  • Publication number: 20240392817
    Abstract: A method for attaching a trampoline jumping mat to a trampoline frame using a plurality of clips and elastic connectors, each elastic connector having a first end that is a part of a loop, each clip having a handle connected to a hook, the handle having an aperture and a protrusion. The method includes, for each clip: passing the first end of an elastic connector through the aperture; attaching the hook to the trampoline frame; turning the first end to a first direction, so as to be guided around the hook, thereby changing to a second direction; passing the first end through an opening of the trampoline jumping mat, thereby changing back to the first direction; and pulling the first end over the protrusion, to be fastened to the protrusion. The first direction is from the handle to the hook, and is opposite to the second direction.

  • Patent number: 12036446
    Abstract: A trampoline having a frame and a jumping mat formed in a single piece from woven elasticated material. The trampoline has a flat base portion lower than the periphery of the jumping mat, and an integral side portion continuous with the base portion around the entire periphery thereof and extending to the periphery of the jumping mat. The jumping mat is connected to the frame by at least two biasing connectors to be supported under tension above ground or floor. The frame may include a first circumextending support coupled to the periphery of the jumping mat by at least one biasing connector to support the periphery of the jumping mat above the ground or floor. A circumextending safety enclosure net has first and second portions extending respectively above and below the level of the first circumextending support. the second portion extending to a second circumextending support forming part of the frame.

  • Patent number: 10265562
    Abstract: A trampoline comprising a trampoline mat defining a jumping area and supported via springs from a circumextending support structure, the support structure including a plurality of legs so that the trampoline mat is positioned at a height above ground or flooring; the trampoline being provided with a safety enclosure surrounding the jumping area. The safety enclosure comprises a net supported by a plurality of telescopically extendable poles, each pole when extended comprising a plurality of sections, each successive extended section with distance above the trampoline mat having a cross-section less than that that of the next less extended section whereby the sections nest when telescopically collapsed. The lowermost such section is supported at a position above the ground or flooring by the support structure.
