JPH0339180A - Bowling pin bucket device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent pin guide bearing sections from being abraded by covering the peripheral sections of shafts for supporting bucket shoes with rotationally moving pin buckets, with collision-proof members. CONSTITUTION:A pin bucket 1 is prevented from being abraded due to collision, by covering the rotary shaft 3 of an abrasive bucket shoe 2 with a roughly U-shaped protective member 4. On all of ten pin buckets arranged at a bowling equipment, the protective members are fitted. As a result, by using abrasion resisting material such as iron or the like as collision-proof members, intervals for exchanging and repairing can be lengthened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a pin bucket device for arranging polling bins.

(Prior Art) A conventional boring device has a structure as shown in FIG. After pitching, the bins 12 remaining on the array bed 11 are moved by the sweeper 13 to the bit conveyor 1 at the rear of the device.
Sent to 4. The ball is sent to the ball return rail 16 by the ball lifter 15 and returned to the player side.

The bottles are transferred to the upper part of the apparatus by a bottle lifter 17 and stored in a pin bucket 20 of a distributor 19 by a bottle conveyor 18. Ten bottles are set in the pin bucket, and when preparations are completed, the bottles are dropped onto the bottle set deck 21 at the bottom.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the movement of a bin into a pin packet in a distributor. The bottles sent by the bottle conveyor 22 enter the pin bucket 23. When a bottle enters the pin bucket, it moves along the main rail. In this way, the bottles sent from the bottle conveyor are stored in pin packets one after another, and the movement is continued until the bottles are stored in all 10 pin buckets.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the pin bucket device. The bin 25 housed in the pin bucket 24 is supported by the pin bucket and bucket shoe 26. The bucket shoe 26 is rotated outward by the movement of the link 27, and becomes in the bottle dropping state as shown in FIG.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When the conventional polling device as described above is operated, the pin bucket shakes quite violently while the pin packet is moving, especially when passing around a corner where the path changes at a sharp angle. This causes contact with adjacent pin packets, causing wear of the contact portion.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the pin packet device. The pin bucket 30 is made of cast metal such as aluminum alloy. especially,
The periphery of the rotating shaft 32 of the bucket shoe 31, which is rotatably supported by a portion of the pin packet, tends to wear out quickly due to collisions with other pin packets during movement. For this reason, in the conventional device, the rotating support portion of the bucket shoe of the pin packet is particularly susceptible to wear, and maintenance such as replacement and repair requires a great deal of cost and time. The object of the present invention is to obtain a device that prevents this wear.

[Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention covers the periphery of the shaft supporting the rotating bucket shoe of the pin packet with a collision cover member. This prevents the pin guide support from being worn out.

(Example) FIG. 1 shows a pin packet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The pin bucket 1 covers the rotating shaft 3 of the bucket shoe 2, which is prone to wear, with a substantially U-shaped protection member 4 to prevent wear due to collisions. In this embodiment, this protective member is attached to all ten pin packets provided in the polling device.

[Effects of the Invention] The pin packet with a collision cover member of the present invention uses a wear-resistant material such as iron as the collision protection member, so that the interval between replacement and repair can be extended.

Further, since the collision protection member has a simple structure, it is inexpensive, and the pin packet can be used for a long period of time by replacing only the collision cover.
