Abstract: A vehicle for carrying an object or an individual includes an underframe with a rolling device, and a carriage supported by the underframe. The carriage is made up of at least one reinforcement and a flexible covering matched to the developed surface of the reinforcement, covering and fixed to the reinforcement. The reinforcement includes a central framework generally having the shape of a trough, made up of two flanks on either side of a base, a flat bottom, the middle part of which is adapted to be gripped between the two flanks of the central framework, which rests flat on a base, and a hoop. The hoop is matched to the contour of the flat bottom and two middle parts that are separated from one another by a distance that is compatible with the separation of the two flanks of the central framework.
Abstract: A table football figurine includes of two complementary pieces, a male piece and a female piece, respectively, which can be assembled together after engagement of a notch onto a rod segment. A bottom of the notch is shaped so as to match the rod segment. Each rod segment is capable of receiving a figurine and has at least one hollowed-out deformation, which does not open outwardly. The notch of at least one of the two pieces constituting each figurine has, in correspondence with each hollowed-out deformation of the rod segment, a projection of complementary shape capable of engaging, without play, in the corresponding hollowed-out deformation of the rod segment.
Abstract: Disclosed is a board game for two players that includes a flat, smooth playing surface (10), a round puck (16), two round bats (15 and 15') and two goals (17 and 17'). A rail (12) borders the playing surface to keep the puck on the playing surface. The aim of each player is to strike the puck with a bat into the opponent's goal, while blocking the puck from entering his/her own goal. The extremely light weight puck, which has a diameter of 64 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, has the shape of an extremely shallow, inverted cone with the side (18) having an angle of 0.3 degree. When the puck is struck by a bat, air rushing against the underside of the cone-shaped puck lifts the puck completely off the playing surface, such that the puck glides on a thin cushion of air. Because the puck travels across the playing surface without friction against the surface, the puck can maintain very high speeds to greatly challenge the dexterity and reaction of the players as they try to strike or block the fast moving puck.
