AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a game ball that is coated with a non-slip layer that improves friction and grip on the surface of the ball. The non-slip layer can be attached or detached, and can be used on various water sport equipment such as pool noodles, kickboards, surfboards, and water guns. The non-slip layer can be custom-made and designed to look like a mesh, star, or heart-like pattern. This invention enhances the tactility and grip of the game ball, making it easier for players to handle and control.

Problems solved by technology

However, the clothes-made game ball has the following disadvantage.

The clothes-made game balls are not suitable to use in the wet environment.

While the clothes-made game balls are played in the wet environment, the water is easily absorbed into a surface of the clothes-made game ball, so that the clothes-made game ball will become very heavy.

In addition, since the water is retained in the surface of the clothes-made game balls, the surface of the clothes-made game balls will become very slippery, so it is hassle for the player to catch and throw the water-soaked game balls.

Therefore, people will spend too much time to pick up the slippery clothes-made game ball.

Furthermore, the surface of the clothes-made game ball is easy to damage during playing.

For example, while the clothes-made game balls contact with the ground floor, the friction between the surface of the clothes-made game balls and the ground floor will cause scratches on the surface thereof, so after long-time frequently using, the clothes-made game balls are easily broken and damaged, and then people may frequently bought new game balls to replace the damaged game balls.

In addition, the surfaces of the leather-made game balls have better friction resistance than the clothes-made game ball, so the leather-made game ball won't be easily slip out during playing while the water contacts with the surface of the leather-made game ball.

The cost of the leather-made game ball is higher than the clothes-made game ball, so the price thereof is relatively expensive.

In addition, due to the leather is harder than the clothes, specific machines are required for manufacturing the leather-made game ball.

On the other hands, the structures of the leather-made game balls are harder than the clothes-made game balls.

It is worth to mention that the leather has less flexibility than the clothes, and the bouncing forces of the leather-made game balls are less than that of the clothes-made game ball, so people usually get hurt by hitting from the leather-made game ball, and at the same time, people lose lots of fun when playing the game balls with less bouncing forces.
