An inflatable sport ball, such as a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, a
volleyball
or a playground ball, is provided with a self-contained inflation mechanism, or
multiple self-contained inflation mechanisms, for inflating or more likely adding
pressure to the ball. The mechanism is a pump which is inside of the ball and which
is operable from outside of the ball to pump ambient air into the ball. The pump
contains an integral pressure-indicating device to readily determine the relative
pressure of the ball.
