Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de jeu de boule qui permet l'exécution d'un jeu de boule évolué ayant des caractéristiques de jeu améliorées. L'appareil de jeu de boule comprend une voie le long de laquelle roule une boule lancée, une pluralité de corps à frapper, qui sont placés dans une région de placement sur la voie et qui doivent être frappés par la boule, et un dispositif de placement afin de placer les corps à frapper à des endroits prédéterminés sur la voie. Les corps à frapper sont partiellement ou entièrement configurés sous une forme sphérique. Le dispositif de placement est pourvu d'une section de stockage pour stocker les corps à frapper, d'une section de transfert pour tenir les corps à frapper par le dessus et pour transférer les corps à frapper vers la région de placement, et d'une unité de détermination pour déterminer l'endroit où les corps à frapper sont transférés par l'unité de transfert. L'unité de détermination peut déterminer l'endroit où il faut transférer les corps à frapper, de telle sorte que les corps à frapper sont placés à des endroits déterminés de façon arbitraire dans la région de placement, celle-ci étant une région rectangulaire.
