    摘要: An apparatus for receiving and sorting disks includes a wheel having at least one well for receiving a disk, a motor coupled to the wheel, a collecting device positioned relative to the wheel, a disk sensor, an ejector, and a controller. The collecting device has at least a first collector and a second collector configured for receiving disks. The disk sensor is configured to detect a value of a parameter of a disk received in the well and generate a parameter value signal. The ejector is coupled to the wheel proximate the well and configured to eject a disk from the well in a plane parallel to a bottom surface of the wheel in response to an eject signal. The controller is operably coupled with the disk sensor and the ejector.

    摘要: Playing card-handling devices, such as shufflers, dealing shoes, discard racks and verification systems, are rotatably secured to a gaming table to allow for functional and ergonomic adjustment of the card-handling device, without removal from the gaming table. One end of the device, preferably a front end of the device from which playing cards may be removed, has a structure that extends through an aperture in the gaming table. The device is movable within the aperture. Movement in the X-Y direction, angular movement and rotational movement, parallel to the movement of the plane of the surface of the gaming table, is enabled. The movement of the device about the aperture preferably maintains the base of the device relatively parallel to the plane of the surface of the gaming table.

    摘要: A device for sorting disks or disk-like members of different identities (e.g., roulette chips) that ejects the disks from a receptacle by means of a rotating wheel with numerous wells, such as multi-chip storage compartments. Ejection of an article from the numerous wells is achieved by an ejector lever making contact with an activated solenoid thus forcing the article at the bottom of the well, in conjunction with the momentum of the rotating wheel, into a receiving space. The disks in the receiving spaces are continually replaced by newly arriving disks, which force the previously positioned disks upward into a column.

The drive may be operably coupled to the transport disc, for rotating the transport disc, and the transport disc may have multiple recesses for collecting individual chips. The ejector may be extendable into a recess from beneath the transport disc to move a disc that is in the recess and the cam may be selectively rotatable by the drive to push the ejector into the recess. The blade may have an upper surface positioned to receive a casino chip moved by the ejector. Additionally, a processor associated with the casino chip-sorting device may be programmed to recognize a jam.

    摘要: The invention relates to a sorting device for sorting gaming chips and counters. Said device comprises a collection container (1) located on a base frame (36), an adjoining oblique transport disc (3) for receiving and separating the gaming chips and counters (27), a characteristic identification system positioned in the vicinity of the transport disc (3), in addition to a transfer device (11), which distributes the gaming chips and counters (27) that are sorted according to characteristics in removal units (12) with a preferably U-shaped cross-section. The invention is characterised in that the gaming chips and counters (27) are transferred directly from the transport disc (3) to the removal units (12), the radially external region of said transport disc (3) having recesses (8), into which the gaming chips and counters (27) are separated. The device is provided with at least one ejector (14), which can be inserted at least partially from one side of the transport disc (3) into the recesses (8), in order to lift the lower edge (15) of the gaming chips and counters (27) above the front face (3a) of the transport disc (3) lying opposite the ejector (14), whereby a blade (16), located on a removal unit (12), slides under the gaming chip or counter (27) and the latter is placed on said blade.
