Abstract:
1. A pop action toy ball assembly, comprising: a lower hemispherical section having a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first surface and said second surface both extend from a wide base rim to a first central apex, wherein a first aperture is disposed through said lower hemispherical section at said first central apex, and wherein said lower hemispherical section is selectively positionable between a normal orientation, where said first surface faces outwardly, and an inverted orientation, where said second surface faces outwardly; and an upper hemispherical section having a second central apex, wherein a second aperture is disposed through said upper hemispherical section at said second central apex, and an elongated shaft joining said lower hemispherical section to said upper hemispherical section, said elongated shaft having an impact disc at one end, a knob at an opposite end, and a stop disc disposed on said elongated shaft proximate said impact disc; wherein said elongated shaft extends through said first aperture of said lower hemispherical section between said impact disc and said stop disc, therein mechanically interlocking said elongated shaft with said lower hemispherical section; and wherein said elongated shaft extends through said second aperture of said upper hemispherical section between said stop disc and said knob, therein enabling said elongated shaft to freely move through said second aperture between said stop disc and said knob as said lower hemispherical section moves between said normal orientation and said inverted orientation; wherein said upper hemispherical section and said lower hemispherical section form a spherical shape when said lower hemispherical section is in said normal orientation.
