Abstract (en)

[origin: US5582325A] PCT No. PCT/FR93/01047 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 8, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 8, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 26, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/09867 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1994Distributor of the type comprising ball storing means and an articulated arm supplying a ball to the striking area. According to the invention, the ball storage means consists of a prismatic housing including, adjacent to each of its ends, supporting devices causing the bottom thereof to slope downwards in the direction of its open downstream end, which delimits an outlet for the passage of only one ball, its arm being articulated about a pivot pin in the housing. The distributor comprises a longitudinal chute, the upstream end being longitudinally closed, but having an opening for the distribution of a ball, while the upstream end is configured in the shape of a scoop for seizing a ball. Spring return means are placed between the housing and the arm to bring said arm into a substantially vertical position, once a ball is released.
