Abstract
A wireless tag reading device has an accommodation region with a bottom surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, and a back surface. The accommodation region can accommodate therein a product with a wireless tag attached thereto. The product can be inserted and withdrawn from the accommodation region via an opening at the front and top of the accommodation region. A tag reading unit includes an antenna configured to emit radio waves toward the product in the accommodation region and then receive a response signal. The outside portions of the first side surface, the second side surface, and the back surface reflect radio waves. An inside portion of the back surface is a radio wave transmitting material. There is a gap left between the inside portion and the outside portion of the back surface portion.
