Abstract
A wireless tag reader and writer includes: a plurality of read and write boxes each having an opening at one end, through which an article with a wireless tag is accommodated, and a read antenna and a write antenna on parts of the side wall at the end opposite to the opening; and a box storage having a plurality of storage compartments for storing the read and write boxes. Each of the read and write boxes is fixed in the storage compartment with a fixing screw fixed to the side wall of the read and write box adjacent to the opening in such a manner the fixing screw is fixed in an inclined slide slit in the outer wall of the box storage adjacent to the opening such that the opening is higher than the opposite end. Thus, the wireless tag can be located close to the reading antenna and the write antenna.
