  • Patent number: 5070610
    Abstract: The game device includes a hollow outer ball and a small relatively heavy mass inside the ball. The mass is a flexible bladder which contains a liquid. When the ball is rolled or projected, the bladder moves around inside and changes shape so that the device travels erratically. The device is made by partially inserting the bladder into the filler opening of the outer ball, injecting liquid into the bladder through its filler passageway, which is then sealed, fully inserting the bladder into the outer ball, inflating the outer ball and sealing its filling opening.

  • Patent number: 4986540
    Abstract: The game device includes a hollow outer ball and a small relatively heavy mass inside the ball. The mass is a flexible bladder which contains a liquid. When the ball is rolled or projected, the bladder moves around inside and changes shape so that the device travels erratically. In a preferred process of making the game device, all but a filler passageway portion of the flexible bladder is inserted into an outer ball through an inflation opening in the outer ball. Then, in sequence, the liquid is injected into the bladder through its filler passageway, the passageway is sealed, the bladder is fully inserted into the ball, the outer ball is inflated to a desired pressure, and the inflation opening in the outer ball is sealed.
