Sport novelty missile
First Claim
1. A sport novelty missile that appears to generate smoke when thrown, comprising:
- a body having an outer shell;
a smoke solution;
a holding tank within the body for receiving and holding the solution;
a smoke chamber within the body;
an electrical power source;
an atomizer;
fluid lines for conveying solution from the holding tank to the atomizer;
an electrically actuable assembly for pressuring flow of solution from the holding tank to the atomizer, the actuation of the electrically actuable assembly completing an electrical circuit between the power source and heating element to activate the heating element, and pressuring the flow of solution from the holding tank through the fluid lines to the atomizer, the atomizer so positioned as to spray solution onto the heating element and thereby generate smoke within the smoke chamber;
dual functioning channels extending through die body from the smoke chamber through the outer shell;
whereby, upon throwing the missile, ambient air passing into and through the dual functioning channels causes smoke to be emitted from the smoke chamber through the dual functioning channels and outer shell; and
,a stabilizing shock absorbing core disposed within the body.

Abstract
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.
