Boxer doll and boxing game apparatus employing same

A boxing game apparatus, comprising:

• a pair of boxer dolls, each having a support stage;
• a base releasably mounting the stages with the boxer dolls opposing each other;
• means for releasably holding said base to said pair of stages;
• means disposed in said base, for biasing upwardly a front portion of each stage;
• wherein said boxer doll comprises a pair of articulate arms rotatably pivoted on a shaft provided in a should portion, a pneumatic actuator operatively connected to the pair of articulate arms, an air supply tube having an inner end portion connected to the pneumatic actuator and an outer end portion, a glove adapted to be held in the hands of a player and corresponding to the pair of articulate arms and being movable by a player and connected to the outer end portion of said air supply tube, pump means disposed in said glove and being connected through said air supply tube to said pneumatic actuator for driving the pneumatic actuator in accordance with translating movements of the glove initiated by the player while the glove is being held in the hand, a head provided on a top end of a rotation member pivoted on a body of said doll, said rotation member being connected with an engage means through link means, said engage means being released when said head is rotated to a rear side of said doll to allow said doll to be knocked down rearwardly.

A boxer doll operable by a player, comprising:

• a body:
• at least one articulate arm movably connected to the body:
• a fluid actuator disposed within the body and being operatively connected to the at least one arm;
• and
• generating means coupled to the fluid actuator and held by the player for generating a motive fluid in the fluid actuator in response to translating hand movements of the player, thereby articulating the arm,
• wherein the generating means is an inertial pump having an inertially movable weight.

A boxing game comprising:

• a pair of boxer dolls;
• a base for supporting the pair of boxer dolls;
• and
• means for releasably holding the pair of boxer dolls to the base, wherein each boxer doll comprises:
• at least one articulate arm movably connected to the body, a fluid actuator disposed within the body and being operatively connected to the at least one arm, and generating means coupled to the fluid actuator and held by the player for generating a motive fluid in the fluid actuator in response to translating hand movements of the player, thereby articulating the arm,
• wherein the generating means comprises an inertial pump having a movable weight.
