| 20110021297 | SIMULATED PRESSURIZED BALL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD - A non-pressurized sport ball that simulates the resiliency, rebound, hardness and weight properties of a similar sized, inflatable sports ball. The sports ball, which can be made in different sizes and shapes, includes a hollow ball body with a relatively thick sidewall made of closed-cell foam, elastomeric resin. When cured, the sidewalls have compression and resiliency properties that enable the working action of the sidewall to be used in place of an air bladder in an inflatable sports ball. Formed on the ball body is an entry hole in which an air escaping cap is inserted made of the same elastomeric resin material as the ball body. During use, the cap flexes within the entry hole to allow air to exit and enter the ball during use so that the internal and external air pressures are equal. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the sports ball using a mandrel and a suitable-shaped compression mold with an entry hole formed on one side. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20120058846 | PNEUMATIC INFLATION VALVE CORE FOR INFLATABLE SPORTS BALL - An inflatable sports ball and its pneumatic inflation valve core are provided. The pneumatic inflation valve core includes a passage penetrating the pneumatic inflation valve core in a lengthwise direction. The passage is provided for receiving an inflation needle which is served for inflating a ball bladder of an inflatable sports ball. When an inflation needle inserts into the passage of the pneumatic inflation valve core, since the pneumatic inflation valve core has adequate length, the pneumatic inflation valve core prevents the inflation needle from piercing through the ball bladder as the ball bladder is flat. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120108372 | FLEXIBLE HOLE BALL - A ball that is pliable, seamless, flexible and durable that has a seamless, uniformly thick outer shell and where the shell has one or more holes through the outer shell such that the ball is soft and because of the design it does not fly very far. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20130012345 | Valve For A Ball And Method For Manufacturing Same - A valve for a ball includes a casing and a core. The core is arranged at least partially inside the casing. The core comprises a first sealing area with a plurality of sections which have alternating concave and convex curvatures. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20130296085 | FLEXIBLE HOLE BALL WITH ANGLED HOLE WALLS - A ball that is pliable, seamless, flexible and durable that has a seamless, uniformly thick outer shell and where the shell has one or more holes formed in the outer shell and where the walls of the holes are angled inwardly toward the center of the ball in order to increase air flow into the ball. | 11-07-2013 |

| 20130231205 | INFLATABLE BULLET - An inflatable bullet includes a shell case, a pressure chamber and a push rod; the shell case includes a front part and a back part, and the shell case front part has an interference connection with a front end of the shell case back part, and centers of the two parts have concentric through-holes; the pressure chamber is set up between the through-holes; the push rod passes through the pressure chamber and an air vent ventilating with the outside via an airway is set up in the middle of the push rod; when uninflated, the air vent is located in the pressure chamber, and a piston is set up in the middle of the push rod, which is positioned at front of the air vent in the pressure chamber. The invention has a simple and compact structure, and is safe in use. | 09-05-2013 |
| 20140256485 | TWO-PHASE PROJECTILE WITH A DISTAL COMPRESSION CHAMBER - A projectile having a proximal tube and distal tube is described. A piston that is formed with a vent covers the distal end of the proximal tube. The piston is inserted into an open proximal end of the distal tube to establish a compression chamber in the distal tube between the axially moveable piston and a closed distal tube end. A valve is positioned at the proximal end of the proximal tube to selectively pressurize a space in the proximal tube between the valve and piston. The space, in turn, is in fluid communication with the compression chamber through the vent formed in the piston. The vent is formed as a constriction allowing fluid to flow into the compression chamber during an initial pressurization, while allowing for pressure buildup in the compression chamber during the initial relative movement between the proximal and distal tubes that occurs immediately after projectile launch. | 09-11-2014 |

| 20090253541 | RETRACTABLE PROJECTILE DEVICE AND METHOD - This application relates to a retractable device that takes the retractable leash concept and adapts it to a projectile. The tethered projectile can be advanced by the user by kicking, throwing, hitting, or any other method of advancing a projectile. When the user initially advances the projectile, for example by throwing, the momentum of the projectile overcomes the spring force and the projectile advances a certain distance relative to the force applied to it. Once the projectile' s momentum diminishes to a level below the spring force, the spring causes the spool to reverse direction and the slack is taken up and the projectile is retrieved. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20090042677 | Sport novelty missile - A sport novelty ball has an outer shell and a stabilizing shock absorbing core in which various interior components are embedded. A non-toxic smoke solution is introduced into the ball and stored. Centrally located within the ball is a smoke chamber containing a heating element, A switch/pump assembly is provided for completing an electrical circuit and moving the smoke solution through the ball. Upon actuation of the switch/pump assembly, simultaneously the heating element is actuated and the solution is pressured through fluid lines in the ball to an atomizer for spraying the solution onto the heating element, whereupon smoke is generated in the smoke chamber. Exhaust/intake channels extend from the smoke chamber to the ball periphery. When the ball is thrown, ambient air passing through the exhaust/intake channels causes a stream of air to be emitted from the channels, giving the appearance that the ball is smoking. A motion activated sound chip produces a sound feature which adds the impression of throwing a super fast pitch. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110244996 | DEHYDRATED, PULP-BASED PROJECTILE - A dehydrated, pulp-based projectile is described. The projectile is pulp material that is molded and dehydrated into a projectile shape to form the dehydrated, pulp-based projectile. In operation, the pulp-based projectile can be positioned within the bullet chamber (e.g., gun clip) of a toy gun and then rehydrated. For example, the toy gun or bullet chamber can be dipped in water, which would cause the projectile to absorb the water and soften. An advantage to being pulp based is that the projectile is more solid than foam and, as such, generally shoots straighter and further than foam However, when rehydrated, the projectile has the propensity to stick to its target as it becomes pliable and sticky through rehydration. | 10-06-2011 |
