Abstract
A bag of spherical construction having a pliable cover formed from pentagonal shaped cover members stitched to one another along their common sides to form a dodecahedron. Filler for the present game bag is of a discrete nature. Stitching along adjacent sides of the cover members provides elongate zones of greater ridigity than the center area of each cover member and contributes to the retention of a faceted spherical shape even after long use. The cover members are approximately one inch in their greatest transverse dimension.
Claims4
Bag construction for a ball-like article used for recreational purposes, said article construction comprising:
- a plurality of pliable cover members each being of polygonal shape and having its perimetrical edges in juxtaposition with a like edge of an adjacent member, each of said members having inwardly extending marginal areas,
- intersecting lines of stitching joining adjacent cover members along their juxtaposed edges,
- filler material of a discrete nature fully occupying the ball interior, and
- said intersecting lines of stitching serving to reinforce the cover members against deformation along said abutting marginal areas.
