Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 26, 1921.
Application filed December 14, 1917. Serial No. 209,175.
, matic Bowling Mechanism, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to bowling alleys and mechanism employed in connection therewith, the principal object of which is to provide automatic mechanism for collecting and setting the bowling pins and the balls after each play without any manual attention whatever.
In all bowling alleys the pins, ten in num-- ber, are arranged symmetrically in triangular form around a central p111, one corner or angle of the triangle being in the exact center of the alley and facing the players and the other two angles being oppositely disposed laterally of the alley. "Thus transversely of the alley would be four lines of pins with a single pin in the front line, two pins in the second, three in the third and four pins in the fourth and rear line, the pins in the several lines being staggered with respect to each other and the central pin in the third line being the center of the imaginary circular lines about which all of the other pins are arranged. Hence, the two pins in the second line, the two outer pins of the third line and the two innermost pins of the rear line are concentrically arranged 'about'the central pin at angles of 60 degrees, and the corner pins of thetriangle are arranged about the same axis in a larger circle and spaced at angles of 120 degrees.
Inorder to properly set forth the objects of my invention and describe the mechanism employed for carrying out the said objects, I have divided the set of ten pins into three separate classes, namely, the central, concentric ,and corner pins of the triangle, and advantage is taken of the concentric arrangement of the majority of the pins for collecting and subsequently setting all of the pins of the set. Another object, therefore, is to provide means for collecting all ofthe set, aftera lay is completed, in concentric order about t c axis of the triangle and on the circleof the six concentric pins, and for subsequently moving the central and corner pins of the trlangle lnto their respective playing positions with the normally concentric pins.
A further object is to provide means for collecting and automatically setting any number less than the whole number of the pins which may have been knocked down in a play, without in any manner disturbing or displacing the other pins.
A still further object is to provide means for conveying the displaced pins, usually termed deadwood, from the alley to a point immediately below the alley, for collooting and setting the pins beneath the alley' and for simultaneously raising all or any number of the displaced pins through the floor of the alley and properly spacing and deposlting the same thereupon for another play., v I
Another ob ect is to provlde selector means capable of automatic operation, wherebyv the operation of the pin setting mechanism may not be interrupted when one or' more of the pins may have been left in playing position on the alley floor previous to the setting operation, and by means of which the remaining pinsmay be collected and properly set as usual.
Another object is to provide a movable alley floor section for receiving and holding the pins in playing positionand capable of being raised and inclined for discharging the upset pins therefrom after a play, without disturbing the pins left standing.
Another object is to provide a pin conveyer for receiving the pins discharged from v the floor after a play, en masse or singly, by means of which the pins may be turnedand conveyed in single file and all facing in the same direction, to the pin setting mechanism, after having been elevated to setting position, cups being provided for receiving the pins at such elevated positions, and means being provided for elevating the pins further into playing position above the floor.
Another object is to provide means for applying power to the conveyor and settlng mechamsm, intermittently as needed, by a system of'electrically actuated clutches controlled by manually operated switchesat the players end of the alley, and for collectin and returning the used balls to their normad positions near the players. Other objects In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it will be obvlous that the details of structure shown may be substanreference are employed for indicating the same or like parts as mentioned in the description hereinafter following, it will be noted that in the assembled views of my improved mechanism" numerous parts are of necessity omitted from each of the views for clarity of-illustration and each of the assembled views is depended uponto show only a certain portion of the invention and the relation thereof to other parts of the mechanism, while the detail views clearly show all of the parts in their operative re lation.
