Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To obtain a play ball in which a cartoon character is clearly drawn with a three-dimensional effect on a spherical surface, which can be floated on water while having a sufficient mass feeling. SOLUTION: On a spherical surface 1a of a solid ball body 1 made of an elastic substance having a specific gravity smaller than water, a convex portion 3 for exposing a picture 2 of a cartoon character is integrally formed by bulging. At least two or more types of poorly water-soluble colorants different from the ground color of the ball body 1 are applied to the portion of the pattern 2 in different colors.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a game ball having a colorful three-dimensional pattern.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 By providing a raised part on the spherical surface of an infant's play ball, it can jump in unexpected directions, put a pattern on the spherical surface in an uneven shape, or draw a pattern on the smooth spherical surface itself. Is known (literature unknown).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, none of the conventional examples is intriguing. Providing only a protrusion on the spherical surface is not very interesting. By simply putting a design on the spherical surface in a concave and convex shape, the design is unclear and difficult to distinguish unless the spherical shape is significantly deformed. Simply drawing a pattern with colors on a smooth spherical surface lacks the three-dimensional effect.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an original ball shape, a cartoon character is formed in a three-dimensional shape with a color on a spherical surface, which is interesting for infants, a so-called super ball. The ball is on offer. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a play ball that can be floated on water even in a bathtub.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the game ball has a convex portion 3 for integrally displaying a cartoon character pattern 2 on a spherical surface 1a of a solid ball body 1 made of an elastic substance having a lower specific gravity than water. It is characterized by being formed by bulging and applying at least two or more types of poorly water-soluble coloring materials, which are different from the ground color of the ball body 1, to the portion of the pattern 2 in different colors. It is preferable that the picture 2 is colored in the convex part 3 constituting the picture.

[0006]

[Action]

 The ball body 1 is formed of an elastic substance having a specific gravity smaller than that of water. This causes the ball body 1 to float on the water. Examples of the elastic substance include a natural rubber or a synthetic rubber, and a soft synthetic resin material. The ball body 1 is formed by forming the convex portion 3 on the spherical surface of the outer surface at the time of molding, and then painting two or more different colors on the portion of the pattern 2 appearing on the convex portion 3. Will be painted.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the ball of the present invention is solid, it has a sufficient mass feeling in response, but floats on water. Therefore, infants can play with the ball in the bathtub while taking a bath. At night stalls, etc., it is possible to adopt a sales form in which the ball is floated on the water and scooped in the same way as scooping goldfish.

[0008] Since the ball of the present invention is made of an elastic material, it can be rolled on the floor or bounced against the floor or wall, so that normal ball play can be enjoyed. At this time, the convex portion 3 of the spherical surface 1a of the ball body 1 causes the ball to bounce in an unexpected direction, which is interesting.

In the present invention, at the time of molding the ball body 1, after the convex portion 3 for causing the pattern 2 to appear on the spherical surface 1 a is integrally formed, the color of the pattern 2 is painted. That is, after the ball body 1 is formed, the color painting operation is started. Therefore, the ball body 1 in which the three-dimensional pattern 2 is formed on the spherical surface 1a can be mass-produced with one mold, and can be manufactured inexpensively as a whole.

The design 2 of the present invention is three-dimensionally formed by bulging the convex portion 3 on the spherical surface of the ball body 1 and is colored. Moreover, since the pattern 2 is painted with at least two or more different coloring materials different from the ground color of the bow body 1, the pattern 2 can appear with a clear three-dimensional appearance. Picture 2 is remarkably interesting because it is a cartoon character. Since the colorant is poorly water-soluble, it can be prevented from discoloring even if the ball is floated on water. If the convex portion 3 is colored in the portion of the picture 2, there is an advantage that the standing shape of the picture 2 becomes clearer and more realistic.

【Example】

 In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an elastic ball body which is solidly formed of a soft synthetic resin material. On the outer surface of the ball body 1, that is, almost half the area of the spherical surface 1 a, a picture 2 of a cartoon character is formed three-dimensionally by integrally molding the convex portion 3 with the ball body 1.

In this way, the convex portion 3 constituting the picture 2 is colored with four types of poorly water-soluble coloring materials different from the ground color of the ball body 1. More specifically, the ground color of the ball body 1 is black, the symbol 2a in the picture 2 is red, the symbol 2b is green, the symbol 2c is yellow, and the symbol 2d is silver-white. And painted. In the green portion 2b and the silver-white portion 2d, the protruding portions 3 are further unevenly formed to make the contour of the picture 2 clearer.
