A table parlour game particularly a turbo-bowling comprising a turbo player unit (1), bowling pins (2) and a lane plate tilting to any direction (3). The turbo player unit (1) is a whirling top, namely a conical solid of rotation, the plate (1/a) of which is shaped to have a regular hexagonal pattern and furthermore equipped with a rotating tail (1/b) and tip (1/c) and the lane plate (3) is equipped by setting device (4) comprising centrally attached globe head (4/a) and globe shell (4/b).

A novel small-scale replica bowling game is disclosed. The game is a realistic simulation of the game of either 5 pin or 10 pin bowling on an approximate 1:6 scale. The game comprises a player operated pin reset mechanism which is operable from the player end of the game as well as a gravity operated ball return mechanism.

A bowling center system includes first and second pinsetters each associated with a respective corresponding one of first and second bowling lanes. A communication device communicates data to bowlers and a lane pair control system is configured to control the pinsetters, to receive pin data from said pinsetters during current bowling, to generate current scoring data based on the received pin data, and to supply signals corresponding to the generated current scoring data to the communication dev...

A bowling overshoe includes an upper formed from a stretchable sheet material and two outsole portions attached independently of each other.

A bowling ball having an internal weight whose position is adjustable by a remote controller for altering the path of the ball after it is released by the player.

A bowling ball having an internal weight whose position along a spin axis is adjustable by operation of a drive means which in turn is operative to rotate a threaded nut sleeve that supports the weight. The rotation is about a threaded, non-rotatable weight shaft that extends along the spin axis. This threadably advances the nut sleeve and the weight along the length of the weight shaft, thereby altering the center of gravity and path of the ball after it is released by the bowler.

A bowling center system includes a pinsetter for setting pins on a bowling lane. A control circuit controls the pinsetter to re-set a configuration of pins on the bowling lane based on performance data of a bowler if the bowler fails to knock down all the pins of the configuration.

A foldable-unfoldable bowling caddy has two spaced apart, parallel, generally vertically extending support legs mounted on wheels. A series of spaced apart flat forward racks rotatable to and from a folded position aligned with the two parallel legs to and from an unfolded horizontal position are attached to the two parallel legs. A third leg is pivotally connected to the two parallel legs and is movable to and from a folded position adjacent the two parallel legs to and from an angular position...

A bowling aid adapted to be mounted on either the bowler's index or little finger. The aid is a sheath into which the bowler's finger is inserted. Appropriate padding is provided in the sheath for gripping and protecting the finger. The padding can include a full-finger insert having removable serrated longitudinal sections. On the outer end of the sheath there is provided a plate which extends outwardly from the sheath under the head metacarpal joint of the bowler's index finger and part of the...

A bowling ball having an outer shell and a core comprised of a main body and a plurality of weight blocks. The outer shell is of uniform thickness, completely encases the core and has an outer spherical surface. The main body and the weight blocks combine to form a solid sphere. The weight blocks are of the same size, shape and material and have first curved surfaces which form a part of the outer surface of the core and second surfaces directed to the center of the sphere. The weight blocks are...
