ABSTRACT:
A new Tether Ball Safety Cover for offering a tether ball cover to prevent injury caused by contact with the tether ball eye loop or rope retaining knot. The inventive device includes a tether ball, a conical shaped protector, inner Velcro strips, and outer Velcro strips. In use, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the conical shaped protector 14 is slid onto the rope 16. Then the rope 16 is threaded through the tether ball eye loop 40 and the rope retaining knot 18 is tied into the end of the rope 16 to prevent the rope 16 from slipping back through the tether ball eye loop 40. Lastly, the conical shaped protector 14 is slid down to engage the tether ball 12, mating inner Velcro strips 28 with outer Velcro strips 26, thereby removably holding the assembly together and therefore providing a shield to prevent injury causing contact with the tether ball eye loop 40 or the rope retaining knot 18.
