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 15):
A kit comprising:\n a shuffler enclosure with a bottom portion, a top portion having a horizontal lip and opposing sides joining the top portion and the bottom portion; and a pair of spacers, attachable to the enclosure at opposing sides of an underside of the horizontal lip or to opposing side surfaces of the enclosure proximal to the underside of the horizontal lip, wherein the spacers are sized and dimensioned such that, when attached to the enclosure and the enclosure inserted in a table top having an aperture with planar dimensions greater than a horizontal dimension between the opposing side surfaces of the bottom portion of the enclosure without the spacers being attached, the enclosure is sufficiently centered in the aperture such that the horizontal lip covers the aperture and the lip is in contact with an upper surface of the table top.
