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 13):
A method for flush mounting a shuffler apparatus in an aperture in a table top the aperture having planar dimensions greater than a horizontal spacing of two opposing sides of the shuffler apparatus, the shuffler apparatus comprising an enclosure accessible to a user through a top surface thereof, the top surface of the shuffler apparatus extending a horizontal distance from side surfaces of the shuffler apparatus to form a lip, comprising;\n providing a pair of spacers attachable to an underside of the lip or to the side surfaces of the shuffler apparatus and sized such that the shuffler apparatus is sufficiently centered in the aperture such that the lip covers the aperture when the shuffler apparatus is inserted in the aperture; attaching the pair of spacers to the underside of the lip or to opposing side surfaces; and lowering the shuffler apparatus into the aperture.
