Sept. 19, 1933. A. HALPlN BOWLING BALL AND CONTAINER THEREFOR Filed Jan. 8, 1932 n m A Patented Sept. 19, 1933 PATENT. OFFICE BOWLING BALL AND CONTAINER THEREFOR Abraham Halpin, New York, N. r. I Application January 8, 1932. Serial No. 585,462
7 Claims. ((71. 150-52) This invention relates to bowlin ball receptacles, and has among itsobjects the provision of an improved device of the; character described having improved means for enclosing the bowling ball, and for supporting the same, all associated in a simple unitary device.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bowling ball receptacle which can be readily opened and into which th heavy bowling ball can be conveniently rolled ar dropped and the cover then drawn snug around the ball, the device being so arranged that the bowling 'ball can be reliably carried about or'rested on the floor without deteriorating by impact. v
Another object of the invention is the provision of I a device having fewand simple parts, and which is inexpensive to manufacture and highly efiicient in use.
Other objects and advantages-10f the invention will become apparent as the specification proceeds. e With the aforesaid objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combinations and arrangementsof parts hereinafter described in their preferred embodiments, pointed out in the sub- .ioined claims, and illustrated on the annexed drawing, wherein like parts are designated by the same reference characters throughout the several views. In the drawing:
"- Figure 1 is a view in elevation embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.
The advantages-of the invention as here outshowing a device instrumentalities are combined in one and the -a device embodying the invention. The same ineludes a cover 11 for enclosing a bowling ball 12, and a suitable base structure 13 for supporting the ball inassociation with the cover. The latter preferably is arranged to closely conform to the shape of the bowling ball,- and is adapted to be sufllciently opened to conveniently receive the ball. Thus the cover may be made of a pliable material, such as fabric, and may be split in a lined are best realized when all of its features and suitable direction, as along a central vertical plane at 14 along. the top and sides of the cover At its lower portion, the cover has suitable connection with the basestructure which may take widely different forms. It iswrdinarily sufllcient that the base shall be of such character as to prevent rolling of the bowling ball, or to relieve the receptacle of impact if the device is'rested on the floor, or to distribute the stresses on the cover, or to reduce wear on the cover, and any or all of these objects may be accomplished, as in the construction shown.
The base structure 13 may include a circular or recessed means which may act as a concave device for receiving a lower part of the bowling ball. Preferably a cup shaped element l'Lmay be used, made of any feasible material,such as pressed fiber. This element may have a bottom portion 18 and an annular upright flange 19 cylindrical to any desired degree. Said element may be associated in diiferent ways with the cover, as by being disposed inside of the cover,. and secured thereto in a suitable manner, preferably by means of studs 20 passed through the bottom wall 21 of the cover and connected with said cup element. The side walls of the cover may extend along substantially straight lines at 21a into the bottom 21 forming a downward projecting circular portion of tubular .or recessed construction.
For carrying the device 10, suitable means may be utilized such as a plurality of handles 22, each of which may be' secured to a side portion 15.0! the cover as at 22a to equallydistribute the stress thereon. In order that the cover itself may. be I well adaptedto carry the considerable weight of the bowling ball, said cover may be made of elongated strips such as 23 extending in the upright direction and interconnected by seams at 24 which aid in reenforcingthe cover.
In operation, to insert a bowling ball into the receptacle, the slide fastener is opened and the side portions 15 fully collapsed away from each other. Then the ball is placed into the receptacle with a slight lift so as to rest on the cup element 1! which immediately holdsthe ball against rolling. Next the slide fastener is shut, and
the device is ready to be carried by means of the the ground by a sufilcient number of the suitably spaced studs 20; or an equivalent means to prevent wear on the receptacle. An easily con structed, durable device is ailforded.
' It will be apreciated that various changes and modifications may be made in the device as shown ,in the drawing, and that the same is submitted in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense, the scope of the invention being defined in the follow- -I claim:
l.- A bowling ball receptacle including an elastic shallow cup element, a bag of pliabie'fabric, said elastic element being located at the bottom of said bag, said bag having an opening extending into proximity to the upper edge of said elastic element, so that the portions of the bag at the sidesv of said opening can be collapsed down to said elastic element, means for releasably interconnecting said portions, and a plurality of spaced stud members secured to said elastic element and projecting below the bag to afford a support for the elastic element.
2. A bowling ball receptacle including an element having a bottom wall and a relatively thin upstanding circular side wall integral therewith,
