Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0773045A2] The football cover has a number of flat sections which are sewn together along their mating edges, so that the surface of the ball has a pattern provided by a group of 5-sided surfaces (12) and a group of 6-sided surfaces, or 3-armed star surfaces (31). Each 5-sided surface is enclosed by a 6-sided surface or a 3-armed star surface on each of its 5 sides, with a number of 6-sided surfaces or 3-sided star surfaces combined as a single cut-out. The 5-sides surfaces are formed by individual cut-out blanks.
