Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007225094A1] The invention relates to the outer covering for a ball ( 1 ), in particular for a football, comprising a plurality of joined together, in particular, sewn, sections ( 2, 3, 4 ). The invention is characterised by a first group of essentially similar shaped sections ( 2 ) having an essentially circular shape which form or cover a spherical cap of the outer covering of the ball ( 1 ), or having an essentially ring-like shape which form or cover a spherical area of the outer covering of the ball ( 1 ) in order to produce said type of outer covering for a ball with the least possible amount of sections and the smallest number of joining points of several sewn parts. Two adjacent sections ( 2 ) of the first group are joined via a section ( 3 ) of a second group to an essentially similar shaped section, which adapts to one of the bordering shapes of the section ( 2 ) of the first group, and they have an elongate shape.
