Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability and to prevent malfunction occurring by comprising a mechanism so that a power source can be applied by locking an IC card and the IC card can be prevented from inserting when the power source is applied. CONSTITUTION:Since a lock member 4 is also operated by turning on a power source switch 2, the insertion of the IC card 3 is prevented with the lock member 4 even when it is tried. Also, when the power source switch 2 is turned off, no lock member 4 is operated, therefore, the insertion of the IC card can be made smoothly and it is set correctly. When the power source switch 2 is turned off after the IC card is set correctly, the IC card 3 is also locked with the lock member 4. In such a way, a trouble can be eliminated that a mistake to insert the IC card 3 as leaving the power source switch 2 tuned on is performed or that the power source switch 2 should be turned on after the IC card 3 is locked.

In the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a notch 3' is formed in the IC card 3, and a claw member 12, which constitutes a part of the locking member 4, is provided in this notch 3'. It is designed to engage. The τ hook member 4 fixes the knob 5 to the cam plate 13 and has a contact 14 on one side of the cam plate 13.
is provided, and a tapered surface 15 is formed on the other side, and one end of the claw member 12 is brought into contact with this tapered surface 15. When the contact 14 comes into contact with one end of a slide switch 16 constituting the power switch 2, the main body 1 is powered on. The claw member 12 is constantly pulled upward and downward in the drawing by a spring 17, and one end of the claw member 12 is pressed against the tapered surface 15. The operation of the locking member 4 constructed in this way is as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
By sliding the knob 5 toward the right in the drawing, the cam plate 13 also slides toward the right. Contact 14
slides from the OFF area of the slide switch 16 toward the ON area. Also, the tapered surface 15 is the knob 5
As it slides toward the right, the claw member 12 is raised against the biasing force of the spring 17. When the contact point 14 reaches the ON region of the slide switch 16, the power of the main body 1 is turned on,
The claw member 12 engages with the notch 3' of the IC card 3. When the knob 5 is slid in the opposite direction, the claw member l2 is removed from the notch 3' by the force of the spring 17. The contact 14 comes into contact with the off region of the slide switch 16. A push type switch 17 may be used instead of the slide switch 16 (see FIG. 8).

As explained above, the present invention provides an IC that is inserted into the main body of an electronic device in conjunction with the ON operation of the power switch of the main body of the electronic device.
Since a locking member is provided that presses or engages the card, the locking member will interfere with the IC when the main unit is powered on.
Since the card cannot be inserted smoothly, it is possible to prevent the malfunction of inserting an IC card while the main body power is on.
