Ball body

Abstract

This invention relates to a ball body which essentially comprises a transmitting hollow inner bladder. A recessed socket for accommodation of a vibration-powered luminous body is provided on the transmitting hollow inner bladder. A superficial layer is further wrapped on outside surface of the transmitting hollow inner bladder, which has transmitting areas provided thereon. When the ball body is played to produce vibration, the vibration-powered luminous body is lightened and light is scattered out through the transmitting hollow inner bladder and the transmitting areas on the superficial layer so as to increase more fun in playing the ball and diversified functions of toy.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a ball body, more particularly to a toy jumping ball having flickering and patterned light, which can increase more fun in playing by the design of an inner bladder having luminous body and a superficial layer having transmitting pattern areas thereon.[0003]2. Brief Description of the Prior Art[0004]There are two kinds of conventional toy balls currently sold on market, one is made by rubber sheet into a hollow ball and is inflated with air so as to have enough elasticity for play, such as rubber ball, basketball, dodgeball and volleyball, while the other one is completely solid in whole ball body and is made by elastic rubber material.[0005]The ball body inflated with air is lighter in weight, but it is a single-layer design without color variation so that it is less attractive to those children like novel stuff and visual stimulation. After a period of time usage, either rubber skin on...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The main object of the ball body of the present invention is to improve the disadvantage of dwindling attraction of conventional structure for children due to few variation in color and pattern. It can increase more fun in play by the design of an inner bladder having luminous body and a superficial layer having transmitting pattern areas on it.

[0010]The ball body of the present invention essentially comprises a transmitting hollow inner bladder. A recessed socket for accommodation of a vibration-powered luminous body is provided on the transmitting hollow inner bladder. A superficial layer is wrapped on outside surface of the transmitting hollow inner bladder, which has transmitting areas provided thereon. When the ball body is played to produce vibration, the vibration-powered luminous body is lightened and light is scattered out through the transmitting hollow inner bladder and the transmitting areas on the superficial layer so as to increase more fun in playing and diversified functions of toy.

[0011]Furthermore, the ball body of the present invention has a mouth for inflation provided on the transmitting hollow inner bladder for timely supplement of enough quantity of gas so that the ball body has sufficient elasticity for play.

[0012]In the ball body of the present invention, the transmitting areas on the superficial layer are hollowed out such that light can be scattered out from the hollow-out transmitting areas. Hence, pleasure in playing ball and diversified functions of toy can be increased.

Problems solved by technology

The ball body inflated with air is lighter in weight, but it is a single-layer design without color variation so that it is less attractive to those children like novel stuff and visual stimulation.

After a period of time usage, either rubber skin on the outside of ball body is broken, or air inside the ball body is leaked to cause insufficiency in pressure inside the ball body or decrease in elasticity, or rubber skin is broken, the ball is out of service.

Additionally, there is a jumping ball containing a puppet, a luminous body or a beeper and its manufacturing cost is more expensive due to above containment.

Further, the transmitting inner bladder cannot be printed with any pattern on it in order not to shield the light emitted from the luminous body.

This will result in insufficiency of brightness which might dwindle the attraction for children.
