Shuffling machine with antistatic mechanism

Abstract

A shuffling machine with an antistatic mechanism has a central accommodation trough, a left accommodation trough, a right accommodation trough, and a card distribution space. The shuffling machine includes a movable board disposed over the central, left and right accommodation troughs at a predetermined height. The movable board includes a card distribution plate located in the card distribution space to distribute playing cards in the central trough to the left or right accommodation trough. One side of the card distribution plate has a first stopper, and another side has a second stopper. When the card distribution plate distributes the playing cards to the left accommodation trough, the second stopper is to separate the central trough from the right accommodation trough. When the card distribution plate distributes the playing cards to the right accommodation trough, the first stopper is to separate the central trough from the left accommodation trough.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shuffling machine with an antistatic mechanism, the shuffling machine having a central accommodation trough, a left accommodation trough and a right accommodation trough, the shuffling machine further having an interconnected card distribution space above the central accommodation trough, the left accommodation trough and the right accommodation trough, the shuffling machine being provided with a movable board, the movable board being movably disposed over the central accommodation trough, the left accommodation trough and the right accommodation trough at a predetermined height, the movable board including a card distribution plate extending downward and vertically, the card distribution plate being located in the card distribution space to distribute playing cards in the central accommodation trough to the left accommodation trough or the right accommodation trough, one side of the card distribution plate being provided with a first stopper extending downward and vertically, another side of the card distribution plate being provided with a second stopper extending downward and vertically, the card distribution plate being between the first stopper and the second stopper; thereby, the card distribution plate, the first stopper and the second stopper being synchronously displaced left and right in the card distribution space, wherein when the card distribution plate distributes the playing cards to the left accommodation trough, the second stopper is to separate the central trough from the right accommodation trough; when the card distribution plate distributes the playing cards to the right accommodation trough, the first stopper is to separate the central trough from the left accommodation trough. 
     
     
         2 . The shuffling machine with an antistatic mechanism as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the movable board is provided with an extension frame thereon, one end of the extension frame is provided with the first stopper, the card distribution plate is disposed at one side of the movable board, and the second stopper is disposed at another side of the movable board, enabling the card distribution plate to be between the first stopper and the second stopper. 
     
     
         3 . The shuffling machine with an antistatic mechanism as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein an outer side of the left accommodation trough is formed with a left slot, an outer side of the right accommodation trough is formed with a right slot, when the card distribution plate distributes the playing cards to the left accommodation trough, the first stopper is moved to the left slot, when the card distribution plate distributes the playing cards to the right accommodation trough, the second stopper is moved to the right slot. 
     
     
         4 . The shuffling machine with an antistatic mechanism as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one side of each of the first stopper and the second stopper, facing the card distribution plate, has a curved section. 
     
     
         5 . The shuffling machine with an antistatic mechanism as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a distance between the card distribution plate and the first stopper is equal to a width of the left accommodation trough, and another distance between the card distribution plate and the second stopper is equal to a width of the right accommodation trough.
