Abstract

The utility model discloses a ball, which has high air resistance and is capable of stopping rapidly when rolling on a flat surface or a slightly slant surface. The ball is provided with fin-shaped projections which are disposed on the surface of the ball through stitching, bonding, or molding. The fin-shaped projections have a height ranging from 2.0mm to 20.0mm, according to a desired effect. Cells of the fin-shaped projections are designed such that the fin-shaped projections must be rolled over before further rolling of the ball. The ball realizes basic tradeoff between a normal movement degree of a ball when being kicked or rebounded and a reduced flying duration time and between the normal movement degree and a reduced distance for stopping rolling. In a preferable embodiment, the fin-shaped projections are stitched to seams of a football stitched according to a conventional structure, and the football, while having the same functions with conventional footballs in most respects, flies a shorter distance and stops rolling more rapidly.

Be used to make and the variation of the various materials on the surface of the football that is shaped though prior art has been set forth, make football have maximization air drag and ball to stop to rebound and just minimize that ball will continue the degree of rolling but the needs that keep other performances (comprising its intact basically bounce-back) of this ball in case still exist.

The utility model content

The utility model can provide and satisfy the football of FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) to the size and the specification of weight, and has reduced simultaneously and play common football with identical power and compare the distance that ball can be kicked out of.The utility model has reduced the amount that ball will roll, and no matter is on flat surface or the surface in some inclination.The utility model can be accomplished this effect through outstanding fin-shaped grid pattern is provided to ball from the surface of in addition common spheroid.

An aspect of the utility model is the football with interior spheroid, and this interior spheroid has the surface and is arranged in a plurality of fin-shaped protrusions on this spherome surface.These a plurality of fin-shaped protrusions are interconnected to form predetermined pattern from the teeth outwards.Each protrusion extends similar amount from the surface, this is measured in 2mm to the 30mm scope outside from the interior spheroid surface, the degree that this depends on the size (scope that is directed against the FIFA of the official size of football is 3 to 5) of football or seeks effect.These fins can be through the any-mode in the variety of way (comprise make or bonding) by attached.These fins can also be molded on the surface of ball.

The utility model be football on the other hand with grid of finlike component, this finlike component has the coefficient of friction intentionally more much higher than the coefficient of friction of the surfacing of most of balls.The friction (or " fastening (grip) ") that increase be provided of this higher coefficient of friction between ball and other surfaces (comprising the sportsman).

The another aspect of the utility model is the ball with flexible fin-shaped grid element.These elements subside under pressure, absorb energy thus.

Summarily described the utility model, those skilled in the art can recognize its above-mentioned and other purposes, characteristic and advantage from the following detailed description of the utility model when combining accompanying drawing.
