Scented bowling balls

Abstract

A bowling ball including a spherical mass and at least one fragrance in at least a portion of the spherical mass. The at least one fragrance may be dispersed throughout or embedded in the spherical mass. A pigment may also be included in the spherical mass to impart the bowling ball with a color. The color of the pigment may correspond to a scent of the fragrance. A bowling ball including a mass comprising a polymer and at least one fragrance included in at least a portion of the mass is also disclosed.

1 . A bowling ball, comprising:
 a spherical mass; and   at least one fragrance in at least a portion of the spherical mass.   
     
     
         2 . The bowling ball of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fragrance is dispersed substantially uniformly throughout the spherical mass. 
     
     
         3 . The bowling ball of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fragrance is dispersed at least partially throughout the spherical mass. 
     
     
         4 . The bowling ball of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fragrance is embedded in the spherical mass. 
     
     
         5 . The bowling ball of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fragrance is dispersed substantially homogeneously throughout the spherical mass. 
     
     
         6 . The bowling ball of  claim 1 , wherein the spherical mass is substantially nonporous. 
     
     
         7 . The bowling ball of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a pigment in at least a portion of the spherical mass, a color of the pigment corresponding to a scent of the at least one fragrance.   
     
     
         8 . The bowling ball of  claim 7 , wherein the pigment is dispersed at least partially throughout the spherical mass. 
     
     
         9 . A bowling ball, comprising:
 a mass comprising a polymer; and   at least one fragrance included in at least a portion of the mass.   
     
     
         10 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the mass is substantially spherical. 
     
     
         11 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the polymer comprises at least one of a thermosetting resin, a thermoplastic resin, and a resin formed from two blended parts. 
     
     
         12 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the polymer comprises polyurethane. 
     
     
         13 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the polymer comprises a reaction product of a polyol and an isocyanate. 
     
     
         14 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the mass comprises a non-porous rubber. 
     
     
         15 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one fragrance is hydrophobic. 
     
     
         16 . The bowling ball of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one fragrance is hydrophilic.
