Abstract
A bowling lane having a substantially flat top surface including a foul line end and a pin deck end, the improvement comprising a method and assembly of a polymer sheet of polycarbonate having a thickness between about 0.63 and 2.50 mm, overlaid onto the top surface between the foul line end and pin deck rear end and having a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion, a strip of double-sided adhesive tape beneath the leading edge portion for securing to the foul line end, and double-sided tape beneath the trailing edge portion for securing it at the pin deck end. Any other mechanical fastening system may also be used to adhere the sheet to the lane. The polymer sheet may be 100% polycarbonate, but may also include a first layer that optionally comprises a lubricious polymeric material such as Teflon.RTM. in combination with polycarbonate. The polymer sheet undersurface is free of adhesive. A similar sheet, preferably of slightly greater thickness, is preferably applied to the approach and adhered at the front and rear edge portions by strips of double-sided tape across the width of the approach. A similar sheet may also be applied to the pin deck area.
