Application tiled March 1,1894 .Serial No. 501.956.5610 model.)

Toa/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known thatl, FREDBIK G. DoKKEN-' WADEL, a citizen of the United States, resid-l ing at Union City, in the county of Randolph and State of Indiana, have` invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bowling- Pinsrandl do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and reference being had vto the acand to the letters of of this specication. v

My' invention relates to improvements in bowling pins, more` generally o-r. commonly termed ninefI or ten pins, and the object of my invention is the provisionv of a pin which will be entirelyvnoiseless and/ which will thus overcome a serious objection toth'e common pinin use. 1 f f Another object`0f niy invention' is the 'pro visionr'of a pin which will be' free from 'noise Aand-'which will not injure the ball or be in" closedherein.

jure'd by the'ball owing to the hard .contact and further 'which' will stand in the proper upright position and further which will-be inexpensive otproduction and practical in everyparticular. I

To attain the desired objects the invention consists' of a.l vbowling pin embodyingnovel features of construction substantially as-dis-v s a side elevation of the Figure 1 represen pin. ,Figa/.2 represents a vertical sectional In the drawings, A

' shape and the core` of my pin is preferablycomposed oftwolsecti'ons B, secured together in any suitable manner, but in-this-instance i by dowel' and socket 'connection C, andthe sections are formed inthe lower portion with.

- grooves'or'recesses'which form-the' socket'D,

in'which is .located -vthe weight This weight yis provided' with a handle E', and with rubber or ,elastic bands E2,

Y inthe socketwhere 1 e the purpose of which is to sustainttherweight at'any point vcore, andthe t'is moved by the handle. v I would say that the weight'may be adj usted f inthe socket by" a screw thread connection or in fact in any other manner. Over the s ec-l tions or cor'e I place a rubber or elastic or iexible "covering" F, which' entirely surrounds or covers the core and which renders the pin 55 noiseless when knocked about which is of paramount importance'. This covering is se- ,cured andretained in place upn the core byl means ofthe cap orerrnle-G, having the openingto permit the insertion of the finger to move 60" the weight. Eron this co'nstruction'it will bei 4seen that I provide a pin which is 'entirely noiseless enablingthegame to be played inl'the parlor or house; which will stand properly,

which is o f 'inexpensive construction and 65 lwhi ch is entirely practical andl desirable.
