Abstract

Disclosed is the amusement ball for recreational purposes. The amusement ball includes a hollow spherical lattice shell of polyurethane having plurality of open spaces and an inflatable balloon inserted in the hollow spherical lattice shell through the open spaces and is further having a closeable opening. The inflatable balloon on inflation bulges out of the open spaces of the hollow spherical lattice shell. The inflatable balloon is inflated through the closeable opening. Further, the hollow spherical lattice shell maximizes the bounce potential of the inflatable balloon.

Claims

1. An amusement ball device for maximizing bounce potential when hitting on a surface comprising:

a hollow spherical lattice shell of polyurethane having plurality of open spaces; and

an inflatable balloon inserted in the hollow spherical lattice shell through the open spaces, wherein the inflatable balloon having a closeable opening, further wherein the inflatable balloon on inflation bulges out of the open spaces of the hollow spherical lattice shell, wherein the inflatable balloon is inflated through the closeable opening;

wherein the hollow spherical lattice shell maximizes the bounce potential of the inflatable balloon.

2. The hollow spherical lattice shell according to claim 1 further comprising:

plurality of horizontal bars;

plurality of diagonal bars, wherein at least one of the diagonal bar attached to at least one of the plurality of horizontal bars; and

plurality of vertical bars, wherein at least one of the vertical bars attached to at least one of the plurality of horizontal bars; and

at least one of the diagonal bars to create open spaces,

wherein each of the plurality of horizontal bars, each of the plurality of vertical bars, each of the plurality of diagonal bars have curved inside perimeter surfaces mating to form a spherical structure.

3. The amusement ball according to claim 1, wherein the closeable opening of the inflatable ball is knotted.

4. The amusement ball according to claim 1, wherein the closeable opening of the inflatable is closed by a valve.
