| An “S” shaped ramp that attaches to the lap area of a wheelchair and allows a person in the wheelchair to participate in the sport of bowling. An upper portion of the ramp releaseably attaches to the wheelchair and provides the bowler with a flat portion on which she can rest a bowling ball, before pushing the ball down the ramp for continued travel down a bowling alley. The flat upper portion of the ramp may be equipped with a “stop” or “rest” area that stops or holds the bowling ball. The stop area can be an indentation or a small “speed bump” that extends across the width of the upper portion. The ball can be placed in many different locations on the upper portion and stop area, thereby allowing the bowler to choose one from among many rolling paths for their bowling ball. The selection of rolling paths is limited by the width of the ramp, which may be two to three feet for example, and the direction in which the wheelchair faces. The lower portion slides freely on the alley floor and provides a smooth transition from the ramp to the alley. The ramp may be equipped with small curbs that run the length of both outside edges and the back edge closest to the bowler. | ||||||
| 162 | Bowler's dual position wrist and finger control device | US09457278 | 1999-12-08 | US06361447B1 | 2002-03-26 | Terry Lindstrom |
| A bowler's dual position wrist and finger control device is disclosed. The device comprises a hand plate and a forearm plate pivotally linked by a double position hinge mechanism. The double position hinge mechanism angularly disposes the hand plate and forearm plate to each other and limits any backward angular movement beyond this limit, thereby restricting the backward movement of a bowler's hand during delivery of a bowling ball. The double position hinge mechanism allows the user to pre-select two such angles of disposition and limitation in the same plane, and to chose between them by positioning a release lever up or down. The invention further discloses the use of finger supports secured to the hand plate to provide additional support for the bowler. In the preferred embodiment the finger supports are laterally pivotable about the hand plate to enable the user to adjust the supports to a comfortable position. | ||||||

| A bowling game enhances the traditional scoring of a strike or a spare when the bowler is able to time the rolling of the ball by a preselected location on the lane with a preselected location of an image being scanned transversely across the lane. The game uses a laser beam for illuminating a series of images in the form of spots of light, and in a sequencing fashion, moves the spots of light across the lane for viewing by the bowler during the rolling of the bowling ball towards standing pins. A sensor is positioned at a preselected location along side the lane for determining when the ball reaches the predetermined location. A processor provides an enhanced scoring to the otherwise traditional scoring when the ball reaches the preselected location at the same time a particular preselected spot of light reaches a particular location on the lane. By way of example, a bowler attempts to have the bowling ball pass the predetermined location on the lane when a preselected spot of light is illuminated, and if successful, the scoring of a strike or a spare will be enhanced as a result of the timing of the ball with the moving spots of light. Various locations on the lane are assigned enhancing values for adding to the score of the bowling game. | ||||||

| 168 | User worn arm bend control device | US795327 | 1985-11-06 | US4682776A | 1987-07-28 | William Mitchell; Herbert Langston |
| An arm-straightening device for selectively locking an arm in a straight position, so that a bowler, or the like, is prevented from bending the arm during delivery, but which automatically allows the arm to bend during follow-through. A pair of semicircular-shaped, arm-shells are pivotally connected together at adjacent end-portions. An elastic, elongated band is positioned on the rear surfaces of the two shells and held in a first, stable state by a series of pins projecting from the rear surfaces of the shells. The band, in its first state, tends to keep the shells in an aligned, rectilinear orientation to keep the arm to which they are secured straight. Upon the application of sufficient force by the lower arm, in order to bend it, the elongated, elastic band is caused to take a second, stable state that tends to bias the shells into a bent orientation to keep the arm in its bent position for follow-through, or the like. The band is kept in its second, stable state by stop-pins projecting from the rear surface of at least one shell, which stop-pins lie on the opposite side of the pivot-axis of the shells as compared to the other pins when the other pins are in the first, stable state. The first state of the elastic band and the shells is also automatically assumable by the application of sufficient torque from the lower arm tending to straighten the arm. | ||||||

| A bowling glove for improving the velocity and uniformity of a bowler's delivery includes a substantially rigid plate adapted to be strapped to the back side of the bowler's hand. A substantially rigid tongue projects upwardly from the plate and lies against the back of the wrist while a pair of laterally spaced and substantially rigid fingers project downwardly from the plate and lie against the backs of the index and little fingers. The plate, the tongue and the glove fingers coact to hold the bowler's wrist and index and little fingers in a substantially fixed position as the ball is delivered. The plate preferably is formed by two pivotally connected sections which enable the glove fingers to be adjusted laterally to fit hands of different widths. | ||||||
| 170 | Fixed hand span device for bowler | US582533 | 1984-02-22 | US4552359A | 1985-11-12 | Jerry D. McDonald |
| A semi-rigid device utilized on the hand for support in bowling, comprising a generally triangularly shaped member designed for insertion between two fingers of the hand, such as between the index finger and the middle finger, so as to define a consistent spread or span. Securing means are removably attached to the member, with such securing means encircling at least part of the hand or wrist of the user, thus to prevent dislodgement of the generally triangularly shaped member from the selected position between the fingers. I prefer to use a hand-encircling or wrist-encircling strap as the securing means, and I also prefer to use Velcro on the generally triangularly shaped member as well as on the interior portion of the strap in order that proper positioning of the member on the strap may be readily achieved. Additionally, I may utilize two generally triangularly shaped members on occasion, with one of these employed between the index finger and the middle finger, and the other employed between the ring finger and the little finger. | ||||||
