Claims
- 1. A method for making an erratically movable game device, the method comprising:
- providing a hollow ball made of an elastomeric material, the ball having a flexible wall which defines a filler opening;
- providing a hollow bladder made of an elastomeric material, the bladder having a flexible wall including a tubular protrusion which defines a filler passageway;
- partially inserting the bladder into the ball through the filler opening so that at least a portion of the protrusion remains outside the ball;
- then injecting liquid into the bladder through the passageway;
- then sealing the passageway to prevent the escape of liquid;
- then inserting the remainder of the bladder into the ball;
- then inflating the ball to a desired pressure by injecting gas through the opening; and
- then sealing the opening to prevent the escape of gas.
- 2. A method for making an erratically movable game device, the method comprising:
- providing a hollow ball made of an elastomeric material, the ball having a flexible wall which defines a filler opening;
- providing a hollow bladder made of an elastomeric material, the bladder having a flexible wall which defines a filler passageway;
- positioning the bladder inside the ball so that liquid can be injected from outside of the ball, through the filler opening and the filler passageway, and into the bladder;
- injecting liquid through the passageway and the filler opening and into the bladder;
- sealing the passageway to prevent the escape of liquid that was injected into the bladder;
- inflating the ball to a desired pressure by injecting gas into the ball; and
- sealing the opening through which gas was injected to prevent the escape of gas after the ball is inflated.
- 3. A method for making an erratically movable game device, the method comprising:
- providing a hollow ball made of an elastomeric material, the ball having a flexible wall which is generally spherical when the ball is inflated and which defines a filler opening;
- providing a hollow bladder made of an elastomeric material, the bladder having a flexible wall which defines a filler passageway;
- positioning the bladder inside the ball with the filler passageway communicating with the exterior of the ball so that liquid can be injected from outside of the ball, through the filler opening and the filler passageway, and into the bladder;
- injecting liquid through the passageway and the filler opening and into the bladder;
- sealing the passageway to prevent the escape of liquid that was injected into the bladder;
- inflating the ball to a desired pressure and to a size substantially greater than the bladder by injecting gas into the ball; and
- sealing the opening through which gas was injected to prevent the escape of gas after the ball is inflated.
