Bouncing ball having sound or light generating device

Abstract

A bouncing ball device includes a number of legs extended radially outward for increasing a bouncing effect of the ball and includes a number of end members detachably or changeably secured to the legs. A sound and/or a light generating device may be received in the ball for generating a sound or a light. A circuit board is received in the ball, a buzzer and one or more light bulbs are attached to the circuit board, and a spring member may be used for selectively energizing the buzzer or the light bulbs. A housing is received in the ball for receiving the circuit board.
