ABSTRACT:
A sportsball includes a ball cover and a bladder. The ball cover has a valve hole provided thereon and consists of a plurality of panels connected edge to edge by machine sewing to form a roundness shape. Each of the panels has a predetermined shape and is made of leather or synthetic leather, wherein the synthetic leather has an outer coating layer, an inner lining layer, and an intermediate layer which is integrally formed between the outer coating layer and the inner lining layer and is strengthened and supported by the inner lining layer. The bladder is disposed inside the ball cover and includes a rubber made bladder ball, an exterior web layer integrally adhered on an outer surface of the bladder ball, and a valve stem which is mounted on the bladder ball and is extended through the valve hole of the ball cover to connected thereto for air inflation. The web layer includes at least an elongating strengthened thread evenly wound around and around the outer surface of the bladder ball. Therefore, the strengthened thread is overlapped with each other to form the web layer to entirely embrace the bladder ball for supporting the ball cover and resisting the stress and impact force of the sportsball.
