Abstract
A bungee ball device includes a ball and a cord loop having a pair of cord segments. The ball has a flat part on it where the cord loop segments extend therefrom. The cord segment has at least one flat surface that engages the flat part of the ball when the bungee ball device is in use. The cord can include a tab extending from a portion thereof. The tab makes it easier to grasp the cord and stretch it to allow the ball to be removed from the space created by the cord segments and release the bungee ball device from its secured position. The ball and cord loop have a one-piece molded construction. The flat part on the ball and flat surface on the cord segment can be optional.

A bungee ball device comprises:
- a ball having a cord connection portion and a flat section,
- wherein the ball has a generally spherical shape but for the cord connection portion and the flat section,
- a cord loop comprising a pair of cord segments therefrom, each of the cord segments extending from the cord connection portion,
- each cord segment including at least one flat surface extending along a length thereof,
- wherein when the pair of cord segments are wrapped around one or more objects and the ball is inserted between the cord segments, the at least one flat surface on the cord loop comes into contact with a portion of the flat section of the ball to better hold the bungee cord in place around the one or more objects, and further wherein
- the ball and the cord are molded as one piece and the ball has a bore therethrough.
