  • Trampoline frame pads
    Patent number: 11285370
    Abstract: A trampoline frame pad system for use in conjunction with a trampoline having a jumping mat that is operably attached to a support frame. The trampoline frame pad system includes a foam core, a protective cover, a cover tightening mechanism and a primary pad attachment mechanism. The foam core has a first surface. The protective cover has an opening that is adapted to receive the foam core. The cover tightening mechanism is attached to the protective cover so that the cover tightening mechanism is capable of substantially tightening the protective cover over the first surface without the cover tightening mechanism extending over the first surface. The primary pad attachment mechanism is attached to the protective cover so that the primary pad attachment mechanism is capable of removably attaching the trampoline frame pad to the support frame.
