CARD INVERTING DEVICE, CARD GAME MACHINE, AND CARD INVERTING METHOD

摘要

A card inverting device for inverting and conveying a card without allowing anything to coming into contact with the card in an automatic card game machine. A card placed on a card stage of a table is attracted by the magnetic force generated by a magnetic circuit having three electromagnet units. Therefore, a slider supporting the magnetic circuit is moved by a card conveying mechanism, the card slides on the top face of the card stage in such a way as to follow the magnetic circuit in the direction of the movement of the magnetic circuit. The card is inverted by 180 DEG because one edge of the card is attracted by the central electromagnet unit and the other edge is repelled by the magnetic force generated by the left-hand electromagnet. A card game machine and a card inverting method are also disclosed.
