Abstract:
Installing a flush-mounted table-top shuffler in an oversized aperture in a card table top may result in a gap between an edge of the shuffler top plate and a side of the aperture opening if the shuffler is not well centered in the aperture. The table may be covered with a felt having an underlying resilient pad. The pad may be compressed by a lip of the shuffler top surface so that a thickness of the shuffler top surface plate is subsumed in the depression in the table top covering caused by the weight of the shuffler. The range of horizontal motion of the shuffler in the aperture may be restricted by spacers so that a gap does not form and that the force applied to the resilient pad by the weight of the shuffler is more evenly distributed around the periphery of the top surface of the shuffler.

Claim (Index 14):
A system, comprising:\n a shuffler having an rectangular cross section enclosure having pairs of opposed sides and a bottom portion; a table top having an aperture in a surface thereof, the aperture having planar dimensions greater than a horizontal width between two opposing side surfaces of the lower portion of the enclosure and extending through the table top; a top surface of the enclosure orthogonal to the opposing sides of the enclosure and extending a horizontal distance from side surfaces of the enclosure to form a horizontal lip, a width of the top surface including the horizontal lip being greater than a width of the aperture in a corresponding direction; and a pair of spacers disposed on an underside of the horizontal lip, the spacers disposed between the sides of the enclosure and sides of the table top aperture, each spacer of the pair of spacers sized such that a shuffler enclosure is sufficiently centered in the aperture such that the horizontal lip covers the aperture when the shuffler is inserted in the aperture, wherein the shuffler enclosure is insertable into the table top through the aperture.
