  • Sorting device for sorting playing cards
    Patent number: 9227132
    Abstract: A sorting device for sorting a stack of playing cards laid in an input bin in four stacks and removing them at the four cardinal points of the sorting device includes two receiving bins disposed on top of each other, of which the upper receiving bins are adjustable in height in order to selectively deposit playing cards in the lower receiving bins or upper receiving bins. The upper receiving bins are disposed on a rotatable subframe that, after sorting, is rotatable for a quarter of a turn in order to bring the upper receiving bins into a removal position in which the playing cards can be removed at the four cardinal points. At the four removal positions, doors are present that open automatically and through which ejector pins then move the playing cards outside.
