Portable electronic equipment
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- a body section;
an IC card accessing part provided in said body section and adapted to receive an IC card and to access data on said IC card, said IC card having a first surface and a second surface and having a contact part and an embossed part on said first surface, said IC card having a thickness h as measured between a top of said embossed part and said second surface;
an IC card insertion slot formed in said body section and positioned to allow said IC card to be inserted into said IC card accessing part, said IC card insertion slot having an upper side and a second lower side which is opposite to said first upper side, said first Upper side and said second lower side being adapted to face said first surface and said second surface of said IC card, respectively, when said IC card is inserted into said IC card accessing part, said first upper side and said second lower side being spaced apart by a distance H which is greater than said thickness h of said IC card, and said second lower side having a flat surface formed thereon; and
an elastic wiper extending from said first upper side of said IC card insertion slot and adapted to make contact with said contact part of said IC card when said IC card is inserted into said IC card accessing part through said IC card insertion slot and said second surface of said IC card is guided by said flat surface of said second lower side of said IC card insertion slot;
wherein;
when said IC card is inserted into said IC card accessing part through said IC card insertion slot, said elastic wiper presses on said first surface of said IC card so as to wipe said contact part of said IC card while said second surface of said IC card is guided smoothly by said second lower side of said IC card insertion slot.

Abstract
This portable electronic device includes a body section and an IC card accessing part provided in the body section. The body section has an IC card insertion slot; an elastic wiper is provided in the IC card insertion slot to make contact with a contact part of an IC card when the IC card is inserted into the IC card accessing part through the IC card insertion slot and a surface of the IC card is guided by a side of the IC card insertion slot. In this way, water and the like can be wiped off of the contact part, via IC card slot wherein an elastic wiper extends downwardly from the upper first side of the IC card slot (i.e., the elastic wiper extends a part way across a portion of the IC card slot, but an embossed part of the IC card is not caught in the slot. The portable electronic device also includes a hand hold band which is attached to be removable when desired, but not by accident.
