Embodiment Construction

[0009]The following embodiments are only examples. Although the specification may refer to “an” embodiment in several locations, this does not necessarily mean that each such reference is to the same embodiment(s), or that the feature only applies to a single embodiment. Single features of different embodiments may also be combined to provide other embodiments.

[0010]Furthermore, words “comprising” and “including” should be understood as not limiting the described embodiments to consist of only those features that have been mentioned and such embodiments may contain also features / structures that have not been specifically mentioned.

[0011]As described in Background, the pin may cause the obstruction in the bowling ball return device. The obstruction may occur in various places of the bowling ball return device, and it may cause more problems in some places than in other places. The most problematic place for the obstruction is the accelerator belt that provides a force for returning t...

Abstract

A method for controlling a bowling ball return device comprises following steps: detecting, by using one or more sensors, an obstruction inside the bowling ball return device in vicinity of an accelerator belt, turning off, by using processing circuitry, a motor of the accelerator belt of the bowling ball return device and closing, by using the processing circuitry, bowling lanes coupled with the bowling ball return device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a bowling ball return device, and more particularly to a solution for controlling the bowling ball return device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The bowling ball return device is used for returning a bowling ball back to the player(s) after throwing. The bowling ball return device comprise a member like, for example, an accelerator belt to provide a force for returning the ball. The bowling ball return device is coupled with a bowling lane(s) and hence, a bowling pin may sometimes end up in the bowling ball return device. The pin usually causes an obstruction in the bowling ball return device and, if the obstruction is, for example, on the accelerator belt, the bowling ball may be damaged. Therefore, there is a need for more sophisticated bowling ball return device to avoid damages.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0003]The invention is defined by the independent claims.[0004]Embodiments of the invention are defined in the depen...
