  • Patent number: 10166422
    Abstract: A trampoline support frame comprises transversal and longitudinal branch pipes. The transversal ones are connected to form an annular frame. Each longitudinal one is provided with a fitting portion and two reinforcing portions integrally extended from the fitting portion to corresponding two side surfaces of the transversal one and then fixed to the transversal one by welding. The two reinforcing portions of each longitudinal one are extended from and integrally formed with the fitting portion, such that each transversal one is fixed to the two reinforcing portions by welding directly after the transversal one is placed between the two reinforcing portions without precision alignment, whereby the manufacturing process for the trampoline support frame is simplified, and manufacturing energy consumption is reduced to meet requirements for environment protection.

  • Publication number: 20120054999
    Abstract: A method of fabricating sleeves for trampolines includes steps of: first, bending a plate into a tube with a coupling seam bonded through a bonding process to form a sleeve; next, expanding an opening of the sleeve through an opening expansion means to form a body and an expanded opening section extended from the body; applying a compressive force to the expanded opening section to form an outer expanded portion and an inner folding portion. When the sleeve is coupled with a connection tube, the outer expanded portion and inner folding portion provide greater structural strength. Whether defects are formed on the coupling seam at the outer expanded portion and inner folding portion can be easily and visually detected after the fabrication process is finished. Thus defected sleeve can be instantly identified during the fabrication process to save extra inspection time. Fabrication productivity of trampolines also improves.

  • Publication number: 20110256945
    Abstract: A swing training apparatus includes an upright target portion and a ball capturing net. The target portion has a hit surface to be hit by golf balls. The hit surface has at least one ball inlet to receive the golf balls and a ball outlet at a lower section of the target portion. The ball capturing net is fastened to a side of the target portion to form a ball collection space therebetween. The ball collection space communicates with the ball inlet and ball outlet. The ball capturing net includes a ball guide slope leading to the ball outlet to direct the golf balls to leave the ball collection space through the ball outlet. Hence once the golf balls enter the ball inlet they can be retrieved easily for swing practice again without users going to the swing training apparatus to fetch the golf balls.
