Ball Accelerator Device for use with a Ball Lift Assembly

A method for accelerating a bowling ball for use with a ball lift assembly, the method comprising:

• engaging a first set of rollers with a rotating belt of the ball lift assembly;
• engaging a second set of rollers the rotating belt of the ball lift assembly, wherein each roller of the first set of rollers and the second set of rollers is freely rotatable upon engaging with the rotating belt;
• securing the first set of rollers and the second set of rollers to a top bracket that comprises a securing assembly that is secured to a cylindrical tube assembly of the ball lift assembly;
• and
• when the rotating belt rolls a bowling ball, the first set of rollers and the second set of rollers maintains a frictional engagement of the bowling ball between the rotating belt and a lift rail of the ball lift assembly.

A ball accelerator device for use with a ball lift assembly, the ball accelerator device comprising:

• a first set of rollers configured to engage with a rotating belt of the ball lift assembly;
• a second set of rollers configured to engage with the rotating belt of the ball lift assembly, wherein each roller of the first set of rollers and the second set of rollers is freely rotatable upon engaging with the rotating belt;
• a top bracket comprising a securing assembly configured to secure the ball accelerator device with a cylindrical tube assembly of the ball lift assembly;
• a first side bracket, the first side bracket is configured to hold the first set of rollers, and the first side bracket comprises a first set of through holes configured to receive a first set of fasteners to hold the first set of rollers;
• and
• a second side bracket configured to hold the second set of rollers, the second side bracket comprising a second set of through holes configured to receive a second set of fasteners to hold the second set of rollers;
• wherein when the rotating belt rolls a bowling ball, the ball accelerator device is configured to maintain a frictional engagement of the bowling ball between the rotating belt and a lift rail of the ball lift assembly.
