摘要:
The overall volume and rear end height of an automatic pin setter may be reduced to avoid spacial constraints with a pin distributing system for receiving bowling pins (33) moving in a generally horizontal path and for distributing pins (33) so received to two spaced paths. The distributing system includes an elongated, horizontal first conveyor (60) defining the horizontal path and having a discharge end (64) from which bowling pin (33) may be discharged along with second and third conveyors (96, 100) in spaced relation to another and each having a pin receiving end located on opposites sides of the discharge end (64). A pin diverter (110) is located between the pin receiving ends and at the discharge end (64) and a pivot (120) is provided to mount the pin diverter (110) for limited pivotal movement about a generally horizontal axis to either side of a vertical plane extending through the axis and generally in the direction of elongation of the first conveyor (60).
