Publication number: 20200282253Abstract: A lightweight trampoline enclosure system has a bed subsystem and an enclosure subsystem. The enclosure subsystem comprises netting suspended from a plurality of flexible poles. Upon a jumper's impact into the surrounding enclosure subsystem, the energy of the jumper's impact is absorbed and distributed outward and away from the location of impact and into the trampoline bed subsystem.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Applicant: JumpSport, Inc.Inventors: Mark W. Publicover, William Knight Foster, Kevin Benjamin Charles, James Chau

Publication number: 20200023224Abstract: A trampoline with a frame has a rebounding mat that is tensioned to the frame with a plurality of flexible and cordlike linear elastic members. Cordlike elastic members are connected to the frame with at least one connector retaining the cord such that two portions of the cord extend at an angle greater than 5 degrees and less than 25 degrees relative to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2019Publication date: January 23, 2020Applicant: JumpSport, Inc.Inventor: Mark W.

Patent number: 10532238Abstract: A trampoline with a frame has a rebounding mat that is tensioned to the frame with a plurality of flexible and cordlike linear elastic members. Preferably each cordlike elastic member is connected to the frame and the rebounding mat at one of two alternative positions to alter the tension. The alternative positions permit a tensioning process that extends the lifetime of elastic cords having a fabric sheath. This independent tension of each elastic member is via connector member that grips the rebounding mat but also grasps opposing the ends of the elastic members as well as central portion thereof so that two segment of the cord between each end and the central portion are preferably wrapped around the trampoline frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: JumpSport, Inc.Inventor: Mark W.

Patent number: 10300319Abstract: A portable exercise system has a foldable perimeter frame comprising at least two elongated frame members that are joined by hinges. The hinges are joined to ends of the frame members, which ends are generally tubular. Each hinge has a cap-like body having an interior surface that defines a cavity configured to nestingly receive one of the ends of the frame members. A deformable plug is located within the central cavity of the one of the ends. A tightening mechanism is operated to expand the plug radially and thereby cause the end to expand radially such the generally tubular outer surface of the end frictionally engages the interior surface of the a cap-like body.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: JumpSport, Inc.Inventors: Mark W.

Patent number: 9339676Abstract: A fence surrounds a trampoline and extends above the rebounding surface, reducing the risk of injury. Shock absorption is aided in the preferred embodiment by a support system of independent poles, linked at their tops by a flexible strap or line. An impact anywhere on the fence causes the posts to flex inwardly, absorbing the force. Much of this impact injury is stored in system components and is subsequently returned, helping propel an errant jumper back onto to the rebounding surface. Numerous other embodiments and accessories are also detailed. Similar arrangements are suitable for use with above ground pools.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: JumpSport, Inc.Inventors: Mark W. Publicover, Donald Strasser
