Definitions

  • This invention relates to a skittle alley which is of such dimensions that it can beplaced on a table or the like.
  • the skittle game is provided with a ball track 5 adapted to be brought into diierent angles of inclination and oscillated in its longitudinal axis.
  • a projecting device with handle is provided on the track which can be used on both sides; which handle - ⁇ at thesame time enables a slight turnl ing of the track whilst the ball is running thereon.
  • skittles are connected to cords having tension l springs at a portion of their length. These tension springs are connected to a connecting element, which in turn is connected to a further spring attached at one end to the base of the alley and determines the initial position oi a common pull cord.
  • Fig. 2 is a top plan view of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows in top plan view the tension springs with connecting element and the common pull cord.
  • Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view taken on line 4 6 oi' Fig. 2.
  • the base l carrying the entire equipment of the game is surrounded by an edge 2 of suicient height to prevent the loss of the ball.
  • 'Ihe board 3- carrying the Skittles 3' rests on a box 4 which protects the cords 8" of the skittles 3' against detrimental external influences.
  • a track 5 carrying a projecting device 6' provided with handle 6 is hingedly suspended by means of two pins 5 and 5".
  • the pin 5" is further exchangeably inserted in holes I arranged at dii'- ferent heights in an upright plate 8 ioldable on a hinges?. It is possible to adjust the inclination of the track 5 by means of the arrangements of the holes 1 at different heights.
  • the upright plate l ismolmted on the hinge B' so that it can be folded down,.as already mentioned,
  • the ball which is guided onto the trackS by raising the projecting device made in circular shape, rolls down this track and can be influenced by turning the track 5 with the aid of the handle 8. After knocking 5 against the Skittles c' the ball rollsfon to the vase i and runs back to its initial position where it remains easily accessible in a ball catcher
  • the skittles are set up by cords 3" which are connected by means of tension springs l0 and a 10 connecting element i' to a pull cord Il provided with a' handle Il to facilitate its operation.
  • the element l0' also carries' an additional spring I0" which is connected to the base l and serves for bringing thepull cord ll into its l5 initial position.
  • the track E ' has a grooveshaped running surface 5a as shown in Fig; 4 whereas Ythe opposite surface is iiat. -This enables the track to be employed in two different ways; firstly the ball can be allowed to run on a 20 y be employed.
  • a curved ball projecting strap adapted to the shape of the balls rotatably mounted on said track perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction thereof, and lateral handles on said strap 45 adapted to turn said strap and hold said track.
