ABSTRACT:
A ball having the general appearance, shape and aerodynamic characteristics of a conventional football when thrown or kicked; but which is softer and lighter allowing for its use in congested areas--it does not travel as far when thrown or kicked--and by younger children who are more susceptible to injury with a conventional football. The ball is comprised of a waste acrylic yarn interior or center having a wool or felt batting inner cover and a four-piece polyester double-knit outer cover. The ball preferably has a simulated lacing along an intermediate portion of one of the seams to resemble a conventional football in this sense and overlapping panel edges where the simulated lacing is present provide an elevated or raised ridge for gripping the ball thereby enhancing its throwing characteristics. In a spherical ball, eight pieces of wool or felt are secured to each other to provide an interior cover, and eight pieces of a polyester double knit fabric are secured to each other and the inner cover to provide an outer cover.
