A support which can tip to release a bowling pin therefrom and which may be part of a transport mechanism, holds bowling pins in essentially horizontal position. A pair of sensing levers is arranged near the discharge position of the pins from the support, the sensing levers being horizontally spaced so that one lever will engage the neck or head portion of the pin, whereas the other lever will engage the bulged body portion thereof. The levers are interlocked in such a manner that the specific respective lever which senses presence of the head or neck portion therebeneath will remain in locked position during release movement of the support, whereas the other lever is free to release the pin, so that the pin will be restrained at the head or neck portion, regardless of its horizontal alignment, and always be tipped away from the support with the body portion first.
