Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a table football, that is to say a table football game of the type comprising a box whose rectangular bottom reproduces a football field, each transverse vertical wall of which has, in its center, an opening corresponding to a goal cage and whose longitudinal vertical walls carry the bearings of eight horizontal bars, arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the box and each of which, pivotally mounted and axially sliding in its end bearings, carries one or more figurines or players of the same team, according to its location on the box with their feet flush with the bottom of the box and is provided, at one of its ends, with an operating handle, all the bars supporting the players of a same team being arranged with their operating handles located outside the same longitudinal wall of the box.
  • Part of foosball consists of maneuvering the bars supporting the players to strike a ball representing the soccer ball so as to send it into the goal cage of the opposing team while preventing it from entering its own cage of goal. For this, it is generally expected four participants, two for each team, each of which grasps, in each hand, the operating handle of a player support bar.
  • each bar consists of two coaxial elements mounted, sliding one inside the other so that the end of this bar opposite to that equipped with a handle. maneuver remains fixed, never protruding beyond the longitudinal wall supporting it while the free end of the element equipped with the operating handle only moves axially relative to the fixed element.
  • the coaxial and sliding mounting of the two elements of each bar is expensive if it is carried out in good conditions of solidity and durability.
  • each bar is composed of a single element and, on the other hand, each longitudinal wall of the box has, at least in the region of each bearing supporting the free end of a bar, a thickness at least equal to the axial stroke of this bar so as to be able to accommodate this free end regardless of the axial position of the bar .
  • this table football is constituted, as is known per se, by a box 2 whose rectangular bottom 3, which reproduces a football field, is surrounded by four vertical walls, namely two transverse walls 4 and two longitudinal walls 5.
  • each transverse wall 4 At the center of each transverse wall 4 is formed an opening 6 constituting a goal cage behind which is provided a cavity 7 intended to retain the ball 8 serving as a soccer ball each time a goal is scored by penetration of this ball 8 in the opening 6 of the corresponding cage.
  • the longitudinal walls 5 of the box 2 support, by means of bearings 9, horizontal bars 11a to 11d, and 12a to 12d arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bottom 3, that is to say parallel to the transverse walls 4 of the box 2.
  • Each bar 11a to 11d and 12a to 12d supports one or more figurines, each of which represents a player from one of the two foosball teams who are opposed to each other on the ground formed by the bottom 3 of box 2, a single bar supporting only players from the same team.
  • bars 11a, 11b on the one hand and 12a, 12b on the other hand which respectively support the goalkeepers 13 and 14 and the rear side 15 and 16 of the two teams and which are adjacent to each other
  • the other bars that is to say the bars 11c, 11d of one hand and 12c, 12d on the other hand, are arranged alternately, that is to say that each of them is framed by two bars supporting the players of the opposing team.
  • Each bar 11a to 11d, 12a to 12d is mounted freely pivoting and axially sliding in its bearings supported by the longitudinal walls 5 of the box 2. Naturally, the sliding stroke of each bar is limited according to the number and the position of the players that she supports.
  • Each bar 11a to 11d and 12a to 12d is equipped, at one of its ends, with an operating handle 11′a to 11′d allowing the participant in this part of foosball to rotate and slide it to as it pleases while its opposite end is free.
  • all the bars 11a to 11d on the one hand and 12a to 12d on the other hand are arranged so that their operating handle is located outside the same longitudinal wall 5 of the box 2.
  • a table football game consists of bringing together four participants who settle in pairs, along each of the longitudinal sides 5 of the box 2, each pair of participants being intended to operate the bars 11a to 11d and 12a to 12d respectively. players on the same team. Each participant therefore grasps two operating handles, one in each hand.
  • the objective of the game is to maneuver the bars supporting the players of his team, so as to penetrate the ball 8 into the opening 6 delimiting the opposing cage while preventing the opposing players from penetrating this ball 8 into the opening 7 defining its own cage.
  • the free end of a bar in particular when it is moved axially in the direction opposite to its operating handle, at least in the area of the bearing 9 supporting this free end, has a width at least equal to the maximum axial stroke of this bar so that this free end is always housed in the thickness of the wall 5 which supports its bearing 9, never protruding at the outside of this wall.
  • each wall 5 has a recess 17a to 17c and 18a to 18c suitable for housing this handle when the bar with which it is associated and moved at the end of the race towards its free end.
  • the bar 12d is shown, in solid lines, in one of its extreme positions and, in phantom, in its other extreme position. It appears from the examination of this figure that, in their two extreme positions, the free ends of the bars are always housed inside the longitudinal walls 5, without ever protruding outside these walls and that, in the 'one of their extreme positions, the operating handles of these bars are also erased inside the recesses provided to serve as housing in this extreme position.
  • table football according to the invention does not cause any weakening of the bars supporting the players and that it is, moreover, without any noticeable effect on its cost price.
