Abstract

See full text

The present invention comprises a gutter channel for bowling alleys. In particular, the present invention comprises a bowling alley gutter having a symmetric cross-section. The symmetric cross-section leads to both left and right gutters being identical, eliminating the possibility of misinstalled gutters. The bowling alley gutter of the present invention comprises a structure having a shape similar to a segment of a cylinder subtending an arc of approximately 117 degrees with a circular radius of approximately 5.625 inches. At the terminating ends of such circular arc, acute angular bends, approximately 29 degrees and 0.375 inches in length, directed away from the center of said cylinder, have been placed. Metal having a vinyl coating securely laminated thereto is a convenient material for the gutter of the present invention. The present invention also relates to a design for mounting clips for such a bowling alley gutter allowing particularly efficient installation and replacement.
