Anchor fitting for a hollow ball

An anchor fitting for a ball which includes, in its operative configuration with respect to a ball,

• at least one shoulder defining body of a substantially rigid material which defines a hole therethrough and which, when operatively positioned with its hole in register with the hole in the ball, forms shoulder formations that extend substantially radially with respect to the hole in the ball and that abut the interior side of the wall forming the ball;
• and
• an anchor body of a substantially rigid material which defines an elongate shank portion and a head at one end of the shank portion, the shank portion operatively extending through the hole in the shoulder defining body and the hole in the ball and the head bearing against the shoulder defining body for holding the shoulder defining body in position,
• and in which the anchor body defines for the assembly of the ball
• an engagement formation which permits engagement by an elongate assembly element in a configuration in which, with the assembly element passing through the hole in the shoulder defining body and with the shoulder defining body and the anchor body separately displaced through the hole in the ball, the assembly element may be pulled externally of the ball for locating the shoulder defining body and the anchor body in their operative configurations with respect to the ball;
• and
• an anchoring formation which permits anchoring a required one of a cord, a tail and a stem for a tail, thereto.
