Abstract

The present invention provides a kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, which is composed of foamed or non-foamed spherical ball skin, would be formed based on a spherical empty ball model, and an air hole was designed on the spherical ball skin; in addition, a proper thin seam would be cut on the surface of ball skin as the ball line shape of the spherical ball skin, so that some cotton can be squeezed into the interior of spherical ball skin, and the thin seams would be sealed through bonding (integration closely, suturing) to form a cotton-stuffed ball of good safety. Accordingly the inflation or pressure relief of the ball would be controlled well through the air hole for function selection of higher or lower elasticity.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

  • 1) Field of the Invention

  • The present invention mainly provides a kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, in which a foamed or non-foamed spherical ball skin would be extruded with plastic or rubber materials; in addition, some proper thin seam would be cut on the surface of ball skin as the ball line shape; furthermore, some cotton would be squeezed into the interior of spherical ball skin, and the thin seams would be sealed through bonding (integration closely, suturing) to form a cotton-stuffed ball of good appearance and emulational feel. Accordingly, the higher or lower elasticity can be obtained for safety under the interior inflation or pressure relief state.

  • 2) Description of the Prior Art

  • The prior inflatable balls, such as basketball, football and volleyball and so on, all have great injurousness for their giant impact. As far as the use concerned, not only is the great and spacious space required, but also should the casting force be considered into, so that the pain upon human body or damage dangerousness to any article can be avoided; in addition, the prior cotton-stuffed

    ball

    1 of good safety was formed by means of putting and plane cloth sheets (leather sheets) according to the

    outline

    11 and 12 (as shown in

    FIG. 1

    ) together and suture the

    seams

    13 and stuffing some cotton into the

    ball

    1, which is hard to make the

    cloth sheets

    11 and 12 (or leather sheets) form true roundness (as shown in

    FIG. 2

    ), and look not good. Accordingly, that ball only can be classified into a toy (not ball). Further the

    ball

    1 loads and absorbs the impact with the embedded cotton, so the

    ball

    1 would not bring any dangerousness to human body or articles, and only the lower elasticity can be obtained. That is the main factor that it only applies to indoor use and infant at lower age (senior ones would feel uninteresting while playing it). Accordingly the performance of this kind of balls would not be presented and the balls would not be used widely.

    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

  • The primary objective of the invention herein is to provide a kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, in which a foamed or non-foamed spherical ball skin would be extruded with plastic or rubber materials; in addition, some proper thin seam would be cut on the surface of ball skin as the ball line shape; furthermore, some cotton would be squeezed into the interior of spherical ball skin, and the thin seams would be sealed through bonding (integration closely, suturing) to form a cotton-stuffed ball of good appearance and emulational feel. Accordingly, the higher or lower elasticity can be obtained for safety under the interior inflation or pressure relief state.

  • Another objective of the invention herein is to provide a kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, in which the spherical ball skin was molded as an organic whole based on a spherical empty ball model, accordingly, a ball of good appearance and true roundness closely can be obtained.

  • Yet another objective of the invention herein is to provide a kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, in which the foamed or non-foamed spherical ball skin with different lines made with plastic or rubber were designed for different touch and quality feels for the difference while for different types and good appearance design.

  • Still another objective of the invention herein is to provide a kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, which has good performance in waterproof. Accordingly it applies to the water activities particularly.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

  • As for the structural embodiments and utilization of the present invention as indicated in FIGS. 3, 4-A and 4-B:

  • The improved cotton-stuffed ball the present invention provides is composed of foamed or non-foamed

    spherical ball skin

    2, which would be formed based on a spherical empty ball model, and an

    air hole

    21 designed on the

    spherical ball skin

    2; in addition, a proper

    thin seam

    3 would be cut on the surface of ball skin as the

    ball line shape

    22 of the

    spherical ball skin

    2, so that some cotton can be squeezed into the interior of

    spherical ball skin

    2, and the thin seams would be sealed through bonding (integration closely, suturing ) to form a cotton-stuffed ball of good safety (as shown in

    FIG. 3

    ). And while puffing through the

    air hole

    21, the air will be full of the structured interval of the

    cotton

    4 to make the interior of

    ball

    5 filled with air and produce enough elasticity. Accordingly higher elasticity can be obtained (as shown

    FIG. 4

    -A). On the other hand, while releasing the air in the

    ball

    5 through the

    air hole

    21, the

    ball

    5 will not be full of air when no air A, and lower elasticity can be obtained (as shown in

    FIG. 4

    -B). Therefore the good utility in function selection can be achieved.

Claims (4)

1. A kind of improved cotton-stuffed ball, which is composed of foamed or non-foamed spherical ball skin formed based on a spherical empty ball model, and an air hole designed on the spherical ball skin; in addition, a proper thin seam would be cut on the surface of ball skin as the ball line shape of the spherical ball skin, so that some cotton can be squeezed into the interior of spherical ball skin, and the thin seams would be sealed through bonding (integration closely, suturing) to form a cotton-stuffed ball of good safety. Accordingly the inflation or pressure relief of the ball would be controlled well through the air hole for function selection of higher or lower elasticity.

2. The Improved Cotton-stuffed Ball, as recited in

claim 1

, wherein said, it can be made of plastic or rubber.

3. The Improved Cotton-stuffed Ball, as recited in

claim 1

, wherein said, the foamed or non-foamed spherical ball skin with different lines made with plastic or rubber were designed for different touch and quality feels for the difference while for different types and good appearance design.

4. The Improved Cotton-stuffed Ball, as recited in

claim 1

, wherein said, it was designed based on a spherical empty ball model which can determine the specification and appearance of the spherical ball skin
