HIGH-CAPACITY AUTOMATIC PLAYING CARD SHUFFLER

摘要

Playing cards from two unshuffled card stacks (26 and 27) are interleaved orshuffled in random by propelling the cards in two intersecting trajectoriesand interleaving the cards into a single shuffled card collection (34) at theintersection point of the trajectories. Two card holding bins (28 and 30)receive the unshuffled card stacks (26 and 27) of playing cards and preferablya random number of cards are removed at a time. The interleaved cards settledownward onto an elevator assembly (110) to form the shuffled card collection(34).
