Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010133305A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a ball (1), particularly a soccer ball, comprising the steps: a) producing a flat, level base material (2) constructed in at least two layers (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and a cover layer (3) and at least one material layer (4, 5, 6, 7) below said cover layer; b) cutting out panels (8) of the desired shape from the base material (2); c) applying the panels (8) to a carrier body (9), particularly to a ball bladder. In order to provide a more uniform hardness to the ball across the extent of the circumference, the invention proposes that at least the edge area (10) of the panels (8) is heated and the edge area (10) is formed during or after step b), such that the side of the panels (8) covered by the cover layer (3) takes on a convex shape (11) in the edge area (10). The invention further relates to a ball.
