INTERNAL SHOCK-ABSORBING APPARATUS FOR IMPACT SPORT BALLS

摘要

A game ball apparatus comprises a substantially spherical housing having an internal storage area and an external surface. The internal storage area stores an object therein. The housing includes a plurality of apertures positioned at the external surface. At least one of the plurality of apertures is designed to receive and remove the object therethrough. An inflation valve is positioned at the external surface to inflate the housing. A non- pressurized passageway is positioned at the internal storage area. The object received at the at least one of the plurality of apertures passes through the non-pressurized passageway and is stored in the internal storage area. At least one inwardly projecting fin firmly secures the at least one object at the internal storage area utilizing frictional force. A shock-absorbing element at the passageway provides rigidity to the housing.
