Abstract: A trampoline (10) includes a bed (14), a base frame (12), a bed suspension assembly (16) that resiliently couples the bed (14) to the base frame (12), and a plurality of legs (20) that are connected to the base frame (12) so as to maintain the base frame (12) above a surface (36). The base frame (12) includes a first side frame (22), a second side frame (24), a first end frame (26), and a second end frame (28). The plurality of legs (20) includes (i) a first leg (20A) that is secured to the first side frame (22) and the first end frame (26), (ii) a second leg (20B) that is secured to the first side frame (22) and the second end frame (28), (iii) a third leg (20C) that is secured to the second side frame (24) and the second end frame (28), and (iv) a fourth leg (20D) that is secured to the second side frame (24) and the first end frame (26).
Abstract: A trampoline assembly (10) includes a bed (12), a base frame (14), a plurality of first resilient members (16) that connect the bed (12) to the base frame (14), and a support assembly (22). The support assembly (22) includes (i) a plurality of support arches (26) connected to the base frame (14) and cantilevering upward away from the base frame (14); (ii) a first support segment (28) that is connected to the base frame (14) and one of the support arches (26); (iii) a second support segment (30) that is connected to the base frame (14) and one of the support arches (26); (iv) a support bar (32); and (v) a plurality of support resilient members (34) that connect the support bar (32) to at least one of the plurality of support arches (26). In some embodiments, the plurality of support arches (26) extend around only a portion of the base frame (14). Further, each support arch (26) can be connected to at least one of the other support arches (26).
Abstract: A trampoline (10) includes a base frame (14) having a substantially non-rectangular perimeter region (38), a bed suspension assembly (16) and a bed (12). The bed (12) is coupled to the base frame (14) with the bed suspension assembly (16). Further, the bed (12) includes a first pair of substantially parallel sides (34A, 34B). For example, the bed (12) can be rectangular in shape, or can include a second pair of arc-shaped sides (36A, 36B). The perimeter region (38) can be substantially oval-shaped or circular-shaped. The trampoline (10) can also include one or more side sections (18, 22) and one or more side suspensions (20, 24) that couple the side sections (18, 22) to the base frame (14). In one embodiment, the side sections (18, 22) each include an inner side (54, 58) that is substantially linear and an outer side (56, 60) that is substantially arc-shaped.
