Abstract:
A bowling pin setter mechanism comprising a vertically-arranged lift assembly and a combined spot and re-spotting assembly. The latter includes a top member including a chute, the top member configured to move in a top plane; a bottom member including a bottom opening having an area of a first size and a support plate disposed adjacent the bottom opening, the bottom member disposed in a bottom plane; a middle member including a middle opening and a channel extending from the middle opening at a neck area, the middle member disposed between the top member and the bottom member, the middle member configured to move in a middle plane parallel to the top plane and the bottom plane; and an actuator configured for lowering and raising an aggregate group of said top, middle and bottom members.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for shutting down a bowling pin setter mechanism using a sensor disposed at an entrance to the bowling pin setter mechanism and a relay which selectively provides power to the bowling pin setter mechanism, said sensor and said relay functionally connected to a controller, said method comprising:\n (a) using the controller for determining the duration of activation of the sensor; and (b) using the controller for comparing the duration of activation of the sensor to a threshold, wherein if said duration of activation of the sensor exceeds said threshold, said relay is deactivated to shut down the bowling pin setter mechanism.
