Takraw ball
First Claim
1. A takraw ball comprising bands (1) woven into a spherical basket, each band (1) comprising a pair of hoops (2), each hoop (2) being formed of an elongate strip (4) of plastics material, each strip having one convex side edge (5) of constant radius and the other side edge of sinusoidal undulating profile (6, 7) and being joined by its ends to form a frusto-conical hoop (2);
- pairs of hoops (2) being arranged into bands with the strip convex side edges (5) of the pair of hoops of each band being contiguous or adjacent each other in parallel planes and the sinusoidal side edges (6,
7) relatively staggered so that interwoven bands (1) intersect at the troughs (7) of sinusoidal side edges (6,
7).

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a takraw ball comprising hoops woven into a spherical basket, each hoop being formed of an elongate, generally flat strip of plastics material, each strip having one convex side edge of constant radius and the other side edge of sinusoidal undulating profile and being joined by its ends to form a frusto-conical hoop; pairs of hoops being arranged with the strip convex side edges opposed in a common plane or in parallel planes and the sinusoidal side edges relatively staggered so that interwoven hoops intersect at the troughs of sinusoidal side edges.
