Card-handling device with defect detection and card diversion capabilities

A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11898837B2) details a card-handling device designed to efficiently handle cards while detecting and diverting defective ones. The device includes an input area for receiving cards, an output area for dispensing cards, and a defect detection system along the card path to scan cards for any modifications beyond a predetermined limit. A diverter is then activated to redirect cards that exceed the limit to a separate location, ensuring only quality cards continue along the path.

The card-handling device features various components such as rollers and deflectors to divert cards based on specific characteristics that have been modified beyond the predetermined limit. The defect detection system utilizes radiation emission and detection to identify issues like bent or torn cards. Additionally, the device includes temporary storage compartments to organize cards before outputting them in a predefined or randomized order, depending on the device's mode. The system is also equipped with a controller to manage the card-handling process efficiently, ensuring smooth operation and accurate card sorting or shuffling based on the user's needs.
