A spring is provided within the housing recess so as to urge the slot outward. A locking unit is provided for locking the slot within the housing recess against the urging force of the spring. A guide frame is pivotally attached to the front portion of the lower wall of the device body so as to be erectable therefrom. A card-shaped information medium is attached through a through-hole of the erected guide frame to the slot which protrudes outside from the housing recess.
