PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an external force of one magnetic reading part from being transmitted to the other magnetic reading part via a flexible cable in a magnetic card reader.SOLUTION: A magnetic card reader includes: magnetic reading parts 24A, 24B for reading magnetic data recorded in a magnetic card C1; and a flexible cable 42 for transferring signals from the magnetic reading parts 24A, 24B to a signal processing circuit side, respectively. The flexible cable 42 is provided with branching parts 62, 63 branched from a main body part 61 and connected to the magnetic reading parts 24A, 24B, respectively. The branching parts 62, 63 include first and second main body side end parts 62A, 63A extending in parallel to each other along a card running-path 23. The main body part 61 includes a branch part side end part 61B extending by crossing the card running-path 23.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】磁気カードリーダにおいて、１つの磁気読取部からの外力が可とう性ケーブルを介して他の磁気読取部に伝達されることを抑制する。【解決手段】磁気カードＣ１に記録された磁気データを読み取る磁気読取部２４Ａ、２４Ｂと、磁気読取部２４Ａ、２４Ｂからの信号を信号処理回路側にそれぞれ伝送する可とう性ケーブル４２とを備え、可とう性ケーブル４２には、その本体部６１から分岐して磁気読取部２４Ａ、２４Ｂにそれぞれ接続される分岐部６２、６３が設けられ、分岐部６２、６３は、カード走行通路２３に沿って互いに並行して延在する第１及び第２の本体部側端部６２Ａ、６３Ａをそれぞれ有し、本体部６１は、カード走行通路２３と交差して延在する分岐部側端部６１Ｂを有する。【選択図】図７
