Abstract
A card feed-out device may include a card housing; a feed-out claw; a claw feed mechanism; a gate member; and a gate moving mechanism. A front opening is formed in a lower end of a front surface of the card housing. A lower opening is formed in a front end of a lower surface portion of the card housing. The gate member may include a front surface and a bottom surface. The gate may be formed between a lower end surface of the front surface and a top surface of the bottom surface. During standby, the gate member is at a retracted position. When the first card is fed out, the gate member moves until at least a part of the bottom surface passes through an upper end of the lower opening, and a lower surface of the gate is disposed above the top surface of the housing bottom surface.
