  • the indicia display means 10 appears as a transparent circular window 20 through which can plainly be seen an arrangement of display indicia, the circular window 20 being entirely circumscribed by a concentric opaque annular ring of bonding material 22 as will be more fully explained below.
  • the window 20' is'defined by the upper convex surface of a onepiece rigid transparent insert member 24 which is adapted to be receivably engaged within a cylindrical recess or bore 26 formed in the surface of the bowling ball 12 as by drilling, for example.
  • Recess 26 which has a central axis 27 is bounded by an inner side wall surface 28, a bottom wall surface 30, and has an inside diameter slightly larger than the extreme outside diameter of insert member'24.
  • insert member 24 is substantially symmetrical with respect to its principal axis 35 and includes a substantially cylindrically shaped upper lens portion 32 and a radially flanged downwardly extending annular-skirt portion 34 integral therewith.
  • the terms radially and axially as used herein and in the appended claims refer to directions taken with reference to axis 27 and/or axis 35; the latter axes being substantially conincidental when the insert member 24 is received within recess 26.
  • the annular flanged skirt portion 34 of insert member 24 has a horizontal upper wall surface 36, a radially inwardly tapered outer side wall surface 38, and a horizontal lower bottom or end wall surface 40.
  • the horizontal upper wall surface 36 is generally disposed at approximately aright angle to the annular side wall surface 41 of lens portion 32 to define an annular or circumferential shoulder radially extending from side wall surface 41 toward the inner side wall surface 28 of bowling ball recess 26 with the shoulder (upper wall surface 36) being axially displaced below the outer spherical surface of the bowling ball within the recess 26 substantially as shown in FIG. 4. It will be observed further that the intersection between the radially inwardly tapered sidewall surface 38 of flanged skirt portion 34 and the plane of horizontal upper wall surface 36 defines a circle whose diameter consitutes the extreme outside diameter of insert member 24.
  • the inner side wall surface 42 of flanged portion 34 is substantially parallel with respect toaxis 35 of insert member 24 to define a cylindrically shaped interior recess 44 (FIG. 3) terminated at its upper extremity by the planar lower wall surface 46 f upper lens portion 32.
  • recess 44 is adapted to receivably display means shown in FlGS.- 1-4.

  • the downwardly extending flanged skirt portion 34 of insert member 24 is provided with a series of rectangularly shaped radially aligned slots 52 formed in its free end, or more precisely in the horizontal bottom end surface 40 thereof.
  • every other radial slot 52 communicates with a rectangularly shaped slot 54 formed in the outer side wall surface 38 of the flanged portion 34 and longitudinally aligned with the inner side wall surface 42 of the flanged portion thereby forming a substantially L-shaped channel between the lower most portionof recess 44 and the upper horizontal surface 36 of the flanged skirt portion.
  • slots 52 there are eight such radial slots 52 each one of which is centered approximately at 45 intervals around the circumference of the flanged skirt portion 34. Accordingly, there are four slots 54 defining four L-shaped channels, each one being located respectively at approximately intervals around the circumference of the flanged skirt portion. The function of slots 52 and the L-shaped channels formed by slots 52,54 will be more fully explained below.
  • a conventional bowling ball say, one made I from molded hard rubber, for example, is fabricated in the usual manner, but before the final grindingand polishing operation is performed, the bowling ball is set in a suitable fixture and the cylindrical recess 26 drilled therein as indicated in FIG. 3.
  • the recess 26 can be located anywhere on the spherical outer surface of the bowling ball it is preferable to locate its center in the top weight portion of the ball, i.e., in the region where thumb hole 14 and finger holes 16,18 are subsquently formedQBy locating recess 26 in the top weight section of the ball, imbalances due to removable of material will be compensated for as is well known in the art.
  • insert member 24 is of one-piece, rigid, transparent construction. Moreover, for obvious reasons the insert member should have uncommonly high impact strength and good surface hardness as well as being dimensionally stable over a moderate temperature range. It has been foundthat inserts molded from certain thermoplastic polymeric resins satisfy the foregoing desideratum and are advantageously suited for the present invention. Particularly prefered, are the polymeric resins known as polycarbonates. As is well understood in the art of organic chemistry the polycarbonates may be produced by reacting Phosgene with Bisphenol A to form a polymer that can be considered as ester of carbonic acid and Bisphenol A.
  • the insert member 24 may then be fixedly secured within the recess 26formed in the outer spherical surface of bowling ball 12.
  • a wide variety of known high-strength self-hardening adhesives may be used to permanently bond the insert member to the bowling ball. Excellent results have been achieved, for example, by employing an epoxy resin adhesive sold under the trademark EPON 815 by the Shell Chemical Company in accordance with the following formulation:
  • the recess 26 is charged with the liquid adhesive 58 until it is substantially filled therewith.
  • the insert member 24 is then inserted into the adhesive filled recess until the end wall surface of the insert comes into firm stationary contact with the bottom wall surface 30 of recess 26 as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the adhesive 58 is easily displaced by the insert and readily flows through the slots 52 and the L-shaped channels formed by slots 52 and 54 so as to come into contact with and completely surround every surface of the insert with the exception of the latters upper convex surface 20.
  • the adhesive 58 completely fills the recess 44 between the underside of the display member 48 and the bottom wall surface 30 of the bowling ball recess 26 and extends in a continuous fashion through the slots 52, and the L-shaped channels formed by slots 52 and 54, to fill the volume defined by the axially recessed shoulder 36, the annular side wall surface 41 of the inserts lens portion 32, and the upper side wall surface 28 of recess 26 thereby forming an overhanging annulus of adhesive the exposed upper surface of which comprises the opaque ring 22 surrounding the display window 20 as discussed above in connection with FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 the adhesive 58 completely fills the recess 44 between the underside of the display member 48 and the bottom wall surface 30 of the bowling ball recess 26 and extends in a continuous fashion through the slots 52, and the L-shaped channels formed by slots 52 and 54, to fill the volume defined by the axially recessed shoulder 36, the annular side wall surface 41 of the inserts lens portion 32, and the upper side wall surface 28 of recess 26 thereby
  • liquid adhesive completely fills the volume between the radially inwardly tapered outer wall surface 38 of the inserts flanged skirt portion 34 and side wall surface 28 of bowling ball recess 26 as well as the slight clearance space existing between the extreme outside diameter of the insert and side wall surface 28.
  • the tapered surface functions as a chamfer on the skirt portion facilitating easy insertion of the insert member into the bowling ball recess.
  • the tapered side wall surface of the inserts skirt portion permits entrapped air to more easily escape from the underside of the insert after the latter has been inserted in place within the adhesivefilled recess 26.
  • the trapped air bubbles readily flow out through slots 52 along the tapered side wall surface 38 or are brought to the surface of the adhesive-filled recess through the L-shaped channels formed by slots 52 and 54.
  • air bubbles which remain entrapped within the adhesive filled recess will cause voids when the adhesive hardens and will seriously weaken thebond between the bowling ball and the insert.
  • the bowling balls exterior surface may then be finish ground and polished in the usual manner. This operation has the effect of removing material from the spherical outer surface of the bowling ball 12, the exposed surface 22 of the hardened adhesive filler within recess 26, and the convex outer surface 20 of the inserts lens portion 32; such removed material being schematically indicated by the area' 60 encompassed by the dashed lines in FIG. 4.
  • the outer convex surface 20 of the inserts lens portion as well as the exposed outer surface 22 of the hardened adhesive 58 are all located in the spherical surface of the bowling ball exterior and are therefore substantially perfectly flush-mounted with respect to each other.
