Description

Bowling game machine.

Technical field

The present invention relates to a system of bowling game in which a ball is thrown down a track in whose Extreme is ready a bowling group for fun, being those bowling down by the thrown ball.

Prior art

These bowling game systems are configured with: an approach zone in which players throw a ball; a track that extends from the area of approach and by which the ball rolls; a bowling group arranged at the end of the runway opposite the area of approach; concavity shaped channels arranged in each side of the track and receiving the balls that come out of said track. Players enjoy the game competing with each other for a higher score, which depends on the number of bowling knock down

Of course, the amount of bowling that players are able to knock down depends on the direction in which the ball is thrown, that is, player scores are determined by the part of the bowling that is hit by the ball, and the ability of said players to control said ball.

Due to their poor physical development, children they are not able to control the launch direction of the ball, and therefore cannot get a high score, or in any case, they are only able to knock down a few bowling, since the ball always falls into the channels. In such cases, the children lose interest in bowling and are not able to enjoy family outings to go bowling or Get involved in them.

In view of these considerations, until the date several prevention systems have been proposed that prevent A thrown ball falls into the channels. One such system is configured so that some bars, which are arranged at along both sides of the track, they move horizontally from simultaneously between a locked position, near the edge of said track, in which said bars prevent the ball from falling into the channels, and a retracted position, near the edge of said channels, in which the bars move from the position of blocking. Reference is made to the application publications of Japanese patent not examined numbers H7-155424, H9-84923 and H11-164931.

According to said prevention system, which prevents a thrown ball falls into the channels, the bars change to the blocking position with players such as small children, who do not they can control the ball well, and change to the retracted position with more physically developed teenage players.

Therefore, even if a ball thrown by child players who cannot control the direction of it moves to a channel, the bars change to the blocking position in order to prevent said ball from falling into the channels, retaining it on the track, so that, consequently, the Ball rolls towards bowling and knocks down some of them. In other words, even children are able to tear down part of Bowling and score.

The bars change to the retracted position with non-child players, so that the balls thrown at the channels will fall directly into them without being blocked

The fact that said prevention system, which prevents a thrown ball from falling into the channels, allow the Children always knock down some bowling and punctuate them to keep interest in the game In addition, children are able to play with teenagers and older players on the same track, so who can enjoy family outings to go bowling and get involved in them.

Likewise, the following systems: a system configured so that some bars move vertically simultaneously between a position lock and a retracted position, located inferiorly with with respect to said blocking position (reference is made to Japanese patent application publications not examined numbers H10-151235 and 2002-65933), and a system configured so that the channels rotate towards the track around axes parallel to the longitudinal direction of said clue (reference is made to the request publication of Japanese unexamined patent number H 10-506031). Both systems have the same function as the system described previously. US-A-3 documents 046 012, US-A-4 330 122, US-A-5 529 542 disclosed various prevention systems that prevent a ball thrown Fall in the channels.

Patent document 1 : Japanese unexamined patent application number H7-155424. Patent document 2 : Japanese unexamined patent application number H9-84923. Patent document 2 : Japanese unexamined patent application number No. H11-164931. Patent document 2 : Japanese unexamined patent application number H10-151235. Patent document 2 : Japanese unexamined patent application number No. 2002-65933. Patent document 2 : Japanese unexamined patent application number H10-506031.

However, conventional devices of prevention that prevent a thrown ball from falling into the channels they are totally adequate to maintain the interest of children in the bowling game and allow them to enjoy family outings to go bowling, since these children can see that bars prevent the ball they have thrown from falling into one of the channels, so that they perceive that they are capable of knocking down bowling thanks to such prevention devices, and not their own ability.

An objective of the present invention, which is derives from the circumstances described above, is to arrange of a bowling game system that prevents a thrown ball from falling in one of the channels without the players perceiving it.

Description of the invention

In order to obtain the stated objective above, the present invention comprises a ball thrown by the players, a bowling game system equipped with an area of approach in which players throw the ball, a clue that extends from the approach zone and through which the ball rolls launched by the players, a plurality of bowling arranged in the end of the runway opposite the approach zone, channels with concavity shape arranged on both sides of the track to receive the balls that leave that track, and being characterized said bowling game system by the fact that a plurality of first permanent magnets are integrated in said ball, having its faces on the surface of the ball the same polarity, and characterized by being also equipped with a mechanism of change of direction of trajectory to prevent the ball from falling in one of the channels through the action of the magnetic force on the first magnets of the ball that rolls down the track, to effects of producing force of attraction or magnetic repulsion.

According to said bowling game system, when the players throw the ball in which the plurality of first permanent magnets, the magnetic force of the mechanism of change of direction of trajectory or acts on said first permanent magnets, which are attracted or repelled, of so the ball keeps rolling down the track towards the bowling, preventing it from falling into one of the channels.

Also, because the magnetic force of the mechanism of change of direction of trajectory is invisible, the players do not perceive that said magnetic force prevents the ball fall into the channels, so that these players believe they have been able to throw the ball into bowling and knock them down same.

In this way, the bowling game system according to the present invention allows even children who cannot control well the direction of throwing the ball follow punctuating, ensuring that some of the bowling will be knocked down, and it allows children to get the impression that their ability as Bowlers has improved, so that they can enjoy family outings to go bowling without losing interest in the game.

It should be noted that the mechanism of change of path-offset can be configured with a plurality of integrated permanent second magnets longitudinally in the middle part of the track, so that its faces along the surface of the track have a polarity opposite to that of the faces of the first magnets on the surface of the ball, or it may be configured with a plurality of electromagnets arranged instead of the second magnets permanent so that, similarly, the faces of electromagnets along the surface of the track have a polarity opposite to that of the faces of the first magnets in the ball surface, and with power supply means electrical to supply electrical energy to electromagnets to effects of magnetizing them.

In such a configuration, the plurality of second permanent magnets or electromagnets integrated in the track attract the first permanent magnets of the ball, so that the ball moves towards the center of said track, and said Ball rolls towards bowling without falling into the channels.

In addition, the bowling game system may have a configuration that is also provided with detection means position to detect the position of the ball according to the width of the track, in position detection locations arranged to effects of being in a one-to-one relationship with respect to electromagnets, and be closer to the approach zone than corresponding electromagnets, and control means for control the means of supply of electrical energy, for the purpose of supplying electric power to electromagnets to magnetize them for a fixed period of time, depending on which of the position detection locations has been detected the position of the ball, when it is determined that said ball is in predetermined track limitation zones, confirming whether the ball is or is not present in the zones, from the position of said ball in the position detection locations, being in turn detected the position by the detection means of position.

In this configuration, the fact that the ball whether or not it is in the track limitation zones (i.e. the ball is or is not rolling in these areas) is confirmed from of the position of the ball in the detection locations of position, the position of said ball being detected in turn by the position sensing means, and the electromagnets are magnetized when it is determined that the ball is in the zones, of so that the direction of the trajectory of the ball, for example, rolling through the center of the track, be modified inappropriately by the magnetic force of electromagnets.

A configuration in the that the bowling game system is also equipped with means of detection to detect the position according to the direction of the width, travel speed and direction of the trajectory of the ball on the track, near the end of the zone approach, far from one of the electromagnets closest to the end of the approach zone, and of control means for control the means of gas supply for synchronization purposes, based on the speed of the ball detected by the means of detection, the power supply when the ball passes to through the area where the magnetic force of the electromagnets acts on said ball, in order to supply the electromagnets the electrical energy to be magnetized over a fixed period of time, depending on the determination which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, predicting, based on the position and direction of the ball's trajectory detected by the detection means, the trajectory of displacement of said ball, to confirm, based on the predicted travel path, if the ball will move or will not move into the areas of limitation of default track.

In this configuration, the position according to the width direction, travel speed and direction of the trajectory of a ball that rolls down the track are detected by the detection means, and the supply means Electric power are controlled by the control means, based on position, path direction and Ball travel speed detected. It will be understood that the fact of detecting the position of the ball in two locations, for example, allows you to detect the address of the trajectory of said ball based on the positions of the ball detected and in the distance between the two locations.

That is, the trajectory of displacement of the ball based on the position and direction of the  trajectory of the ball detected, and it is confirmed if said ball is will move or not move into the areas of track limitation from the travel path predicted to determine which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, before the given magnet is magnetized, in synchronization with the passage of the ball, based on the speed of The detected ball.

For example, in the case where, from the predicted displacement path, it is confirmed that the ball will move into the track limitation zones (will enter them) near one of the electromagnets, arranged third from the end of the zone of approximation, said third magnet is magnetized, and according to the needs, the second and fourth magnets are also magnetized,  so that the ball is prevented from moving into said track limitation zones (which enter them). By therefore, also in this way, as described previously, the electrical energy of electromagnets is exerted on the first magnets of the ball only in case necessary.

In addition, the mechanism of change of direction of trajectory can be configured with a plurality of seconds permanent magnets arranged longitudinally on the sides track exteriors, or longitudinally integrated into the edges of it, so that the faces of said second magnets permanent opposite to the ball (that is, the faces along the track or its surface) have the same polarity as the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, or it can be configured with a plurality of electromagnets arranged in place of the second magnets so that, so similar, the faces of the electromagnets opposite the ball (it is say, the faces along the track or its surface) have the same polarity as the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, and with means of supply of electric power to supply electric power to electromagnets in order to magnetize them.

If such configuration is adopted, the seconds permanent magnets or electromagnets arranged on the sides outside of the track or at the edges of it repel respectively the first permanent magnets of the ball to move said ball towards the center of said track, preventing the Ball fall into the channels. It should be noted that, for example, of advantageously, the second permanent magnets or the electromagnets are arranged longitudinally in a alternate configuration, on each side of the track, or are arranged facing each other along said track in pairs, being arranged a plurality of said pairs so longitudinal.

The bowling game system can also have a configuration provided in addition to position sensing means to detect the position of the ball according to the width of the track, in position detection locations arranged for the purpose of be in a one-to-one relationship with respect to electromagnets, and be closer to the end of the approach zone than corresponding electromagnets, and control means for control the means of supply of electrical energy, for the purpose of supplying electric power to electromagnets to magnetize them for a fixed period of time, when determined that the ball is in the track limitation zones predetermined along the area in which the electromagnets corresponding to the detection locations position, confirming whether or not the ball is present in the zones, from the position of the ball in the locations of position detection, being in turn the position of said ball by means of position detection.

If such a configuration is adopted, the confirmation of whether or not the ball is in the areas of predetermined track limitation along the area in which the electromagnets are arranged is carried out from the position of said ball in the position detection locations, the position of the ball being detected in turn by the means of position detection, and electromagnets being magnetized when it is determined that said ball is in the zones, so that effectively prevents the ball from being displaced in a timely manner by the magnetic force of electromagnets.

Also, a configuration in the that the control means control the means of supply of electric power, for the purpose of adjusting, depending on which of the position detection locations is detected in turn the position of the ball by the detection means of position, the electrical energy supplied to the electromagnets in correspondence with position detection locations for vary the magnetic force of said electromagnets so that the ball is guided to a predetermined part of the bowling.

In this configuration, depending on what position detection locations is detected in turn the position of the ball by the detection means, adjusts the supply of electrical energy to electromagnets in correspondence with position detection locations for vary the magnetic force of said electromagnets, so that the ball that rolls down the track is guided to the predetermined part of bowling, its position being controlled according to the width of the track by the adjustment of the magnetic force of electromagnets (it is say, on the first attempt, the ball is guided towards the center of bowling, and in a second attempt, said ball is guided towards bowling that remain in an upright position after the first tried).

For example, when a ball is rolling by a first edge of the court, said ball is moved towards the center of the track increasing the electric power supplied to several of the electromagnets arranged along the first edge, and the ball keep rolling along the first edge of the track reducing the electrical energy of several of the electromagnets arranged at along the first edge (i.e. stopping the discharge of energy electric), or when the ball is rolling down the center of the track, said ball is moved towards the first edge of the court increasing the electric power supplied to several of the electromagnets, as opposed to the path of travel of the ball, in order to create more magnetic force of said electromagnets, and said ball keeps rolling down the center of the track reducing to zero the electrical energy supplied to the electromagnets

The fact of guiding a ball in this way it allows children to always tear down most of the bowling, and sometimes get a semi-full or a full. Also, even if the Children play bowling with non-child players on the same track, they will be able to obtain a high score that is comparable favorably with those players not children, so that they can enjoy family outings for go bowling competing as players of the same level and without lose interest in the game

Also, the bowling game system can have a configuration equipped with detection means for detect position according to width direction, speed of displacement and direction of the trajectory of the ball in the track, near the approach area, far from one of the electromagnets closest to the end of the approach zone, and of control means to control the means of supply of electrical energy, in order to synchronize, based on the speed of the ball detected by the detection means, the electric power supply when the ball passes through the area in which the magnetic force of electromagnets acts on said ball, in order to supply the electromagnets with the energy electrical to be magnetized for a period of time fixed, depending on the determination of which of the electromagnets it will be magnetized, the determination being carried out predicting, to from the position and direction of the trajectory of the ball detected by the detection means, the trajectory of displacement of said ball, to confirm, from the predicted travel path, if the ball will move or will not move into one of the limitation zones default track.

If such a configuration is adopted, the position according to the width direction, the speed of displacement and direction of the trajectory of the rolling ball by the track are detected by the detection means, and the electric power supply means are controlled by control means, that is, the trajectory of displacement of the ball from the position and direction of the trajectory of the ball detected, and it is confirmed if said ball is will move or not move into the areas of track limitation from the travel path predicted to determine which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, before the given magnet is magnetized, in synchronization with the passage of the ball, based on the speed of The detected ball. Therefore, as described previously, magnetization is carried out only in case necessary.

Also, the control means may be configured to control the power supply means electrical, in order to synchronize, based on the speed of the ball detected by the detection means, the supply of electrical energy when the ball passes through the area in which the magnetic force of the electromagnets acts on said ball, so that the electrical energy by which the force is obtained Magnetic necessary be supplied to said electromagnets, depending on the determination of which of the electromagnets will be magnetized and the amount of magnetic force that is necessary to this, in order to alter the actual displacement path to guide her to a predetermined part of the bowling, taking  carry out the determination by predicting, from the position and direction of the trajectory of the ball detected by said means of detection, the path of travel of said ball, to effects of relying on the predicted displacement path.

In this configuration, the trajectory of Ball displacement is predicted from the position and direction of the trajectory of the ball detected, and determined, based on the predicted displacement path, which of the electromagnets will be magnetized and the amount of magnetic force that it is necessary for this, in order to alter the trajectory of actual displacement to guide it to the default zone of  boluses, before the given electromagnet is magnetized, in synchronization with the moment in which the ball passes through the area in which the determined magnetic force acts on the first permanent magnets of said ball, based on the speed of the ball detected, in order to obtain an effect like that described previously.

In addition, the mechanism of change of direction of path can be set with two second magnets arranged permanent facing each other on the outer sides of the track, the polarity of the faces of said seconds being permanent magnets along the track the same as that of the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, and with drive means to move the seconds permanent magnets along the track, supporting them time, being able to have the bowling game system a configuration provided in addition to speed detection means for detect the speed of movement of the ball near the end of the approach zone, far from the fields in which the second permanent magnets can scroll through sliding, and control means to control the mechanism of actuation to move the second permanent magnets, to the same rhythm as the ball, from near the end of the zone of approach to bowling, at a speed corresponding to the speed of the ball detected by the detection means of speed.

In these settings, when players they throw the ball down the track and said ball rolls down said track towards bowling, the speed of movement of the ball is detected by the speed detection means, and the means of drive are controlled by the control means, so that permanent magnets are displaced from near the end of the approach area towards bowling, in order to maintain the same rhythm as the ball, at a speed corresponding to the travel speed of said detected ball.

In this way, the magnetic force (the force of magnetic repulsion) of the second permanent magnets is always exerted on the first permanent magnets of the ball to guide said ball towards the center of the court, so that more safely prevents the ball from falling into the channels.

It should be noted that the mechanism of change of path direction can be configured with two electromagnets arranged in place of the two second magnets permanent, being the polarity of the faces of the electromagnets along the track the same as the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of the ball, means of electric power supply to supply electric power to the electromagnets in order to magnetize them, and means of drive to move said electromagnets along the track, supporting them at the same time, and being configured the control means in order to control the means of drive to move the electromagnets from near the end of the approach area towards bowling, so that said electromagnets maintain the same rhythm as the ball, at a speed in correspondence with the speed of said ball detected by the speed detection means, and being configured at the same time in order to control the means of electric power supply to supply electric power to the two electromagnets in order to magnetize them.

In these configurations, under the control of control means, electrical power supply means supply the electric power to the electromagnets, to magnetize said electromagnets continuously or intermittently, in order to repel the first permanent magnets, while the Electromagnets are moving. Therefore, it prevents the ball on the track fall into the channels. It should be noted that the Continuous magnetization is preferable, since it prevents the ball fall on one of the channels more securely compared to The magnetization continues.

Also, the bowling game system can be provided in addition to position detection means to detect  the position of the ball according to the width of the track, in a plurality of position detection locations arranged in parallel to said track, and the control means may be configured to control the means of supply of electric power to power at least any of the electromagnets so that it is magnetized during a period of fixed time, depending on which of the zones of default track limitation the position of the ball, when it is determined that said ball is in the areas of predetermined track limitation, confirming if the ball is or it is not present in said zones, from the position of said ball in position detection locations, being detected at turn the position of the ball by the detection means of position.

In this case, at least any of the electromagnets is magnetized depending on which of the zones of track limitation the position of the ball is detected, when determines that said ball is in the track limitation zones, confirming whether or not the ball is present in these areas, to from the position of said ball in the detection locations of position, being in turn detected the position of the ball by the position sensing means, so that, as it has been explained above, it effectively prevents the ball that roll down the center of the track be guided in an untimely way towards the channels by the magnetic force of the electromagnets.

In addition, the control means may be configured to adjust, depending on the position of the ball in position detection locations, detected in turn by the position sensing means, the power supplied to electromagnets in order to vary their magnetic force so that the ball is guided to a predetermined part of the bowling.

In such a configuration, depending of the position of the ball in the detection locations of position, detected in turn by the detection means of position, the electric power supplied to the electromagnets to vary the magnetic force of said electromagnets, so that said ball that rolls along the track follows rolling, being guided at the same time to the predetermined part of bowling due to the adjustment of the magnetic force.

For example, when the ball is rolling by a first edge of the court, said ball is moved towards the center of the track providing more electrical power to one of the electromagnets arranged along the first edge to create more magnetic force and simultaneously reducing energy to zero power supplied to one of the electromagnets arranged at along a second edge (that is, stopping the discharge of electrical energy) to stop the generation of magnetic force, and the ball keeps rolling along the first edge of the track reducing to zero electric power supplied to electromagnets to stop the generation of magnetic force, or when said ball is rolling down the center of the track, the ball is moved towards the first edge of the track providing more electric power to one of the electromagnets arranged along the second edge of opposite the path of movement of the ball, to effects of creating more magnetic force and simultaneously reducing to zero the electric power supplied to one of the electromagnets arranged along the first edge to stop the generation of magnetic force, and said ball continues to roll by the center of the track reducing electrical energy to zero supplied to electromagnets to stop the generation of magnetic force Therefore, also in this way, you get a effect as described above.

Also, the bowling game system can be provided with detection means to detect the position  according to the width direction and path direction of the ball on the track, near the end of the area approach, far from the fields in which electromagnets they can move by sliding, and the control means may be configured to control the means of electric power supply to supply electric power to electromagnets so that they are magnetized while said electromagnets are moving, depending on the determination of along what interval with respect to the orientation in which electromagnets move will lead to out the magnetization, and which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, the determination being made by predicting, from the position and direction of the trajectory of said ball detected by the detection means, the displacement path of the ball, to confirm, from the path of travel predicted, if said ball will move or not move towards inside the predetermined track limitation zones.

In this case, the position according to the direction of the width, travel speed and direction of the trajectory of the ball that rolls along the track are detected by the detection means, and power supply means electrical are controlled by the control means to adjust the Electric power supplied to the electromagnets.

That is, the displacement path of the ball is predicted from the position and direction of the trajectory of said ball detected, and it is confirmed if the ball is will move or not move into the areas of track limitation from the travel path predicted, in order to determine along what interval will carry out the magnetization, and which of the electromagnets will be magnetized (that is, along which of the edges will be magnetized any of the electromagnets), before the determined electromagnet is magnetized while traveling in the determined interval. This allows to obtain an effect such as previously described.

In addition, the control means may be configured to control the power supply means electric, in order to supply the electromagnets with energy electrical by which the magnetic force is obtained necessary, while said electromagnets move in a predetermined interval, depending on the determination of at along what interval with respect to the orientation in which it move the electromagnets the magnetization will take place, which of the electromagnets will be magnetized and the amount of force magnetic that is necessary for this, in order to alter the actual travel path to guide it towards the part bowling default, predicting, from the position and direction of the trajectory of the ball detected by the means of detection, the path of travel of said ball for purposes based on the predicted displacement path.

If the control means are configured of this way, the ball's trajectory of travel is predicted from the position and direction of the trajectory of said ball detected, and over what interval the magnetization, which of the electromagnets will be magnetized and the amount of magnetic force that is necessary for this purpose of altering the actual displacement path to guide it towards the default part of bowling, before the electromagnet determined to be magnetized while traveling in the interval determined, and the necessary magnetic force acts on the first permanent magnets of the ball, so that you get a effect as described above.

In addition, the mechanism of change of direction of path is configured with address change means of trajectory endowed with a plurality of parts that exert force magnetic comprising a first and a second electromagnets, in pairs, and integrated longitudinally in the track or arranged longitudinally outside said track, and means of electric power supply to supply electric power to the electromagnets of the direction change means of trajectory, the first electromagnets of the means of changing direction of trajectory so that their faces opposite to the ball (the faces along the surface of the track or of said track) have a polarity opposite to the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, the second electromagnets being configured so that their faces opposite to the ball (the faces along the surface of the track or of that track) have the same polarity as the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, and being able to have the bowling game system a gifted configuration in addition to position detection means to detect position of the ball according to the width of the track, in detection locations of position arranged for the purpose of being in a relationship of one to one with respect to the parts that exert magnetic energy, and be closer to the end of the approach zone than parts exerting corresponding magnetic force, and means of control to control the means of power supply in order to supply electricity to any of the first and second electromagnets of the parts that exert magnetic force in correspondence with position detection locations for that is magnetized for a fixed period of time, depending in which of the track limitation zones the position of the ball, when it is determined that said ball is in the track limitation zones, confirming whether or not the ball is present in said zones, from the position of said ball in position detection locations, being detected in turn the position of the ball by means of position detection.

In these settings, when players they throw the ball down the track and said ball rolls down said track, the ball position in position detection locations is in turn detected by the position detection means, and the gas supply means are controlled by the means of control, based on the position of the ball in the locations of position detection, so that the electrical energy is supplied to any of the first and second electromagnets in correspondence with said position detection locations.

Specifically, any of the first and second electromagnets of the parts that exert magnetic force is magnetized to prevent the ball from falling into the channels, depending on which of the track limitation zones is detected the position of the ball, when it is determined that said ball is in the track limitation zones, confirming from the position of the detected ball if said ball is or is not present in these areas.

For example, when the ball that rolls by the track moves (is attracted) to the parts that exert force magnetic, the first electromagnets are powered with energy electric to attract the first permanent magnets of the ball, and when the ball that rolls along the track moves away (separates) from the parts that exert magnetic force, the second electromagnets are powered by electric power to repel the first magnets permanent of the ball.

A configuration in the that the control means control the means of supply of electrical energy for the purpose of adjusting, depending on which of the position detection locations is detected in turn the position of the ball by means of position detection, the electric power supplied to the electromagnets of the parts that exert magnetic force in correspondence with the locations of position detection, in order to vary the magnetic force of the electromagnet so that the ball is guided towards the part Bowling default.

In such a configuration, the ball follows rolling, being guided at the same time to the predetermined part  of bowling by magnetic force, which varies by adjusting, depending on which of the position detection locations the position of the ball is detected in turn by the means of position detection, the electrical energy supplied to the first and second electromagnets of the parts that exert magnetic force, so that an effect like the one described is obtained previously.

In addition, the mechanism of change of direction of path is configured with address change means of trajectory endowed with a plurality of parts that exert force magnetic comprising a first and a second electromagnets in pairs, and integrated longitudinally in the track or arranged longitudinally outside said track, and means of electric power supply to supply electric power to the electromagnets of the direction change means of trajectory, the first electromagnets of the means of changing direction of trajectory so that their faces opposite to the ball (the faces along the surface of the track or on that track) have a polarity opposite to the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, and the second electromagnets being configured so that their faces opposite to the ball (the faces along the surface of the track or on that track) have the same polarity as the faces of the first permanent magnets on the surface of said ball, and being able to have the bowling game system a gifted configuration in addition to detection means to detect, near the area of approach, far from one of said electromagnets closest to the end of approach zone, position according to direction of width, travel speed and direction of the trajectory of the ball on the track, and control means for control the means of gas supply for synchronization purposes, based on the speed of the ball detected by the means of detection, the power supply when the ball passes to through the area where the magnetic force of the electromagnets acts on said ball, to supply energy electromagnets so that they are magnetized during a fixed period of time, depending on the determination of which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, carrying out the determination predicting, from the position and direction of the  trajectory of the ball detected by the detection means, the travel path of said ball, to confirm, to from the predicted displacement path, if the ball is will move or not move into the areas of default track limitation.

In these configurations, the position according to the width direction, travel speed and direction of the trajectory of the ball that rolls down the track are detected by the detection means, and the supply means of gas are controlled by the control means, ie predicts the trajectory of movement of the ball from the position and direction of the trajectory of said ball detected, and it is confirmed if the ball will move or not move towards the interior of the track limitation zones from the predicted displacement path, to determine which of the Electromagnets will be magnetized, before the given magnet be magnetized, in synchronization with the passage of the ball, based  in the speed of said detected ball. Therefore, you get an effect like the one described above.

In addition, the control means may be configured to control the means of supply of electrical energy to synchronize, based on the speed of the ball detected by the detection means, the supply of electrical energy when said ball passes through the area in the that the magnetic force of the electromagnets acts on the ball, so that the electrical energy through which the necessary magnetic force be supplied to the electromagnets, depending on the determination of which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, and the amount of magnetic force that is necessary for this, in order to alter the trajectory of displacement real to guide her to the default part of bowling, carrying out the determination predicting the trajectory of displacement of the ball from the position and direction of the trajectory of said ball detected by the detection means, a effects of relying on the path of travel predicted

In such a configuration, the The ball's trajectory of travel is predicted from the position according to the width direction and the direction of the trajectory of said ball on the track, detected by the means of detection, and is determined, based on the trajectory of predicted displacement, which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, and the amount of magnetic force that is necessary to this, in order to alter the actual displacement path to guide her to the default part of bowling, before that the given electromagnet be magnetized in synchronization with the passage of the ball, based on the travel speed of said ball detected by the detection means, and the force determined magnetic acts on the first permanent magnets of the ball, so that an effect as described is obtained previously.

Also, in order to magnetize the electromagnets, the control means are arranged and configured  preferably so that the determination of what moves they are in the power supply means activated during the game is based on certain handicaps that depend on the skill of the players, before the progress of the game is controlled, to allow the means of power supply electrical supply electric power to electromagnets when The players throw the ball in the plays.

The fact of always preventing the ball from falling into the channels and guide at all times that ball makes the players always get a high score regardless of their ability. This can have an opposite effect to what is intends, since it is possible that there is a loss of interest in the game. Therefore, if the determination of what moves electrical power supply means are activated based in handicaps that depend on the ability of the players, and the electric power supply means supply the electric power to electromagnets only in plays determined, the actual ability of the players is evaluated for seemingly match their skill, allowing them in this way Enjoy a real competition during the game.

In a bowling game, the score increases depending on the number of times players get a full consecutively and the amount of bowling they knock down in their first attempt after the play they get a semipleno, as well as the total number of bowling that knock down in every play Therefore, even if players get a full or a semi-full thanks to the action of the help system in an assisted play, your scores do not always increase depending on the results (full, semipleno or open play) before and after assisted play. That is, even if it is avoided that the ball falls into the channels and it is guided, the Player score is variable, which allows such players enjoy bowling and avoid them lose interest in the game

Problem that the invention intends to solve

According to the present invention, provided with the configuration described above, the magnetic force of the permanent magnets and electromagnets prevents a ball from falling in one of the channels without the players perceiving it, so that these players can enjoy family outings to go to bowling without losing interest in the game.

Figure 4 shows a schematic block diagram of the configuration that includes a system control system bowling game according to said embodiment. And figure 5 is a view front schematically showing a configuration of a section through a ball according to the first embodiment.

As shown in figures 1 to 3, the system of bowling game 1 according to the present embodiment comprises a ball b launched by players, an approach zone 2 in the that players throw said ball b, a track 3 that extends from approach zone 2 and where the ball b rolls, ten boluses 5 arranged at the end of said runway 3 opposite said Approach zone 2, concave shaped channels 4, 4 arranged parallel to both sides of track 3 and guides 20 to drive the ball b along track 3 towards a part default of boluses 5, said system being configured bowling set 1 for a plurality of sets of said systems arranged adjacently, and being radially integrated a plurality of permanent magnets b1 in said ball b, having their faces the same polarity and being aligned on the surface of the ball b.

A separator 6, arranged between the channels adjacent 4, 4, separates the game areas configured by the track 3 and said channels 4, 4. A separation wall 7, arranged between adjacent channels 4, 4, near the area where they are arranged bowling 5, also separates the play areas. A front cover 8 is arranged on track 3, between the walls 7, 7, and the pins 5 are arranged in said track 3, in the  space divided by said front cover 8 and said walls 7, 7.

In each zone divided by walls 7, 7 and the front cover 8, a bowling distributor 10 and a bowler 11, and runway 3 extends to the area in which is arranged a collection / return unit 9 to collect the ball b that is rolling on said track 3 or on channel 4 and the bowling 5 ejected from runway 3, and return them to the zone of Approach 2 and the bowling distributor 10, respectively.

The bowling distributor 10 is a device which moves up and down to place bowling 5 vertically on runway 3, and bowling ejector 11 is a device for removing the boluses 5 that remain on track 3 or in channel 4 to the collection / return unit 9. The distributor of bowling 10 and bowling ejector 11 are controlled by a controller 40 for the purpose of operating synchronously between yes.

Specifically, with the 10 boluses 5 arranged vertically on track 3, players throw a ball on its first attempt, and said ball reaches the unit of collection / return 9, when the bowling distributor 10 moves down to pick up the 5 boluses that are still upright on track 3, then moving upwards with said bowling 5 fastened. As shown in Figure 4, the bowling distributor 10 is provided with a bowling detector 30, which detects the amount of boluses that are held (the number of bowling that remain in an upright position) and the number of bowling that remain in an upright position (bowling positions that remain in an upright position).

       \ global \ parskip0.900000 \ baselineskip
    

Then the bowling distributor 10 holds several of the boluses 5, the bolt ejector 11 is activated to expel all 5 bowling that have been knocked down on the track 3 and on channels 4 towards the collection / return unit 9, and subsequently said bowling distributor 10 moves towards below to place the boluses 5 fastened on said track 3, before have the bowling distributor move up to complete  the distribution of bowling after the first attempt of the players.

When players throw the ball b in their second attempt, and it reaches the collection / return unit 9, the bowler ejector 11 is activated to eject all boluses 5 remaining on track 3 and on channels 4 towards said unit of pick-up / return 9, moving down the bowling distributor 10 to place the 10 bowling 5 on runway 3, before said bowling distributor moves up to complete the bowling distribution after the second players attempt (before their first attempt).

On the other hand, when the bowling distribution after the first attempt of the players, if the bowler 10 does not hold any bolus 5, that is, if a full is obtained, the bolt ejector 11 is activated to eject the 5 downed bowling pins present on the track 3 and on channel 4 towards the collection / return unit 9, and a then the bowling distributor 10 moves down to place the ten boluses 5 on runway 3, before said bowling distributor 10 scroll up to complete the Bowling distribution.

The guides 20 are configured with a plurality of integrated electromagnets 21 according to the direction of the width at the edges of track 3, a power supply 22 to supply electrical energy to the plurality of electromagnets 21, and whose activation is controlled by controller 40, and a position detection mechanism 23 to detect in a plurality of locations along track 3 the position of the ball b according to the width of said track 3. It should be noted that the plurality of electromagnets 21 and power supply 22 they function as the mechanism of change of direction of trajectory to referenced in the patent claims.

The electromagnets 21, which are arranged facing each other at the edges of the track, in pairs, with a plurality of said pairs arranged in parallel to said track 3, are configured so that the faces of said electromagnets to along the surface of track 3 they have the same polarity that the faces of the permanent magnets b1 on the surface of the ball b, that is, the electromagnets are configured for the purpose of repel the permanent magnets b1 of said ball b when they are It supplies electric power to magnetize them. The pairs of electromagnets 21 are called first electromagnets 21a, seconds electromagnets 21b, third electromagnets 21c, quarters electromagnets 21d and fifth electromagnets 21e, from the pair more close to the approach zone 2.

The position detection mechanism 23 is equipped with a plurality of position detection detectors 24 integrated according to the width of the track 3, and comprises a switch of proximity as a set, a plurality being arranged of these sets in order to be closer to the area of Approach 2 than the corresponding pairs of electromagnets 21. Also, one of the sets of detectors detecting position 24 is arranged between the set in correspondence with the electromagnet 21 closer to the approach zone 2 and said approach zone 2.

Detector detector sets of position 24 are called first row of detectors 24a, second row of detectors 24b, third row of detectors 24c, fourth row of detectors 24d, fifth row of detectors 24e and sixth row of detectors 24f, from the row of detectors closest to the approach zone 2, and the second row of detectors 24b, third row of detectors 24c, fourth row of detectors 24d, fifth row of detectors 24e and sixth row of detectors 24f are correspond to the first nozzles 21a, second nozzles 21b, third nozzles 21c, fourth nozzles 21d and fifth nozzles 21e, respectively.

As Figure 4 shows, controller 40 it is provided with a machine controller 41, a device of score calculation 42, storage media score 43, a score indicator 44, a guide execution processor 45, player data storage media 46 and media storage of execution data 47, and said controller of machine 41 controls the activations of the bowling distributor 10, the bolt ejector 11, the pick-up / return unit 9 and the guides 20 (power supply 22).

Player data storage media 46 are a functional part for storing the input data of players from an external input unit 32, such such as name, sex, age, handicap and personal data, and order of game of the players who use a certain track.

The scoring device 42 reads player data from data storage media of player 46 to recognize your personal data and the order of game, receive control data from machine controller 41 to recognize the progress of the game, receive data from bowling 5 that knock down each player to calculate individual scores, and stores the data of the calculated scores and the data of Players in storage media score 43.

The score indicator 44 reads the individual scores and personal data of the players stored on storage media scoring 43, a effects of indicating them in a display unit 31, such as a screen. The display unit 31 is installed in a location where players can see directions from a waiting area, near the approach zone 2 (for example, at a location above said waiting area) so that said players can check these indications in said unit of visualization 31 to know the progress of the game and its scores.

       \ global \ parskip1.000000 \ baselineskip
    

The guide execution processor 45 recognizes player handicaps stored in the media of player data storage 46 to determine, based on the recognized handicaps, in which moves the guides are activated 20 (power supply 22) during the game, and subsequently controls the progress of the game to lead to out the process in which ball b is guided, when players they throw said ball in the determined plays.

Specifically, first of all recognize a player's handicap and game order, and to then the recognized handicap is compared with a table of data, in which the correlation between the handicap and the number of guided moves, as shown in figure 6, stored in the execution data storage media 47, in order to obtain the number of guided moves, determining in which moves the ball b is guided based on the number obtained

The data table shown in Figure 6 is introduced by the input unit 32 to be stored in means of storing execution data 47. For example, the guided moves in which the guided action is carried out can be determined by previously creating several patterns related to a combination of guided plays, so that one of them is randomly selected from such patterns, or using random numbers.

Subsequently, the instructions to start a game is transmitted to machine controller 41, to effects of allowing players to start the game. TO then the control data, which is received in any moment coming from machine controller 41, they are combined with game order information stored in the media of player data storage 46 for the purpose of controlling the game progress for players until the end of departure.

In certain guided plays as described above, the guiding action of the ball b is carried out based on a detection signal received in a manner sequential from the first row of detectors 24a, second row of detectors 24b, third row of detectors 24c, fourth row of 24d detectors, fifth row of detectors 24e and sixth row of 24f detectors. It should be noted that, on the first attempt of the players, ball b is guided towards the center of bowling 5, and in his second attempt, said ball b is guided towards bowling 5 which they have been upright after the first attempt.

First, the process will be explained in the players first attempt. As a consequence of displacement of the ball b, the detection signal is received from the first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b and, to then the position is recognized according to the direction of the width of the ball b that rolls on track 3, based on which of the position detection detectors 24 included in said first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b detects said ball b, in order to recognize which of the electromagnets 21 included in the first electromagnets 21a is closer to the ball b. Further, The magnitude of the change in the position of the ball is calculated at from the positions of said ball detected by the first and the second rows of detectors 24a, 24b, in order to obtain a direction of trajectory of ball b, based on the magnitude calculated of the change of the position of said ball and the distance longitudinal between the first and second rows of detectors in the lane 3, the speed of displacement of the ball b from the time difference in which the first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b carry carried out the detections, and from the distance between said first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b.

Subsequently, based on the position recognized and in the direction of trajectory and speed calculated, a control signal is sent to machine controller 41, so that a magnetic force is exerted in correspondence with said recognition on permanent magnets b1 of ball b by part of one of the electromagnets 21 (first electromagnets 21a) closest to said ball b, so that, under the control of machine controller 41, adjusted electrical power is supplied suitably to said nearest electromagnet 21, and the same It is magnetized.

It should be noted that the electric power is designed to be supplied after ball b passes to through the area where the first electromagnets 21a are integrated along track 3, and when said ball b passes to through said first integrated electromagnets 21a a calculation from the speed of movement of the ball b detected

Then as a result of displacement of the ball b, a detection signal is received coming from the third row of detectors 24c, and then recognize the position of the ball b according to the width of the track 3, based on the signal received from said third row of detectors 24c, in order to determine which of the electromagnets 21 included in the second electromagnets 21b is closer to said ball b, as described above. It also get a direction of trajectory by the positions of the ball detected in the second and third rows of detectors 24b, 24c, and the speed of movement of said ball b is calculated from of the time difference in which the second and third rows of detectors 24b, 24c carry out the detection.

As in the case of the first electromagnets 21, a control signal is sent to machine controller 41, based on recognized position, path direction obtained and calculated travel speed, so that the electrical energy in correspondence with such acknowledgments is applied to the permanent magnets b1 of the ball b, by means of one of the electromagnets 21 (second electromagnets 21b) closest to said ball b, and adjusted electrical energy is supplied from of the power supply 22 to said nearest electromagnet 21, and It is magnetized.

Subsequently, similarly, provided that a detection signal is received from the detector rows, the position of the ball b is recognized according to the width of the track 3, based on the signal from the fourth row of detectors 24d (or of the fifth and sixth rows of detectors 24e, 24f), being calculated the direction of the trajectory and the speed of the ball b, and one of the electromagnets 21 included in the third parties electromagnets 21c (or in the fourth or fifth electromagnets 21d, 21e) and which is closer to said ball b is fed with energy electrical and is magnetized, so that said electromagnet 21 exerts a magnetic force corresponding to the position according to the width direction, path direction and speed on the permanent magnets b1 of the ball b.

The electromagnets 21 are magnetized after that ball b passes through the area in which said electromagnets are integrated along track 3 of this way, so that the magnetic force that repels magnets permanent b1 of ball b acts on said ball b from behind with with respect to the direction of the trajectory of the ball b, said ball b moving as shown in figures 3 and 7, being guided at the same time so that, as a result, the same roll towards the center of track 3 (i.e., so that impact against the bowling center 5) your position according to the width of said track 3. In addition, the speed of Ball displacement b increases.

It should be noted that if the position of a ball detected by detector rows 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f is in the center of track 3, the magnetization of the electromagnets 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d and 21e.

Next, the process will be explained in the Second attempt of the players. Ball b is guided towards 5 boluses that remain upright by adjusting, based on the position according to the width direction, the direction of the trajectory and speed of movement of said ball b in the track 3, as well as in the data on the numbers of the bowling that remain in an upright position, the electrical energy coming of the power supply supplied to the electromagnets 21, for control the magnetic force acting on the magnets permanent b1 of the ball b.

For example, the ball b that rolls for a first edge of track 3 is moved towards the center of said track 3 under a control in which the magnetic force of one of the electromagnets 21 next to said first edge acts on said ball b, and the ball b that rolls along the center of track 3 is displaced towards one of the channels 4 under a control in which the force magnetic of one of the electromagnets 21 next to the other channel 4 acts on ball b, as opposed to the trajectory of displacement thereof, and in addition, said ball b is maintained rolling without changing its position under a control in which the force The electromagnetic magnet 21 does not act on the ball b.

It should be noted that, as described previously, the position detection mechanism 23 and the controller 40 function as the position sensing means to those referred to in the claims of the patent.

According to the bowling system 1 of the embodiment configured as set forth above, the plays  executed in a guided manner in which ball b is guided is determine for each player in the guide execution processor 45, based on the handicaps of the players introduced through the input unit 32 and stored in the media of player data storage 46, and then said Players can start a bowling game.

Subsequently, the execution processor of Guide 45 controls the progress of the game for each player for purposes to distinguish if a play in which each player throws the ball is or it is not one of the plays executed in a guided way, and to then activate guides 20 (power supply 22), magnetizing the electromagnets 21 so that the magnetic force of said electromagnets 21 acts on permanent magnets b1 of the ball b.

Therefore, even if the ball b thrown by track 3 rolls towards one of the channels 4, said ball b cannot fall into one of said channels 4, because the compressed gas discharged from the nozzles 21 changes the direction of the trajectory of the ball b, as well as the magnetic force of the electromagnets 21, which acts on permanent magnets b1 of said ball, before it falls on one of the channels 4, and Meanwhile, ball b is guided to move towards the center of the runway 3 according to the direction of its width (for the purpose of directing it towards the center of the bowling 5), impacting on the center of said bowling 5, and is guided to move towards the 5 pins that remain upright after first attempt of the players, impacting on said bowling 5. In addition, the speed of movement of the ball b increases, from so that the collision energy generated when said ball b impacts against bowling 5 also increases.

Also, because the magnetic force exerted by electromagnets 21 on permanent magnets b1 of ball b is invisible, players do not perceive that ball b is guided by compressed gas, so they believe they can control the ball b so that it rolls towards the 5 pins by themselves, knocking down those bowling 5.

Thus, according to the bowling game system 1 of the present invention, in addition to guiding the ball b, the magnetic force of the electromagnets 21 increases the speed of movement of said ball to increase the impact energy generated when the ball b hits the bowling 5, so that a child who cannot control the direction of throwing a ball or throwing it at a high speed is always able to knock down enough bowling 5, and sometimes get full and semi-full. Therefore, children believe that their ability as bowlers has progressed, and they can get a high score even if they play on the same track as non-child players, so that these children are able to enjoy family outings to go to bowling, competing with each other as players of the same level as non-child players, without losing interest in the
game.

Also, the determination of what moves are activated the guides 20 is based on the determined handicaps that they depend on the skill of the players, and said guides 20 are activated only on certain moves, so that the real skill of the players is evaluated to match apparently his skill, allowing them to enjoy A real competition during the game.

In a bowling game, the score increases depending on the number of times players get a full consecutively and the amount of bowling they knock down in their first attempt after the play they get a semipleno, as well as the total number of bowling that knock down in every play Therefore, even if players get a full or a semi-full thanks to the guides 20 of the guided plays, your scores do not always increase depending on the results (full, semi-open or open play) before and after the plays guided. That is, even if ball b is guided, the score of the players are variable, which allows these players enjoy the bowling game and prevent them from losing interest in the departure.

In addition, the fact of varying the magnetic force of the electromagnets 21, depending on the position according to the width direction, path direction and speed of ball b on track 3, makes it possible to guide so effective said ball b and increase the travel speed of the ball b.

Although previously described a embodiment of the present invention, the specific modes of the The present invention is not limited in any way to the example previous.

Although previously described a example of the configuration in which ball b is guided for purposes of rolling towards bowling 5, this example does not constitute any limitation, so that another configuration is possible in which the players throw the ball b on track 3 with all the magnetized electromagnets 21.

Such a configuration, in which the ball b is not guided, but in which at least it is avoided fall on one of channels 4, allow even children who are not able to control the direction of throwing a ball always knock down some of the 5 pins and can score. In addition to in the same way as in the previous example, children have the impression that your ability as bowlers has improved, so they can enjoy family outings to go play Bowling without losing interest in the game. It should be noted that it is possible to arrange permanent magnets, whose faces along the lane 3 have the same polarity as the faces of the electromagnets b1 of ball b arranged on the surface of said ball b, instead of the electromagnets 21.

The power supply 22 can be controlled through machine controller 41 so that the power electrical supply to the electromagnets 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d and 21e in correspondence with the rows of detectors 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, respectively, when the execution processor of guide 45, which confirms whether ball b is or is not in one of the predetermined areas of the edges of runway 3 (if the ball b is or is not rolling through one of the edge areas of the track 3), determines that said ball b is in position.

This prevents the ball b that rolls through the center of track 3 be guided in an untimely way to one of the channels 4 by the magnetic force of the electromagnets 21.

In this case, in order to confirm whether the ball b is or is not in one of the edge areas of track 3, the guide execution processor 45 can confirm next to what zone of the channels 4 is located the ball b, so that only one of the electromagnets 21 next to one of the channels 4 be activated, along the area where the ball position b.

A configuration in the that the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rows of detectors 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f are not present, and the execution processor of guide 45 calculates the direction of the trajectory and the speed of the ball b, from the position of said ball b, detected by the first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b, to predict the displacement trajectory of ball b, based on the position, path direction and speed of said ball b, and confirm, based on the path of travel predicted, if ball b will move or not move towards inside one of the predetermined areas of the edges of the lane 3, to determine which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, based on the predicted displacement path, the power supply 22 being controlled through the machine controller 41, based on the speed of displacement of the ball b, so that power is supplied electric to the electromagnet 21 determined to magnetize it for a fixed period of time, in sync with the moment in which ball b passes through the area in which it is arranged said electromagnet 21 determined along the track 3.

For example, in the case where the processor of guide execution 45 confirms, based on the trajectory of predicted displacement, that ball b enters one of the zones of the edges of the track 3, near the electromagnets 21c arranged thirdly from the approach zone 2, said third electromagnets 21c, and if necessary the second electromagnets 21b and the fourth electromagnets 21d, are magnetized to prevent said ball b from moving into one of the areas of the edges of track 3 (which enters it).

In addition, another one can also be adopted configuration, in which the guide execution processor 45 determines which of the electromagnets 21 will be magnetized and the amount of magnetic force needed for said electromagnet 21 determined, in order to change the path of travel current for another that leads to the default part of bowling 5, the magnet 21 being supplied with certain electrical energy in correspondence with the determined magnetic force, for the purpose of magnetize it, in synchronization with the moment when the ball b passes through the area in which said electromagnet is arranged 21 determined along track 3.

Although in the previous example the electromagnets 21 are arranged according to the width direction, facing each other each other at the edges of track 3, in pairs, being arranged a plurality of said pairs in parallel to said track 3, the configuration is not limited to that example, so that some electromagnets 51 (the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth nozzles, 51a, 51b, 51c, 51d, 51e, 51f) whose faces at along the surface of track 3 they have the same polarity as the faces of permanent magnets b1 on the surface of the ball b, may be arranged in parallel to said track 3, in a alternate configuration on each side, as shown in the Figure 8. In addition, it is possible to arrange permanent magnets, whose faces along the surface of track 3 have the same polarity than the faces of the permanent magnets b1 in the surface of the ball b, instead of the electromagnets 51.

Also, as shown in Figure 9, electromagnets 52 whose faces along the surface of the track 3 have the same polarity as the faces of the magnets permanent b1 on the surface of the ball b may be integrated in the center of track 3 according to the direction of your width, in parallel to the electromagnets 21, the magnetic force of electromagnets 51, 52 adjusting, based on the position of ball b, detected by the rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, the electrical energy coming from the power supply 22 supplied to said electromagnets 51, 52

If the electromagnets 52 are integrated in this way, the distance between the permanent magnets b1 of the ball b which rolls along track 3 and electromagnets 21, 52 is shortened, of so that the magnetic force of said electromagnets 21, 52 is effectively exerts on said ball b, which is guided in a manner more effective

In addition, as shown in Figure 10, a plurality of mechanisms exerting magnetic force 53 provided with a pair of electromagnets (the first, second, third, fourth and fifth mechanisms that exert magnetic force 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d, 53e, a from near the approach zone 2) may be integrated in parallel to track 3.

The mechanisms that exert magnetic force 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d and 53e are equipped with electromagnets 54a arranged to effects of being closer longitudinally with respect to bowling 5 than the second, third, fourth and fifth rows of detectors 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f corresponding, and ready to effects of being closer to the approach zone 2 than the 54b electromagnets, having their faces along the surface of track 3 the same polarity as the faces of the permanent magnets b1 on the surface of ball b, and the 54b electromagnets are arranged so as to be closer to the boluses 5 that the electromagnets 54a, having the faces of the themselves along the surface of track 3 a polarity opposite to that of the faces of the permanent magnets b1 in the surface of ball b, that is, electromagnets 54b are magnetized by electrical energy from the supply of energy 22 for the purpose of attracting said ball b.

Thus, the guide execution processor 45 controls the activation of the power supply 22 through the machine controller 41, for the purpose of adjusting, depending on the position of the ball b according to the width of the track 3, detected by the rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, the address of the trajectory and speed of movement of said ball b, calculated from the position of ball b, the energy power supplied by the power supply 22 to the mechanisms that exert magnetic force 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d and 53e

Specifically, the ball b that rolls through the center of track 3 is shifted to the first edge of said lane 3 supplying electric power to electromagnets 54a, depending on the detected position of ball b, so that said electromagnets 54a are magnetized during a period of fixed time in order to repel permanent magnets b1 of said ball b, and ball b that rolls on the first edge of track 3 is displaced towards the center of said track 3 supplying energy electric to electromagnets 54b, depending on position detected from ball b, so that said electromagnets 54b are magnetized for a fixed period of time in order to attract the permanent magnets b1 of said ball b.

At that time, with respect to magnetization of electromagnets 54a, after ball b passes through the area in which said electromagnets 54a are integrated, said magnetization is carried out for the purpose of exerting magnetic force on ball b, from the back with respect to the direction of the trajectory of said ball b, and with respect to the magnetization of electromagnets 54b, before ball b passes through the area in which said electromagnets are integrated 54b, said magnetization is carried out for the purpose of exercising magnetic force on ball b, from the front with with respect to the direction of the trajectory of said ball b. For the therefore, the position of the ball b is controlled according to the width of the track and at the same time increases the travel speed of said ball b.

In this case, the fact also applies that the execution processor 45 confirms from the position of ball b, detected sequentially by rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, if said ball b is or it is not in one of the predetermined areas of the edges of the lane 3, and when it is determined that ball b is in position, control the power supply 22 through the controller machine 41, so that, depending on which of the zones of track limitation is present the position of ball b, one of the electromagnets 54a, 54b of the mechanisms that exert force magnetic 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d and 53e in correspondence with the rows of detectors 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, respectively, be powered by electric power and magnetized for a period of fixed time.

A configuration in the that the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rows of detectors 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f of position sensing mechanism 23 are not present, and the guide execution processor 45 calculates the trajectory direction and velocity of ball b, from the position of said ball b, detected by the first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b, to predict the trajectory of displacement of ball b, based on position, direction of the trajectory and velocity of said ball b, and confirms, a split the predicted displacement path, if ball b is will move or not move into one of the zones default of the edges of track 3, to determine which of the electromagnets 54a, 54b of the mechanisms that exert force Magnetic 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d and 53e will be magnetized, controlling the power supply 22 through machine controller 41, of so that the compressed gas is supplied to one of the nozzles 60 determined, and is discharged while said determined nozzle 60 moves in the determined interval.

Also, the guide execution processor 45 may be configured for the purpose of determining, based on the predicted travel path, which of the electromagnets 54a, 54b of the mechanisms that exert magnetic force 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d and 53e will be magnetized and the amount of magnetic force necessary for the given electromagnet 53a, 53b to change the current displacement path by another that leads to the default part of bowling 5, and supply power electrical, which depends on the determined magnetic force, at electromagnet 54a, 54b determined, in order to magnetize said electromagnet 54a, 54b determined, in synchronization with the moment in which ball b passes next to the area in which it is arranged said electromagnet 54a, 54bc determined.

In addition, the mechanism that exerts magnetic force 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d and 53e can be integrated in the edge or in the outside of track 3, and not in the center of said track 3.

A configuration in the that a plurality of electromagnets and permanent magnets instead of the electromagnets 21 are longitudinally integrated in the center of track 3, so that the polarity of their faces at along the surface of said track 3 is opposite to that of the faces of the permanent magnets b1 on the surface of the ball b, of such that said ball b is prevented from falling into one of the channels 4, thanks to the magnetic force that attracts these permanent magnets b1 of ball b, however not having been said specific configuration

In this case, the guide execution processor 45 may be configured to confirm, from the position of ball b, detected sequentially by rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, if said ball b is or it is not in one of the predetermined areas of the edges of the lane 3, and when it is determined that ball b is in position, supply electric power to electromagnets in correspondence with the rows of detectors 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, so that said electromagnets are magnetized for purposes of attracting the permanent magnets b1 of the ball b.

Also, a configuration in which the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rows of detectors 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f of position sensing mechanism 23 are not present, and the guide execution processor 45 calculates the trajectory direction and velocity of ball b, from the position of said ball b, detected by the first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b, to predict the trajectory of displacement of ball b, based on position, direction of the trajectory and velocity of said ball b, and confirms, a split the predicted displacement path, if ball b is will move or not move into one of the zones default of the edges of track 3, to determine which of the electromagnets will be magnetized, supplying energy electrical to the given electromagnet, so that said electromagnet determined is magnetized for a fixed period of time to attract permanent magnets b1 of ball b, in sync with the moment in which said ball b passes next to said electromagnet determined.

In addition, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, a plurality of electromagnets 60 (60a, 60b, 60c, 60d and 60e) arranged facing each other through track 3 and channels 4, 4, on the separators, so that their faces along said track 3 have the same polarity as the faces of the magnets permanent b1 on the surface of ball b, may be arranged in parallel to track 3.

The electromagnets 60 (60a, 60b, 60c, 60d and 60e) they are supported by a support element arranged in the separators 6, and are located for the purpose of being located longitudinally closer to bowling 5 than the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth rows of detectors 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f corresponding. And, in order to control the magnetic force of electromagnets 60, as in the case of electromagnets 21, the Electric power is supplied by power supply 22 a said electromagnets 60 controlling said power supply 22

       \ newpage
    

It should be noted that it is possible to arrange magnets permanent whose faces along track 3 have the same polarity than the permanent magnets b1 of the ball b instead of the electromagnets 60; alternatively, electromagnets 60 and standing magnets facing each other may be arranged longitudinally, in an alternate configuration, in each track side 3.

In addition, it is possible to adopt a configuration in that the electromagnets 70 arranged facing each other to through track 3 and channels 4, 4, and whose faces along said track 3 have the same polarity as the permanent magnets b1 on the surface of the ball b, can be moved by sliding by drive mechanisms 71. The drive mechanisms 71 are provided with guides 72 arranged in parallel to track 3, on separators 6, elements sliders 73 to support the electromagnets 70, configured to effects of slidingly engaging said guides 72, ball screws 74 that can rotate axially, arranged in the dividers 6, in parallel with respect to said guides 72, nuts (not shown) screwed into said ball screws 74 and fixed to the displacement elements 73, and motors of drive 75 to rotate the ball screws axially 74, said ball screws 74 being rotated by said motors of drive 75 for the purpose of moving the nuts, that is, to effects of moving elements 73 along the guides 72.

In this configuration, the processor guide run 45 calculates the travel speed of the ball b from the position of said ball b according to the width of lane 3, detected by the rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, and controls, through machine controller 41, based on the calculated speed, the motor activation of drive 75 for the purpose of moving the elements of displacement 73 from near approach zone 2 towards bowling 5, in synchronization with the movement of the ball b, a a speed that depends on the calculated speed.

Also, provided that the rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f detect the position of the ball b according to the width of the track 3, the magnetic force and the speed of displacement of electromagnets 70 are adjusted, depending on the position according to the width direction, the path direction and travel speed of the ball b.

In this way, the displacement of electromagnets 70 along track 3 allows the force magnetic of said electromagnets 70 act on the magnets permanent b1 of ball b whenever necessary, so that said ball b is guided more effectively and its speed of displacement increases.

Also in this case, electromagnets 70 they can be displaced by sliding towards the 5 pins by the actuation mechanisms 71, being magnetized in a manner continuous or intermittent, avoiding at least that the ball b that roll down track 3 to fall on one of channels 4. You must Note that continuous magnetization is preferable, since prevents ball b from falling into one of channels 4 more sure that the magnetization continues.

In addition, the guide execution processor 45 can recognize, based on the position of ball b, detected sequentially by the rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, if said ball b is or is not in one of the zones default of the edges of track 3, in order to control power supply 22 through machine controller 41, so that electromagnets 70 are powered with energy electrical and are magnetized for a fixed period of time, when it is determined that ball b is in position.

In this case, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the guide execution processor 45 recognize next to which channel 4 is the position of ball b, magnetizing only electromagnet 70 along said channel 4 next to which it is recognized that the position of said ball b.

A configuration in the that the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rows of detectors 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f of position detection mechanism 26 are not present, and the guide execution processor 45 calculates the trajectory direction and velocity of ball b, from the position of said ball b, detected by the first and second rows of detectors 24a, 24b, to predict the trajectory of displacement of ball b, based on position, direction of the trajectory and velocity of said ball b, and confirms, a split the predicted displacement path, if ball b is will move or not move into one of the zones predetermined edges of track 3, to determine at along what interval with respect to the orientation in which it move the electromagnets 70 the magnetization will take place, and which of said electromagnets 70 will be magnetized, controlling the power supply 22 through machine controller 41, of so that the determined electromagnet 70 is powered electric and is magnetized, while said electromagnet 70 determined moves in the determined interval.

It is also acceptable that the processor of guide run 45 confirm, from the position of the ball b, detected sequentially by the rows of detectors 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e and 24f, if said ball b is or is not in one of the predetermined areas of the edges of track 3, for the purpose of control the power supply 22 through the controller machine 41, so that electromagnets 70 are fed with electrical energy and are magnetized over a period of time fixed, when it is determined that ball b is in position.

As described above, when a electromagnet repels permanent magnets b1 of ball b, said electromagnet is powered by electrical energy, in synchronization with the moment after said ball b passes through the zone wherein said electromagnet is arranged longitudinally, and when an electromagnet attracts the permanent magnets b1 of the ball b, said electromagnet is powered by electrical energy, in synchronization with the moment before said ball b passes to through the area in which said electromagnet is arranged longitudinally. However, when it is supplied electric power is not limited to the present example, so that electric power can be supplied when ball b passes to through the area where the electromagnet is arranged. In this case, although the speed of movement of the ball b does not increase, it controls the position of said ball b according to the width of the track 3.

In addition, the magnetic force of electromagnets 21, 51, 52, 54a, 54b and 70 (the electric power supplied to the electromagnets 21, 51, 52, 54a, 54b and 70) can be adjusted depending only on the position of the ball b according to the width of track 3, or of the position, direction of the trajectory and speed of said ball b. The direction of the trajectory of the ball b is an example, which will not be interpreted so limiting

It is also possible to adopt another configuration, in which the data of the mass of the ball b that use the players are stored in the storage media of player data 46, and the guide execution processor 45 recognizes the mass of said ball b, stored in said means of player data storage 46, in order to determine the magnetic force of electromagnets 21, 51, 52, 54a, 54b and 70 (the electric power supplied to the electromagnets 21, 51, 52, 54a, 54b and 70) and predict the trajectory of ball travel b.

It is possible to use any detector to detect the position, speed and direction of the trajectory of the ball b, provided that it can detect position, speed and path direction.
