Cross-references in the application

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202011567478.4 entitled “Toy Beach Ball,” filed on December 25, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The invention relates to the field of entertainment toys and in particular to a toy water ball. BACKGROUND

[0003] As the weather gets hotter, toys that use water as a medium become more popular, and people can play with them, such as water guns, and feel cooled down. However, water guns pose a high risk of injury, especially to the eyes, due to the high pressure of the ejected water. Currently, there is the water ball toss game, in which a water-filled balloon is thrown at a player. The player who is hit gets wet from the water from the bursting balloon. The player tries to dodge the flying water ball as far as possible. This game is safe and can bring people a lot of fun and cooling down, making it a really good activity for people to play in the summer. SUMMARYTechnical problem

[0004] However, the balloons used in current water polo activities are single-use and cannot be reused after bursting. The large number of balloons used is likely to lead to environmental pollution. In addition, water under pressure must be filled into the balloons to play with this water ball, so this game often requires an environment with a faucet. Many people like to play it in places with water, such as meadows, the seaside, or suburban riverbanks. However, under normal atmospheric pressure, it is difficult to fill water directly into balloons to make them expand. Therefore, due to the lack of water pressure in the natural environment, it is difficult to fill enough water on site to sufficiently expand the water ball. As a result, this game is limited by an environment. Technical solution

[0021] To facilitate understanding of the invention, a more comprehensive description of the invention is provided below. However, the invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the matters presented in the present disclosure.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0023] According to Fig. 1 to 7, a toy beach ball according to a first embodiment of the invention can be thrown as a prop in games and entertainment. The toy beach ball has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the toy beach ball is placed in water and filled with water, and after the water ball returns to a combined state, the toy beach ball forms a closed, water-bearing cavity. When the toy beach ball hits a person or impacts the ground or a hard object during play, the toy beach ball is squeezed or compressed, causing it to split and enter the unfolded state, splashing the loaded or carried water to achieve the purpose of games and entertainment.

[0024] In particular, as stated in the Fig. As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the toy beach ball 100 according to the first embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of petals 10, and each of the petals 10 has a first edge portion 11 and a second edge portion 12; each of the first edge portions 11 is provided with a first magnetic element 21, and each of the second edge portions 12 is provided with a second magnetic element 22.When all the petals 10 are folded and closed to form a spherical shape, the first magnetic element 21 on the first edge portion 11 of each of the petals 10 and the second magnetic element 22 on the second edge portion 12 of the adjacent petal 10 attract each other, so that the first edge portion 11 of the petal 10 lies closely against the second edge portion 12 of the adjacent petal 10, and in this way the two adjacent petals 10 are lined up next to each other, and all the petals 10 together form a cavity.

[0025] In this embodiment, the toy beach ball 10 has three petals, and each petal 10 is formed as a one-third spherical shell. When combined, the three petals 10 lie close to each other in pairs and fit together to collectively form the water-carrying cavity enclosed by the three petals 10. In this embodiment, the toy beach ball 100 is configured in a spherical shape. Understandably, in other embodiments, the toy beach ball may also be shaped like an elliptical sphere or an irregular sphere, as long as it can carry water when folded. In this embodiment, the three petals 10 have the same shape to facilitate mass production. In other embodiments, the three petals 10 may have different sizes, as long as they can be arranged in a circle and folded into a sphere.

[0026] In this embodiment, each of the petals 10 is formed as an arcuate, fan-like shell. Each of the petals 10 is uniformly made of a soft material. This way, people feel less pain when hit by the toy beach ball, thereby increasing the fun of entertainment. In particular, each of the petals 10 is made of a light, thin, and soft sheet, such as a silicone sheet, and is somewhat elastic. In other embodiments, the first edge portion 11 and the second edge portion 12 of each of the petals 10 may be separately made of different materials and then integrally joined together. For example, the first edge portion 11 and the second edge portion 12 are made of silicone, the body / center part of the petal 10 is formed as a soft shell, and all three are integrally joined together by injection molding.

[0027] According to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the first edge portion 11 and the second edge portion 12 of each of the petals 10 are located on opposite sides of the petal 10. In this embodiment, the first edge portion 10 of one of the petals 10 of the toy beach ball 100 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic elements 21, the second edge portion 12 of the petal 10 adjacent to the first edge portion 11 of that petal 10 is provided with a plurality of second magnetic elements 22, and the positions of the first magnetic elements 21 of the one of the petals 10 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the positions of the second magnetic elements 22 of the adjacent petal 10.Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of first magnetic elements 21 and the number of second magnetic elements 22 of each of the petals 10 is five, and the positions of the first magnetic elements 21 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the positions of the second magnetic elements 22, so that the magnetic attraction force therebetween is maximized while maintaining a relatively low weight. Specifically, the first magnetic elements 21 of the first edge portion 11 of the same petal 10 are spaced apart from each other, and the second magnetic elements 22 of the second edge portion 12 of the same petal 10 are spaced apart from each other. In other embodiments, the number of first magnetic elements 21 or second magnetic elements 22 of the same petal 10 can be determined based on the size of the toy beach ball 100 and the size of the first magnetic element 21 or the second magnetic element 22.The number of first magnetic elements 21 and second magnetic elements 22 may also be one. In a case where the plurality of first magnetic elements 21 or the plurality of second magnetic elements 22 are spaced apart from each other, the weight of the toy beach ball 100 connected to the first magnetic elements 21 or the second magnetic elements 22 can be reduced while ensuring sufficient magnetic attraction, and the lightness and entertainment value of the toy beach ball 100 can be improved.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first edge portion 11 of each of the petals 10 has a first mating surface 31, and the first magnetic elements 21 are mounted on an inner side of the first edge portion 11, the inner side facing away from the first mating surface 31; the second edge portion 12 of each of the petals 10 has a second mating surface 32, and the second magnetic elements 22 are mounted on an inner side of the second edge portion 12, the inner side facing away from the second mating surface 32.

[0029] The first mating surface 31 and the second mating surface 32 are both concave in their natural state and tend to deform when squeezed. When the first mating surface 31 is fixed to the corresponding second mating surface 32 of the adjacent petal 10 under the action of magnetic attraction, the first mating surface 31 and the second mating surface 32 are deformed into a tight fit to form a dense water-retaining layer to prevent the water loaded into the toy beach ball 100 from leaking out. Specifically, the first mating surface 31 or the second mating surface 32 have surfaces inclined toward each other. Understandably, in other embodiments, the first mating surface 31 or the second mating surface 32 may be formed with a flat surface as long as the dense and water-retaining effect can be achieved when they are close to each other and fit together under the action of magnetic attraction.

[0030] Preferably, the first magnetic elements 21 are arranged corresponding to a central position of the first mating surface 31, i.e., the center line between the inner and outer edges of the first mating surface 31. The second magnetic elements 22 are arranged corresponding to a central position of the second mating surface 31. In particular, the first magnetic elements 21 are mounted and fixed within the first edge portion 11 so as not to impair the waterproofing effect of the first mating surface 31; similarly, the second magnetic elements 22 are mounted and fixed within the second edge portion 12 so as not to impair the waterproofing effect of the first mating surface 32.

[0031] In this embodiment, an inner side of the first edge portion 11 of each of the petals 10 is provided with a first groove 41, and the first magnetic elements 21 are respectively fixed in the first groove 41. The first magnetic elements 21 are fixed to the first edge portion 11 by bonding. An inner side of the second edge portion 12 of each of the petals 10 is provided with a second groove (not shown), and the second magnetic elements 22 are fixed in the first groove. The second magnetic elements 22 are fixed to the second edge portion 12 by bonding.Understandably, in other embodiments, the first magnetic elements 21 may also be attached to the first edge portion 11 by means of a snap connection, integral molding, or the like; the second magnetic elements 22 may also be attached to the second edge portion 12 by means of a snap connection, integral molding, or the like.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first magnetic elements 21 and the second magnetic elements 22 are both magnets and both are shaped like rectangular blocks. The first magnetic elements 21 of the first edge portion 11 and the second magnetic elements 22 of the adjacent second edge portion 12 have opposite polarity to achieve the effect of mutual attraction upon approach. In other embodiments, the first magnetic elements 21 are magnets and the second magnetic elements 22 are iron blocks, or the first magnetic elements 21 are iron blocks and the second magnetic elements 22 are magnets, thus also achieving a mutual magnetic attraction force.

[0033] According to Fig. 7, the toy beach ball 100 further includes a connecting member 50 that connects each of the petals 10. The connecting member 50 includes an elastic connecting ring 51 and connecting ends 52, each connecting the connecting ring 51 to each of the petals 10. The connecting end 52 is connected to the same end of each of the petals 10. After each of the petals 10 is connected by the connecting member 50, if the toy beach ball 100 is thrown out and hits a person or falls to the ground and splits, each of the petals 10 can be easily connected, and there is no need to pick up the petals one by one. Understandably, in some embodiments, the connecting ring 51 may be formed as an ordinary inelastic rope. Furthermore, in embodiments where only a few petals 10 are provided, the connecting member 50 may be omitted.For example, in the case of three petals 10 in this embodiment or in the case of two petals 10 in other embodiments, the toy beach ball can be used normally even without the connecting member 50.

[0034] When using the toy water ball 100, a player can hold or grasp the toy water ball 100 and place it directly into a water source, such as water in a bucket, a river, or the sea, and then strongly squeeze the toy water ball 100 to deform the petals 10 to a certain extent, forming a gap between two adjacent petals 10 to allow water to enter. After water flows into the toy water ball 100 and the player releases the toy water ball 100, the first edge portion 11 and the second edge portion 12 of the adjacent petals 10 fit tightly together due to the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 22, thereby achieving a sealed, waterproof effect.When the toy water ball 100 fully filled with water is thrown out and hits a person or object, the adjacent petals 10 are forced to separate from each other, the toy water ball 100 splits, and the water in the toy water ball 100 splashes out to achieve the game effect.

[0035] Compared to an existing water balloon, the toy water ball of the invention is provided with the first magnetic elements and the second magnetic elements, so that the toy water ball can be folded or opened repeatedly and thus reused; therefore, the water ball is environmentally friendly and clean. Furthermore, the toy water ball can be filled with water from a conventional water source without specific pressure, allowing it to be used on many occasions and has convincing applicability.

[0036] According to Fig. Figure 8 shows a toy beach ball 100a according to a second embodiment of the invention. The toy beach ball 100a includes a plurality of petals 10a, and each of the petals 10a has a first edge portion 11a and a second edge portion 12a; each of the first edge portions 11a is provided with first magnetic elements (not shown), and each of the second edge portions 12a is provided with second magnetic elements (not shown). The toy beach ball 100a of the second embodiment is similar to the toy beach ball 100 of the first embodiment, except that the number of petals 10a in the toy beach ball 100a of the second embodiment is two, and each of the petals 10a is formed as a hemispherical shell. The toy beach ball 100a also includes a connecting member 50a connected to each of the petals 10a.

[0037] According to Fig. 9 shows a toy beach ball 100b according to a third embodiment of the invention. The toy beach ball 100b includes a plurality of petals 10b, and each of the petals 10b has a first edge portion 11b and a second edge portion 12b; each of the first edge portions 11b is provided with first magnetic elements (not shown), and each of the second edge portions 12b is provided with second magnetic elements (not shown). The toy beach ball 100b of the third embodiment is similar to the toy beach ball 100 of the first embodiment, except that the toy beach ball 100b of the third embodiment includes four petals 10b, and each of the petals 10b is formed as a quarter-spherical shell. The toy beach ball 100b further includes a connecting element 50b connected to each of the petals 10b.

[0038] According to Fig.10 shows a toy beach ball 100c according to a fourth embodiment of the invention. The toy beach ball 100c includes a plurality of petals 10c, and each of the petals 10c has a first edge portion 11c and a second edge portion 12c; each of the first edge portions 11c is provided with first magnetic elements (not shown), and each of the second edge portions 12c is provided with second magnetic elements (not shown). The toy beach ball 100c of the fourth embodiment is similar to the toy beach ball 100 of the first embodiment, except that the toy beach ball 100c of the fourth embodiment includes five petals 10c, and each of the petals 10c is formed as a fifth spherical shell. The toy beach ball 100c further includes a connecting element 50c connected to each of the petals 10c.

[0039] Understandably, the toy water ball of the invention is not limited to being filled with water, and the toy water ball of the invention can also be filled with other liquids suitable for entertaining people, such as beer, milk, or other liquids that are harmless to the human body or drinkable.

[0040] The embodiments described above merely illustrate some implementations of the invention, which are more specific and detailed, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make further variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the invention, and that these all fall within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be governed by the appended claims. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
