RECOVER PACK FOR TENNIS BALLS Filed Sept. 19, 1954 Q 4 MAURkCEMB/IYON WWW Patented Nov. 12, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention relates to apparatus and material for recovering used tennis balls.
It is well known that tennis balls through use expected bounces. centers are in of satisfactory play.
The principal vide means for recov factory centers be prolonged With a tice and for ordinary so that the life of In many cases, however, the perfect condition and capable object of my invention is to proering or resurfacing satisthe ball can substantial savings in ex- Such balls can readily be used for pracplay without the necessity,
as has heretofore been the practice, of throwing away worn balls with good centers. The greatest demand for such balls will be with tennis clubs and organizations.
ing to prevent indivi ings of my invention Another object of the fabric covers, preferably However, there is nothduals following the teachand utilizing the same.
invention is to provide of felt, cut to fit the centers either with straight sides or resembling a figure 8. These covers of the usual shape will come to the coach or user ready for application to the centers.
A further object of the invention is to provide a recovering unit having the edges coated with a preparation that retains its vulcanizing properties more or less i ndefinitely so as to make practicable the application of the re-covering unit to the stripped period of time after unit has left the fact Heretofore, it has n enter of the ball for a long the prepared re-covering ory.
ot been practical to recover the centers because various forms of new ters with elaborate e quipment. This is particularly true as far as the edges of the strips are concerned, it being highly desirable that these edges be adhered together to prevent the curling of the covers.
Still another object vide the covers in the centers with a of the invention is to propacks ready for attachment to cold rubber cement placed to the air does not on one face of each strip,
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the rubber center having above and below the same a semi-cover;

in the drawing, in which similar parts are designated by like numerals:
Numeral 5 refers to a center from which the former cover has been removed. The re-coverto encase the center. have been employed in securing the covers to the center, the preferred form at the present time being the use of cement. The securing of the edges The present invention proposes to apply cold cement 8 to the inner face of the covers 6 and l and on the edges 9, the term cold cement being a trade designation for a rubber cement which as has been previously stated retains its vulcanizing property notwithstanding its prolonged exposure to air. The cover pieces 6 and I will be dispensed in packs, preferably of ten or a dozen, as shown in Figure 4, congruently piled.
A mold or heating apparatus H3 is shown in Figure 3 for receiving the centers with the covers 5 and 7 in place.
As actually used, the coach or tennis attendant upon the old co-vers becoming worn, will strip the same from the balls. Two of the ready-prepared patches 6 and 7, having cold cement or other vulcanizable material along the edges 9 and The centers, place, are then placed in the heating apparatus in pressure at the surface of the ball and' result in the two pieces forming the cover being firmly in place and'the edges closely adhering together; The pieces the user complete with cold cement along the edges as well as on one face of the covers, making it feasible for the recovering of centers away from the place of manufacture. The furnishing of ready-prepared covers to individuals, coaches and attendants suitable for recovering the cen- V ters, makes .itt'onlynecessary'to have a heating apparatus in order to recover the centers, and
will result in a great savings in cost and oper ation.
Numerous variations may doubtiess be devised forming the covers come to V posure to air, one
by personsskilled in the art without departing from the principles of my invention. 1, there-' fore, desire no limitations to be imposed onmy invention, except such as are indicated in the appended claim;
What I claim is: 7
Patch pack for tennis ball re-covering service comprising a plurality of shaped fabric blanks,
eongruentiy piled, and havingrthe air-exposed edges which constitute the sides oi the .pile coati0 ed with a pvulcanizable cement; th "yulcanizing property of which" is unirripairedbyprolohged ex- 7 face of each blank having a' vulcanizabie cementitious coating. 7
