This antiabrasion member is easily inserted in a mold before an injection molding of a main body of the card reader and prevented from displacement in the mold, and allows a magnet head to be easily changed with new one to provide a good compatibility of the magnet head. The plurality of notches prevents the antiabrasion member from being horizontally displaced in a mold and are provided at both sides of the member, and engage with individual ribs of the mold when the member is located in the mold. The slit is provided as a result of lateral cutting of the member between the notches. The resilient part integrally extends from a side of the member near the slit and allows the slit to be inserted in a rib of the mold, and prevents the member from being vertically displaced in the mold.
