Soccer ball and method of making a soccer ball

摘要

The invention is directed toward a soccer ball and a method of making a soccer ball. The method comprises the steps of forming a pair of molded semi-hemispheric core halves from an elastomer material, connecting the edges of the core halves together, permanently affixing the edges of the core halves together to form one sphere, applying adhesive to the surface of the sphere, cutting a surface material to a desired shape, applying adhesive to the back side of the surface material, applying the back of the surface material to the surface of the sphere, and allowing the adhesive to cure until the surface material is permanently affixed to the sphere. The synthetic material is cut into a predetermined shape to match the shape of a predetermined template prior to affixing the surface material to the core.
