a.

FIG. 3C shows a state in which the carriage 19 has reached the left end of the main body of the apparatus. In this state, carriage 1
9 comes into contact with the stop member 13, the stop member 13 rotates clockwise, and the card contact surface 13b is retracted from the magnetic card conveyance path. In this embodiment, the carriage comes into contact with the stop member to operate the stop member, but a portion of the magnetic helad 2 may act on the stop member.

Normally, in the case of a regular magnetic card, the carriage 19 travels rightward to the state shown in Figure 3, ejects the magnetic card 1 from the device along with the magnetic card insertion guide member 3, and then returns to the state shown in Figure 3A. Return to state. However, in the case of an irregular magnetic card, from the state shown in FIG. The magnetic card 1 can be ejected and confiscated through the magnetic card ejection port 2 at the right end of the device main body. This state is shown in FIG. 3 E'''C.

In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to accurately position the magnetic card in the magnetic card recording/reproducing device with a simple configuration, and also to process regular magnetic cards.
It is also possible to confiscate illegal magnetic cards.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the magnetic head moving type magnetic card recording and reproducing device of the present invention includes a stop member that protrudes into the magnetic card running path when the magnetic card is inserted and determines the stop position of the magnetic card, and a stop member that protrudes into the magnetic card running path when the magnetic card is inserted. The magnetic force is applied to the stop member.
a non-contact running area in which the magnetic north head does not come into contact with the magnetic card;
By causing the magnetic head or the carriage holding the magnetic head to act on the stop member and retreat from the magnetic card running path, the magnetic card can be accurately positioned within the magnetic card recording/reproducing device, and moreover, the magnetic card can be correctly positioned. In addition to processing magnetic cards, it can also confiscate illegal magnetic cards.
