A card carrier in use with an optical data record/reproduction system for reading data from and writing data to a card, including a press contact slide member (26, 27) which prevents a table for carrying the card from being tilted and deviated from a predetermined traveling direction, and a table drive member which prevents the transfer of a vibration to the table. With this arrangement, data is exactly written into and read out from the card.

Card carrier

This device is an arrangement for detecting a signal for effecting a focus control of an optical head with respect to an optical information recording medium by making use of a reflected light beam from the optical information recording medium. On an optical path for a reflected light beam reflected from the recording surface of the optical recording medium, a photodetector is provided. This photodetector is composed of a plurality of elements arranged symmetrically in the transverse cross section of the light beam. Thus, an output of the outside element and an output of the inside element of the plural elements arranged in the transverse cross section of the light beam are used to detect a focus error, thus to utilize the signal detected for the focus control.

Optical card reader/writer

A read/write apparatus for information memory card which is improved in durability of the card and the apparatus itself, and in reliability of information processing. When a card is completely inserted, a connector is swung toward the card until contactors of the connector are pressed on terminals of a memory built in the card, so that the memory and an information processing unit are connected via the connector to facilitate flawless information exchange therebetween, whereby data processing is ensured. Upon completion of information processing, the connector is detached from the card so that the movement of the card causes no wear or damage on the contactors nor the card itself.

Read/write apparatus for information memory card

In an optical memory card reading device of the type comprising a card feeding means for feeding a card inserted into an insertion inlet into the device, an optical reader means for illuminating the memory surface of the optical memory card thus fed in and receiving the reflected light rays from the memory surface and a circuit for converting the information read out by the optical reader means into an electric signal which in turn is analyzed to detect the contents in the memory, an optical memory card reading device characterized by the provision of a card cleaning means which is disposed adjacent to the card insertion inlet for cleaning the memory of the inserted card.
