摘要:
A method of betting on a pin based game includes the making of a first bet by placement of money or a substitute for money on a first position of a betting mat or by a digital mat on a graphical user interface, the first bet corresponding to a first player performance metric of a player in the pin based game. The player then throws at least one throw of a ball at a pin arrangement having at least one standing pin in attempt to knock down the at least one pin. The first bet plus a premium are returned based upon the first player performance metric being achieved. The premium is defined by premium odds that is based in part on the probability. A system for betting on a pin based game includes a pin associated with a sensor, a computer, a graphical user interface, and a betting mat.

An automated system is provided for scoring and tracking pin position and pin placement, gameplay, and playing time during games of FOWLING™. A modified pin with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag affixed to or implanted in the pin provides tracking of individual pins during gameplay. A RFID reader is used to poll the set of pins on the platform to determine when a pin has left a set position. A processor controls the RFID tag reader and a clock so as to track pin position versus time. A pin position array is used in conjunction with conductive or magnetic disks on the bottom portion or surface of the pin for tracking pin position, pin placement, and gameplay. The conductive or magnetic disks complete circuit junctions in the array that confirm the presence of a standing pin and when a pin has been dislodged and presumably toppled over.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a bowling pin, in which: at least one mass piece is manufactured, and the mass piece is arranged in a body of the pin to adjust the vertical radius of gyration (RGV) and/or vertical moment of inertia (MOIV) of the pin.

A rotatable entertainment device includes a mobile arm rotatably coupled to the entertainment device, and a motion translation device coupled to the entertainment device and the mobile arm to convert an oscillatory motion of the entertainment device into a rotational motion of the mobile arm. The entertainment device is mountable to an oscillating device (e.g., a swing) that conveys the oscillatory motion from the oscillating device to the entertainment device.
摘要:
A toy game implement in the form of a baseball bat, a football or a bowling pin, each especially well-suited to manufacture by injection molding. The toy game implement includes a body having longitudinally spaced apart semi-annular ribs supported and reinforced by a central web in the form of a solid blade-like wall and external stringers spaced laterally from the web.
摘要:
A bowling pin has a pin body with a head and a magnet, at least partially enclosed in a plastic envelope, positioned in the head for manipulating the bowling pin. The plastic envelope and the head are fused to one another by rotating the plastic envelope within a cutout of the head so that the contact surfaces are heated for softening and fusing the material.
摘要:
A novel element is added to a bowling game by incorporating an intraviolet light sensitive dye or pigment in a bowling surface (24), a gutter (25), a bowling ball (26), and/or a bowling pin (28). A bowling establishment (10) is provided with an ultraviolet light source (50), (52), which, when conventional lighting, (42), (44), (46) is dimmed and/or turned off, will cause the ultraviolet light sensitive dye or pigment to fluoresce such that the components (24), (26), (30) fluoresce and glow to provide a pleasing effect attractive to bowlers.
摘要:
A magnetically responsive bowling pin having a first upwardly open cavity in its head portion and a second elongated cavity smaller and cross-section and extending downwardly in the head portion of a bowling pin. The first cavity receives a plastic cap having a top portion and a skirt with a permanent magnet and a plastic plug disposed in press fit engagement within the skirt. The skirt in turn is in press fit engagement with the wall of the first cavity to retain the assembled magnet and plastic parts in the desired position in the cavity. The second elongated cavity serves to remove material from the body of the bowling pin and thus compensates for the added weight of the permanent magnet and the slight additional weight of the plastic cap and plastic plug. As a result, the desired weight, weight distribution and balance of the bowling pin is not disturbed. In a second embodiment, the plastic cap has a through opening accessible upwardly and a small steel cap is mounted within the plastic cap and is exposed upwardly through the opening. The cap is also in engagement with the permanent magnet and results in enhancement of the magnetic forces.
摘要:
A plastic pin having a porous and/or cellular core that is surrounded by a hard shell. To be able to influence the level of the center of gravity of the pin, the shell is provided with an aperture in which is secured an insert in the form of a hollow body that extends into the interior of the shell and is disposed coaxially thereto. The hollow body can extend from the head of the pin beyond the neck and into the upper portion of the barrel portion of the pin.
摘要:
A method of producing a plastic pin, including a bowling pin, having a cellular and/or porous core that is surrounded by a solid-walled, noncellular and nonporous shell. The shell is initially produced as a whole body in a mold. While the material of the shell is not yet hardened and is still deformable, an insert is introduced into the narrowed neck portion of the shell, in a direction axial relative thereto, in such a way that the insert displaces an inner layer of the shell, dividing the hollow interior of the shell into an upper and a lower chamber and producing a fixed connection with the material of the shell. Material for the core, with such material being provided with an expanding agent, is then introduced into the shell, and after the shell and the core have set, the mold is removed.
