  • Patent number: 6302394
    Abstract: A game table includes an elongate horizontal base wall, and two short side walls and two long side walls to confine a simulated soccer field space. At least two manipulating rods are mounted rotatably and transverse to the long side walls in a first axis. Each rod has two end portions protruding to be outboard to the long side walls so as to form two handle grips thereon, and at least one torso portion secured thereon so as to rotate therewith. A lower limb portion is disposed between each torso portion and the base wall, and includes upper and lower ends, and an intermediate section pivoted to the respective torso portion such that when the upper end is pulled, the lower end will swing about a second axis transverse to the first axis. A cord member has a connecting end secured to the upper end, and a pulled end led towards the handle grip such that a jerking of the pulled end towards the handle grip will actuate the swinging of the lower end.
