Card Game Accessory Patents (Class D21/396)
  • Patent number: 7740244
    Abstract: A card cartridge for shuffling machines has a body and a cover. The body has a longitudinal slot defined in the body in a slantwise manner for receiving cards discharged from the shuffling machine, and at least two stops protrude oppositely from two side edges of the body to define a drawing gap. The cover is mounted detachably on the body and has a tail extending slantwise into the slot and two side panels abutting two side surfaces of the body to ensure the cover is stably positioned on the body. Furthermore, a wedge is movably disposed in the slot, selectively moving toward the second end of the body to press the cards toward the stops. When playing a card game, the body is implemented horizontally and the wedge moves along the slot to press the cards so players can easily draw cards sequentially from the drawing gap.

  • Patent number: 7478813
    Abstract: A device for holding and viewing playing cards is herein provided and discloses an apparatus that allows the viewing of playing cards that are placed down on the device for those who have limited use of their hands or would benefit from such a device. The invention takes the form of an angled stand with the approximate dimensions of four inches by six inches where a portion of this area is used to hold the cards face down, as placed there by the dealer or player's assistant, although other sizes and shapes for accommodating multiple card are envisioned. The device is shielded so that adjacent players are denied the ability to view the cards. A dual mirror assembly is visible through a viewing window that is used by the player. In such a manner, players without the use of their hands or arms can see their cards in an easy manner without the aid of another person.
