Abstract:
A device for pushing a bowling ball with finger holes. The device includes a pole with a grip end and an opposite distal end. A push direction is defined from the grip end to the distal end and a withdrawal direction is defined from the distal end to the grip end. A plurality of fingers is configured to be received within the finger holes of the bowling ball, each having a base end and an opposite tip end. A pole coupler couples the fingers to the distal end of the pole such that when the fingers are received in finger holes, each finger is translationally movable relative to the finger holes only in the withdrawal direction. The device is configured to push the bowling ball by positioning the fingers into the finger holes, pushing the pole in the push direction, and retracting the pole in the withdrawal direction.

Claim (Index 3):
The device according to  claim 1 , wherein a pole axis is defined between the grip end and the distal end, wherein a finger axis is defined between the base end and the tip end of each of the plurality of fingers, wherein the finger axis of at least one of the plurality of fingers is coaxial with the pole axis.
