Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/194310
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A sports ball includes a bladder defining the general shape of the sports ball and defining an interior of the sports ball. A mass is held inside of the interior of the sports and retained in a rest position relative to the bladder such that, upon impact between the sports ball and another structure, the position of the mass relative to the bladder changes and thereby dampens and affects the rebound of the sports ball. The mass may be held by a plurality of elastic supports that secure between the mass and the bladder. The mass may be held by a foam that supports the mass by extending between said bladder and said mass so as to provide support for the mass.
