DIVISION BOARD FOR BOWLING ALLEYS.
Application filed July 21, 1925.
This invention relates to an improved division board oukick-back used in bowling alleys.
The object ofthe invention is to provide an improved division board or kick-back which will last the entire life of the bowling alley and which is practically indestructible, whereby to avoid the expense of periodically replacing the division board or kick-back which must be done with the structures now in use and also to maintain the effectiveness of the division board or kick-back to the end of causing the pins striking the same to be thrown back onto the alley or into the pit.
Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features of the construction, arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating a bowling alley constructed in accordance with the present invention Figure 2 is a view showing the division board in elevation and thebowling alley in fragmentary section, and
Figure 8 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of the division board taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the division boards or kickbacks usually employed on bowling alleys.
The present invention proposes the provision in the opposite sides of the division board of recesses or openings 2 in which strike plates 3. are received and secured as by means of screws 4. The strike plates 3 are entirely contained within the openings 2 and have their outer faces 5 coplanar with the vertical side faces of the division. boards or kick-backs.
The strike plates exactly fill and lit the openings and in this way are imbeddedin the division boards. a The forward end of each strike plate 3 is preferably located at a point transversely aligned with the number 1 pin and this strike plate extends back Serial No. 45,062.
beyond the end of the alley and along the strike plates consist of a piece of paper fibre or white wood about thirty inches high, sixty inches long and a half inch thick. The strike plates are more durable than the maple of which the kick-backs or division boards are constructed and will remain intact and in good condition for the life of the bowling alley. lVith the kick-backs as ordinarily constructed the continual striking of the pins on the maple wood will cause the wood to sliver and crack so that the kick-backs or division boards must be replaced about every two years. Moreover. when slivered the normal action of the kickbacks in causing the pins to rebound. onto the alley or into the pit is impaired as a Y result of which'the players are deprived of an advantage which the rules of the game contemplate they should have. The strike plates may be readily replaced if necessary but as stated they are practically indestructibleand last the life of the bowling alley.
I claim: 7
1. A division board for bowling alleys having strike plates of soft, tough material not liable to sliver or crack imbedded therein and extending over the entire impact area of the division board.
2. A division board for bowling alleys having strike plates of fibre imbedded in its side faces, said strike plates of fiber covering the entire area of the division board against which the pins strike.
3. A division board for bowling alleys having an opening in each side face and a strike plate, a saft, tough material not liable to sliver or crack fitted and filling each opening, each strike plate having its outer surface'coplanar, with the side of the division board with which it is associated.
4. A division board for use with bowling alleys having strike plates of soft tough material not liable to sliver or crack in its side faces extending from. points transversely aligned with the head pin back beyond the alley and along the pit. r
