  The above-mentioned conventional device collects used cards and checks whether or not those cards are composed of a predetermined number of suits and ranks, and whether they belong to a predetermined set, thereby preventing fraud. It contributes to. However, such an apparatus is not intended to collect a newly printed card or a used card to be assembled into a predetermined number of decks.

  In particular, when collecting used cards, there are cases where there are many specific cards (eg, Heart Aces) while other cards (eg, Spades Queens) are lacking.

  In particular, when collecting used cards and building them into a set of decks, it is not sufficient to simply check whether the necessary types of suits and ranks are available. It is necessary to adjust the excess and deficiency of the cards and, as a result, create a predetermined number of decks composed of a predetermined number of suits and ranks.

  The present invention has been made under the above background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a card deck creation device that automatically creates a predetermined number of deck cards used in a card game without any excess or deficiency.

In order to achieve the above object, a card deck creation device according to the present invention comprises a card set base for placing a bundle of a plurality of randomly arranged cards for card deck creation, and the card is a card set base. The soot and rank of the sent-out card are discriminated by reading out a feeding roller for feeding out one by one and a notation of the soot and rank of the card or an identification code representing the soot and rank attached to the card. A card reader, a sorting device for switching the traveling direction of the cards whose suits and ranks have been determined, and a card stocker for the number of stocks each storing the cards whose traveling direction has been switched by the sorting device,

  It is a general-view figure of the playing card used for the card deck preparation apparatus of the form 1 of this invention.   It is the figure which represented typically the information contained in the playing card.   It is a schematic side view of the card deck production apparatus.

Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[Trump card]
FIG. 1 is a general view of the front (front) surface of a playing card in a normal use state. FIG. 2 is a schematic view when the playing card of FIG. 1 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays as a special light beam. On the front surface of the playing card 10, an identification code recording unit 11 in which an identification code is recorded in a state that cannot be seen by human eyes in a normal use state, and spades, hearts, diamonds, There is provided a type notation section 12 in which any one of the clovers and any one of A, 2,..., J, Q, and K is indicated as a rank (value).

  In the present specification and claims, “suit” means the type of playing card (heart, spade, etc.), and “rank” means “number” (for example, ace, 2, 3, 10, Jack, Queen, King, etc.), and “notation” means notation indicating the suit and rank represented on the front (front) surface of the playing card. The “picture” means a pattern shown on the back of the playing card. In the playing cards constituting one deck, the type of the front surface is different, and the pattern on the back surface is the same. In a normal playing card game, only one deck is used, but in a casino, a game may be played using a plurality of decks having the same pattern.

  The identification code recording unit 11 is provided at the end in the longitudinal direction of the playing card. The identification code recording unit 11 is provided with a barcode 110 or the like as an identification code. The barcode 110 is printed on the playing card 10 with ultraviolet coloring ink that is colored when exposed to ultraviolet light (black light) and can be seen with the human eye. As shown in FIG. 1, the identification code recording unit 11 is provided so as not to overlap the type notation unit 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the type of the playing card is described using soot marks corresponding to the number of ranks as in the conventional playing card. It is also possible to use this as a type notation part.

  The identification code recording unit 11 may be provided near both long sides of the playing card 10. Moreover, two barcodes may be printed on the playing card 10 as the identification code recording unit 11 so as to face the end in the short direction of the card body.

  There are two identification code recording units 11 at positions symmetrical with respect to the center of the playing card 10, and the same identification code is given to both identification code recording units 11.

  Here, assuming that the identification code recording unit 11 is provided only at one place, when inspecting by a card reader described later, a plurality of sheets whose vertical directions are different after use are separated. The playing card must first be oriented so that its single identification code is in place. Such work is complicated. In addition, since the identification code is not visible in a normal use state, it is difficult to align the single identification code so that the positions thereof are aligned. In addition, some cards have a design that does not distinguish between the top and bottom (for example, diamond 4), and such cards cannot be relied on depending on the design. According to this configuration, there is an advantage that an inspection based on reading of the identification code can be performed without complicated inspection work and without complicating the card reader.

  When the barcode is read by the card reader, both may be read, and if one is not readable but one is readable, it may be determined as a normal card. Further, when there are a lot of code contents constituting the barcode, it is possible to print it in two places and to make both code data as one data.

  The identification code may be printed with other inks such as ink visualized by infrared rays in addition to ink visualized by ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, in the above example, the barcode is printed with ink that is invisible to human vision in a normal use state, but this is not a limitation, and the barcode is printed with visible ink that is visible to human vision in a normal use state. May be. When the barcode is printed with such visible ink, the user feels uncomfortable, but does not affect the game itself. Therefore, it is effective in that the card can be made inexpensive.

  When the identification code is magnetically provided, the magnetized portion may appear black on the card surface. In this case as well, humans can visually determine that some sort of identification code is given in normal use, but they cannot see what the identification code is. In other words, depending on human vision, it is not possible to distinguish between a magnetized portion given information of a certain identification code and a magnetized portion given information of another identification code. Such a state is also a state that cannot be seen by human vision in a normal use state.

  Further, the identification code recording unit 11 may be provided on the back surface of the playing card 10. Furthermore, the identification code part 11 may be provided in the playing card 10 by giving information on the identification code to an IC chip built in the playing card. The identification code may be composed of not only a bar code but also numbers, symbols, etc., or a mixture thereof.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing information included in the playing card 10. Each playing card 10 includes, as information contained therein, identification code information 110J representing a set to which the playing card belongs, type information 12J representing a suit and rank of the playing card, and pattern information 13J representing a playing card picture. And have. When one set is constituted by one deck of playing cards, the identification code information 110J representing the set is different for each deck, and when one set is constituted by a plurality of decks of playing cards, The identification code information 110J representing a set is common to a plurality of decks constituting the set.

  The identification code information 110J is obtained from the group code information 1101, the manufacturing date code information 1102, the manufacturer code information 1103, the casino code information 1104, and the manufacturing lot code information 1105 which are uniquely given to the group to which the playing card 10 belongs. It has become. Here, the group code 1101 may be given in common to, for example, 100 decks or 1000 decks of playing cards, or may be given uniquely to each deck. That is, the set may be composed of, for example, 1000 decks, or may be composed of one deck.

  The type information 12 </ b> J includes soot information 121 and rank information 122 included in the type notation unit 12, and type code information 1106 recorded in an invisible state in a normal use state, similar to the identification code 110. The type code information 1106 includes information obtained by coding the soot and rank of the type notation unit 12. The type code information 1106 may be provided in the same place as the identification code 110 or may be included in the identification code 110. The pattern information 13J is image information that the pattern on the back side of the playing card 10 has.
