ABSTRACT:
Soccer balls comprised of (1) a generally spherically shaped center portion or core prepared from a piece(s) of material, such as cotton batting, (2) multistrand yarn at least partially covering this center portion, (3) tape at least partially covering the yarn covered center portion, (4) a synthetic cloth cover (preferably a doubleknit polyester). The cover is preferably formed of two cloth pieces which have patterns imprinted thereon by, e.g., silk screening, designed so that, when the cover is secured over the wrapped center portion, the ball has the appearance of a conventional soccer ball. 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., soccer balls, when thrown or kicked, but are softer and lighter and have lower coefficients of elastic restitution, allowing for their use in congested areas--they do not travel as far when kicked--and by young children who are more susceptible to injury with hard balls or handicapped persons who are similarly susceptible to injury and who may have special difficulty with hand-eye coordination.
