Simulated table football game

Claim 2

A simulated table football game device comprising, a game board having a goal at each end, a plurality of figures simulating football players movable on said board, manipulating means for moving certain of said figures in their entirety and individually, said individual manipulating means for each figure including a hollow handle connected to the respective figure at one end thereof, a squeezable resilient bulb at the other end of each handle for blowing air through said hollow handle, a system of passages in the adjacent figure connecting air from said hollow handle to a nozzle near the foot portion of said figure fro propelling a ball adjacent to the foot portion of said figure, said certain figures corresponding to the attacking members of a soccer football team, the other figures being defensive members of each team, individual handles extending beyond the adjacent end of the table for manipulating said defensive figures, and said other figures and their handles being correlated by magnetic means for manipulation.

Claim 3

The invention specified in claim 1, and swingable foot-like members pivoted on the foot portion of said certain figures and extending over said nozzle whereby air blown through said nozzle swings said foot-like members for kicking the adjacent ball.

Claim 4

The invention specified in claim 1, and said hollow handles connected to said certain figures of one team being spaced higher from said game board than the hollow handles on said certian figures of the other team to permit limited crossing of the respective paths of movement during manipulation, and all the hollow handles being spaced higher from said game board than the height of said defensive Figures to permit manipulation of the attaching members past the opposing defensive members toward the respective goal.

Claim 5

A simulated table football game device comprising, a game board having a goal at each end, a plurality of figures simulating football players movable on said board, manipulating means for moving certain of said figures individually, said individual manipulating means for each figure including a hollow handle connected to the respective figure at one end thereof, a squeezable resilient bulb at the other end of each handle for blowing air through said hollow handle, a system of passages in the ajdacent figure connecting air from said hollow handle to a nozzle near the foot portion of said figure for propelling a ball adjacent to the foot portion of said figure, said certain figures corresponding to the attacking members of a soccer football team, the other figures being defensive members of each team, individual handles extending beyond the adjacent end of the table for manipulating said defensive figures, said other figures and said handles being correlated by magnetic means for manipulation, a goal keeper figure in front of each goal being movable across the goal, movable arms on said goal keeper figure resiliently held in an initial position, a manipulating handle extended from said goal keeper figure for moving said goal keeper figure in the path of the ball, and manipulatable means correlated with said handle for moving the arms together for catching the ball at the will of the player.

Claim 6

A simulated table football game device comprising, a game board having a goal at each end, a plurality of figures simulating football players movable on said board, manipulating means for moving certain of said figures individually, said individual manipulating means for each figure including a hollow handle connected to the respective figure at one end thereof, a squeezable resilient bulb at the other end of each handle for blowing air through said hollow handle, a system of passages in the ajdacent figure connecting air from said hollow handle to a nozzle near the foot portion of said figure for propelling a ball adjacent to the foot portion of said figure, said certain figures corresponding to the attacking members of a soccer football team, the other figures being defensive members of each team, individual handles extending beyond the adjacent end of the table for manipulating said defensive figures, said other figures and said handles being correlated by magnetic means for manipulation, a goal keeper figure in front of each goal being movable across the goal, movable arms on said goal keeper figure resiliently held in an initial position, a manipulating handle extended from said goal keeper figure for moving said goal keeper figure in the path of the ball, and manipulatable means correlated with said handle for moving the arms together for catching the ball at the will of the player.

Claim 7

A simulated table football game device comprising, a game board having a goal at each end, a plurality of figures simulating football players movable on said board, manipulating means for moving certain of said figures individually, said individual manipulating means for each figure including a hollow handle connected to the respective figure at one end thereof, a squeezable resilient bulb at the other end of each handle for blowing air through said hollow handle, a system of passages in the adjacent figure connecting air from said hollow handle to a nozzle near the foot portion of said figure for propelling a ball adjacent to the foot portion of said figure, said hollow handle on said certain figures of one team being spaced higher from said game board than the hollow handle connected to the other of said figures to permit manipulation of opposing figures crossing one another''s path.

Claim 8

A simulated table football game device comprising, a game board having a goal at each end, a plurality of figures simulating football players movable on said board, manipulating means for moving certain of said figures individually, said individual manipulating means for each figure including a hollow handle connected to the respective figure at one end thereof, a squeezable resilient bulb at the other end of each handle for blowing air through said hollow handle, a system of passages in the adjacent figure connecting air from said hollow handle to a nozzle near the foot portion of said figure for propelling a ball adjacent to the foot portion of said figure, said hollow handle on said certain figures of one team being spaced higher from said game board than the hollow handle connected to the other of said figures to permit manipulation of opposing figures crossing one another''s path.

Claim 9

The invention specified in claim 5, and substantially perpendicular ends and sides surrounding said board, elongated slots in each of said ends, each slot slideably accommodating one of said hollow handles.
