US Patent:

56368356, Jun 10, 1997

Filed:

May 12, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/440465

Inventors:

Edgar C. Schindler - Puyallup WA
Dominnik Liang - Issaquah WA

Assignee:

Baden Sports, Inc. - Federal Way WA

International Classification:

A63B 4108

US Classification:

473605

Abstract:

The invention disclosed and claimed here is a padded inflatable game ball. The ball is a seamed ball consisting of a spherical rubber bladder, a layer of winding surrounding the bladder, a cellular sponge layer surrounding the winding, and seams and external skin panel sections surrounding the cellular sponge layer. The sponge layer provides padding under the skin panel sections. The seams are made of narrow strips of high density rubber which cover a relatively small section of the overall surface area of the sponge layer. This allows outgassing of the sponge layer as it is foamed during the ball manufacturing process.
