The body fairs into a tubular probe extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end configured for being inserted into the ball. A concavo-convex base extends radially outward from the body and towards the distal end, terminating at a periphery spaced radially from the probe, the base being configured to engage the object upon insertion of the probe therein. The inflation needle is a unitary, molded polymeric component. | ||||||

| 76 | Apparatus for picking up, transporting, and storing balls | US923367 | 1997-09-03 | US5951075A | 1999-09-14 | Peter F. Green |
| Apparatus for picking up, transporting and storing balls comprises two oposing planes separated by tension elementss which when forced over a solid, hollow or pressurized sphere simultaneously stretches the tension elements and/or compresses the sphere sufficiently to permit the sphere entry between the planes. Once the sphere is between the planes it is kept in place by the forces created by the stretched tension trying to regain their original unstretched configuration and the pinched sphere trying to regain its original configuration by trying to expand out. | ||||||
| 77 | Inflator | US788420 | 1997-01-27 | US5875810A | 1999-03-02 | W. Gordon Dallas; James F. Harrington |
| A device (10) for inflating an object such as a ball (B) includes spaced arms (13, 14) carried by a bar (12). The arms (13, 14) are spaced a predetermined distance approximating the properly inflated diameter of the ball (B). An inflation needle (24) is positioned generally midway between the arms (13, 14) and is adapted to provide air under pressure, received through flexible tubing (26), to the ball (B). A clamp bar (28) is pivotally attached to one of the arms (13, 14) and has an aperture (33) therethrough to receive the tubing (26). When the ball (B) is being inflated, it will engage and pivot the clamp bar (28) until it pinches the tubing (26) to terminate the air flow to the needle (24). | ||||||

| 80 | Inflatable bag with inner and intermediate containers and gas generation substances within inner container | US866346 | 1986-05-23 | US4781645A | 1988-11-01 | Kenichi Kato |
| An inflatable bag comprises a small sack which is charged with sodium bicarbonate and accommodating a small externally breakable container filled with an acidic solution. The small sack is enveloped in an inflatable bag member which is made of a synthetic resin having no permeability to the gas which is generated as a reaction between the sodium bicarbonate and the acidic solution. As the small container is collapsed by external pressure, the acidic solution flows out of the container into reaction with the sodium bicarbonate, thereby generating carbon dioxide gas. The small sack is punctured by the gas pressure with a sound of a bang or a whistle and, thereafter, the inflatable gas member is gradually inflated. It is possible to use a plurality of small sacks made of a material which exhibits small extension, such that one small sack is contained in another sack. With this arrangement, the "bang" can be generated repeatedly or the whistles blown successively by the same number as the number of the small sacks used. | ||||||
