The LED light and sound ball for emergency responders is activated upon contact after being fired from a launcher to illuminate and direct responders to an area of interest, such as a potential crime scene. The ball includes a clear polymeric, spherical outer casing, and a rectangular, clear inner casing having a circuit board mounted therein. A plurality of rig rods extend through the inner casing and include curved heads that are in close proximity to the inner surface of the spherical outer casing. Upon impact, the outer casing flexes and pushes against one of the curved heads and pushes its associated rig rod inward, thereby closing a contact that triggers a control circuit to continuously illuminate a plurality of bright LEDs and continuously activate a sound generator that emits a foghorn-type alarm. The LED light and sound ball may be thrown or fired from a conventional compressed air launcher.

The present disclosure provides for various objects (weights, playing apparatuses, balls, clothing, etc.) that have liquid disposed in them to assist in building and strengthening small muscle fibers and/or nerves. The various objects can include weights, playing apparatuses such as objects that can be swung in sports, balls, and clothing or other objects that can be worn by humans or other animals. The objects include fluid paths and re-directions walls disposed within the fluid paths to direct fluid flow to particular areas within the objects. The designated areas to where fluid flow is directed aid in development of small muscle fibers and/or nerves due to the fluid sloshing around at those particular locations. Methods of making and using the various objects disclosed are also provided.

A massage kit having a foam roller, a massage device, and a removable cover. The massage device includes a flat bottom surface with a curved top surface. Protrusions extend from the massage device and are configured to interact with the removable cover to hold the cover in place on the top surface or the bottom surface of the massage device. The roller includes an opening sized and dimensioned to receive the massage device.

A sports ball for use in baseball-type games includes a hollow, substantially spherical plastic ball that has a plurality of substantially planar, intersecting regions covering an outer surface thereof. Preferably the ball also has a weight that is substantially less than a weight of a regulation baseball, for enhancing safety in use. The sports system further includes a bat for use with the ball, or with any similar ball, preferably a plastic ball. The bat is a hollow, elongated member that has a handle portion adjacent a bottom end and a barrel portion between the handle portion and a top end. The bat further has a sheath surrounding at least a portion of the barrel portion. The sheath has a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of a surface of the barrel portion, for imparting “traction” to a struck ball.

A method of producing toy balls for pets, including: manufacturing distorted sphere balls with an opening in the distorted area using injection molding; sealing the opening of the distorted sphere balls to form uni-body sphere-shaped balls. The material used in the production of these toys can be rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, or thermoplastic rubber. This method allows to manufacture toy balls with no detached parts in the case of broken joints when the balls are chewed or torn apart by the pets. Thus, the ball can help to keep the pets from endangering themselves by swallowing detached parts of pet toy balls.
