Abstract
An inflatable padded game ball comprising an inner bladder assembly and an outer carcass enclosing the bladder assembly. The carcass comprises an outer cover of relatively tough durable material, padding on the inside of the cover, and a liner on the inside of the padding. The inner bladder assembly comprises an inflatable bladder of an elastic substantially air-impervious material, and a sheath around the bladder for restraining expansion of the bladder when it is inflated thereby to reduce the outward pressure on the carcass and thus increase the dimensional stability of the ball.
