Benefits of technology

[0005]This invention addresses the above-described problems by providing a bowling game kit that can provide a smooth bowling surface on which a ball can be rolled toward a target with reasonable predictability, and which can be readily set up, taken down, and assembled into a compact and easily transported kit.

Problems solved by technology

However, setting up bowling games on sandy beaches and lawns is more difficult because of the need for a smooth surface on which the ball can be rolled.
A rigid rolling surface can be sufficiently smooth, but it is not easily transported.
Beach sand, on the other hand, exhibits high frictional resistance to a rolling ball, making bowling on a beach difficult, unpredictable, and generally unsatisfactory.
Most lawns are also unsatisfactory as bowling surfaces because of non-uniform grass blade lengths and other surface irregularities.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]As shown in FIG. 1, backstop 10 is a substantially rigid structure composed of a single sheet of polyethylene or other suitable sheet material folded to form an elongated, rectangular, prism-shaped, box-like structure that is closed at its narrow ends, closed along two adjacent long sides, and open along the other two adjacent sides.

[0026]The sheet is bent along line 12 to form an elongated, rectangular bottom panel 14, and an elongated, rectangular, back panel 16, extending upward in perpendicular relation to the bottom panel. End panels 18 and 20 are formed at opposite ends of the backstop by bending the sheet on lines 22 and 24 so that the end panels also extend perpendicularly upward from the bottom panel 14. Top flanges 26 and 28 protrude horizontally toward each other from the upper edges of panels 18 and 20, respectively, being formed by bending along lines 30 and 32. A tab 34 extending downward from flange 26 is secured to the front face of back panel 16 by a suitable ...

Abstract

A bowling game kit suitable for use on a sand beach comprises a backstop and an elongated flexible rectangular sheet of material connected at one end of the backstop and having one or more target holes adjacent the backstop, which can be in register with buckets situated in depressions formed in the sand. The elongated sheet can be wrapped around the backstop, forming an elongated enclosure in which the buckets and other components can be stored and transported.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority on the basis of provisional patent application Ser. No. 29 / 321,674, filed Aug. 13, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to games, and particularly to a bowling game kit primarily for outdoor use.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Generally, in a bowling game, a ball is propelled manually and rolled from a launching location at one end of a defined path toward a target adjacent an opposite end of the path. In a typical bowling game, the target is a set of pins or similar targets to be toppled when struck by the ball, or one or more openings that the ball can enter, each opening being assigned a score value corresponding to the difficulty of causing the ball to enter the opening.[0004]Bowling games can be set up as permanent installations without difficulty, as in conventional bowling alleys, SKEE BALL arcades, and the like. However, setting up bowling games on sandy beaches and lawns is more di...
