Special sports training ball device as a solution filled product called a HydroPro
Abstract
An inflatable sports training ball made as an inflatable exterior surface formed of an air tight flexible outer casing which, when inflated, defines an exterior surface; an interior air pocket surrounded by an interior liner defining a bladder, the interior liner made of an air tight and water tight rubber; an inflation and fill valve; and a variable amount of solution filling a portion of the bladder, the solution being substantially heavier than air and occupying an amount of said interior volume wherein a pre-determined amount of the solution is forced into the interior air chamber of the sports ball with a pump and the resulting partially solution filled sports ball provides a variable inertia system used in training sports enthusiasts a better ball control technique and other drills.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An inflatable sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system called a HydroPro comprising:
(a) an inflatable exterior surface formed of an air tight flexible outer casing which, when inflated, defines an exterior surface; (b) an interior chamber/bladder/air pocket surrounded by an interior liner defining a bladder, the interior liner made of an air tight and water tight material; (c) an inflation and fill valve with a backflow prevention mechanism; (d) a predetermined amount of a solution filling a portion of the bladder, the solution being substantially heavier than air and occupying an amount of said interior volume; and (e) a straight filler pump with a connection valve/nozzle for inserting a liquid, flow able solid, and flow able gel wherein the pre-determined amount of the solution is forced into the interior air chamber of the sports ball with the filler pump through the connection valve/nozzle, the backflow preventer permits the solution to stay in the sports ball until the valve of the sports ball closes, and the resulting partially solution filled sports ball provides an amount of solution that has inertia which is imparted to the sports ball and creates an imbalance which is used for training drills by an a novice, amateur or professional sports player.
2 . An inflatable sports training ball of regulation size and system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the outer surface when inflated is a spherical ball.
3 . An inflatable sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the spherical ball is selected from a group of regulation sized basketballs, a specific regulation sized volley balls, and a specific regulation sized soccer ball.
4 . The inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of claim 2 wherein the fill valve of the inflatable chamber is further comprised of a backflow prevention mechanism.
5 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the outer casing material is selected from a group of composite material, elastic fabric, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber.
6 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the interior liner made of an air tight and water tight material is selected from a group of a group of composite material, elastic fabric, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber.
7 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the solution filling a portion of the bladder is selected from a group of liquid, solid, and gel.
8 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the liquid filling a portion of the bladder is selected from a group of water, oil, and alcohol.
9 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the solid filling a portion of the bladder is selected from a group of flow able solids, metal spherical steel or metal BBs, and sand.
10 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the solution filling a portion of the bladder is a combination liquid and solid.
11 . An inflatable sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the outer surface when inflated is elongated and having a generally ellipsoidal shaped ball.
12 . The inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the elongated and having a generally ellipsoidal shaped ball is selected from a group of a specific regulation sized football and a regulation sized rugby ball.
13 . The inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of claim 11 wherein the fill valve of the inflatable chamber is further comprised of a backflow prevention mechanism.
14 . The inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the outer casing material is selected from a group of composite material, elastic fabric, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber.
15 . An inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the interior liner made of an air tight and water tight material is selected from a group of a group of composite material, elastic fabric, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber.
16 . An inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the solution filling a portion of the bladder is selected from a group of liquid, solid, and gel.
17 . An inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 16 , wherein the liquid filling a portion of the bladder is selected from a group of water, oil, and alcohol.
18 . An inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system as set forth in claim 16 , wherein the solid filling a portion of the bladder is selected from a group of flow able solids, metal spherical steel or metal BBs, and sand.
19 . An inflatable spherical shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system comprising:
(a) an inflatable exterior surface formed of an air tight flexible outer casing which, when inflated, defines an exterior surface; (b) an interior chamber/bladder/air pocket surrounded by an interior liner defining a bladder, the interior liner made of an air tight and water tight rubber; (c) an inflation and fill valve, the fill valve further comprised of a backflow prevention mechanism; and (d) a solution filling a portion of the bladder, the solution being substantially heavier than air and occupying an amount of said interior volume wherein the pre-determined amount of the solution is forced into the interior air chamber of the sports ball with the filler pump through the connection valve/nozzle, the backflow preventer permits the solution to stay in the sports ball until the valve of the sports ball closes, and the resulting partially solution filled sports ball provides an amount of solution that has inertia which is imparted to the sports ball and creates an imbalance which is used for training drills by an a novice, amateur or professional sports player.
20 . An inflatable ellipsoidal shaped sports training ball of a specific regulation size and system called a HydroPro comprising:
