Card-delivering device for a shuffling machine

Abstract

A card-delivering device for a shuffling machine has a frame, at least one drawing roller group, a drawing transmission, an actuating roller group and an actuating transmission. The frame has a pivoting panel with a magnet. The drawing roller group is mounted in the frame near the output end. The drawing transmission drives the drawing roller group. The actuating roller group has a magnetic roller corresponding to the magnet. The actuating transmission drives the actuating roller group. When the magnetic roller is rotated, the magnetic roller alternatively attracts or repulses the magnet to cause the pivoting panel to pivot. Therefore, cards pass between the magnetic roller and the pivoting panel in order when a gap between the magnetic roller and the pivoting panel is formed.

1 . A card-delivering device for a shuffling machine comprising:
 a frame having
 an input end; 
 an output end; 
 two side panels; 
 a receiving panel being mounted securely between the side panels near the input end of the frame;

 at least one magnet being mounted in the pivoting panel near the abutting end; 
   at least one drawing roller group being mounted in the frame;   a drawing transmission being connected to and driving the at least one drawing roller group;   an actuating roller group being mounted in the frame and having
 a central rod being mounted rotatably between the side panels near the input end of the frame; and 
 a magnetic roller being mounted securely around the central rod and corresponding to and alternatively attracting or repulsing the magnet; and 
   an actuating transmission being connected to and driving the actuating roller group.   
     
     
         2 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the actuating transmission has
 a motor being mounted in the frame and having a driving shaft;   a drive gear being connected to and being driven by the driving shaft of the actuating transmission; and   a driven gear engaging the drive gear of the actuating transmission and being connected to and driving the central rod of the actuating roller group.   
     
     
         3 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each one of the at least one drawing roller group has
 a top roller assembly being mounted rotatably between the side panels near the output end of the frame;   a bottom roller assembly being mounted rotatably between the side panels near the output end of the frame and being mounted adjacent to the top roller assembly; and   a gap being formed between the top and the bottom roller assemblies and aligning with the receiving panel.   
     
     
         4 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each one of the at least one drawing roller group has
 a top roller assembly being mounted rotatably between the side panels near the output end of the frame;   a bottom roller assembly being mounted rotatably between the side panels near the output end of the frame and being mounted adjacent to the top roller assembly; and   a gap being formed between the top and the bottom roller assemblies and aligning with the receiving panel.   
     
     
         5 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the drawing transmission has
 a motor being mounted in the frame and having a driving shaft;   a drive gear being connected to and being driven by the driving shaft of the drawing transmission; and   a driven gear set being driven by the drive gear of the drawing transmission, being connected to and driving the at least one drawing roller group and having
 at least one driven gear being driven by the drive gear of the drawing transmission and being connected to and driving a corresponding drawing roller group. 
   
     
     
         6 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein each one of the at least one driven gear of the drawing transmission engages the drive gear of the drawing transmission. 
     
     
         7 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein each one of the at least one driven gear of the drawing transmission is connected to and drives the bottom roller assembly of the corresponding drawing roller group. 
     
     
         8 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a transmission gear engages and is connected between the at least one driven gear and the drive gear. 
     
     
         9 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the at least one driven gear is connected to and drives the top roller assembly of the corresponding drawing roller group. 
     
     
         10 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the actuating roller group has multiple auxiliary rollers being mounted securely around the central rod. 
     
     
         11 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the actuating roller group has multiple auxiliary rollers being mounted securely around the central rod. 
     
     
         12 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the actuating roller group has multiple auxiliary rollers being mounted securely around the central rod. 
     
     
         13 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the motor of the actuating transmission is attached securely to one side panel. 
     
     
         14 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein
 the motor of the drawing transmission is attached securely to one side panel; and   the motor of the actuating transmission is attached securely to one side panel.   
     
     
         15 . The card-delivering device as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein
 the motor of the drawing transmission is attached securely to one side panel; and   the motor of the actuating transmission is attached securely to one side panel.
