The present disclosure is relates to a TPU ball structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The TPU ball structure includes a ball bladder layer, a yarn layer and a surface layer. The ball bladder layer is made of TPU material. The yarn layer is made of TPU material, and the yarn layer is disposed to cover the ball bladder layer. The surface layer is made of TPU material, and the surface layer is disposed to cover the yarn layer. The above layers of the TPU ball structure are made of TPU material to satisfy a requirement for environmental protection, and are recyclable. There is no need to use adhesive to adhere the above layers of the TPU ball structure. Therefore, the peeling strength between the layers of the TPU ball structure can be increased so that the whole peeling strength of the TPU ball structure can be increased.

A process for manufacturing a non-degumming, seamless and surface-laminated basketball, comprising the steps of: step 1: wrapping the inner bladder by threads, thereby shaping the carcass; step 2: preparing the uncured foamed middle bladder; step 3: preparing the half-finished PU surface-laminated ball; step 4: placing the half-finished leather ball obtained from step 3 into a curing mold; subsequently, curing under low temperature and low pressure via the thermal cross-linking method, thereby forming the cured PU foamed basketball; Step 5: testing the air-holding performance of the PU foamed basketball being cured under a low temperature and mounting the air nozzle, thereby obtaining the finished basketball; by means of the present invention, the prior curing process of the middle bladder and related downstream process can be saved.

A basketball may include a single integrally formed unitary body having a first layer comprising an inner lattice, second layer having an outer lattice and surface strips, and radial beams interconnecting the first layer and the second layer.

The present invention discloses a multi-layer inflatable toy and a manufacturing method thereof. The toy comprises a liner, an intermediate layer and a surface covering; the liner is filled with air, and the intermediate layer is arranged between the liner and the surface covering; the liner is made of rubber material, and the intermediate layer and the surface covering are made of flexible material or elastic material; and the intermediate layer may be of a single-layer or multi-layer structure. In the present invention, a pet toy of a multi-layer structure is manufactured by using a liner inflating process, so that the product is light and can float on water, thus the problem that the toy cannot be retrieved or used continuously after falling into water is avoided, and the harm to people and objects by throwing is avoided.

An object with a tactile outer layer includes, for example, a ball having an outer surface and a series of protrusions or spikes on the outer surface. The protrusion each appear as a tear-dropped shape mass that includes a base having a relatively flat bottom adhered to the outer surface of the ball and a narrow tip and/or curved tail extending away from the outer surface.

Manufacturing can be performed by mounting the object and utilizing injection arms that deposit elastomer globules on the object. The globules are deposited by pressure through a reservoir in the injection arm and the injection arms are then withdrawn to product the tail shape.

A method of manufacturing a sport ball includes providing a plurality of casing panels including a first panel and a second panel. The first panel has a first surface and an opposite second surface. The first panel includes a first flange area forming a first edge portion of the first panel. The second panel has a third surface and an opposite fourth surface. The second panel includes a second flange area forming a second edge portion of the second panel. The method includes turning the first flange area away from the first surface of the first panel, turning the second flange area away from the third surface of the second panel, abutting the first flange area and the second flange area, and joining the first panel to the second panel.
