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 1):
A bowling pin setter mechanism comprising a lift assembly comprising:\n (a) a continuous band configured to revolve between a top portion and a bottom portion of said continuous band in a first direction; (b) a shelf comprises a width, two slits and two widthwise edges, said shelf is attached to said continuous band with the width of said shelf disposed substantially at right angle to said first direction, wherein said shelf is configured to receive a bowling pin having a skirt and a belly and move the bowling pin from said bottom portion to said top portion of said continuous band; and (c) two fangs disposed at said top portion of said continuous band within a sweep area of said shelf, each of said two fangs is disposed at a first distance with one of said two widthwise edges of said shelf, wherein each of said slits is configured to allow one of said two fangs to start making contact and continue making contact as said continuous band continues to revolve to push the bowling pin away from said continuous band to exit at said top portion of said continuous band.
