A detachable ball inflation and deflation device is disposed in a cavity of a ball. The device includes an air inflation unit, a non-return unit, and a reinforcement sleeve. By applying a force to press the air inflation unit repeatedly, the air outside the ball passes the non-return unit to enter the inside of the ball so as to inflate the ball, and the air filled into the ball won't deflate. The device has the function to deflate the ball in a quick way. When the air inflation unit is pulled out of a portion of the ball, the air inside the ball can be deflated quickly, so that the ball can be carried and stored conveniently. |

A nozzle assembly has a main body that is hollow. A hose connection is formed on the main body to receive a fluid. A stem extends away from the main body, and the stem is hollow. A tip is formed on an end of the stem, and the tip has a fluid outlet. An extension member extends away from the main body. A balloon retainer is connected to the extension member. The balloon retainer has an opening facing the fluid outlet. The balloon retainer is shaped so that inflation of a balloon to a greater inflation pulls a neck of the balloon off the stem to a released position so that the balloon flies off the stem. |

An electronic air pump pressurizes object in either manual or automatic mode. In automatic mode, the electronic air pump determines air pressure needed to adjust an object to a set target pressure. The electronic air pump inflates or deflates the ball automatically until the air pressure inside the ball matches the preset value. In manual mode regulation of the air pressure is adjusted by a user. |

A stability ball inflation and deflation system includes a stability ball with a bore, and a plug within the bore walls. An air-control module engaged within the axial channel of the plug selectively allows air to pass in one or both directions. The air-control module includes a one-way air valve, and a cap releasably sealable to the plug. An airway extending from the one-way valve provides fluid communication with the interior of the stability ball. An inflator adapted to engage the one-way air valve may be removably coupled to the air valve, and provide air passages to direct air from a pressurized air cartridge into the stability ball. |

A trampoline has a trampoline bed with a bounding surface, and a trampoline bed bounding surface. A trampoline frame holds the bounding surface substantially horizontally to provide an area for a user. A balloon coupler is attached to the trampoline. A bounce module is mounted underneath the trampoline bed bounding surface. The bounce module is placed to receive motion from a user. The user activates a mode of the bounce module during jumping. A conduit hose is attached to the balloon coupler. A one-way valve is configured to regulate flow only to the balloon, and blocking any flow away from the balloon. A pump may pump water or air to the balloon. A balloon is attached to the balloon coupler so that the balloon is in fluid communication with the conduit hose. |

An inflatable game ball containing a noise suppression device and a method for inflating the game ball are described. More particularly, a free standing, noise suppression disk is fit snuggly within a central area of the hollow internal cavity formed by the bladder of the game ball. The diameter of the noise suppression disk is slightly larger than the diameter of the hollow internal cavity of the ball, while the thickness of the disk is sufficient to provide necessary rigidity to the game ball noise suppressor without adding excess weight to the ball. An exact amount of SF6 is pre-filled in the balls, when combined with subsequent air, is determined to create the ultimate SF6 to air ratio range at various altitude levels. Subsequently, the balls are only partially inflated at the time of manufacture with the SF6 gas, and no air. |

This invention refers to a base with inflated mechanism for vending machine of deflated balls integrated by an exterior pedal connected to two pneumatic pistons joined in its superior part to a manometer, of which a hose joins connected to a T form connection which in its inferior part includes a pulley wheel to which two springs attached join to the internal walls of the vending machine that allows the hose with valve that is located in the exterior of the machine to inject the air to the ball. The T connection, joins another hose that in its final part has one relief valve covered in the exterior of the machine by a lever that releases the flow of air injected to the ball. |

An inflation needle for inflating an object such as a sports ball includes a tubular body having an attachment end configured for engagement with a fluid supply. 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 component. |

Ciber Chiu |
An exercising device includes a ball, and a rod extended through the ball. Thus, the ball has a periphery formed with two through holes each having a peripheral wall formed with a pressing lip which presses the rod closely after the ball is inflated to form a sealing effect to seal the chamber of the ball to maintain the air in the chamber of the ball, so that the ball is sealed on the rod exactly without incurring air leakage. In addition, the manufacturer only needs to form two through holes in the periphery of the ball without having to form a hollow channel which is extended through the whole diameter of the ball, thereby facilitating fabrication of the ball, and thereby decreasing costs of fabrication. |
