Electro-mechanical table football or hockey game - has player pieces provided with permanent magnets and guide rod system, with magnetic steel centre in ball

摘要

The electro-mechanical table football or hockey game has the goal-keeper equipped with permanent magnets on the lower arms and shins, for attracting and holding the game ball. The guide rod system of the person playing permits him to incline the goal keeper forwards or backwards in order to pick up the game ball, to throw it out or to kick it out. The game ball consists of a hollow ball having a second ball in its interior made from solid magnetic steel. This increases the ball holding force on both goalkeeper and field players, but at the same time permits a braked rolling of the ball.
