Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of toys, in particular to an elastic ball with a novel zipper structure. Background Art
[0002] Basketballs, as a widely popular sports equipment, can be seen on campus, in communities or on professional competition venues. However, when used indoors, due to the characteristics of their materials and structures, they will generate relatively large noises, causing quite a lot of interference to users and the surrounding environment. Especially in places where quietness needs to be maintained, such as school classrooms, libraries or family residences, the use of basketballs is greatly restricted.
[0003] In order to simulate the effect of using a basketball indoors while reducing the generation of noise, a sports equipment called "elastic ball" has gradually emerged on the market. This kind of elastic ball is usually made of lightweight materials such as foaming materials or sponges, has a certain elasticity, and can simulate the basic bouncing effect of a basketball. Its appearance has, to a certain extent, met the needs of people to carry out basketball-related activities indoors. In order to further reduce the noise of the elastic ball, the prior art has developed a technical solution of covering the surface of the elastic ball with an elastic cloth sleeve. In order to put the elastic ball into the elastic cloth sleeve, a zipper needs to be provided on the elastic cloth sleeve.
[0004] The disadvantage of the existing design is that the zipper head includes a zipper slider and a pull part, and the pull part is movably connected to the zipper slider. Therefore, during the process of patting the elastic ball, there will be a collision between the pull part and the zipper slider, generating noise. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an elastic ball with a novel zipper structure. The zipper structure of the utility model confines the pull part and the zipper slider together, reducing the generation of noise during the patting process.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problem is as follows: An elastic ball with a novel zipper structure, including an elastic ball, the elastic ball will deform under pressure and generate a resilience force. It is characterized in that an elastic cloth sleeve is sleeved outside the elastic ball, the elastic cloth sleeve shrinks and squeezes the internal elastic ball, making the elastic cloth sleeve closely adhere to the outer surface of the elastic ball. An openable and closable inlet and outlet is also provided on the elastic cloth sleeve; when the inlet and outlet is opened, the elastic ball can be loaded into or removed from the elastic cloth sleeve; when the inlet and outlet is closed, it can prevent the elastic ball from being removed from the elastic cloth sleeve; the inlet and outlet is provided with a zipper structure. When the zipper structure is opened, the inlet and outlet is opened, and the elastic ball can be loaded into or removed from the elastic cloth sleeve; when the zipper structure is closed, the inlet and outlet is closed, and the elastic ball cannot be removed from the elastic cloth sleeve;
[0007] The zipper structure includes an open end and a closed end. The zipper head of the zipper structure includes a slider and a pull handle. When the slider moves to the open end, the inlet and outlet are fully opened; when the slider moves to the closed end, the inlet and outlet are closed. An elastic cloth piece is provided at the closed end, and the opening of the elastic cloth piece faces the closed end. When hiding the zipper, the opening of the elastic cloth piece is opened to form a hidden cavity for the insertion of the zipper head. After the zipper head enters the hidden cavity and the force applied by the elastic cloth piece is removed, the zipper head and the pull handle are imprisoned together by the elastic force of the elastic cloth piece.
[0008] A further preferred embodiment of the present utility model is that the elastic cloth piece is disposed between the gaps formed when the elastic cloth sleeve is inserted into the zipper structure.
[0009] A further preferred embodiment of the present utility model is that the elastic cloth sleeve is sewn by multiple elastic cloth pieces, and a sewing area is provided between adjacent two elastic cloth pieces.
[0010] A further preferred embodiment of the present utility model is that an elastic band is disposed inside the sewing area. After the elastic ball is inserted into the elastic cloth sleeve, the elastic band and the elastic cloth piece of the sewing area are stretched together.
[0011] A further preferred embodiment of the present utility model is that basketball patterns are provided on the elastic cloth sleeve, and the sewing area overlaps with the basketball patterns.
[0012] A further preferred embodiment of the present utility model is that there are four elastic cloth pieces, and the areas and shapes of the four elastic cloth pieces are the same, and each occupies one-fourth of the area of the sphere.
[0013] A further preferred embodiment of the present utility model is that raised particles for enhancing the surface friction are evenly distributed on the surface of the elastic cloth sleeve.
[0014] In summary, the advantages of the present utility model are that the elastic cloth piece is used to accommodate the zipper head and the pull handle. After the zipper head and the pull handle are placed in the hidden cavity, the zipper head and the pull handle are not visible from the outside. And under the action of the self-elastic force of the elastic cloth piece, the zipper head and the pull handle are imprisoned together, and the two will not collide with each other, which can effectively reduce the noise generated during the beating of the elastic ball.
