In a card reader (), if a shutter member (), being located at a block position for blocking a card transfer path (), rotates toward a deep side of the card reader, the shutter member moves to an open position. In a part within a surface of a side of the card transfer path in a thickness direction of the card (), at a side deeper than the shutter member, there are formed only an open part () and an open part (); the open part being for preventing an interference of the shutter member, rotating toward the open position, with the main body frame (), as well as ejecting a foreign object out of the card transfer path; the open part being for preventing an interference of a movable component (), placed so as to face the card transfer path, with the main body frame.
