<p>The invention relates to a pin-setting apparatus for bowling or skittle lanes (3'-6') comprising a plurality of pins (3-6), wherein each pin is connected to an associated string (3'-6'). The apparatus comprises for each pin (3-6) a rotatable pulley (13-16) arranged to roll up and/or off the associated string (3'-6') and detecting means arranged to detect a movement of the pin (3-6) when hit directly or indirectly by a bowling ball, and activating means arranged to rotate the pulley (13-16) so as to roll off the string (3'-6') as soon as the pin (3-6) gets hit. This way, the pin (3-6) will not be obstructed by possible tension in the string (3'-6') and will move as if it was not attached at all.</p> |
