Abstract
A bowling pin orientation device for orienting to a single axial orientation bowling pins of the type having a relatively heavy base portion and a relatively light neck portion. The device includes an arm disposed beneath a horizontal shelf from which bowling pins fall, tipping differently depending on whether base-first or neck-first. The arm extends downwardly and away from the shelf and is disposed so that the neck of a neck-first pin slides along the arm causing the pin to move to a base-down orientation while not receiving the base of a base-first pin so that the base-first pin also moves to a base-down position. The arm preferably includes a projecting finger at its lower end to deflect upwardly the neck of a pin sliding down the arm. The arm can be adjustably positioned across a turnaround pan of the conventional type.
