Definitions
- the present invention refers to a table game which are applicable to basketball, football and other like games.
- the ball is driven by means of an air jet provided from a nozzle fitted at each perforated cavity and by the performance of the player against a bellows associated to the respective nozzle.
- Each nozzle is conveniently guided and an air jet can be provided to the nozzles of several cavities with a control or bellows.
- the present improved table game have essentially been devised featuring the arrangement in each cavity of a nozzle with two or more air jets holes for the same player, said air jets being related to respective controls which are independently depressed by the same player, the air jets being angularly guided in different directions, whereby by depressing one or other control or two or more concurrently with the same or different pressure, the ball from the same court point may thus be directed towards one side or the other or in a more or less frontal or tilted direction, even with a major or minor elevation, i. e. towards all possible directions on the plane of the playing ground.
- Figure 1 shows in a schematical and partially fragmented plan view a table game making up a football ground.
- Figure 2 shows a side elevation view of this same game with a cross-section of one of its ends.
- Figure 3 shows in a cross-sectioned elevation view made following the III-III line of the figure 1, a detail of the structure from one control to the nozzle, and
- Figure 4 shows in a cross-sectioned elevation view, a detail of the setting up of a nozzle with incorporation of the character of a football player.
- this game comprises a football ground made up with a moulded upper plate 1 around which a handrail 2 is provided as moulded in the same way which can inwardly simulate for example a step, the plate 1 making up a series of tapered cavities 3 conveniently distributed according to the basic rules of the football game, each cavity relevant to a football player and respective characters 4 of football players (figure 4) being arranged contiguous to the cavities and said plate 1 being whereby marked with the relevant lines 5 marking off the football ground.
- Each of these nozzles has two outlets 11, 12 relevant to respective controls of each pair, said outlets being obliquely guided in a converging way, so that when the pushbutton 6a or 6b of a pair of controls is for example depressed, an air jet in laterally opposed ways will be obtained.
- this third direction can be relevant to the pressure applied upon each of the two controls, whereby the ball can thus be directed towards another cavity 3 or towards the goal 13 wherein is also provided a nozzle 10, in this case supplied with four outlets 14 to give to the goalkeeper character still more chances of stopping the ball.
- the playing mode can be referred as follows: two or more players may participate in the game, each provided at least with a pair of controls making possible a duplicate access to several nozzles, whereby for example with the pair of controls 5a, 5b, a concurrent access to the three nozzles is possible and with the controls 6′a, 6′b the access to four nozzles is also provided.
- the opponent player can withstand the attack by attempting to interfere or deviate the ball course to avoid any eventual pass to a player of the same team or a throw to the goal, or even deviate the ball towards one of the own team for a counter-attack.
- each nozzle can be provided with more than two outlets and the controls to be also more than two for each player, in this way the ball can possibly be directed towards much more directions, thereby the ball being subjected to three or more air jets to different directions, either laterally orientated or in elevation; the ball can thus be driven possibly towards any direction on the plane of the playings ground.
- numeral reference 15 is shown the possible existence at the bottom of the cavity 3 of an outlet for an elevated air jet.
- the bellows can possibly be replaced by another compressed air supply source, for example by means of a cylinder-piston unit, or air coming from a compressor or any other means.
- the game In the event the game is played on a basketball, hockey court or any other type of ground court, the game will be provided with any associated accessories to develop in a simulated way the playing of any of said sporting events.
