ABSTRACT:
An anchoring arrangement for the flap which covers the portion of the bladder of an American football which would otherwise be exposed beneath the laces. The flap is provided with a lateral extension having a hole formed therein. The hole surrounds the inflation valve of the bladder. The flap is encouraged to maintain its location when placed on the bladder during assembly of the football. Glue conventionally employed is eliminated. Elimination of glue solves two problems. One is that glue can dry and fail to secure the flap as intended. The other is that glue clogs holes employed for lacing.
