Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0631260A2] A device for sorting chips (3) on gaming tables has a conveyor, arranged underneath the gaming table, for the chips (3) which are inserted via an insertion orifice (2), the conveyor guiding the chips (3) past a reading head recognising their type, and the reading head controlling the feed of the chips (3) into chip cylinders (1) which are provided with centring members (8) and in each of which is guided a jack (4) which deposits the chips (3) in a stack above the table. In order to simplify the centring of the chips (3) in the chip cylinder (4), the centring members are designed as curved centring bodies, preferably as balls (8) which project through essentially uniformly distributed orifices in the chip cylinder (1) into the latter and which are held resiliently. <IMAGE>
