Abstract
An amusement device is comprised of a dumbbell arrangement including a first thin semi-spherical half shell having a first open end, a second thin semi-spherical half shell having a second open end, a first foam filler material secured in the first half shell and extending partially out of the first open end to define a first non-skid playing surface, a second foam filler material secured in the second half shell and extending partially out of the second open end to define a second non-skid playing surface, and a telescoping connecting shaft connecting the first and second half shells, the shaft extending through the first and second filler materials and having opposite ends for connecting the first and second half shells, respectively, the shaft having a length sufficient to separate the first and second half shells in spaced apart relation with the first and second playing surfaces in spaced, opposing relation and to collapse the dumbbell arrangement into a ball configuration; and a baton for twirling the dumbbell arrangement, the baton having opposite ends, one of which is capable of being grasped by a person and the other of which is capable of engaging against the first and second non-skid playing surfaces to twirl the dumbbell arrangement, the baton being capable of storage in the passages in the first and second filler materials when the dumbbell arrangement is collapsed.
