Abstract
A spring enclosure trampoline includes a trampoline bed connected across a horizontal frame member. The trampoline bed is supported by a plurality of springs. Trampoline legs support the horizontal frame member above a ground surface. A trampoline enclosure supports a trampoline enclosure net from a spring enclosure netting support. The trampoline enclosure surrounds the trampoline bed and the trampoline enclosure is supported on a trampoline pole. The spring enclosure netting support is formed as a leaf spring. The leaf spring is flexible in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction. A leaf spring vertical dimension is greater than the leaf spring horizontal dimension. A horizontal spring constant of the leaf spring, and a vertical spring constant of the leaf spring are different.
Claims15
A spring enclosure trampoline comprising:
- a. a trampoline bed connected across a horizontal frame member, wherein the trampoline bed is supported by a plurality of springs;
- b. trampoline legs supporting the horizontal frame member above a ground surface;
- c. a trampoline enclosure including a trampoline enclosure net supported from a spring enclosure netting support, wherein the trampoline enclosure surrounds the trampoline bed and wherein the trampoline enclosure is supported on a trampoline pole, wherein the spring enclosure netting support is formed as a leaf spring, wherein the leaf spring is flexible in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction, wherein a leaf spring vertical dimension is greater than a leaf spring horizontal dimension, wherein the leaf spring is formed as an elongated strip;
- and
- d. a horizontal spring constant of the leaf spring, and a vertical spring constant of the leaf spring, wherein the horizontal spring constant is less than the vertical spring constant so that the leaf spring is resiliently flexible in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction, but is more stiff in the vertical direction;
- and
- e. an enclosure sleeve of the trampoline enclosure, wherein the trampoline enclosure net is suspended from the enclosure sleeve.
