Abstract
A trampoline support frame is made up of a base frame 3 and tubular holders 8 arranged to retain the lower ends of respective resiliently flexible rods 2, with the tubular holders 8 located at least partly within the base frame 3. The base frame may have a number of interconnectable base sections 4, 5. The base sections may be coupled by an extending tongue portion 6 of one base section engaging into a recess 7 in an adjacent base section. The tongue portion of each base section may be provided with a slot arranged to receive at least one of the tubular holders of the adjacent base section. A trampoline has a flexible mat 1, the base frame 3, and a number of resiliently flexible rods 2 each having an upper end retained in the flexible mat and a lower end retained in a respective tubular holder 8.
