Oil clearing apparatus for bowling ball

Abstract

Disclosed is an oil clearing apparatus for a bowling ball which clears oil on a surface of a bowling ball by using high-temperature heat, thereby preventing the bowling ball from sliding due to the oil applied to a lane of a bowling alley, and is utilized for the purpose of keeping the bowling ball warm and heating the bowling ball, as well as storing the bowling ball.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An oil clearing apparatus for a bowling ball, the oil clearing apparatus comprising:
 a housing having an upper body and a lower body installed separately from the upper body;   a heating unit provided in at least one of the upper body and the lower body; and   a casing installed inside the upper and lower bodies of the housing to support the bowling ball while the bowling ball is heated by the heating unit.   
     
     
         2 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heating unit installed in at least one of the upper body and the lower body maintains a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time by a control unit connected to the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a drain unit is connected to the casing located in the lower body, a support unit for supporting the bowling ball is provided inside the casing, and a positioning boss for fixing the bowling ball is provided at a lower portion of the casing. 
     
     
         4 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the drain unit includes a drain hole, an L-shaped guide groove configured to close the drain hole and a collection box having a fixing boss corresponding to the guide groove and coupled to the guide groove through vertical movement and rotation thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heating unit includes a heating coil installed at an inner periphery of the housing. 
     
     
         6 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heating unit includes a heating chamber, a second heating coil provided at an inner side of the heating chamber, a blower fan provided in the heating chamber, and a vent hole. 
     
     
         7 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a plurality of stoppers received in the casing to prevent interference with the bowling ball and support a shelf during a discharging operation and a knob formed at an outer side of the housing. 
     
     
         8 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an adiabatic member is filled in the casing at one side of the heating unit. 
     
     
         9 . The oil clearing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper body of the housing has a height smaller than a height of the lower body so that a center of weight of the housing is located in the lower body.
