Abstract

The amusement ball for a user having an inner surface membrane filled with air, a thin puncturable unit covering the inner surface membrane and an outer membrane unit covering the thin puncturable unit. The thin puncturable unit includes one or more first chambers and a thin puncturable membrane attached to the one or more first chambers. The outer membrane unit includes one or more second chambers and a non-permeable outer membrane attached to the one or more second chambers. A user applies a pressure on a specific location of the inner surface membrane through the outer membrane unit resulting in the bursting of the thin puncturable membrane and release of the liquid from one or more first chambers to one or more second chambers. The liquid then appears on the inner surface of outer permeable membrane.

Claims

1. An amusement ball for a user comprising:

an inner surface membrane filled with air;

a thin puncturable unit covering said inner surface membrane, said thin puncturable unit comprising a plurality of first chambers and a thin puncturable membrane attached to said plurality of first chambers, wherein at least one of said plurality of first chambers filled with liquid; and

an outer membrane unit covering said thin puncturable unit an I said inner surface membrane, said outer membrane unit comprising a plurality of second chambers and a non-permeable outer membrane attached to said plurality of second chambers;

wherein when a pressure exerted on said inner surface membrane trough said outer membrane unit results in bursting of said thin puncturable membrane and release of said liquid from at least one of said plurality of first chambers to at least one of said plurality of second chambers.

2. The amusement ball according to claim 1 wherein said outer membrane is transparent to display the color of liquid.

3. The amusement ball according to claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of first chambers contains a similar color liquid.

4. The amusement ball according to claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of first chambers contains a different color liquid.
