Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a figurine for table football and a table football equipped with this figurine.
  • the foosball figurines are, generally, carried by horizontal bars themselves carried, with possibility of limited axial sliding, by the vertical vertical walls of a box whose rectangular bottom is supposed to represent a football field.
  • Each bar is equipped, at one of its ends, with an operating handle making it possible to animate the figurines which it carries with movements of rotation and translation to allow one of them to strike a ball, which simulates the soccer ball, to send it into the opponent's goal cage or to a figurine belonging to the same team in order to make it a pass.
  • each figurine is in one piece and has two transverse holes located substantially at the level of the abdomen and horizontal when the figurine is standing, namely a transverse hole oriented from one side to the other and same diameter as the bar, to allow its engagement on it, and a hole oriented from front to back and allowing the installation of a pin which also crosses a bore provided radially in the bar for its passage and which is, the more often, consisting of a bolt.
  • This arrangement which gives all satisfaction in terms of operation has, however, the disadvantage of being a high cost price due to the relatively long assembly operations it requires.
  • the visible ends of the bolts detract from the aesthetics of the figures.
  • each figurine is made up of two elements which can be assembled to one another by snap-fastening at the level of the abdomen, that is to say at the level of their engagement on a bar, at least one of which has, at its assembly end, a recess in the form of a cylinder segment of the same radius as the bar, allowing its engagement thereon and at least one of which has a nipple oriented radially relative to the bar and which is intended to be engaged in a bore formed radially in the bar to receive it.
  • the holding of the figurines on the bars depends, in large part, on the strength of the snap which holds them assembled. Consequently, it is hardly possible to envisage their frequent disassembly to exchange them with other figurines or even to modify their distribution on the bars without risking weakening the behavior of their assembly.
  • the present invention aims to remedy all the drawbacks by providing a figurine for table football game of simple constitution, at low cost price, easy to disassemble and reassemble on a bar and having, however, excellent behavior.
  • the shocks to which the latter is subjected have no effect on the strength of the assembly of the two elements together, only the rod must be able to resist them to prevent the rotation of the figurine around the bar and its axial displacement on it.
  • the main element of the figurine whether in one or two pieces, on the one hand, has an axial well of the same diameter as the rod of the second element, the opening of which is oriented towards the assembly end of the second element, passing through the transverse hole and extending beyond it to serve as a housing for the rod of the second element, and on the other hand, the length of the rod is sufficient to allow it to pass through the bar right through and to engage in the extension of the aforementioned well, beyond the bar, this axial well serving as a support bearing, on either side of the bar, to the rod which serves as an axial connecting pin and in rotation from the figurine to the bar.
  • the axial rod of the second element is conical with a slight slope and the well formed axially in the main element is of complementary shape.
  • the end of the engagement of the axial rod of the second element in the axial well of the first causes the rod to jam in the well.
  • the rod of the second element or terminal element carries, in the vicinity of its free end, at least one radial lug and the bar has, in each of its segments capable of receiving a figurine, a longitudinal light capable of allowing the free end of the rod to pass and each lug with which it is provided, this terminal element being intended to be pivoted after passage, through the aforementioned light , of each lug of the rod, of an angle allowing each lug to leave the field of light to ensure the attachment of the second element to the bar.
  • the angle of rotation of the second element to ensure its attachment to the bar is 90 ° .
  • table football games include two teams, each of which includes eleven figurines 3 distributed over several bars 2, some of which are interspersed with similar bars supporting the figurines of the other team.
  • the handles for operating the bars 2 supporting the players of the same team are arranged on the same longitudinal side of the box reconstituting the football field.
  • Each figurine 3 must be rigidly fixed to the bar 2 which supports it so as to be able to withstand the shocks it undergoes when the bar 2 is suddenly rotated, in one direction or the other, to make it strike a ball supposed to represent the football, in order to send it into the goal cage of the opposing team or to direct it towards a figurine 3 of the same team to make it a pass.
  • the bar 2 which supports them is moved axially abruptly, the end figurines 1 are subjected to relatively violent lateral impacts, despite the presence, in certain games, of damping devices.
  • each of them consists of two elements, respectively a first element or main element 3a generally hollow and reconstituting almost the entire body of the figurine and a second element or terminal element 3b in the form of a spherical cap and reconstituting only one of the ends of the body of the figurine, that is to say say its head, as in the example illustrated in the drawing, or its feet, and which, in the example illustrated in the drawing, can be assembled to the first element by cylindrical wedging.
  • This cylindrical jamming is obtained by engagement of a cylindrical bore 3'b opening into the lower part of the second element or head 3b of the figurine, on the upper end or neck 3'a of the main element 3, the bore 3'b having the same diameter as the neck 3'a of the main element 3a.
  • terminal element or head 3b carries a rod 7 coaxial with its cylindrical part 3'b whose function will be described in detail later.
  • the main element 3a of each figurine 3 is in one piece and, in this example, as is known per se, the main element 3a has a transverse hole 4 the crossing right through, from one side to the other, that is to say parallel to the plane of FIG. 2, and whose diameter is substantially equal to that of the bar 2.
  • This through hole 4, which is therefore perpendicular to the axis 5 of the figurine 3, allows the mounting of the latter on a bar 2. After mounting the figurine 3 on a bar 2, the hole 4 is obviously kept horizontally.
  • the latter has as many through radial holes 6 as it is capable of supporting figurines 3.
  • each figurine 3 on the bar 2 is carried out first by engagement of its main element 3a on this bar 2 until its longitudinal axis 5 is in coincidence with the drilling radial 6 of bar 2 corresponding to the location chosen for this figurine 3. After fitting the main element 3a, it is then sufficient to engage the second element or head 3b on the neck 3'a of the element main 3a, which has the effect of making the cylindrical rod 7, integral with the second element 3b, penetrate inside the main element 3 and cause it to cross, in the manner of a pin, the bar 2 by the radial bore 6 chosen, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the rod 7 of the second element 3b must be provided with a sufficient length to allow it to pass right through the radial bore 6 of the bar 2 and to project beyond bar 2 per ra pport to the second element 3b.
  • the axis of the rod 7 is coincident with the axis 5 of the main element 3a.
  • the second element or terminal element 3b reconstitutes the head of the figurine 3, that is to say the end which suffers the least impact since, generally, it is the other end of a figurine, that is to say the one corresponding to his feet, which is used to strike the ball.
  • This choice has the advantage of further reducing the risks of disassembly of the elements 3a and 3b, since the assembly zone is not subjected to any constraint.
  • This well 8 therefore crosses the transverse hole 4 and extends beyond.
  • the cylindrical rod 7 As shown more particularly in FIG. 4, after assembly of the terminal element 3b with the main element 3a, the cylindrical rod 7 almost completely fills the well 8 by crossing, in passing, the bar 2 by the chosen hole 6 . In this way, the cylindrical rod 7 is perfectly held on either side of the bore 6 chosen from the bar 2. The rod 7 therefore, practically, does not work in bending, but, exclusively, in shearing.
  • This arrangement therefore relieves it of a very appreciable fraction of the stresses to which it would be subjected in the absence of the well 8.
  • This arrangement therefore makes it possible to produce the rod 7 like the whole of the terminal element 3b and of the main element 3a , economically such as, for example, a moldable and injectable plastic.
  • the design of this figurine 3, its method of assembly and its method of attachment to the bar 2 therefore allows, obviously, to disassemble and remove it as many times as desired without ever harming the solidity of the assembly of the two elements.
  • the axial rod 7 of the second element 3b is conical at a slight slope and the well 8 formed axially in the main element 3a is of complementary form. It follows that the end of the engagement of the rod 7 in the well 8 causes the first to be stuck in the second.
  • This arrangement contributes to providing excellent solidity in the engagement of elements 3a and 3b of the figurine, this arrangement being able to be provided in addition to the engagement of the bore 3'b of the terminal element 3b on the neck 3 ' a of the main element 3a or simply to replace this assembly, the conical wedging of the rod 7 in the well 8 being considered sufficient.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention in the case of its application to a figurine 3, the main element 3a of which consists of two parts 31 a and 31 b reproducing, respectively, the bust and the pelvis and the legs, these parts being assembled to one another by snap-fastening at the level of the abdomen by engagement, on the bar 2, of the notch, respectively 32a, 32b, that each of them has at its end of assembly.
  • Each notch 32a and 32b has a semi-cylindrical bottom with the same radius as the bar.
  • the length of the rod 71 secured to the terminal element 31b, constituting the head of the figurine 31, is sufficient to allow it to penetrate the bar 2 by passing through a longitudinal light 61 formed in the cylindrical wall of this bar, but insufficient for its free end 7a to reach the wall part of the bar 2 diametrically opposite to the light 61 and, on the other hand, the rod 7 is equipped, in the vicinity of its free end 7a, of two radial lugs 9 diametrically opposite and positioned so as to be substantially at the level of the internal face of the wall of the bar 2 surrounding the lumen 61, at the end of engagement of the terminal element 3b.
  • the light 61 has a contour allowing the passage of the end free mite 7a of the rod 7 and its lugs 9, when the latter are oriented parallel to the axis 2a of the bar 2.
