Description

Toy ball

The invention relates to a ball, and more particularly to a toy ball.

Generally, baseballs and softballs with heavy weights and hard surface balls are used for passing and catching the ball. It is necessary to use gloves-like equipment for sports. If you pass the ball, catch the ball or softball, the ball speed is fast. And the impact is strong and may cause injury to the ball. Therefore, it is not suitable for young children, women with inflexible behavior or old people.

According to the conventional toy ball, there are several types of spheres: one is made of rubber and is hollow inside, and the air is made to make the ball elastic and used for playing, such as a ball; the other ball is a whole sphere. Solid and elastic rubber material; another ball with soft material (such as cloth or cotton), and the outer layer of cloth or leather material coated with soft material.

The toy ball of the above material has a smooth surface without surface turbulence, or the ball is not easily maintained in a desired shape, so that the path of the toy ball traveling in the air is unstable and drifts, and the toy ball is not resistant to blows. Damage occurred.

In view of the above problems, the structure of the toy ball of the present invention does not require an auxiliary tool and can perform actions such as passing and catching the ball without causing physical injury, and the structure of the toy ball of the present invention has a surface spoiler effect, and The sphere is formed into a desired shape without deformation, so that the toy ball can stably travel in the air without drifting, and is resistant to blows and is not easily broken.

The invention provides a toy ball, the structure of which comprises:
a core layer providing the necessary mass of the toy ball and acting as a sphere forming the sphere of the toy ball;
a buffer layer coated on the surface of the core layer, the surface layer of the buffer layer covering the core layer is uneven, the buffer layer is used to buffer an impact force to impact the core layer; and a skin layer is coated On the buffer layer, the skin layer covering the uneven surface layer of the buffer layer exhibits an uneven surface layer.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the bubble film covering net of the toy ball of the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 through 5, the toy ball 10 includes a core layer 12, a buffer layer 14, and a skin layer 16. The buffer layer 14 includes a mesh sleeve 22 and a bubble film 24.

The core layer 12 provides the necessary mass of the toy ball 10 and as the shape of the sphere forming the toy ball 10, the core layer 12 occupies most of the volume and mass of the toy ball 10. The shape of the core layer 12 can approximate a sphere, an ellipsoid or other geometric shape. The material of the core layer 12 may be rubber, plastic, chemical fiber, natural fiber, paper or metal. In the present embodiment, the core layer 12 of the approximately spherical body is extruded by means of a newspaper. The core layer 12 has the characteristics of being able to quickly restore the shape of the sphere after being struck and struck.

The buffer layer 14 is coated on the surface of the core layer 12. The surface layer of the buffer layer 14 covering the core layer 12 is uneven. The buffer layer 14 is used to buffer an impact force to impact the core layer 12. The buffer layer 14 has the characteristics of being resistant to blows and not broken after being struck.

The mesh sleeve 22 of the buffer layer 14 is overlaid on the surface of the core layer 12 and forms an uneven surface layer. The mesh sleeve 22 may be at least one layer overlaid on the core layer 12. The material of the net sleeve 22 may be Expandable Polyethylene (EPE), Expandable Polystyrene (EPS), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) or Styrene-butadiene rubber (Styrene). Butadiene Rubber, SBR), etc.

The bubble film 24 covers the mesh sleeve 22. The bubble film 24 covers the mesh sleeve 22 with the bubble forming surface of the bubble film 24 facing the mesh sleeve 22. Since the mesh sleeve 22 has a mesh structure, the bubble film 24 covering the mesh sleeve 22 has no bubble forming side. It also presents a meshy uneven surface.

The skin layer 16 is coated on the surface layer of the bubble film 24 of the buffer layer 14, and since the bubble-free side of the bubble film 24 is uneven, the skin layer 16 of the bubble film 24 also exhibits an uneven surface layer. The material of the skin layer 16 is Oriented Polypropylene (OPP), and the skin layer 16 may be formed on the bubble film 24 by immersion, spraying, coating or tape winding with oriented polypropylene.

In another embodiment, the buffer layer 14 is only the mesh sleeve 22, but may not include the bubble film 24, and the skin layer 16 is coated on the mesh sleeve 22 of the buffer layer 14, and such a structure can also achieve the effect of the invention.

A fluorescent agent, a coating pigment or a sticker may be applied between the buffer layer 14 and the skin layer 16, so that the toy ball 10 can exhibit visual functions such as fluorescent, painting or ID recognition of the inner layer to increase the toy ball 10 Entertaining.

The core layer 12 of the toy ball 10 occupies most of the volume and mass of the toy ball 10, and the quality of the core layer 12 can be designed to be suitable for the quality of the freehand ball, so that it is possible to play directly without the need for an auxiliary tool.

The buffer layer 14 (including the mesh sleeve 22 and/or the bubble film 24) between the core layer 12 and the skin layer 16 has a cushioning effect, that is, when an external object such as a bat hits the skin layer 16 of the toy ball 10. At this time, the impact force applied to the skin layer 16 is extended to the core layer 12 through the buffer layer 14, so that the impulse acting on the core layer 12 becomes small, so that the core layer 12 is not damaged, and the core layer 12 can quickly return to the original state. The structure of the sphere.

On the other hand, in the case of freehand catching, the impulse generated by the core layer 12 of the fast-moving toy ball 10 also reduces the impulse of the toy ball 10 acting on the palm due to the buffering effect of the buffer layer 14, thereby reducing the freehand catching. The pain, even if the toy ball 10 touches or impacts on the body does not have a strong pain.

The skin layer 16 of the toy ball 10 is uneven, and when the toy ball 10 travels in the air, the uneven surface of the toy ball 10 can cause a spoiler, and the toy ball 10 can stably travel in the air without drift. The skin layer 16 is made of, for example, a transparent OPP tape, and has the characteristics of being waterproof, resistant to breakage, high adhesion, good hand feeling when catching the ball, and can be manually repaired.

The volume of the core layer 12 should be as large as possible, and the buffer layer 14 and the skin layer 16 should be as thin as possible. Such a ball mass distribution is relatively uniform, and the kinetic energy can be transmitted to the core layer 12 when slap or kick. In order to upload in the direction of the quasi (not eccentric) and distance uploading is far higher.

The invention provides a toy ball, which has the structure of a buffer layer, can reduce the impulse of the toy ball, so that the ball can be passed, the ball can be received without the auxiliary tool, and even if the toy ball touches the body, it will not cause injury. The uneven structure of the skin layer of the toy ball has a surface spoiling effect, and the ball body has a desired shape without deformation, so that the toy ball can stably travel in the air without drifting, and is resistant to blows and is not easily broken, and The inner layer of the toy ball is coated with a fluorescent agent, a coating pigment or a sticker to increase the visual function and entertainment of the toy ball.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and should not be considered as limiting. Various modifications, omissions and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
