Definitions
- the invention relates to a table bowling alley with a cone footprint provided at one end of a ball 1 track and with an operating panel arranged at the other end of the ball track.
- Table bowling alleys are known in a variety of designs, from simply equipped lanes in which cones have to be set up by hand to fully automatic bowling lanes, all of whose functions, including the setting up and clearing of the cones, are electronically controlled. All table bowling alleys have a specially designed ball track to which laterally recessed ball catchers, so-called poodle troughs, are assigned. If the ball is thrown incorrectly, the ball coming off the ball raceway is caught in one of these channels and fed to a ball in the rear, which means that nothing can change in the picture of the cone. The ball track is naturally subject to high wear, particularly in the area where the ball touches down.
- the invention has for its object to provide a table bowling lane of the type mentioned, in which a damaged ball track can be replaced quickly and reliably by a new ball track without any significant loss of game time, the table bowling lane being replaced by an uncomplicated and reliable function Excellent design.
- the ball track consists of an interchangeable track element.
- the exchangeable lane element is designed as a scissor lane, asphalt lane or bowling lane.
- the track element is designed to be connectable in several parts according to an advantageous further development of the invention.
- the Schsch-leegel lane is constructed in a modular manner from a plurality of individual elements, the Individual elements can be assembled into a geometrically simple packaging unit.
- the ball raceway is made of plastic according to an advantageous further development of the object of the invention.
- the ball track expediently consists of foamed polyurethane.
- a groove running in the longitudinal direction is preferably foamed into it.
- the groove increases the track thickness from the longitudinal axis to the edges. This creates an asymmetrical tension in the raceway cross-section under the influence of increasing or decreasing heat, which causes the ball raceway to strive to curve upwards at the edges, as a result of which the fillet dimensions prescribed by rules can change.
- the fillet can be changed by the action of a tensile force acting centrally on the underside of the ball track.
- the ball raceway is expediently provided in one piece on both sides with ball catcher channels, as a result of which the ball raceway with the associated ball catchers is available as an exchangeable component.
- a rear stand housing which surrounds the cone in a hood-like manner, a front base housing carrying the ball mounting area of the ball raceway and an intermediate housing lying, the ball track and an underlying ball back! open connection housing.
- a preassembled unit is used in the standing housing, which consists of the cone footprint, a cone placement device with cone sorter, cone conveyor and cone magazine and a ball return device.
- an Ad ge-Tabl eau for depicting ⁇ development of the position and the condition of the individual cones of the selected category, the respective game object, the Gutha ⁇ bens and the like is embedded.
- a loudspeaker is expediently provided within the stand housing for outputting acoustic information, instructions or background music.
- the side walls of the stand housing are designed to be removable or pivotable.
- the base housing preferably has a ball catch pocket which adjoins the ball return channel and which is accessible through corresponding cutouts in the opposite side walls of the base housing.
- a coin processing device is installed in the base housing which has a control panel and can be operated from the front of the base housing.
- the ball is preferably associated with a ball lock which unlocks the ball only after sufficient credit is available.
- an up and down movable transparent disc is expediently arranged in front of the ball in the hood of the standing housing and assumes its open position only when there is sufficient credit.
- connection housing carries at its end connected to the base housing a bridge spanning the ball raceway, the upper side of which has a button panel for triggering control functions. This offers the player an ergonomically arranged button operation.
- a light barrier connected to a microprocessor is expediently installed in the side parts of the bridge just above the ball track, with which the point of impact and / or the initial speed of the ball can be determined.
- a second light barrier is preferably installed in front of the cone-mounting surface just above the ball raceway in the hood of the standing housing, via which the ball's raceway speed can be determined in cooperation with the first light barrier. In the case of a too high, predetermined track speed of the ball, the Invention of the shot thrown as a miss.
- the stand housing and the base housing are provided with height-adjustable feet.
- the table bowling alley is preferably designed on an appropriate scale of an official bowling alley, although not all individual parts are necessarily reduced to the same scale.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a bowling alley according to the invention with indicated cone stel 1 anl age
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bowling alley of FIG. 1 and
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the front view of the bowling alley of FIG. 1st
- the table bowling alley has a rear standing housing 1, which surrounds a cone, which is arranged downstream of a ball raceway 3, with a hood 2.
- the cone 5 accommodates the cone support surface which can be moved up and down and can be converted into an inclined position.
- a preassembled unit 6 is inserted, which Cone set up surface 4, a cone set up device 7 with cone sorter 8, cone conveyor and cone magazine 9 and a ball return device.
- a display panel 10 is installed with various Ad ⁇ gene 11 which are used to represent the position and the condition of the individual cones 5, the selected category, the respective game state of a credit, etc..
- a transparent disk 12 which can be moved up and down and which, in the case of a credit which is insufficient for the game readiness of the table bowling alley, has moved as far as the ball track 3 and thus has access to the track Cone set up 1 surface 4 cone 5 blocked. Only when there is sufficient credit does the disc 12 move into its open position.
- the side walls 13 of the stand housing 1 are designed to be removable.
- a base housing 14 which carries the ball mounting area 15 of the ball track 3.
- a between the stand housing 1 and the base housing 14 lying connection housing 16 receives the ball race 3, which is designed as an interchangeable track element and is divided into two sections 17, 18.
- the section 17 forms the rear part and the section 18 the front part of a scissor track, which overall is easily replaceable.
- On each side of the cone 1 track 3 made of plastic a lowered ball catcher 20 is arranged, which guides the ball to the ball return device in the event of a miss.
- An inclined ball return opening 21 runs from the ball return device below the ball raceway 3 in the connecting housing 16 to a ball catching pocket 22 accommodated in the base housing 14 Side walls 24 of the base housing 14, the ball catch ⁇ pocket 22 accessible.
- a coin processing device is also built into the base housing 14 and can be operated via coin acceptance slots 26 inserted into the front side 25 of the base housing 14.
- the Spi for el willingness of Tischke ⁇ gel lane available credit is also shown in the display -Tableau 10th Coin return trays 27 are located below the coin acceptance slots 26.
- connection housing 16 In the connection area of the connection housing 16 to the base housing 14, the connection housing 16 carries a bridge 28 spanning the ball raceway 3 and the ball collecting channels 20.
- a key panel 29 comprising various keys is attached to the top of the bridge 28 with which different control functions are triggered.
- a light barrier 31 consisting of transmitter and receiver is installed in the side parts 30 of the bridge 28, which is connected to a microprocessor controlling all the functions of the bowling alley. With the help of this light barrier 31, the touchdown point and / or the initial speed of the ball can be determined.
- a second light barrier 32 consisting of transmitter and receiver is located in front of the cone footprint 4 just above the ball track 3 in the side parts of the hood 2 of the standing housing 1. This light barrier 32, which is also connected to the microprocessor, interacts with the first light barrier 31, the track speed of the ball can be determined.
