Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a new structure for a baseball or softball that includes a ball core, two covers, and a seaming wire. The new feature is that the edges of each cover have multiple recesses near the edge, where the seaming wire will fall into these recesses. This design prevents wear and tear on the seaming wire, which increases the lifespan of the baseball or softball."

Problems solved by technology

However this increase the wear of the seaming wire 20.

Abstract

A ball structure used in a baseball or a softball comprises a ball core; two covers enclosing the ball core; the two covers being seamed together by a seaming wire; an edge of each cover being formed with a plurality of wire holes for being passed by a seaming wire; a plurality of recesses arranged near an edge of each cover; each recess being formed between a respective one of the wire holes and the edge of each cover; a direction of each recess being identical to the seaming direction of the seaming wire; thereby when the two covers enclose the ball core by using the seaming wire; the part of the seaming wire exposing out of the covers fall into the recesses.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates ball structures, and in particular to a ball structure used in a baseball or a softball, wherein a plurality of recesses arranged near an edge of each cover; and part of the seaming wire exposing out of the covers will fall into the recesses. Thereby the seaming wire will not wear so as to increase the lifetime of the basketball and softball. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the prior art baseball or softball includes a ball core 10, and two covers 30 which are seamed by a seaming wire 20. An edge of each cover 30 is formed with a plurality of wire holes 31 (referring to FIG. 1) for receiving the seaming wire 20. [0003] However in above mentioned structure, the seaming wire 20 protrudes from the surfaces of the covers 30 (referring to FIGS. 2 and 3). Since the seaming wire 20 is easy to wear and thus break so as to affect the lifetime of baseballs or softballs. Furthermore, currently, a lower s...
