Definitions

  • FIG. 5A BOWLING PIN ELEVATING MECHANISM Filed May 4, 1959 3 Sheets-Sheet 2
  • This invention relates to automatic bowling pinspotting machines and more particularly to a novel annular means for conveying bowling pins from the pit of a bowling alley to a point of delivery therefrom to a pinspotting device for placement on the playing bed of a bowling alley.
  • the pin conveyor constructed in accordance with the invention, is provided with a plurality of pockets, and asso ciated with each pocket is novel pin means for retaining a bowling pin seated therein until it is released at a predetermined location or discharge station, or carried past the release station, as determined by a suitable control such as a counting mechanism.
  • the pin holding means is so constructed and arranged that as a result of the rotary action of the wheel, each operating element thereof is travelled or moved over strategically located cams adjacent the wheel. Whereupon being actuated, each pin holding means or arm is retained in or out of engagement by a spring toggle, thus eliminating the need for coaction of the pin holding device with a continuous cam.
  • FIGURE 1 is a front elevation of a preferred form of pin elevating member embodying the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a partial view partly in section of the upper part of mechanism shown in FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 3 is a view taken approximately on line 33, FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 4 is a partial side view of the lower part of the mechanism shown in FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 5 is a view taken on line 55 in FIG. 1.
  • FIGURE 6 is a view taken on line 6-6, FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 6A is a view of a detail of the mechanism shown in FIGURE 6.
  • FIGURE 7 is a detailed mechanism and pin holding station.
  • FIGURE 8 is a in FIGURE 7.
  • FIGURE 9 is a top URE 8.
  • the pin elevating conveyor or wheel is designated generally M.
  • Wheel M is mounted at one side of the pit of a bowling alley, and preferably is positioned transversely thereof proximate the rear end of the pit between kickbacks K where it is operative to convey bowling pins from the pit of the alley upwardly to a point of discharge or discharge station for delivery to a pinspotter with which wheel M is associated.
  • a bowling pin elevating or conveying device constructed in accordance with the invention, is readily adaptable for use with any type of bowling pin spotting machine employing pin elevating mechanism, it is especially adaptable for use in a bowling pin spotting machine of the type shown in Holloway et a1. Patent 2,767,983.
  • wheel M is in the form of a torous or annular ring having a center opening 101 which provides ready access to the pit of the bowling alley and to adjacent mechanism of the machine of which it forms a part for adjustment, repair, replacement and the removal and substitution of pins, when necessary.
  • Conveyor M is generally U-shaped in cross-section, and preferably is provided with a flat surface on its outer pedevice, such as belt 46. as viewed in FIGURE such as a U-shaped or and longitudinally with view of the pin counting device at the pin release partial rear view of mechanism shown view of the mechanism in FIG-
  • the front edge 3%? of conveyor M, l is formed in an angular shape V-shaped flange facing inwardly respect to the face of the wheel.
  • the frame designated generally 9, for supporting conveyor M, is principally a circular ring 10 and appendaged members 12 and 14 for bridging to kickbacks K.
  • Ring 10 is shown as tubular, but may be solid in section and the total frame may be a die stamping, casting or otherwise produced to perform its desired function.
  • Ring 10 is attached to kickbacks K in a substantially vertical plane, spaced properly at the back or rear end of the bowling pinspotting machine of which it forms a part and is arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of a bowling alley.
  • Conveyor M is cradled in a vertical plane on guide rol1- ers 16.
  • Rollers 16 are rotatably mounted on shafts 20. These shafts are supported bymembers 14 and brackets 15', the latter being attached to frame 9 (see FIGURES l, 3 and 4). Rollers 16 are retained in operative position on shafts 20 by means of set collars 2 2 and cotter pins 24.
  • Conveyor M is further stabilized by a belt tightener des signated generally 17 which includes a guide roller 18.
  • This roller exerts a downward force on conveyor M as a result of the counter action of spring 28 of the belt tightening device.
  • guide roller 18 is rotatably mounted on shaft 32 in spaced support arms 3 lof H-lever 35 pivoted on member 36 on ring 10.
  • Guide rollers 16 and 18 are'each formed with a grooved flange 26, which engages flange 3%) at the outer edge of conveyor M for preventing axial movement of conveyor M.
  • Belt tightening roller 38 of belt tightener 17 extends in the opposite direction from roller 18 and is rotatably mounted in support arm 43 on shaft 42 supported in spaced arms 41 of H-arm 4t
  • Coil spring 25 is located above pivot mern' er 36 between upright flange 42 of H-support arm 4%, and flange of adjustingscrew 44 fixed to upright flange 43 of support 34.
  • spring 28 exerts a force on pivoting support arm 34- driving guide roller 18 in a downward direction against conveyor M, and an opposing force on support arm 4% forcing flanged belt Eightening'roller 38 in a downward direction against belt 5.
  • Drive belt 46 circumscribes conveyor M along the fiat surface of its outer periphery and is driven by a suitable power source (not shown) through sheave 48 in direction A, FIGURE 1. Drive belt 46 passes between conveyor M and guide rollers 16 and 18, thus decreasing sound transmission from conveyor M to other members of the mechanism.
  • the means for delivering pins into and seating them in pockets 11 and pockets 11 may be similar to that shown in Holloway et a1.
  • Patent 2,767,983, and further detailed description and illustration are omitted in the interest of brevity.
  • Pins seated in elevating wheel M are carried upwardly, either butt end first or handle end first in pocket 11 in the direction of arrow B in FIGURE 1 to pin discharge station S2.
  • Pin aligning and transfer mechanism T may be similar in construction and operation to that shown in Zuercher Patent 2,767,984, for Pin distributing and spotting Mechanism for bowling pin spotting machines, and only so much. as is required for a proper understanding of the present invention is included herein.
  • pin discharge station S2 is shown substantially directly over station S1. If desired, station S2 may be located at some other position along the path of travel of conveyor M as long as space is pro.- vided for the release of pins 56 from conveyor M into pin aligning and transfer device T.
  • pin elevating wheel M with pins 59 seated in its pockets rotates from pickup station S1 toward station S2, gravity tends to dislodge pins 56 from their seated positions.
  • a pin gripping device 52 is provided for each pocket in order to hold each pin 59 in its respective pocket against removal therefrom as it is conveyed toward discharge station S2.
  • Pin elevating wheel M normally has seven equidistantly spaced pockets, and seven pin gripping devices 52 are required, one for each pocket.
  • the construction and operation of each device 52 is the same. There fore, in the interests of brevity, only one is described in detail.
  • each pin holding device 52 includes a mounting bracket 54, a pin clamping arm 56 having a rotatably mounted cam follower 5 and a toggle joint 6d.
  • Pin clamping arm 56 is pivotally attached to bracket 54 by pin 58.
  • Bracket 54 is mounted on the rear of elevating Wheel M disposed radially relative thereto and in such a way as to allow member 57 of clamping arm 56 to move through an elongated opening (iii in conveyor M.
  • Swivel block 63 is pivotally attached to pin clamping arm 56 by pin 79 and has fixed thereto a tubular extension or sleeve 71.
  • Swivel block 72 is pivotally attached to bracket 54 by pin 74- and has a rod 73 fixed thereto which slides freely in tubular extension 71.
  • a coil spring 76 surrounds tubular extension 71 and d rod 73 and bears against swivel blocks 63 and 72, so that the expansion force of coil spring 7 it retains pin clamping arm 56 in open or closed position when the pin clamping arm is moved beyond the center of pivotal alignment.
  • Shock mounts 54 mounted in the free ends of levers 55 are provided for each device 52 in order to absorb shock and noise. In its travel outwardly, pin clamping arm 56 is stopped in position C, by contact with conveyor M, while bracket 54 serves as the stop for the fully closed position G. Shock mounts 64 are used at these points as well as at the end of member 57 of clamping arm 56 to cushion contact with bowling pins 5% ⁇ . Shock mounts 62 are used between bracket 54 and conveyor VI.
  • rotary pin conveyor M is rotated through pit P of the alley with which it is associated in direction B, FIGURE 1.
  • Pins 50 delivered to station S1 by pit conveyor 5-1 running on roiler 53 become seated in pockets of conveyor M for delivery to discharge station S2.
  • Clamping devices 52 on conveyor M are normally in open position as conveyor M passes station S1. In this position, shown in C, FIGURE 5, member 57 of clamping arm 55 has been withdrawn through opening 60 out of its associated pocket, thereby furnishing an unobstructed path for any pin 59 entering a pocket.
  • Cam '78 is shown as a welded unit, but may be a light casting or otherwise produced to perform its desired function.
  • Cam 78 is mounted on frame 10 by U bolt 86 generally midway between station S1 and S2. Roller 5% travels along the lower face of cam 78, as viewed in FIGURE 6. As roller 59 travels upwardly along cam 78, it pivots arm 56 against. the action of spring 76. The movement of arm 56 radially on pivot pin 53 moves toggle 66 radially on pin 74. When earn 7% has carried arm 56 beyond pivotal alignment with toggle 66, the expansive force of spring 76 drives member 57 of arm 56 into clamping position D against pin 50, preventing the removal of pin 50 from pocket 11.
  • pin clamping arm 56 will toggle to fully closed position G, FIGURE 5. It will be obvious from FIGURE 6 that pin clamping arm 56 will also hold pins of smaller diameter, as with turned down or refinished pins.
  • a selectively operable relase mechanism is provided to release pins Sit from their respective pockets 11 when such pins are required during the cycle of operation of the associated bowling pinspotting machine.
  • the release mechanism enclosure 82 is mounted on ring it by U bolts at the rear of conveyor M.
  • the release mechanism preferably includes a pin counting plate 176, associated solenoid 78 and mechanical counter 86.
  • Pin counting plate 176 is so formed that when mounted pivotally on horizontal shaft 84 in enclosure 82, its outer extremity or cam 174 is capable of arcuate swing in a vertical plane into and out of the path of travel of cam followers 59 of pin holding devices 52.
  • the inner flange 79 of pin counting plate 1% extends upwardly to engage counting mechanism 8i), and as hereinunder described, serves as the reciprocating pawl to turn ratchet wheel 81.
  • Pin counting plate 176 is normally in down position E as shown in broken lines in FIGURE 7, at which position it is disengaged from counting mechanism 80 and out of the path of cam follower 59.
  • cam follower 59 of each pin clamping device 52 engages cam 174 of pin counting plate 176, as shown at D, FIGURE 7.
  • the engagement of cam follower 59 with earn 174 moves pin counting plate 176 generally horizontally on shaft 84 against the counter force of coil spring 86, causing member 79 to move ratchet wheel 81 (FIGURE 8) one step.
  • Transfer device T may be similar in construction and operation to that shown in Zuercher Patent 2,767,984. Since it forms no specific part of the invention, further disclosure thereof is omitted.
  • counting plate 176 is returned to original position by coil spring 86 which is connected at one end to the upright shoulder flange of counting plate 176 opposing flange 79.
  • the other end of spring 86 is connected to bracket 88 of counting device 80.
  • Bracket 88 is pivotally mounted on housing 8 2 by shoulder screw 90.
  • Ratchet wheel 81 is rotatably supported on shoulder screw '83 mounted in bracket 88. Reverse motion. of ratchet wheel 81 is prevented by coil spring 92 which surrounds shoulder screw 83 between head of screw 83 and ratchet wheel 81 T (FIGURE 9).
  • Ratchet wheel 81 is provided with ten teeth and an integral flange 87 projecting beyond and around the outer periphery thereof. A segment 89 of flange 87 is removed at one tooth of ratchet wheel 81 to provide anopening for passage of member 79 of counting plate 176 in and out of engagement with ratchet wheel 81.
  • can1 174 is positioned in the path of travel of cam followers '57 in order to break the toggle 66 of each of the gripping devices 52 and thereby effect the. .release of pins at station S2.
  • cani 174 in its operative position, shown in'full lines in FIGURE 7, when pins are p to be fed to the pinspotting.
  • a suitable circuit (not shown) which includes actual actuating means, such'as a'manual control solenoid 178th) energize .it and thereby move cam 174 from position E to that shown in full lines in FIGURE 7.
  • This circuit is 'maintained'until at least one pin of the desired number of pins has been fed to the pinspotting mechanism.' As shown herein, ten pins are delivered in succession to aligning and transfer device T, since ratchet wheel 81 has ten teeth.
  • pawl 79 is maintained in engagement with the teeth of the ratchet wheel despite the fact that thecircuit can be broken, and it is not until ten pins have been fed and the ratchet wheel engaged end of pawl 79 moves into cut out segment 89 in flange 87 that armature 77 is allowed to drop down, and return cam 174- to its inoperative position E.
  • Armature 77 which links solenoid 178 to counting plate 176, is centered in the solenoid plunger by suitable spacers 94 which permit the required swing of armature 77. Armature 77 extends through an opening in counting. plate 176 and is connected resiliently thereto by shoulder screw 93 which depends freely from counting 6 plate 176 (FIGURE 7). Coil spring 96 encircles screw 93 between the free end of armature 77 and counting plate 176.
  • Means are provided for indicating the number of pins delivered to the pinspotting mechanism.
  • flange 87 extends through opening in release mechanism housing 82 so that markings on flange 87 may be clearly visible. These markings may be numbers, detents or projections formed integrally with flange 87. Thus a visible indication is given so that the number of pins 50 delivered to the pinspotting mechanism at any time during its cycle operation can readily 'be determined.
  • All pin holding devices 52 arriving at release station S2 are in closed position whether or not the associated pocket 11 of conveyor M carries a pin 50, as described hereinabove.
  • a pocket 11 of conveyor M arriving at release station S2 without a pin 50 will have its associated pin holding device 52 in closed position.
  • Each cam follower 59 in such case will pass cam 74 at position G, or out of engagement with counting plate 176, FIGURE 7, and therefore cannot operate the counter '80.
  • pocket 11 will-be moved to and past release station S2 without pins seated therein. Also if more than ten pins are being handled in the machine, the demands ofthe pin spotting mechanism may be such that pins held in pockets 11 may not be released at station S2.
  • cam 98 so positioned with respect .to came followers 59 that each cam follower on an arm 56 in pin holding position will engage came 98 and break toggle 66, thereby effecting the movement of such arms 56 to inoperative position.
  • cam 98 is attached to ring 18 by U-bolt at a. point to the right and above station S1, as viewed in FIGURE 1.
  • Cam 98 is so positioned that when arms 56 are moved out of holding engagement with pins in pockets 11, grav ity will not cause pins seated in pockets 11 to fall out or be dislodged therefrom.
  • a pin bounce board 168 of suit able size and shape is provided in the lower part of the opening 181, as shown in FIGURE 1.
  • Spring clamps 102 fastened to pin bounce board clamp over circu- 'lar frame 10. Pin bounce board 109 is therefore easily removed for pin changing or repair work through conveyor M opening 101.
