Claims20
A trampoline system comprising:
- two adjacent trampoline jumping surfaces with each trampoline jumping surface comprising a surface edge that faces a corresponding surface edge of an adjacent trampoline jumping surface;
- one or plural vertically-extending frame members, each of said one or plural vertically-extending frame members extending (i) between said surface edge and said corresponding surface edge, and (ii) a distance dfm above upper surfaces of said two adjacent trampoline jumping surfaces;
- and
- one or plural platforms supported by said one or plural vertically-extending frame members, each platform having an upper platform surface and a lower platform surface, said lower platform surface being positioned a minimum distance dmin above said upper surfaces of said two adjacent trampoline jumping surfaces,
- wherein a portion of said lower platform surface of each of said one or plural platforms is configured to extend over springs used to fasten said two adjacent trampoline jumping surfaces to a trampoline support structure.

A trampoline system comprising:
- one or plural platforms in combination with a trampoline jumping surface with the trampoline jumping surface comprising a surface edge that faces said one or plural platforms;
- one or plural vertically extending frame members, each of said one or plural vertically-extending frame members extending (i) between said surface edge and a horizontally-extending support structure frame member of a trampoline support structure, (ii) between adjacent springs used to fasten said surface edge to said horizontally-extending support structure frame member, and (iii) a distance dfm above an upper surface of said trampoline jumping surface;
- and
- said one or plural platforms being supported by said one or plural vertically-extending frame members, each platform having an upper platform surface and a lower platform surface, said lower platform surface being positioned a minimum distance dmin above said upper surface of said trampoline jumping surface.
