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: 6818036Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a cylconic separation unit with a dirty air inlet and a cleaned air outlet at a first end and a dirt collection portion at a second end. The separation unit is supported on the cleaner such that the inlet is located in a lower portion of the first end and such that, in normal use, the longitudinal axis of the chamber lies in, or can be brought to lie in, a substantially horizontal position. A shield member is provided at the inlet for shielding the inlet from the dirt collection portion of the chamber. This helps to prevent dirt from becoming re-entrained in the airflow and the inlet and dirt from falling from the inlet when a user removes the separation unit. The shield also helps to straighten incoming airflow through the inlet. The shield can be formed integrally with a shroud or other insert that fits inside the separation unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Dyson LimitedInventor: Robert Brian Seaman

Patent number: 6572078Abstract: A changeover valve comprises a first valve member and a second valve member. The first value member has an aperture. The second valve member has first and second apertures. The first valve member is movable relative to the second valve member for selective alignment of the first value member aperture with one or other of the apertures of the second valve member. The value also has a ramp and follower means for automatically moving the valve member away from the one another during changeover movement of the first valve member relative to the second valve member so that wear on the surfaces of the valve members is minimized.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Dyson LimitedInventors: Andrew Walter McRae Thomson, Peter David Gammack, Robert Brian Seaman
