141 DYNAMIC TOY WITH INFLATABLE BLADDER US11276616 2006-03-08 US20060205544A1 2006-09-14 Daniel Wyner; Richard Fox; Roger LaFlamme
An object with a dynamically changeable configuration is provided. The outer surface configuration and/or the weight displacement configuration can be dynamically changed to alter the characteristics of the object, which can be a toy, such as a football, baseball or flying disc. To change the outer configuration of the object, a cover having an outer surface and at least one aperture therethrough is provided. A surface changing member, such as a bladder, is urgable into the at least one aperture to dynamically change the outer surface of the object. To change the weight displacement of the object, the main body includes a first chamber and a second chamber therein where fluid, such as gas or liquid, can flow therebetween. The positioning of the fluid within the first chamber and the second chamber is controlled by a pump and valve system. As a result, the weight displacement of the object is dynamically changeable.
142 Sport ball with self-contained inflation mechanism having pressure indication US10645309 2003-08-21 US07033292B2 2006-04-25 Thomas J. Kennedy, III; Ronald P. Laliberty; Ken Schomburg
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 more likely adding pressure to the ball. The mechanism is a pump which is inside of the ball and which is operable from outside of the ball to pump ambient air into the ball. The pump contains an integral pressure-indicating device to readily determine the relative pressure of the ball.

155 Method for controlling proper inflation of athletic balls US897839 1986-08-19 US4730646A 1988-03-15 Barry H. Traub
The proper inflation of playground balls is controlled by fixing a strap to a predetermined circumference equal to the circumference of the ball at proper inflation. The strap is then placed around the center of the ball and the ball inflated until the strap is tight. The strap is then removed and the ball is properly inflated. The strap may be secured at any of a plurality of settings equal to the circumference at proper inflation of any of a plurality of different balls. The strap is marked with numbers equal to the diameter at proper inflation of the ball to be inflated. The desired circumference of the strap is preferably maintained with a hook-and-pile type fastener.
