Golf ball with illumination member therein and method for making the same

Abstract

A method for making a golf ball includes step of placing an illumination member on a rack which has legs extending radially therefrom; step of installing the rack with the illumination member in a lower mold; step of mounting an upper mold onto, the lower mold and pouring thermo-setting or thermo-plastic translucent resin in a space between the upper mold and the lower mold to form a core enclosing the illumination member; step of enclosing the core by a mediate layer, and step of enclosing the mediate layer by an outer layer which includes dimples.

1 . A method for making a golf ball, comprising: 
 step 1: placing an illumination member on a rack which has legs extending radially therefrom;    step 2: installing the rack with the illumination member in a lower mold which has recesses for receiving the legs of the rack;    step 3: mounting an upper mold onto the lower mold and pouring thermo-setting or thermo-plastic translucent resin in a space between the upper mold and the lower mold to form a core which encloses the illumination member therein;    step 4: enclosing the core by a mediate layer, and    step 5: enclosing the mediate layer by an outer layer which includes dimples.    
   
   
       2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the core formed in step 3 includes extensions which the legs of the frame are received.  
   
   
       3 . The method as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the extensions are removed before the core is enclosed by the mediate layer.  
   
   
       4 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the resin for the core is solidified under the temperature less than 80 degrees Celsius and the pressure less than 3 kg/cm.  
   
   
       5 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the resin for the core bears a temperature higher than 220 degrees Celsius and the pressure higher than 120 kg/cm.
