67 Ball for ball game and method for manufacturing the same US10539221 2002-12-20 US07427246B2 2008-09-23 Harufusa Taniguchi; Hideomi Shishido; Shigeo Doi; Yoshihisa Okimura
The ball for a ball game of the invention includes a fabric layer (1) having a spherical 12-hedron where twelve right pentagonal fabric pieces (2) are sewn together. The marginal edges of the fabric piece being folded by 90 degrees, and the marginal edges are sewn together with a sewing machine. The fabric layer is then reversed through cross-like slits (5a, 5b) formed in the fabric layer in a location opposite to a valve opening (5) (also formed in the fabric layer) in such a manner that the marginal edges are located on an inner side of the fabric layer. After the bladder is accommodated within the fabric layer through the closure hole (5), the hole (5) is closed by a patch. Onto a surface of the fabric layer, there is adhered the panels. Thereby, the ball for a ball game having no unevenness and soft feeling is attained.
68 Sport ball with self-contained inflation mechanism having pressure relief and indication capability US11035149 2005-01-13 US07278937B2 2007-10-09 Ronald P. Laliberty; Michael Maziarz
An inflatable sport ball, such as a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, a volleyball or a playground ball, is provided with a self-contained inflation mechanism, or multiple self-contained inflation mechanisms, for inflating or adding pressure to the ball. The mechanism is a pump which is retained inside of the ball and which is operable from outside of the ball to pump ambient air into the ball. The pump additionally contains an integral pressure relief device to selectively relieve the pressure of the ball. Instead or in addition to the pressure relief device, the pump optionally contains a pressure indicating device to determine the relative pressure of the ball. The pressure indicator provides a numerical indication of the internal pressure of the ball as measured or determined by a pressure sensor.

A sportsball includes a ball cover, a bladder disposed in the ball cover, and a stress absorbing layer provided between the ball cover and the bladder. The ball cover has a valve hole provided thereon and consists of a plurality of panels each having a predetermined shape connected edge to edge to form a roundness shape. The bladder includes a rubber bladder ball, an exterior web layer integrally adhered on an outer surface of the bladder ball, and a valve stem which is mounted on the bladder ball and is outwardly extended through the valve hole of the ball cover for air inflation. The stress absorbing layer consists of a plurality of sheets each has a predetermined shape corresponding to the shape of the panel and each sheet is attached to an inner surface of the panel of the ball cover to provide a uniform thickness of the ball cover. Therefore, the stress absorbing layer is adapted for not only increasing a contact area between the bladder and the ball cover but also evenly distributing and absorbing an impact force and a stress applied on the sportsball.

76 Football with odd number of panels US7360 1998-01-15 US5961407A 1999-10-05 H. Jay Spiegel
A football is made in "regulation" size and shape for high school, college and professional football or generally proportional thereto. However, instead of having four panels and four seams as is conventionally the case, an odd number of panels and seams, for example, five panels and seams is provided. When kicking an oblate spheroidal football, the place kicker normally kicks the football at a location diametrically opposite to the location of the laces of the football. By providing an odd number of panels, the disclosed football is preferably kicked at a location where no seam is located thereby enhancing the effectiveness and accuracy of kicking. If desired, the panel opposed to the laces is reinforced with an internal reinforcing panel which internally covers the entire panel. Alternatively, two reinforcing patches are provided, each of which is located at a "sweet spot" of the football. In either case, the weight of the reinforcement is preferably equalized to the weight of the laces so that the football remains balanced. Where the football has an odd number of panels greater than four, the cross-sections defined by the short circumference and by circumferences in parallel planes to the short circumference are closer to circular than is the case with a conventional four panel football, thereby resulting in reduced wind resistance and greater accuracy and distance when thrown or punted in a spiral as compared to a conventional four panel football. Where the football is made of at least five panels, when the quarterback grips the laces with his fingers, the thumb may reach and engage the second seam away from the laces to provide an enhanced grip.

In one embodiment, the panel opposed to the laces is reinforced with an internal reinforcing panel which internally covers the entire panel. In a second embodiment, two reinforcing patches are provided, each of which is located at a "sweet spot" of the football. In either embodiment, the weight of the reinforcement is equalized to the weight of the laces so that the football remains balanced.
78 Variable weight playball US281937 1994-07-28 US5462273A 1995-10-31 Donald Spector
A variable-weight playball whose outer casing is formed of liquid-impervious, flexible material, having a closable port therein. Confined within the casing is a compressible body having the same configuration which depends on whether the ball is spherical or in some other shape. The body is formed of low-density, open-cell, flexible foam plastic material having sponge-like properties. To impart heft to the ball, water is introduced through the port into the body and absorbed thereby, the port then being closed to retain the water. To thereafter lighten the ball, the port is opened and the ball is squeezed to discharge water through the port until the ball has the desired reduced weight, after which the port is closed. The casing may be contoured, printed or otherwise arranged so that the ball simulates the head of a humanoid or animal-like character having a mouth. The port of the casing is integrated with the mouth of the character so that when water is added to the ball, it is seemingly introduced through the mouth.
79 Variable-weight play pieces US989353 1992-12-11 US5380002A 1995-01-10 Donald Spector
A variable-weight play piece, such as a ball or bat, the weight of the piece depending on the amount of water dispersed within a compressible internal body confined within a water-impermeable outer casing. The casing, whose shape is determined by the nature of the piece, is provided with a port having a removable closure, at least one section of the casing being flexible so that when manually pressed in, it acts to compress the internal body, and when pressure is released, the body then resumes its original shape which conforms to that of the casing. The internal body is formed of open-cell, flexible foam material having sponge-like properties. To impart heft to the play piece, the port is opened and pressure is applied to the flexible section of the casing to compress the internal body and thereby expel air therefrom through the open port. The pressure is then released to cause water introduced through the port to be drawn into and absorbed by the body, the port then being closed to retain the water in the play piece. To thereafter reduce the weight of the play piece, the port is opened and the internal body compressed to expel water therefrom through the open port.
80 Split weight bladder football US112919 1993-08-30 US5342043A 1994-08-30 Joseph F. Baltronis; Thomas J. Kennedy
A football comprising a generally elliptical bladder, generally oval panels seamed thereover, lacing components along one seam and at least a pair of spaced apart counterweights secured to the bladder at locations spaced from a location diametrically opposite said lacing components and equal to the weight of said lacing components so that there is no abatement of punting or kicking efficiency while still allowing a true spiral pass to be thrown.
