ABSTRACT:
Balls comprised of a (a) generally spherical-shaped center portion prepared from (1) a rolled-up piece of cloth, (2) preferably several wraps of yarn over the rolled-up cloth, and (3) preferably adhesive tape partially encasing the cloth and yarn, (B) yarn wound about this center portion, (C) adhesive tape substantially covering the yarn, and (D) a synthetic cloth cover (preferably a double knit polyester). The balls of this invention have substantially the same size, shape and performance characteristics (particularly the aerodynamic characteristics) of the balls they are meant to replace, i.e., baseballs or softballs, when thrown or hit; but are softer and lighter allowing for their use in congested areas--they do not travel as far when hit--and by or with young children who are more susceptible to injury with hard balls.
