Abstract
Baseballs and softballs are comprised of a spherical core and a two-piece cover. The core consists essentially of a single spherical mass of partially blown ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having 12 percent to 30 percent by weight of polymerized vinyl acetate units therein. Foam is in the center of the core which gradually reduces in cell size radially outwardly to a skin having a density substantially equal to the density of said copolymer.
Claims5
In a baseball comprised of a spherical core and a cover, the improvement wherein said core consists essentially of a single spherical mass of partially blown ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer thermoplastic resin having 12% to 30% by weight polymerized vinyl acetate units therein, with foam in the center of said core gradually reducing in cell size radially outwardly to a skin having a density substantially equal to the density of said copolymer;
- said baseball having essentially the same playing characteristics as a conventional baseball.
In a softball comprised of a spherical core and a cover;
- the improvement wherein said core consists essentially of a single spherical mass of partially blown ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer thermoplastic resin having 12% to 30% by weight polymerized vinyl acetate units therein, with foam in the center of said core gradually reducing in cell size radially outwardly to a skin having a density substantially equal to the density of said resin;
- said softball having substantially the same playing characteristics as a conventional softball.
