Abstract
An item managing apparatus includes: an item attachment device including a linear member and a biasing member, the linear member including one end that is attached to an item, the biasing member biasing the linear member from the one end in a first direction; a communication device attached to the linear member; and a device accommodation part that can accommodate the communication device, the device accommodation part being configured to exert an electromagnetic shielding function for the communication device when the communication device is accommodated in the device accommodation part. When no external force is applied to the item against biasing force of the first direction generated by the biasing member, the communication device is accommodated in the device accommodation part, and when external force is applied to the item against the biasing force of the first direction, the communication device is enabled to exit from the device accommodation part.
