BOWLING GAMES, e.g. SKITTLES, BOCCE OR BOWLS; INSTALLATIONS THEREFOR; BAGATELLE OR SIMILAR GAMES; BILLIARDS (balls A63B37/00)

Introduced: September 1968

Description

A63D encompasses mechanical and physical games involving the projection of balls or similar objects toward stationary targets or pins, including traditional bowling, skittles, bocce, bowls, bagatelle, and billiards. The classification covers both the games themselves and associated installations, equipment, and playing surfaces required for their operation. This includes ball-throwing mechanisms, lane constructions, scoring systems, and mechanical apparatus designed to support these recreational activities. Adjacent classifications address other sports and game categories, while A63D specifically focuses on target-based ball games played on defined playing surfaces.
