Multiple layer novelty item and method of manufacture

Abstract

A squeeze ball novelty device having an outer elastomeric casing is provided that is filled with a fluid fill composition. A smaller inner elastic casing is provided within the interior of the outer elastic casing. The inner casing is filled with a plurality of secondary objects. The outer elastic casing and the inner elastic casing are separated by a layer of the fluid fill composition. The fluid fill composition is optically opaque. When the squeeze ball is squeezed, the secondary objects in the inner elastic casing cause the inner elastic casing to bulge. As the inner elastic casing bulges, it thins and becomes more transparent. Furthermore, as the inner elastic casing bulges it displaces the opaque fluid fill composition from between the inner and outer elastic casings. The outer casing thins and enables a person to clearly view the secondary objects within the squeeze ball.

1 . A novelty device comprising: 
 a plurality of secondary objects molded from an elastic material;    an inner elastomeric casing surrounding said plurality of secondary objects;    an outer elastomeric casing surrounding said inner elastic casing, said outer elastomeric casing being larger than said inner elastomeric casing, therein creating a gap space between said outer elastomeric casing and said inner elastomeric casing;    a first volume of fill material disposed within said gap space in between said inner elastomeric casing and said outer elastomeric casing.    
   
   
       2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of secondary objects are dispersed within a second volume of fill material.  
   
   
       3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said first volume of fill material is optically opaque.  
   
   
       4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said inner elastomeric casing and said outer elastomeric casing are both spherical in shape.  
   
   
       5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said secondary objects has a configuration selected from a group consisting of insects, body parts and vermin.  
   
   
       6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said outer elastomeric casing has a decorated exterior surface.  
   
   
       7 . A method of manufacturing a novelty device, comprising the steps of: 
 providing a first elastomeric casing;    providing a plurality of elastomeric objects;    filling said first elastomeric casing with said plurality of elastomeric objects;    providing a second elastomeric casing;    inserting said first elastomeric casing into said second elastomeric casing, wherein said second elastomeric casing envelops said first elastomeric casing creating a gap space around said first elastomeric casing in between said first elastomeric casing and said second elastomeric casing;    filling said gap space with a liquid fill material.    
   
   
       8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein said liquid fill material is optically opaque.  
   
   
       9 . The method according to  claim 7 , further including the step of mixing a liquid with said plurality of elastomeric objects within said first elastomeric casing.  
   
   
       10 . A squeeze ball assembly, comprising: 
 a plurality of ball casings of differing sizes, wherein all of said plurality of ball casings are concentric, therein creating gap spaces between adjacent ball casings; and    fill material filling said gap spaces between said adjacent ball casings.    
   
   
       11 . The assembly according to  claim 10 , further including a core chamber within a smallest of said plurality of ball casings.  
   
   
       12 . The assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein said ball casings are elastic.  
   
   
       13 . The assembly according to  claim 11 , further including a plurality of three-dimensional elastic objects contained within said core chamber.  
   
   
       14 . The assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein said fill material is opaque.  
   
   
       15 . The assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein each of said ball casings increases in transparency when stretched.  
   
   
       16 . The assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein each of said elastic objects has a configuration selected from a group consisting of insects, body parts and vermin.
