  • Patent number: 10614656
    Abstract: There is provided a system for managing a table game in which management for which cards are certainly discarded after being used without being dispersed in a unit of packages in which they are packaged is realized in a unit for cartons for discard. The system for managing a table game according to the present invention stores information on carton IDs read by an ID card reader, and a moving apparatus (700) of the carton (600) for discard for accepting discarded cards (3) in different areas (600A) in a unit of packages is provided below an outlet (4) of a game table (2). The moving apparatus (700) is provided with an X-Y table (701) moving the carton (600) for discard in an X-Y direction (shown in FIG. 5), and the carton (600) for discard is mounted and fixed on the X-Y table (701).

  • Patent number: 9962899
    Abstract: A partition assembly comprising a partition matrix made up of intersecting first and second slotted partitions, each of the partitions having at least one slot and a rounded edge. The slots of the partitions are engaged with each other at a plurality of intersections. The partitions are made by rounding an edge of a multi-layered blank using a rotatable tool and then cutting the partition material to a desired size. Slots may then be formed in the edge sealed material.

  • Patent number: 4746053
    Abstract: A partition assembly for dividing the internal space of a container comprising first and second sets of intersecting planar dividers, the sets of dividers having interengaging vertical slots which are locked at some or all of the points of intersection. The slots of the first set of dividers are defined by tabs cut from the first set of dividers and connected by vertical score lines to the first set of dividers. The vertical score lines of the first set of dividers are substantially colinear with the vertical slots of the second set of dividers. The tabs are folded along the score lines outwardly from the planes of the first set of dividers and into the planes of the second set of dividers and are permanently joined to the second set of dividers.

  • Patent number: 4595246
    Abstract: An interlocking spacer system is provided which comprises a plurality of interlocking panels which can be arranged to divide a large space into smaller compartments. The panels are made up of wall segments joined together by webs, each web having a height not more than half the height of the wall segments. This results in relieved areas between each wall segment. The webs have two pairs of opposed grooves, one pair facilitating separation of adjacent wall segments and the second pair for receiving wall edges of adjacent wall segments in an interlocking manner thereby allowing the panels to be interlocked in an end butt relationship.

  • Patent number: 4472009
    Abstract: This cabinet and partition assembly can be used with office stands of the type having a table top, and the assembly includes a cabinet attached to the underside of the table top and having opposed side panels and a lower panel of substantially the same interior size as each other to define a square front access opening. The partition includes opposed parallel side members having perpendicular members extending therebetween, said partition having the same overall perpendicular dimensions. The partition dimensions define a square of substantially the same size as the cabinet access openings so that the opening can receive the partition in a horizontal shelf mode, or, when turned through ninety degrees, can receive the partition in a vertical divider moder. The cabinet is provided with a door which may be optionally hung on either of the cabinet side panels.
