  • Patent number: 6607468
    Abstract: A trampoline system includes a frame comprising a border rail encircling an opening and a plurality of support legs projecting from the frame. A trampoline bed is disposed within the opening and is secured to the border rail by a plurality of springs. The trampoline bed has a perimeter edge that is inwardly spaced apart from the border rail. A plurality of poles each upwardly project from the frame at spaced apart locations around the border rail. One or more tubular cushions encircle each of the poles. A flexible enclosure wall vertically upwardly extends above the trampoline bed so as to encircle the trampoline bed at the perimeter edge thereof. A plurality of elongated elastomeric ties extend from each pole to the enclosure wall so as to tightly support the enclosure wall in the vertical orientation. Stitching is used to secure the bottom edge of the enclosure wall adjacent to the perimeter edge of the trampoline bed.
