Abstract
The invention is a system for trampoline park framing, distribution, and assembly. The trampoline parking framing system includes frame sections, coupling plates, supports, springs, material, and all the nuts and bolts needed for assembly. The invention can be designed, built, shipped, and assembled without the need to send over a support team. The frame levels itself with the tightening of the plates and the supports are adjustable to conform to uneven floor levels. The frame includes additional accessories to secure the springs to the frame sections in order to increase security of the apparatus. Also included can be safety pads or mats to cover the frame sections and the springs to reduce risk of serious injury.
Claims19
A trampoline park framing system comprising:
- a plurality of frame sections wherein some trampolines share some of the frame sections;
- a plurality of plates, each having three sections that are a middle section with two wing sections on each opposite sides of the middle section and each of the sections of the plate having a plurality of holes and the plate is coupled to the bottom of each end of each frame section making a flush side wherein the plates are bolted together through the holes when coupling frame sections together;
- a plurality of bolts and nuts to couple the plate sections together coupling the frame sections;
- a plurality of material pieces to substantially cover the area surrounded by frame sections;
- a plurality of elastic elements coupling the material to the frame sections;
- and
- a plurality of supports coupled to the frame section bottom to elevate the frame sections off of a floor.
A trampoline park apparatus comprising:
- one trampoline comprising:
- four frame sections coupled together to form a quadrilateral enclosing an area coupled via eight plates wherein each plate is coupled to an end of each frame section and then the plates are bolted together to secure and level the frame of the trampoline;
- a plurality of supports each coupled to a frame section to raise the frame section at an elevation above of a floor;
- a first piece of material substantially covering the enclosed area and coupled to each frame section via a plurality of elastic elements;
- a second trampoline comprising:
- three frame sections coupled together with one of the frame sections of the first trampoline to form a second quadrilateral enclosing an second area adjacent to the first trampoline via six new plates and two of the existing plates in trampoline one where each plate is coupled to an end of each frame section and the plates are then bolted together to secure and level the frame;
- a plurality of supports each coupled to a frame section to raise the frame to an elevation above the floor;
- a second piece of material substantially covering the second area and coupled to the frame sections via a plurality of elastic elements.
A trampoline park apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of trampoline sections with material secured to frame sections via elastic elements and the trampoline sections are coupled together via plates wherein each plate is secured to the end of each frame section that comprises the trampoline and the plates are bolted together to secure and level the trampoline sections wherein the trampoline sections share at least one frame section with another trampoline section;
- a plurality of supports coupled to the trampoline sections to elevate the trampoline sections above a floor.
