Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007012702A1] The invention concerns an equipment for transporting tokens bearing coded data comprising a mobile structure (10) carrying game tokens (24) with electronic circuit (36) arranged in columns (26) in stacked bins (16) and a station for receiving (28) the carrier structure (10) at the site for storing the tokens, for example the safety vault of the casino, or at the site of use for example a gambling table. The carrier structure comprises a planar base (12) separated by a partition (13) with a handle (15) to carry two stacks of bins (16) containing tokens (24) and a lid (14). The receiving station (28) incorporates partly a non-contact RFID station (30) for reading the encoded data borne by the tokens (24) of at least one column (26) to determine or verify the contents of at least one batch of tokens present in the carrier structure (10), in particular so as to establish or control the inventory thereof. The reading station (30) comprises a reading unit with digital section (52) and analog section (38) provided with a wide loop antenna (32) with three loops (41, 42 and 43) respectively incorporated in the walls (18a and 18b) of the lid (14) and the median partition (13) fixed to the planar base (1). The equipment for transporting tokens is useful in casinos and gambling houses.
