Soccer Ball Having Reinforced Strength

Abstract

A soccer ball includes a plurality of sheet plates connected with each other and a plurality of reinforcement strips connected with the sheet plates. Each of the sheet plates has a plurality of connecting sides, and the opposite connecting sides of any two adjacent sheet plates are connected to construct a plurality of connections. Each of the reinforcement strips is bonded onto a respective one of the connections to reinforce the strength of the respective connection of the sheet plates. Thus, the reinforcement strips encompass the connections of the sheet plates completely so that the connections of the sheet plates are reinforced and limited by the reinforcement strips to prevent the connections of the sheet plates from being torn or broken due to a stress concentration so as to enhance the lifetime of the soccer ball.

1 . A soccer ball, comprising:
 a plurality of sheet plates connected with each other; and   a plurality of reinforcement strips mounted on and connected with the sheet plates.   
     
     
         2 . The soccer ball of  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the sheet plates has a plurality of connecting sides;   the opposite connecting sides of any two adjacent sheet plates are bonded and connected with each other to construct a plurality of connections;   each of the reinforcement strips is bonded onto a respective one of the connections of the sheet plates so as to reinforce the strength of the respective connection of the sheet plates.   
     
     
         3 . The soccer ball of  claim 1 , wherein each of the reinforcement strips is made a material the same as that of each of the sheet plates. 
     
     
         4 . The soccer ball of  claim 2 , wherein each of the reinforcement strips has a length greater than or equal to a length of the respective connection of the sheet plates. 
     
     
         5 . The soccer ball of  claim 4 , wherein each of the reinforcement strips has a width greater than or equal to a width of the respective connection of the sheet plates. 
     
     
         6 . The soccer ball of  claim 2 , wherein each of the reinforcement strips is bonded onto the respective connection of the sheet plates by a high frequency. 
     
     
         7 . The soccer ball of  claim 2 , wherein each of the reinforcement strips is bonded onto the respective connection of the sheet plates by a glue. 
     
     
         8 . The soccer ball of  claim 2 , wherein each of the reinforcement strips is bonded onto the respective connection of the sheet plates by a heat blower. 
     
     
         9 . The soccer ball of  claim 1 , wherein the opposite connecting sides of any two adjacent sheet plates are bonded and connected with each other by a high frequency.
