ABSTRACT:
A new recessed rail deflector or bumper for a bowling alley comprises a rail or bumper that rises vertically adjacent to the edge of the bowling alley lane. The rail or bumper is concealed in a longitudinal pocket or well formed in the gutter with the top of the rail forming a small portion of the gutter surface adjacent to the edge of the lane. The new rail or bumper is totally non-obtrusive when retracted and therefore is harmonious with the gutter and lane and hidden from view. A simple four bar linkage causes the rail or bumper to rise into position to prevent balls from entering the gutter in "bumper bowling".
