Patent number: 10806958Abstract: A trampoline includes a jumping mat, a supporting frame, and a plurality of levers. The supporting frame is located proximal a jumping periphery of the jumping mat. The plurality of levers circumextend the jumping periphery. Each of the plurality of levers includes a rigid element connected to the supporting frame. The rigid element includes a jump mat end and a frame end. The rigid element pivots about a fulcrum connected to and supported by the supporting frame. The jump mat end is connected to the jumping mat at a jumping mat connection located proximal the jumping periphery. A tensioner is connected between the lever at a tensioner attachment and the supporting frame. Each lever and tensioner is configured to apply tension to the jumping mat in the form of a force applied against the jumping periphery of the jumping mat in a direction away from the jumping mat.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Action Sports Equipment Pty Ltd.Inventors: Robert Brian Seaman, David Andrew Jones, Murray David Kirby Hunter, Lee David Blattmann

Patent number: 10506870Abstract: A table top utilising an anchor affixed to the said table top and at least one leg to support the table top above a ground surface. The anchor is adapted to engage with the leg via a pivoting joint, such that the leg can pivot between an active position where leg is presented to engage with the ground to support the table top above the ground, and a stowed position wherein the leg is disposed to extend substantially adjacent (preferably parallel) to the lower surface of said table top. The leg is releasably retained in the stowed position by the interaction of a catch and receiver at a location distal from the pivoting joint.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: BCG DESIGN GROUP LIMITEDInventors: Andrew David Cameron, Han Young Hwang, Lee David Blattmann

Patent number: 8333529Abstract: A fastener (10) is adapted to releasably fix a first element (12) and a second element (14). The fastener (10) includes a channel (22) having a plurality of spaced lockers (28). The lockers (28) are movable into the channel (22). The fastener (10) also has a locking tongue (30), having a plurality of spaced blockers (32). The tongue (30) is movable within the channel (22) between a locked position in which the blockers (32) prevent movement of the lockers (28) into the channel (22) and an unlocked position in which the lockers (28) are not prevented from moving into the channel (22).Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2011Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Telezygology, Inc.Inventors: Dickory Rudduck, Lee David Blattmann, Geoffrey David Sizer

Patent number: 8066462Abstract: The invention provides a fastener (10) which has an actuating means (12), a bias means (14) and a flexible core (16). The flexible core (16) has an means for engaging (18) which may be integral with but is preferable separate from the flexible core (16) The actuating means (12) includes a material adapted to contract when activated, such as shape memory alloy. Upon contraction of this material, the means for engaging (18) is movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position. The bias means (14) biases the flexible core (16) to the engagement position.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2006Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Telezygology, Inc.Inventors: Dickory Rudduck, Lee David Blattmann
