PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly indicate to a user a position to hold up a certificate to a camera by having the position of the camera provided to a toll collection device capable of being grasped at a glance.SOLUTION: A gadget 20 for a toll collection device includes: a base unit 21 to be attached surrounding a camera 9 provided to a toll collection device M; guide members 23 rising forward from the base unit 21; and a presentation target unit 25 provided on a front edge of the guide members 23 for visually indicating a position to hold up a subject P to be photographed by the camera. The base unit 21 is attached to be freely removable by magnetic force to a front surface unit of the toll collection device M, the guide members 23 are four pieces of shaft-shaped members arranged along the periphery of the camera 9 and the presentation target unit 25 is a sphere which is greater than the diameter of a shaft of the shaft-shaped members. The guide members 23 are tiltable to the base unit 21 and when the guide member 23 is tilted due to receiving outside force, returns to a former state by rising from the base unit 21 with bouncing force along with releasing of the outside force.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】料金収受装置に備えられるカメラの位置をひと目で把握できるようにし、カメラに対して証明書をかざす位置を、利用者にわかりやすく示す。【解決手段】料金収受装置Ｍが備えるカメラ９の周囲に取り付けられる基部２１と、基部２１から前方に向かって立ち上がるガイド部材２３と、そのガイド部材２３の前端に設けられ、カメラで撮影する対象物Ｐをかざす位置を視覚で示す提示目標部２５とを備える料金収受装置用ガジェット２０とした。基部２１は料金収受装置Ｍの前面部に磁力の作用により着脱自在に取り付けられ、ガイド部材２３はカメラ９の周囲に沿って４本配置された軸状部材で、提示目標部２５は、軸状部材の軸の直径よりも大きい球体とした。ガイド部材２３は基部２１に対して可倒式であり、ガイド部材２３が外力を受けて倒れた際に、外力の解放とともに弾力をもって基部２１から立ち上がって元の状態に復帰する。【選択図】図１
