## Abstract

A trampoline comprises multiple movement sensors associated with one or more parts of the trampoline which move when the trampoline is bounced on by a user such as the trampoline mat, and an electrical wiring loom which connects to the movement sensors to a controller or a common connector at another end of the wiring loom. Various sensor mount and wiring loom options are described.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A trampoline comprising multiple movement sensors associated with a mat of the trampoline to provide an electrical signal indicative of bouncing on the trampoline, which sensors are attached to the mat by a mount comprising a topside mount part on one side of the trampoline mat and an underside mount part on another side of the trampoline mat, which topside mount part and underside mount part are fixed together through the trampoline mat.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A trampoline according to claim 1 wherein said topside mount part and underside mount part are fixed together through the trampoline mat by at least one projection from one of said topside mount part and underside mount part which is snap fit received in the other of said topside mount part and underside mount part.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A trampoline according to claim 2 wherein said topside mount part comprises multiple projections from said topside mount part through the mat.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

A trampoline according to claim 2 wherein said projection comprises a pointed end adapted to pierce the mat of the trampoline.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A trampoline according to claim 1 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

A trampoline according to claim 2 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A trampoline according to claim 1 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts and wherein said underside mount parts comprise a cap over said movement sensors.

### Claim 8

A trampoline comprising multiple movement sensors associated with a mat of the trampoline to provide an electrical signal indicative of bouncing on the trampoline, which sensors are attached to the mat by a mount comprising a topside mount part on one side of the trampoline mat and an underside mount part on another side of the trampoline mat, which topside mount part and underside mount part are fixed together by fastening parts through the mat between said topside mount part and underside mount part.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

A trampoline according to claim 8 wherein said fastening parts project from said topside mount part.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

A trampoline according to claim 9 wherein said fastening parts are snap fit received in the underside mount part.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

A trampoline according to claim 8 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

A trampoline according to claim 9 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

A trampoline according to claim 11 wherein said underside mount parts comprise a cap over said movement sensors.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

A trampoline according to claim 12 wherein said underside mount parts comprise a cap over said movement sensors.

### Claim 15

A trampoline movement sensor and sensor mount for attaching a movement sensor to a mat of a trampoline, comprising:
a movement sensor to provide an electrical signal indicative of bouncing on the mat of a trampoline, and
a trampoline mat sensor mount comprising a topside mount part to be positioned on one side of a trampoline mat and an underside mount part to be positioned on another side of the trampoline mat with the topside mount part and underside mount part fixed together through the trampoline mat by fastening parts extending through the mat.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

A trampoline movement sensor and sensor mount according to claim 15 wherein said topside mount part and underside mount part are fixed together by at least one projection from one of said topside mount part and underside mount part to the other of said topside mount part and underside mount part.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

A trampoline movement sensor and sensor mount according to claim 15 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

A trampoline movement sensor and sensor mount according to claim 16 wherein said movement sensors are carried by said underside mount parts.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

A trampoline movement sensor and sensor mount according to claim 17 wherein said underside mount parts comprise a cap over said movement sensors.

### Claim 20 (depends on 18)

A trampoline movement sensor and sensor mount according to claim 18 wherein said underside mount parts comprise a cap over said movement sensors.
