Definitions

  • the invention relates to a table football.
  • a table football consists of a crate carried by four feet and including a bottom constituting the surface of clearance, two longitudinal sides on which are mounted pivoting the cross bars carrying the players and two transverse sides which carry the cages.
  • Such table football is known from FR-A-2 339 365.
  • each leg is consisting of a metal tube whose upper end is fixed in a gutter or molded sleeve arranged in the corresponding angle of the body.
  • the short length fitting with respect to the height of the foot and the flexibility of the foot favor the movements of the body of the game. This disrupts the movement of the ball and provides annoyance to the game.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a table football structure, less expensive than that of the games of high-end, and providing excellent stability of the checkout during the game.
  • each leg is made up of a hollow and closed box which, in synthetic material, has a width which goes growing upwards and is extended by one ear, extending upward and beyond the outer end of the body, this ear comprising, on the one hand and in its part opposite the cash register, a reception housing and positioning of the end of the longitudinal side and the end of the transverse side, delimiting together one of the corners of the body, and on the other hand and in its wall boxed at the bottom of this housing, at least two sleeves for the passage of the bolt rods ensuring the connection of the components of the angle of the body with the ear of the foot.
  • the feet contribute to the fixing of the elements of the body and are thus rigidly attached to these elements, which, given the rigidity intrinsic feet, avoids any amplification of movements communicated to the cashier by the action of the players.
  • the foot has, at its upper end and in its screw part opposite the opposite foot, a housing for receiving and positioning of a cross member, this housing having a bottom boxed which is provided with at least one socket for passage of the rod of a bolt fixing the cross member to the foot.
  • the table football shown in Figure 1, is, so known, consisting of four feet 2 carrying a box 3 comprising two longitudinal sides 4, two sides transverse 5, and a bottom 6.
  • each of the feet 2 is made in synthetic material, by extrusion blow molding or by welding of two injected shells, and has a width L which goes increasing upwards for a thickness appreciably constant. Due to its manufacturing method, this foot is hollow over its entire height.
  • Each foot 2 is extended, upwards and beyond from the corresponding end of the body 3, by an ear 7 which comprises, in its part facing the cash register, and as shown in FIG. 2, a housing 8 capable of receiving and position the corresponding end on the longitudinal side 4.
  • the bottom of this accommodation, and more precisely the part of boxed wall separating this housing from the outside, is provided with two sockets 9 and 10, corresponding to the bores 11 and 12 formed at the end of the longitudinal side 4, for the passage of connecting bolts 26, 27.
  • Each leg has also, at its upper end, and in its part in opposite the opposite foot, a housing 13 for reception and the positioning of the end of a cross member 14.
  • the wall boxed in this housing is provided with a socket 15 for the passage of a fixing bolt 28 whose utility will be specified below.
  • This housing 13 has a depth e which is less than the depth E of the housing 8. This difference depth is substantially equal to the thickness of the side lateral 4. Furthermore, the housing 13 is lower than the cross 14 is wide. So when the end of the side longitudinal 4 is disposed in the housing 8, the face in end 14a of the crosspiece comes into contact with the bottom of the housing 13 but also, by its upper part, against the inner side of the longitudinal side 4.
  • Figure 2 shows that the cross member 14, made made of injected synthetic material is composed of a panel reinforced by ribs and by angled returns forming lateral and longitudinal bars.
  • the bars side 14b, carrying the edges 14a, are provided with two notches 21 whose center distance is equal to that of the passages 10 and 15 in the foot.
  • This cross can also be obtained by blowing, case in which its geometry is different, but has 21 notches in its bars 14b.
  • Each longitudinal side 4 of the body is made up by a wooden panel in which is formed a groove 16 positioning of the bottom panel 6.
  • Each side is capped by two gutters 17, made of synthetic material injected, fixed on the edge of the side by screws transverse through wells 18.
  • Each gutter 17 which corresponds substantially to half the length of the panel has, in its wings, openings 19 opening downwards and used for positioning bearings 20, visible in FIG. 1, for the bars 22 carrying the players.
  • Each of the transverse sides 5 is constituted by a plastic part, injected or blown, shaped of gutter returned.
  • This gutter is closed at each of its ends by walls 23, from which protrude lateral protuberances 24 capable of covering the part upper end of longitudinal side 4 corresponding.
  • Each protrusion 24 has, in its wall at the end, a notch 25 for the passage of the bolt 26 ensuring the connection of the longitudinal side 4 with the ear 7.
  • the elements of a corner are assembled in covering the end of the longitudinal side 4 by the protrusion 24 on the transverse side 5, then introducing the angle thus formed in the housing 8 formed in ear 7 of the foot.
  • the final link is ensured in engaging the bolt rod 26 in the socket 9, in the bore 11 on the longitudinal side 4 and in the notch 25 of the transverse side 5, then placing the nut corresponding.
  • the rod of the second bolt 27 is put in place in the socket 10 of the ear, then in the bore 12 on the longitudinal side 4.
  • the bar 14 b of the cross member 14 is engaged in its housing 13 and its notch upper 21 is slid under the nut of the bolt 27, while that its lower notch is slid under the nut of the bolt 28, engaged in the socket 15 of the foot.
  • Figure 3 shows that when the body is assembled with the feet, the bottom panel 6 is supported by a console 33, arranged in the middle of the transverse side 5 in the area of the shell 30, and is inserted below a bent return 29 of the gutter-shaped profile constituting the transverse side 5.
  • the assembly of the body is finished in placing the player bars 22, the cages 30 and the baskets 32.
  • the foot ensures not only the positioning of each of the components of a corner of the body, but ensures also fixing these elements together and in relation to him, and this by means of two bolts, the third bolt contributing only to the fixing of the cross-member.
  • the nesting of these elements in housing formed in the ear of the foot gives this assembly a excellent rigidity which opposes the amplification of movements communicated to the cashier by the action of the players operating the bars carrying the players.
  • the foot comprises an upper opening allowing to garnish either synthetic foam, either sand or any other powdery product in order to stiffen and / or weigh it down, to further improve its absorption possibilities of movements.
