Description
oct. 64 1925. 1,556,099 J. J. GILSON COVER FOR SEMISOLID BALLS Filed Jan. 22'. 1924 Patented Qct. 6, 1925.
UNITED STATES JAMES J. GILSON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
COVER FOR SEIJIISOLID BALLS.
Application filed January 22, 1924.
To all tf1/tom, t may concern Be it known that l, Janine J. GrLsoN, a citizen ot the United States, residing lat Philadelphia, in the county oi' Philadelphia and tate oi Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Covers -for Jemisolid Balls, o'r which the iollowing is a specilication.
My invention relates to Covers for semisolid balls, suoli as baseballs, and its objects are to provide a cover and method of applying the same whereby the cover may be made with a minimum waste oi material and the ball produced at low cost.
These objects, and other advantageous ends which will be described hereinafter, 1 attain in the following manner, re;LL :e being had to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a view of a ball constructed in accordance with my invention,
Figure 2 a modified form oi Figure 1,
Figure 3 another form,
Figure e a modified form oi Figure 3,
Figure :5 an enlarged fragmentary section through a seam oi the cover illustrating the manner in which the edges are sewed,
Fi" re G a View similarv to Figure 5 rating the edges of the cover abutting each other otter being sewed,
Figures and 8 are developed plan views ot a part of the cover shown in Figure 1, and l Figure 9 a developed plan view of a part oi the cover shown in Figure 3.
ieiierring to the drawings, 1 indicates a ball having any suitable {illing such as wound cord, "felt or stuffed material., and covered by my improved cover 9 rl`hc cover is made in semispherical sections 3 and 4 sewed to each other at their edges 5 and 6 b v stitching 7. In Figure 1, the semi-spherical sections comprise a pair of ligure-8 pieces 9 and 10., the piece 9 being cut in hallc lengthwise to provide parts 11 and 12 and the piece 10 being cut in half crosswise to provide parts 13 and 111. The parts 11 and 13 are sewed to each other at 15 to torni tl e semi-spherical section 3 and the parts 12 a Ld 111 are sewed to each other at 16 to Serial No. 687,682.
of quarter-spherical- sections 17, 18, 19 and 2() connected at their edges by stitching as shown at 21. Each oi these quarter-spherical-sections are madeup of' similar parts 22 oi a iigure8 out in the form shown in Figure 9. These parts 22 are sewed at their edges 23 to torni the quarterspherical-sections.
n Figure Li, I have shown the quarterspherical-sections in one piece as shown at 1721, 18a, 19a and 20a. These sections may be molded into shape before being applied to the ball.
The edges of the cover parts may be stitched as shown at 7 in Figure 5 so that projecting flanges 211 are provided ii'or protecting the stitching, or may be sewed so that the edges oi the cover parts abut each other as shown at 25 in Figure 6.
The edges stitched as shown in Fi provide flange for protecting the ing while the edges stitched as shown in Figure 6 produce a ball having a substantially liush surface and is particularly adapted for a baseball.
The method of applying my improved cover to a ball consists of cutting a pair of ligure-8 pieces 9 and 10 in halves, one or the pieces being cut lengthwise and the other crosswise as shown in Figure 8; then stitching the parts 11 and 12 shown in Figure 7 to the parts 13 and 14: shown in Figure 8 to 'form the semi-spherical sections 3 and fl, the stitching being preferably dono with a machine; then applying the semi spherical sections to the ball, and stitching their edges 5 and 6. The et ges 5 and 6, being in a plane passing through the center of the ball, are readily adapted for sewing by a machine as disclosed in my application Serial No. 693,914, tiled of even date herewith.
A cover made and applied to the ball in this manner reduces the manufacturing cost because the component parts are ot such shape that they may be cut with very little waste of material.
While I have described my invention as taking a particular form, it will be understood that the various parts may be changed without departing from the spirit ther-ect, and hence 1 do not limit myself to the pie oise construction set forth, but consider that I am at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly come within the scope oi the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A cover for balls comprising semispherical sections, each made up of intertting parts of a figure-8 stitched together.
2. A cover for semi-solid balls comprising vhalf figure-8 parts sewed to each other to form semi-spherical sections, and stitching connecting the edges of the sections to each other.
3. A cover for semi-solid balls comprising a pair of ligure-8 pieces, one piece being cut in two parts crosswise and the other piece lengthwise, a stitching connecting the JAMES J. GILSON.
