An inlet is set where the seams of two soft pieces join, and fluid PU material is poured into the center of the cavity through the inlet, partially filling the cavity. Thereafter the inlet is plugged, and the mold is shaken to allow the PU material to be evenly distributed and harden on the inside walls of the cavity, which forms the ball cover of the ball, and at the same time, an accommodating space for the ball core is formed in the cavity of the ball cover. Thereafter the plug in the inlet is removed and core material is injected through the inlet into the interior cavity which hardens, thereby completing the shape and formation of the outer cover of the ball and the ball core. Finally, the mold is removed, and the outward appearance of the ball is trimmed. Using this simple method for manufacturing balls, with the additional benefit of having a simplified manufacturing process, greatly increases the production rate of softballs and baseballs: this method for first forming the ball cover, then the ball core, results in better integrated and tighter fitting baseballs and softballs, thereby ensuring better physical properties and characteristics of the ball. | 09-27-2012 |
