Description

Colored baseball {baseball of colors}

The present invention relates to a color baseball, and more particularly, to a color baseball that can be visually increased the discriminating power of the baseball is made of a variety of color colors rather than white.

Baseball is one of the most popular sports. Recently, many people enjoy watching baseball by watching baseball or playing baseball by activating professional baseball and club baseball.

Typically, baseballs are made of small seams made of cork, rubber, or similar materials, spinning wool and cotton threads, layered, wrapped with two pieces of cowhide or artificial leather, and tightly sewn with red thread.

Such a baseball is so hard that it is called a hard ball. Such hardball is mainly used in formal games such as professional baseball, college baseball. Baseball ball, which is distinguished from hardball, is softball formed of soft material.

Recently, balls used in sports of other sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball and golf are manufactured in various colors, while baseball balls are still manufactured in a single color of white.

These white baseballs are hard to see, which can reduce the interest of visitors. In addition, when the ball is a high-fly fly ball artificial white light or sunlight similar to the color of the ball has a problem that leads to the defensive player's mistakes because the ball drops the discriminating power.

In addition, there is a problem that the baseball ball is significantly lowered in discrimination than in the daytime when the twilight is set in the evening or night game.

The present invention was created to improve the above problems, and to provide a color baseball ball that can effectively increase the ability to visually identify the baseball by forming the outer shell of the baseball in a variety of colors out of the white baseball ball There is this.

Color baseball ball of the present invention to achieve the above object is a spherical core; An intermediate layer formed by winding a yarn on an outer side of the core; Surrounding the intermediate layer, a leather outer shell having a color distinct from white; characterized in that it comprises a.

The envelope is characterized in that formed by penetrating the paint containing luminous or fluorescent pigments.

The outer shell is characterized in that formed by penetrating the paint containing the phosphorescent pigment.

The hydrophobic coating layer is formed on the surface of the shell.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively increase the discriminating power of the baseball by visually forming the outer shell of the baseball in various colors. Therefore, the movement of the baseball is much more noticeable than the white baseball, so it is possible to increase the interest of the audience during the game. In addition, it is possible to reduce the error of the defensive players during the game by making a baseball in a color contrasting with artificial lighting or sunlight, and improve the performance by increasing the blow rate of attacking players.

In the present invention, the baseball can be more easily identified during the day by the fluorescent pigment, and the baseball is easily identified at night by the luminous pigment or the luminous pigment.

1 is a partial cutaway front view showing a color baseball ball according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a color baseball ball according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

Referring to FIG. 1, the colored baseball ball of the present invention includes a spherical core, an intermediate layer formed by winding a thread on an outer side of the core, and a leather jacket surrounding the intermediate layer.

The core located in the center of the color baseball is formed into a sphere using a material such as cork (cork) or rubber. The intermediate layer is formed by winding a layer of wool and cotton yarn around the core.

Since the core and the middle layer described above are the same as those of the conventional baseball, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The outer shell of the intermediate layer is made of leather. The leather may be natural or artificial leather such as a cowhide. The outer shell is made of two or three or more eight-shaped pieces of leather closely stitched with red thread.

The present invention has a color in which the skin is distinguished from white. That is, the envelope may be made of a single color except white. For example, the shell may be made of red, orange, orange, blue, light green, purple, and the like.

In addition, the outer shell is made of white, and other colors other than white may be made of two kinds of colors, or may be made of three or more kinds of colors. For example, when two leather pieces are sewn with thread to make an outer shell, one leather piece may be made of white, and the other leather piece may be made of a color other than white.

In order to have a color on the skin, a color paint may be formed on the outer surface of the skin, or the color paint may penetrate the skin to have a color.

As an example of coating, a color paint is applied to the shell by spraying or painting. In addition, it is a matter of course that color can be realized by printing a color paint on the outer skin by a silkscreen method.

In addition, the color may be implemented by a method such as dyeing by immersing the outer shell in a color paint.

Preferably, the color paint which gives a color to the skin contains fluorescent pigments or luminous pigments.

Fluorescent pigments are pigments that fluoresce by artificial light or sunlight. Fluorescent pigment is a pigment that exhibits a unique color by emitting light of a wavelength different from the irradiated light when a specific wavelength of light is irradiated, in the present invention, the color of orange, blue, light green, purple, etc. by artificial light or sunlight It is preferable to use fluorescent pigments.

By the fluorescent pigments in the game under artificial light or sunlight, the outer shell can visually increase the discrimination ability of the baseball visually in contrast to the artificial light or sunlight mainly oriented.

In addition, the luminous pigment emits a baseball in a dark place, thereby facilitating the identification of a baseball at night.

And the present invention contains a photoluminescent pigment as another example of a color paint to give a color to the outer shell.

Phosphorescent pigment is a substance that absorbs and accumulates light energy from sunlight or an electric light source and emits accumulated light at night or when the light is blocked. In the present invention, it is possible to identify a baseball by using the afterglow brightness of the phosphor. do. Photoluminescent pigments can be semi-permanently repeated absorption-accumulation-luminescence process. As the phosphorescent pigment, a conventionally known one and a commercially available one can be suitably used. For example, a strontium aluminate-based material excellent in chemical and optical properties and a zinc sulfide-based material.

These photoluminescent pigments are useful when applied to a baseball because it absorbs enough light energy during the day to emit light at sunset or night.

As described above, the color baseball ball of the present invention is much more noticeable during the day or night than the conventional white baseball ball, so that it is possible to increase the interest of visitors during the game. In addition, the color baseball ball of the present invention is made of a color contrasted with artificial lighting or sunlight mainly focused on white can reduce the mistakes of the defensive players at the time of the game, it can improve the game performance by increasing the blow rate of the attacking players.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, a hydrophobic coating layer may be formed on the surface of the outer shell. Such a hydrophobic coating film imparts waterproofness and antifouling property to the skin.

The hydrophobic coating film may be formed by immersing or applying the shell to a hydrophobic coating solution. It is prepared by dissolving a hydrophobic polymer in a solvent such as distilled water or alcohol with a hydrophobic coating solution. The hydrophobic polymer is an organic material or a polymer having low surface energy, and in particular, an organic material or polymer containing fluorine, or an organic material or polymer containing an alkyl group or a cyclochloroalkyl group. For example, heptadecafluorooctanesulfonic acid tetraethylammonium salt, N-ethyl perfluoro-octane-1-sulfonamide, perfluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride, perfluoroalkylsulfonyl quaternary ammonium iodides, tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride may be used. In addition, a hydrophobic coating film may be formed on the surface of the shell using a known hydrophobic polymer material.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment, which is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. The true scope of protection should be defined only by the appended claims.
