Bowling practice device

Abstract

A bowling practice device which allows individuals a means by which to practice those techniques required to improve their bowling abilities is disclosed. The bowling practice device comprises an inflatable frame that houses a separate floor piece, panel pieces and a rear wall which once inserted and placed interiorly within the inflatable frame add the appropriate stiffness and structure for placement of a targeting cushion. In use, the bowling practice device may be set up for the beginning bowler, league bowler, or the advance bowler. By placing the targeting cushion in a proper orientation within the inflatable bowling practice device frame, it allows more targeting for the beginning bowler, who has to attain proficiency in their release and targeting. The targeting cushion may also have imprinted targeting markers for allowing a league to practice ball placement at a particular board, as is typically displayed on a bowling lane.

         11 . A bowling practice device for a bowler using their bowling ball, comprising:
 an inflatable frame member having longitudinal sidewalls, a bottom portion and a rear wall wherein said rear wall and said bottom portion are seamlessly connected by opposite longitudinal sidewalls thereby creating a bowling lane area in which a targeting cushion is placed for use in bowling practice wherein the bowler throws their bowling bowl into said inflatable frame member wherein hitting said targeting cushion increases the bowlers proficiency in releasing and throwing their bowling bowl for later use when they bowl.   
     
     
         12 . The bowling practice device according to  claim 11  further including a rear panel placed against said rear wall wherein said rear panel is fabricated from a semi-rigid memory foam material adding structure and stiffness to the bowling practice device. 
     
     
         13 . The bowling practice device according to  claim 11  further including left and right panels placed against an interior of said longitudinal sidewalls wherein said left and right panels are fabricated from a semi-rigid memory foam material adding structure and stiffness to the bowling practice device. 
     
     
         14 . The bowling practice device according to  claim 11  further including an interior floor piece placed in association with said left, right and rear panels said interior floor piece fabricated from a semi-rigid memory foam material adding structure and stiffness to the bowling practice device. 
     
     
         15 . A bowling practice device for a bowler using their bowling ball, comprising:
 an inflatable frame member having longitudinal sidewalls, a bottom portion and a rear wall wherein said rear wall and said bottom portion are seamlessly connected by opposite longitudinal sidewalls wherein said inflatable frame is generally trough shaped and sized to snugly fit a targeting cushion wherein said targeting cushion is allowed to slide along said bottom and sidewalls when hit with a bowling ball for use in bowling practice wherein the bowler throws their bowling bowl into said inflatable frame member wherein hitting said targeting cushion increases the bowlers proficiency in releasing and throwing their bowling bowl for later use when they bowl.   
     
     
         16 . The bowling practice device according to  claim 15  further including a rear panel placed against said rear wall wherein said rear panel is fabricated from a semi-rigid memory foam material adding structure and stiffness to the bowling practice device. 
     
     
         17 . The bowling practice device according to  claim 15  further including left and right panels placed against an interior of said longitudinal sidewalls wherein said left and right panels are fabricated from a semi-rigid memory foam material adding structure and stiffness to the bowling practice device. 
     
     
         18 . The bowling practice device according to  claim 15  further including an interior floor piece placed in association with said left, right and rear panels said interior floor piece fabricated from a semi-rigid memory foam material adding structure and stiffness to the bowling practice device.
