Abstract: This disclosure falls in the technical field of trampoline safety enclosures, and more particularly to trampolines including a support frame for a safety enclosure. A trampoline comprising a safety enclosure net is supported by furcated enclosure members, furcated at a furcation location above the level of the jumping mat. The safety enclosure is attached to a set of enclosure supporting members such that the supporting furcated members support the top of the safety enclosure. The disclosure also extends to furcated trampoline enclosure supporting members and method of supporting a trampoline enclosure.

Abstract: A trampoline includes a jumping mat, a supporting frame, and a plurality of levers. The supporting frame is located proximal a jumping periphery of the jumping mat. The plurality of levers circumextend the jumping periphery. Each of the plurality of levers includes a rigid element connected to the supporting frame. The rigid element includes a jump mat end and a frame end. The rigid element pivots about a fulcrum connected to and supported by the supporting frame. The jump mat end is connected to the jumping mat at a jumping mat connection located proximal the jumping periphery. A tensioner is connected between the lever at a tensioner attachment and the supporting frame. Each lever and tensioner is configured to apply tension to the jumping mat in the form of a force applied against the jumping periphery of the jumping mat in a direction away from the jumping mat.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing inventory purchasing is presented. A system can include one or more processing modules and one more non-transitory storage modules. The storage modules can contain instructions that perform acts corresponding to optimizing inventory purchasing, particularly for seasonal items. The demand for related items can be rolled-up to create a more complete base from which to make calculations. Price can be used to create a more accurate measure of demand. One can also forecast the effect of a future price reduction on demand. This more accurate measure of demand can then be used to order goods. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.
