Pneumatic soccer game

Abstract

A pneumatic game apparatus. The apparatus comprises a table. The table comprises a horizontal top surface and peripheral side walls. Side walls extend above the top surface of the table. The table is provided with four apertures located at four opposite corners of the table. The apertures are located within the peripheral side walls at the corners. A plurality of manual pump means project air in a substantially horizontal manner from each aperture, across the top surface of the table. The plurality of pump means are positioned at a respective corner of the table and have outlets. Mounting means to mount each on the plurality of pump means are provided for rotation of the outlets about a vertical axis. One play object is positionable on the top surface of the table. The projected air streams move the play objects on the top surface of the table under a control of opposing players manipulating each of the plurality of manual pump means and manipulating the direction of the air streams, through rotation of the outlets.

1 . A pneumatic game apparatus comprising:
 a table, said table comprising a horizontal top surface and peripheral side walls, said side walls extending above the top surface of the table, said table provided with four apertures located at four opposite corners of the table, said apertures being located within said peripheral side walls at said corners;   a plurality of manual pump means to project air in a substantially horizontal manner from each aperture, across the top surface of the table, each of said plurality of pump means being positioned at a respective corner of the table and having an outlet;   mounting means to mount each of said plurality of pump means for rotation of each of the outlets about a vertical axis; and   at least one play object positionable on the top surface of the table,   
       whereby the projected air streams move said play object on said top surface of said table under a control of opposing players manipulating each of said plurality of manual pump means and manipulating a direction of the air streams, through rotation of the outlets. 
     
     
         2 . The pneumatic game apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of pump means is selected from a group comprising bellows and manual pistons. 
     
     
         3 . The pneumatic game apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the corners of the table top, where the apertures receiving outlets of the pump means are located, are curved inwardly. 
     
     
         4 . The pneumatic game apparatus according to claim, wherein the rotation of the pump means outlets is restricted to a range of approximately 90 degrees.
