Field of the Disclosure
The disclosure relates to game devices and more particularly pertains to a new game device for playing a simulated game of soccer.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a box that has a basal wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the basal wall. A first goal is coupled to the peripheral wall and a second goal is coupled to the peripheral wall. A ball is positionable on the basal wall. A plurality of figures is provided and each of the figures is movably coupled to the basal wall. Each of the figures may be manipulated. The figures are spaced apart from each other and are distributed on the basal wall. Each of the figures selectively strikes the ball such that the ball is selectively urged toward a selected one of the first goal and the second goal.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The top surface 28 has indicia 30 printed thereon. The indicia 30 comprises a line 32 that is oriented parallel to the front side 22 and the back side 24. The line 32 extends between the first lateral side 18 and the second lateral side 20. The line 32 bisects the basal wall 14 into a first half 34 and a second half 36. The indicia 30 further include a circle 38. The circle 38 is centrally positioned on the basal wall 14 such that the line 32 bisects the circle 38.
A first goal 40 is coupled to the peripheral wall 16 and the first goal 40 is positioned on the inner surface 26 corresponding to the front side 22. A second goal 42 is coupled to the peripheral wall 16 and the second goal 42 is positioned on the inner surface 26 corresponding to the back side 24. Each of the first goal 40 and the second goal 42 may comprise a central section 44 extending between a pair of upright sections 46. The upright sections 46 may be spaced apart from each other. The upright sections 46 may extend upwardly from the basal wall 14 such that the central section 44 is spaced from the basal wall 14. Thus, each of the first goal 40 and the second goal 42 may have an ornamental appearance of a soccer goal.
A ball 48 is provided. The ball 48 is positionable on the basal wall 14. The ball 48 may roll freely along the top surface 28 of the basal wall 14. The ball 48 may have an ornamental appearance of a soccer ball.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.
A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
