Definitions

  • the invention relates to improvements to a trampoline for sporting and/or recreational use which is soft-edged relative to conventional trampolines which support the mat of the trampoline via a solid peripheral frame and exposed springs between the frame and the mat.
  • US patent 6,319,174 discloses a form of soft-edged trampoline in which the mat of the trampoline is supported by a plurality of resiliently flexible rods received in a frame of the trampoline at the lower ends of the rods and coupled to the periphery of the bouncing mat of the trampoline at their upper ends, and which avoids the need for a solid frame about the exterior of the bouncing mat and exposed springs between the frame and periphery of the mat.
  • WO 2004/105885 relevant only to novelty, discloses a trampoline including a flexible mat and a plurality of resiliently flexible rods, in which the rod stiffness against bending is within the range of about 400 to about 1200 N/m.
  • the invention provides an improved or at least alternative form of such a soft-edged trampoline.
  • the invention according to claim 1 comprises a trampoline including a flexible mat, a plurality of resiliently flexible rods the lower ends of which are retained in a frame of the trampoline and the upper ends of which are coupled to the mat about a periphery of the mat to support the mat, in which the rod spring stiffness against bending is greater than 1200 and up to 3000 N/m.
  • the rods are deflected at their upper ends, from a natural state of rest when the rods are in position in the frame at their lower ends but before connection with the mat edge at their upper ends, to connection with the mat, by greater than 300 and up to 450 mm.
  • the rods which support the mat are deflected so as to apply an optimum load radially or laterally outwards to tension the mat appropriately for normal functioning of the trampoline, while at the same time the rods are of a length and diameter which gives the mat edge a vertical stiffness that is sufficiently resilient, impact-absorbing and safe for a jumper who might land on the edge out of control.
  • Trampolines of the invention may be circular, square, rectangular, or of other shapes such as octagonally shaped in plan view for example.
  • a preferred form trampoline comprises a flexible mat 1 on which users may bounce, a plurality of resiliently flexible rods 2, and a base frame 3.
  • the preferred form trampoline shown is circular in shape but the trampoline could be of any other desired shape such as oval, square, rectangular or similar.
  • the base frame of the preferred form trampoline comprises a circular beam 4 typically formed of steel or aluminium for example, which may be supported from the ground by legs 5.
  • the rods 2 are typically fibreglass rods and may be pultruded glass reinforced plastic rods, but may alternatively be formed of spring steel for example.
  • the lower ends of the rods are retained by the base frame 3 and the upper ends of the rods connect to fittings 6 as will be further described, which are coupled to the mat 1 about the periphery of the mat.
  • the lower ends of the rods 2 enter into tubular holders 7 fixed to the circular beam as shown, but the lower ends of the rods may be coupled to the circular beam, or a base frame of the trampoline of any other form, in any suitable way.
  • the mat which is typically heavy canvas or a woven synthetic material, is doubled back upon itself and fixed by stitching for example about the periphery of the mat to form a continuous pocket 8 extending about the periphery of the mat.
  • a number of the fittings 6 are positioned within this pocket in the peripheral edge of the mat as shown in Figures 3 and 3a in particular.
  • the fittings may be loosely captured within the pocket or alternatively may be stitched to the mat within the edge pocket, or mechanically fastened to the mat via rivets for example.
  • the rods in the preferred form each have a ball-shaped upper end 12 which connects to a socket cavity in the underside of one of the fittings 6.
  • the fittings 6 will be formed from a plastics material; by injection moulding for example.
  • the fittings may optionally include a slight dome on the body of the fitting over the socket cavity, on the underside of the fitting.
  • the fittings have an outer edge which in use is closest to the outer peripheral edge of the mat, which edge is wider in the planar than in the inner edge of fittings, so that the fittings have an approximate truncated triangular shape and plan view, with concave sides, but this is non-limiting and in other forms the fitting could be alternatively shaped.
  • the rods will be between 0.1 and 1.5 metres in length, and more typically between 0.5 and 1 metre in length.
  • the trampoline will then have a good balance of properties of, first, sufficient vertical stiffness at the mat edge so that that the edge will not "collapse" when a jumper lands on the edge, and second tension of the mat laterally to provide good jumping performance when a jumper is jumping centrally on the mat. That is, within these parameters, the rods are deflected so as to apply optimum load radially outwards to tension the mat for good jumping performance of the trampoline. At the same time, the rods are of a length and diameter which gives the mat edge a vertical stiffness that is sufficiently resilient, impact-absorbing and safe for a jumper who might land on the edge out of control.
  • Figure 5 plots these two measures, defining the ranges of the invention.
  • equation 5 is plotted in Figure 7 for the range of rod spring stiffnesses, being greater than 1200 N/m to up to 3000 N/m, but nominally 2000N/m. This is for glass reinforced pultruded rods. Other materials need another plot to define the length to diameter.
  • Figure 7 shows the combinations of rod length and rod diameter that will give performance for a trampoline edge in accordance with the invention. With the specified initial deflection x (nominally 220mm) these combinations will at the same time also give optimum performance to the trampoline mat as well.
  • the figure shows the rod combinations required to achieve the two key functions of mat tension and edge stiffness. These two functions can be achieved with different materials in the same way as shown in the example, but using the appropriate Young's Modulous, E, and coefficient, C 1 .
