One of the verb argument constructions studied by Adele Goldberg in the development of her theory of construction grammar (2).

This construction (1) has the syntax (subj (v obj obl)), where obl (which is short for 'oblique' object) denotes a directional PP. The construction has the semantics X causes Y to move Z, where Z designates a path of motion expressed by the directional PP. The construction is illustrated by the following example: Max sneezed the birthday cards off the table. Like several of the constructions studied by Goldberg, the caused motion construction exhibits constructional polysemy. The properties of the construction are summarised in Table 2.
