Abstract

The present invention is directed to a golf ball possessing an overall unique and perceptively pleasing golf ball having an overall color appearance of two colors wherein more than one golf ball layer/component contributes to the bi-color appearance without the need to position and align the outer layers/components in relation to the inner layer/component.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf ball having an overall bi-color color appearance comprising:
 a core and a cover disposed about the core;   the core having color A;   the cover comprising a cover portion CP 1  and a cover portion CP 2 , wherein CP 1  is opaque and has color B and CP 2  is translucent and has color D such that D≠A; and   wherein the golf ball has an overall color appearance comprising SA 1  and SA 2 , wherein SA 1  comprises an entire surface area of CP 1  and SA 2  comprises an entire surface area of CP 2  such that SA 1  is opaque and has a color appearance of the color B and SA 2  has a color appearance of a color E wherein E=A+D.   
     
     
         2 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein A=B. 
     
     
         3 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein A≠B. 
     
     
         4 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein B has a hue h 1  and D has a hue h 2  such that h 1 =h 2 . 
     
     
         5 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein B≠D. 
     
     
         6 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein the surface areas of CP 1  and CP 2  are substantially similar. 
     
     
         7 . A golf ball having an overall bi-color color appearance comprising:
 a core and a cover disposed about the core;   the core having color A;   the cover comprising a cover portion CP 1  and a cover portion CP 2 , CP 1  and CP 2  having a boundary L, wherein CP 1  is opaque and has color B and CP 2  is translucent and has color D such that D≠A; and   wherein the golf ball has an overall color appearance comprising two colors SA 1  and SA 2  that have the boundary L,   such that SA 1  is opaque and has a color appearance of the color B and SA 2  has a color appearance of a color E wherein E=A+D.   
     
     
         8 . The golf ball of  claim 7 , wherein boundary L is planar. 
     
     
         9 . The golf ball of claim,  7 , wherein boundary L is nonplanar. 
     
     
         10 . The golf ball of  claim 7 , wherein CP 1  and CP 2  have substantially similar surface areas. 
     
     
         11 . The golf ball of  claim 7 , wherein A=B. 
     
     
         12 . The golf ball of  claim 7 , wherein A≠B. 
     
     
         13 . The golf ball of  claim 7 , wherein B has a hue h 1  and D has a hue h 2  such that h 1 =h 2 . 
     
     
         14 . The golf ball of  claim 7 , wherein B≠D. 
     
     
         15 . A golf ball having an overall bi-color color appearance comprising:
 a core, a cover disposed about the core and an intermediate layer disposed between the core and the cover;   the intermediate layer having color A;   the cover comprising a cover portion CP 1  and a cover portion CP 2 , wherein CP 1  is opaque and has color B and CP 2  is translucent and has color D such that D≠A; and   wherein the golf ball has an overall color appearance comprising SA 1  and SA 2 , wherein SA 1  comprises an entire surface area of CP 1  and SA 2  comprises an entire surface area of CP 2  such that SA 1  is opaque and has a color appearance of the color B and SA 2  has a color appearance of a color E wherein E=A+D.   
     
     
         16 . The golf ball of  claim 15 , wherein CP 1  and CP 2  have substantially similar surface areas. 
     
     
         17 . The golf ball of  claim 15 , wherein A=B. 
     
     
         18 . The golf ball of  claim 15 , wherein A≠B. 
     
     
         19 . The golf ball of  claim 15 , wherein B has a hue h 1  and D has a hue h 2  such that h 1 =h 2 . 
     
     
         20 . The golf ball of  claim 15 , wherein B≠D.
