ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a new and improved bumpering system for guarding the channels (gutters) of a conventional bowling lane. The bowling lane is of the type having a longitudinal bowling lane bed, a pair of elongated channels parallel to and abutting each side of the bowling lane bed, an approach and foul line at one end of the bowling lane bed and a pin deck at the other end thereof. The bumpering device comprises deflection means permanently mounted within the channel, the deflection means having associated therewith extension and retraction means for extending the deflection means to an upright position thereby abutting the bowling lane bed for deflecting bowling balls that may be directed toward the channel and retracting the deflection means to a nested position within the channel thereby permitting bowling balls directed toward the channel to fall thereinto.
