    (54) RFID READING/WRITING DEVICE


    (57) An RFID reader-writer includes a housing (20) in which an antenna (16) and a wireless tag processor (13) are housed. The housing (20) includes a front surface (30), a rear surface (40) facing the front surface (30), and plural side surfaces (21 to 24) connected to the front surface (30) and the rear surface (40). A reading surface (31) and a front-side gripping surface (32) are formed on the front surface (30). The antenna (16) is disposed at a position inside the housing (20) which faces the reading surface (31), in such a manner that the antenna (16) can transmit and receive electromagnetic waves via the reading surface (31). A part of the rear rear surface (40) which faces the front-side gripping surface (32) is formed as a rear-side gripping surface (42). The front-side gripping surface (32) and the rear-side gripping surface (42) are configured as a handgrip (50) for gripping the RFID reader-writer with a thumb and a finger.
