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 1):
A device for pushing a bowling ball having finger holes, the device comprising:\n a pole having a grip end and a distal end that is opposite the grip end, wherein 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, and wherein the grip end is configured to be held by a user; a plurality of fingers configured to be received within the finger holes of the bowling ball, wherein each of the plurality of fingers has a base end and a tip end that is opposite the base end; and a pole coupler that couples the base end of the plurality of fingers to the distal end of the pole such that when the plurality of fingers are received in finger holes, the plurality of fingers is translationally movable relative to the finger holes only in the withdrawal direction; wherein the device is configured to push the bowling ball by positioning the plurality of fingers into the finger holes with the tip end first, pushing the pole in the push direction, and retracting the pole from the bowling ball in the withdrawal direction.
