The beach ball was invented by Jonathon DeLonge in 1938 in California. Beach balls are manufactured in a wide variety of sizes, with diameters ranging from a few inches to four feet. They generally consist of a set of soft plastic panels--two circular panels, one of which contains a valve for inflation, are connected by a series of bulged-rectangle-shaped pieces, which are joined side-by-side and form most of the surface area of the ball.
Fun with Beach Balls
Beach Balls are a ton of fun at the beach, at graduations and concerts so why not your office? If you work among rows of cubicles, you can start at one end and pass the ball around over your heads to the other end. Get a couple of balls going around your office and your day at work will be more fun than a day in the sun.
Inflating My Beach Ball
Not having fun with your new beach ball? Maybe there's no air in it! Follow these simple steps to fill your ball with air and wait for the fun to begin. A pump inflator is simple hand pump can be used to inflate Beach Balls.
1. Find your beach ball's air spout
2. Pull on the air spout until it sticks out from the surface of the ball.
3. Open the spout.
4. Wash the air spout thoroughly with soap and water. Rinse well.
5. Fill your lungs with air and seal your lips around the spout.
6. Exhale into the ball.
7. Plug the opening of the spout with your tongue, open your mouth and inhale.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 until the ball is fully inflated.
9. Quickly close the air spout and press it back under the surface of the ball.
Some beach balls have air valves to prevent air from escaping when the spout is open. Inflating this type of ball is similar to inflating a non-valve ball, except there's no need to plug the spout with your tongue as you inhale. Instead, gently squeeze the base of the spout with your fingers or teeth as you exhale and release your grip while you inhale.
