Abstract
This table football machine is of the type having a box structure whose rectangular base reproduces a football pitch, in which each transverse vertical wall has an opening corresponding to a goal mouth and whose longitudinal vertical walls carry bearings for eight horizontal rods which are disposed transversely and each of which, mounted pivotably and axially sliding in its end bearings, carries one or more figurines or players of a single team, and is provided, at one of its ends, with a maneuvering handle, all the rods supporting players of a single team being disposed with their maneuvering handles located outside the same longitudinal wall. On the one hand, each rod is composed of a single element and, on the other hand, each longitudinal wall has, at least in the region of each bearing supporting the free end of a rod, a thickness at least equal to the axial travel of this rod.
