Abstract
A resiliently deformable toy ball which is soft and supple and provides an intriguing relaxing feeling when squeezed, and which possesses a low rebound percentage due to its resiliently deformable nature. The ball has a highly plasticized polymeric core which is resiliently deformable due to its highly plasticized state. The polymeric core is encased in a flexible polymer shell and both the core and the flexible shell are further encased in a strechable fabric outer cover.
Claims19
A toy ball having a soft and supple feeling, comprising:
- a highly plasticized polymeric core which is resiliently deformable due to its highly plasticized state and normally bleeds plasticizer;
- and
- a flexible polymer shell encasing said core for containing bleeding of said plasticizer from said core.
A toy ball having a soft and supple feeling, comprising:
- a highly plasticized polymeric core which is resiliently deformable due to its highly plasticized state and normally bleeds plasticizer;
- a flexible polymer shell encasing said core for containing bleeding of said plasticizer from said core;
- and
- a stretchable fabric outer cover encasing said core and said flexible shell.
A toy ball having a soft and supple feeling, comprising:
- a highly plasticized polymeric core which is resiliently deformable due to its highly plasticized state and normally bleeds plasticizer;
- a flexible polymer shell encasing said core for containing bleeding of said plasticizer from said core;
- and
- a stretchable fabric outer cover encasing said core and said flexible shell;
- said toy ball being characterized by a soft, supple, resilient feeling, is readily deformable and pliable, and substantially returns to its original shape after a deforming force is removed.
A toy comprising:
- a highly plasticized polymeric core which is resiliently deformable due to it highly plasticized state and normally bleeds platicizer;
- a flexible polymer shell encasing said core for containing bleeding of said plasticizer from said core;
- and
- a stretchable fabric outer cover encasing said core and said flexible shell.
A toy comprising:
- a highly plasticized polymeric core which is resiliently deformable due to its highly plasticized state and normally bleeds plasticizer;
- a flexible polymer shell encasing said core for containing bleeding of said plasticizer from said core, said toy being characterized by a soft supple, resilient feeling, is readily deformable and pliable and substantially returns to its original shape after a deforming force is removed.
A toy as claimed in claims 15 or claim 17 wherein the core contains highly plasticized polyvinyl chloride.
