Abstract (en)

[origin: US4813673A] To reduce the distribution time of bowling pins being fed horizontally along transport paths, first and central transport systems (41, 42) are located in a median portion of an elongated frame, with first and second connecting transport systems (43, 47), diverging from the central transport system, transport the bowling pins to peripheral transport systems (68, 69) located parallel and on either side of the first and second central transport systems. Bowling pins are distributed, alternately, to the first and second central transport system to be transported past pin receiving pockets to receive pins, provided the pockets are empty. The distribution apparatus is simple and formed witha Y-shaped distribution rocker to alternately cover or free pin supply chutes (5, 6) in alignment with the first and second transport systems, respectively.
