Definitions

  • the present invention relates to games, of the bowling games genre, using a very smooth track on which balls are thrown, and it relates more particularly to a device for oiling the tracks of these games.
  • a first known oiling process consists in oiling the track with a cloth soaked in oil.
  • a second known oiling process consists in spraying the oil on the track using a sprayer; the disadvantage of using a damp cloth or sprayer, the oil flow of which cannot be precisely controlled, has the disadvantage of an uneven distribution of the oil on the track; this unequal distribution introduces an uncertainty in the response of the ball with respect to the initial impulse; this uncertainty of response is particularly noticeable to qualified players who compete in the championships.
  • the present invention aims to provide an oiling process and its means of implementation, thanks to which the oil covering of the track will be very regular and repetitive both in the transverse direction and in the longitudinal direction.
  • a method of oiling skittles or the like is generally characterized in that a first layer of oil is deposited in the longitudinal direction of the track on a first half of that -then, then on a second half, then that one deposits, always in the longitudinal direction, a second layer of oil on the middle part of the track, the second layer being astride said first layers.
  • an oiling device said broom-oiler, allowing in particular the implementation of the process defined above, is generally characterized in that it incorporates a piece of felt with an edge protruding is rectilinear, means for maintaining rectilinear the shape of said protruding edge and, an oil reservoir in communication with said piece of felt for supplying oil in an extremely regular manner, the felt.
  • the means of holding said piece of felt, called felt, the latter being of elongated flattened parallelepiped shape are constituted by an elongated piece, called rule, comprising a recess open downward, said recess forming a housing for partially housing the piece of felt, and by an elongated piece, called a strip, intended to be pressed against said rule to press the felt into its housing, said strip comprising ducts for connecting the felt with the tank.
  • the rule comprises a groove extending over practically the entire length of the rule, said groove, provided with an upper edge and with a lower edge, being in relation by its upper edge with the reservoir. by means of a first plurality of equally spaced conduits along the length of said upper edge and in relation by its lower edge to said felt housing by means of a second plurality of evenly spaced conduits on the length of said lower edge.
  • the rule is fixed on a lower face of the oil tank, by means of three bases; the first plurality of conduits is three, each conduit passing through a said base; the second plurality of conduits is eight; finally, the conduits of the second plurality have a passage cross section substantially smaller than that of the conduits of the first plurality.
  • the rule has a cross section substantially in the shape of a T; the part of the face of the strip applied against the felt is provided with longitudinal grooves intended to avoid the sliding of the felt perpendicular to the latter.
  • a seal is placed between each of the contact surfaces of the rule with the reservoir, and a seal is arranged between the parts in contact with ruler and ruler.
  • a handle is fixed to one of the elements, ruler and reservoir, said handle being located in a median plane and perpendicular to the plane of the felt relative to the plane of the felt, the handle being inclined in his plan at around 45 0 .
  • the felt constituting said piece of felt has as a characteristic a preferential density of 0.42.
  • a mop-oiler 1 of the invention essentially consists of a reservoir 2 and an oil distributor member composed of a piece of felt 3 with a straight protruding edge and means 4 of rectilinear holding of the felt; all manipulable by means of a handle 5.
  • a bowling alley 7 having at its end skittles 8 is generally formed by wooden strips joined together to form a very smooth parquet.
  • the oiling of this track consists in passing the broom in the longitudinal direction and one after the other, over the two halves 7 ′ and 7 "of the track then over the middle part 7 "'which will thus comprise two layers of oil.
  • the oil distributor member as it appears in FIGS. 4 and 5 in particular, consists of an elongated part 10, called a rule, having a T-shaped cross section; the rule 10 comprises at its lower part a recess 11 open downwards forming a housing for the piece of felt 3; it has in its middle part a groove 12 whose upper edge 13 communicates by means of conduits such as 14 with the reservoir 2 and whose lower edge 15 communicates by means of conduits such as 16 with the housing 11 of the felt.
  • the felt 3 has an elongated parallelepiped shape whose thickness exceeds by approximately 2 mm the transverse depth of the housing 11.
  • the felt is kept compressed in its housing by means of a part 18, called a strip, having the same length as the rule; the face of the strip pressing against the rule is provided along its inner face in contact with the felt with longitudinal grooves 19 intended to prevent the felt from sliding.
  • the rule 10 is fixed to the tank by means of bases 20 welded to the underside of the latter, onto which the wings of the T of the rule are screwed; seals 21 seal between the rule and the bases 20; similarly, an elongated seal 22 provides sealing between the bearing surfaces of the rule 10 and the strip 18.
  • the oil contained in the reservoir reaches the felt passing successively through an orifice 23 of the bases, through the conduits 14, through the groove 12 and through the conduits 16; it will be noted that the section of the conduits 16 and their number as well as the section and the number of the conduits 14 are such that the total flow of oil through the latter is less than the total flow of oil through the former, with what the oil is constant. ment present in the groove 12 which serves as an intermediate reservoir, whereby the amount of oil arriving at the felt is evenly distributed from one end to the other of the distributor member; it will also be noted that the porosity of the felt is such that the oil flow through the latter is less than the oil flow through all of the conduits 16 whereby the quantity of oil arriving at the end of the protruding edge is perfectly evenly distributed.
  • the conduits 16 have an increase in diameter over approximately their lower half.
  • the diameter of the conduits 14 is 3 mm
  • the diameter of the conduits 16 is 0.7 mm by 4 mm and 2 mm by 5 mm
  • the porosity of the felt is 0.42 expressed in terms of density; it is interesting to note also that the width e of the felt is 12 mm for a housing depth, thickness of the joint 22 included, of 10 mm.
  • the handle 5 is removably attached to the reservoir by means of a conventional clamp sleeve not shown in the figures; the handle 5 is located in a median plane 25 perpendicular to the plane 26 of the felt and the handle is inclined in its plane at about 45 ° relative to the plane of the felt; the length of the handle is such that it allows a standing man to handle it easily.
