Benefits of technology

[0006] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a Bocce ball having a body made of more than two different materials in an easy and low cost manner.

Problems solved by technology

It is possible to lower cost from some points of view theoretically, however, it is not so easy to collect a massive quantity of a mono-material (the unsaturated polyester material for instance) practically, so that the cost cannot be lowered down efficiently as expected.

Embodiment Construction

[0012] With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, a Bocce ball constructed in accordance wit the present invention comprises, sequentially from inside to outside, a core layer 1, a medium layer 2, and a body layer 3. The body layer 3 and the medium layer 2 are formed of different materials respectively. The medium layer 2 has a high adhesion for fixedly sticking the core layer 1 as well as the body layer 3 to keep the Bocce balls intact when they collide each other during playing, and the body layer 3 must be firm and indomitable. In an embodiment, the body layer 3 is made of unsaturated polyester resin while the medium layer 2 is made of acrylic and enclosing the core layer 1. The core layer 1 is made to provide the standard weight of the ball, and can be made of any desired material. For example, the core layer 1 can be made of iron sand, racks, rubber, waste rubber, and nylon, which are selected for lowering the overall costs.

Abstract

A Bocce ball includes, sequentially from outside to inside, a body layer, a medium layer, and a core layer. The body layer and the medium layer are made of different materials. For example, the body layer is made of unsaturated polyester resin, while the medium material is made of acrylic material. The body layer and the medium layer are securely combined with each other. The core layer is made heavy and is enclosed by the medium layer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a Bocce ball. [0003] 2. The Prior Arts [0004] A Bocce ball is an Italian ball game that is played in a sandy area that is approximately 40-50 feet long and 10 feet wide. This game is a confrontation between two teams, and is started by throwing a small ball from someone to the ground to serve as a target ball, and then, every team member of the teams is requested to roll or throw his ball to approach as closer as possible to the target ball. A team winner is defined by having the closest ball and scores by counting the number of its balls in a domain near the target ball closer than the closest ball of the opponent team. [0005] In playing the game, it is common than colliding one ball with others; and therefore, the material of ball must be carefully selected to ensure no fracture to be thus incurred. In early days, the balls were formed by wood carving in a relatively higher cost un...
