Definitions
- the present invention concerns a trampoline with a trampoline mat fastened to a surrounding frame for suspending the trampoline mat, and including a support for the frame, where the frame has at least two frame sections with a first, collapsed position for storing and moving the trampoline, and a second, unfolded position where the frame sections in the unfolded position are horizontal and the trampoline mat is suspended.
- Trampolines for sporting applications as compared with those developed for children's' play are often rather heavy and may therefore be difficult to tow from place to place, e.g. from a storage compartment to a sports centre. Therefore, there are some trampolines which are provided with a wheeled frame in order to facilitate towing.
- a trampoline which also has a wheeled frame.
- the wheeled frame divides the trampoline into two equally large parts.
- the trampoline is collapsed by folding the two sides up against each other. Simultaneously with folding up the sides, the legs are hanging down along the sides.
- the trampoline track is composed of sections according to the concertina principle.
- the carriage furthermore has a wire drive with a wire with a handle which is connected with the sections, where the wire drive may be used for facilitating the folding.
- trampolines by the folding and unfolding of the trampolines, quite a lot of physical strength is to be used, usually requiring action by two persons. Furthermore, individual parts of the trampolines are to be folded according to a very certain sequence which requires some expertise in order to avoid moments of danger during the handling of the trampoline. Since a folding trampoline has some joints and rods which are moving in relation to each other during folding or unfolding, there is furthermore a risk of getting limbs, such as fingers or hands, caught and squeezed.
- a trampoline with a trampoline mat fastened to a surrounding frame for suspending the trampoline mat in the frame, and including a support for the frame, where the frame has at least two frame sections with a first, folded position for storing and moving the trampoline, and a second, unfolded position where the frame sections in the unfolded position are horizontal and the trampoline mat is suspended, where the trampoline is peculiar in that the trampoline includes electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means for unfolding and folding the frame, respectively.
- automatised means it is possible that a person may actuate the automatics at a safe distance from the trampoline and is thus not subjected to the physical load or the moments of danger associated with folding or unfolding trampolines according to prior art. Even though the problem of moments of danger has been known for many years, one has refrained from using automatised means.
- the automatics may e.g. include a remote control controlling the automatised means, which e.g. may include an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, or an electric wire drive.
- the automatised means which e.g. may include an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, or an electric wire drive.
- the source of power such as an accumulator/battery
- the trampoline becomes independent of an external source of power in the vicinity of the trampoline during the folding procedure.
- the support may include a frame which via a connection is connected with a frame section, and where an actuator is part of this connection.
- Such actuators with remote control are commercially available.
- connection may advantageously include a fitting which the actuator may be adapted to displace in relation to the frame.
- the frame sections may be rotatably fastened to the fitting, and the connection may include means which by displacing the fitting relatively to the frame forces the frame section into a rotational movement in a rotary link.
- a displacement of the fitting in relation to the frame causes unfolding or folding of the trampoline.
- This is particularly advantageous in that it is not required to connect an actuator to the individual frame sections, but one may suffice to connect the actuator to the fitting, whereby is achieved a simple transmission of the forces to be used at the unfolding and folding from the actuator to the frame sections.
- the means which by displacement of the fitting relative to the frame forces the frame sections to a rotational movement in the rotary link, may include a first connecting rod which at one end is rotatably fastened to the frame and at its opposite end is rotatably fastened to a frame section.
- the actuator may advantageously be arranged to displace the fitting mainly vertically in relation to the frame.
- the displacing may e.g. occur along a pair of supports which in an embodiment may include a substantially vertical pipe or column.
- the supports may include a pair of U-sections or T-sections.
- the trampoline assumes its unfolded position when the fitting is in the top position, and the folded or collapsed position when the fitting is in its bottom position.
- the frame may be provided with wheels for easy towing of the trampoline.
- the fitting may be equipped with wheels which are arranged for contact with the floor only when the fitting is lowered to a bottom position in relation to the frame. When the fitting is displaced upwards, the wheels move upwards, whereby the frame will be supported on the floor.
- the frame may be provided with skid-proof legs, whereby it is achieved that the frame and thereby the trampoline are standing safely on a base when the trampoline is unfolded. However, the trampoline rests on the wheels of the frame when the trampoline is folded. It is thus not necessary to equip the wheels with strong locks, as the wheels do not have to hold the trampoline in position during use, but only keep in place during storage, e.g. in a depot.
- a trampoline according to the invention may in a second embodiment include two pairs of frame sections at opposite sides of the frame, where each pair of frame sections have an inner frame section and an outer frame section in continuation of each other, where the inner frame section is the frame section closest to the frame.
- the inner and the outer frame section of each pair may be interconnected in a pivot joint so, when folding the trampoline, as to dispose the inner and the outer frame section opposite each other in an at least approximately vertical position.
- Dividing the frame into several parts at each side of the frame causes that the frame sections may be collapsed to a smaller size so that the height of the trampoline in collapsed state is substantially taking up one quarter of the length of the entire frame.
- One may thus use a longer frame without at the same time providing a trampoline which in the folded state has greater height than a standard doorway.
- the means which by displacement of the fitting relative to the frame forces the frame sections to a rotational movement in the rotary link, may include a second connecting rod which at one end is rotatably fastened to the fitting and at its opposite end is rotatably fastened to the ends of two short rods, of which one short rod is rotatably fastened at its opposite end to the inner frame section, and the second short rod is rotatably fastened at its opposite end to the outer frame section.
- the two short rods may be disposed in relation to each other so that they stand perpendicularly to each other while the trampoline is unfolded.
- a symmetric folding of the trampoline as the outermost end of the outer frame section is lowered substantially the same distance as the fitting is lowered in relation to the frame, if the lengths of the two frame sections are largely the same.
- the electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means may advantageously be integrated in the frame, whereby a compact construction may be achieved. These means may possibly be integrated in the component parts of the frame in such a way that persons' inadvertent contact with these means is avoided, particularly when they are activated. Hereby the moments of danger associated with free-standing electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means or the wire drive in which there is a risk of getting limbs, such as fingers, caught are avoided.
- the electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means may include an electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically powered spindle in a column as a part of the frame, and the fitting may be connected with the spindle via a nut which upon rotating the spindle moves longitudinally of the spindle.
- the trampoline In the collapsed state, the trampoline may have height and width dimensions which are less than a standard door opening, thus facilitating towing of the trampoline when it is used in buildings provided with standard doors with a typical height of two metres and a width of one metre. It is thus not required to mount special doors in the buildings where it is desired to use the trampoline.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a trampoline with a trampoline mat fastened to a surrounding frame for suspending the trampoline mat, and including a support for the frame, where the frame has at least two frame sections with a first, collapsed position for storing and moving the trampoline, and a second, unfolded position where the frame sections in the unfolded position are horizontal and the trampoline mat is suspended.
- Trampolines for sporting applications as compared with those developed for children's' play are often rather heavy and may therefore be difficult to tow from place to place, e.g. from a storage compartment to a sports centre. Therefore, there are some trampolines which are provided with a wheeled frame in order to facilitate towing.
- In US 2,600,572 is described a foldable trampoline with a wheeled frame dividing the trampoline into two equally large parts. The trampoline is folded in such a way that the two parts will stand up along the frame with the legs folded down along the side.
- In US 724,244 there is described a trampoline which also has a wheeled frame. The wheeled frame divides the trampoline into two equally large parts. The trampoline is collapsed by folding the two sides up against each other. Simultaneously with folding up the sides, the legs are hanging down along the sides.
- In US 3,156,318 discloses a trampoline which is substantially collapsed according to the same principle as the so-called Safelift® - trampoline from Continental®. This means that the ends and the legs are folded up around a centre piece which is subsequently rotated so that it stands vertically.
- In EP 765 677 is described a trampoline track in connection with a carriage. The trampoline track is composed of sections according to the concertina principle. The carriage furthermore has a wire drive with a wire with a handle which is connected with the sections, where the wire drive may be used for facilitating the folding.
- Common to the above trampolines is that by the folding and unfolding of the trampolines, quite a lot of physical strength is to be used, usually requiring action by two persons. Furthermore, individual parts of the trampolines are to be folded according to a very certain sequence which requires some expertise in order to avoid moments of danger during the handling of the trampoline. Since a folding trampoline has some joints and rods which are moving in relation to each other during folding or unfolding, there is furthermore a risk of getting limbs, such as fingers or hands, caught and squeezed.
- This entails that schools, where often there is only limited time for the gym periods and where often there is only one teacher available for the pupils, are disfavouring trampoline gymnastics since neither teacher nor pupils have the required strength and expertise for handling the trampoline. Besides, the folding and unfolding procedure takes up much of the class time.
- Also, in the more competitive trampoline gymnastics these problems with handling the trampolines appear.
- It is therefore the purpose of the invention to provide a foldable trampoline which is easy to tow, and where the folding and unfolding procedure takes only short time, is simple, does not imply the previously mentioned hazards and may be performed by one person without using appreciable physical strength.
- This purpose is fulfilled with a trampoline with a trampoline mat fastened to a surrounding frame for suspending the trampoline mat in the frame, and including a support for the frame, where the frame has at least two frame sections with a first, folded position for storing and moving the trampoline, and a second, unfolded position where the frame sections in the unfolded position are horizontal and the trampoline mat is suspended, where the trampoline is peculiar in that the trampoline includes electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means for unfolding and folding the frame, respectively.
- By using automatised means it is possible that a person may actuate the automatics at a safe distance from the trampoline and is thus not subjected to the physical load or the moments of danger associated with folding or unfolding trampolines according to prior art. Even though the problem of moments of danger has been known for many years, one has refrained from using automatised means.
- The automatics may e.g. include a remote control controlling the automatised means, which e.g. may include an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, or an electric wire drive. In connection with using electric means, it is possible to integrate the source of power, such as an accumulator/battery, in the trampoline, for example in connection with an underframe for supporting the frame. Thereby the trampoline becomes independent of an external source of power in the vicinity of the trampoline during the folding procedure.
- In a specific embodiment, the support may include a frame which via a connection is connected with a frame section, and where an actuator is part of this connection. Such actuators with remote control are commercially available.
- The connection may advantageously include a fitting which the actuator may be adapted to displace in relation to the frame. The frame sections may be rotatably fastened to the fitting, and the connection may include means which by displacing the fitting relatively to the frame forces the frame section into a rotational movement in a rotary link. Hereby is achieved the simple effect that a displacement of the fitting in relation to the frame causes unfolding or folding of the trampoline. This is particularly advantageous in that it is not required to connect an actuator to the individual frame sections, but one may suffice to connect the actuator to the fitting, whereby is achieved a simple transmission of the forces to be used at the unfolding and folding from the actuator to the frame sections.
- The means, which by displacement of the fitting relative to the frame forces the frame sections to a rotational movement in the rotary link, may include a first connecting rod which at one end is rotatably fastened to the frame and at its opposite end is rotatably fastened to a frame section. By this arrangement of the means there is achieved a simple control of the rotation of the frame sections around the rotary link when the fitting is displaced in relation to the frame.
- The actuator may advantageously be arranged to displace the fitting mainly vertically in relation to the frame. The displacing may e.g. occur along a pair of supports which in an embodiment may include a substantially vertical pipe or column. In other alternative embodiments, the supports may include a pair of U-sections or T-sections. In a practical embodiment, the trampoline assumes its unfolded position when the fitting is in the top position, and the folded or collapsed position when the fitting is in its bottom position.
- The frame may be provided with wheels for easy towing of the trampoline. In an alternative embodiment, the fitting may be equipped with wheels which are arranged for contact with the floor only when the fitting is lowered to a bottom position in relation to the frame. When the fitting is displaced upwards, the wheels move upwards, whereby the frame will be supported on the floor. The frame may be provided with skid-proof legs, whereby it is achieved that the frame and thereby the trampoline are standing safely on a base when the trampoline is unfolded. However, the trampoline rests on the wheels of the frame when the trampoline is folded. It is thus not necessary to equip the wheels with strong locks, as the wheels do not have to hold the trampoline in position during use, but only keep in place during storage, e.g. in a depot.
- A trampoline according to the invention may in a second embodiment include two pairs of frame sections at opposite sides of the frame, where each pair of frame sections have an inner frame section and an outer frame section in continuation of each other, where the inner frame section is the frame section closest to the frame. The inner and the outer frame section of each pair may be interconnected in a pivot joint so, when folding the trampoline, as to dispose the inner and the outer frame section opposite each other in an at least approximately vertical position. Dividing the frame into several parts at each side of the frame causes that the frame sections may be collapsed to a smaller size so that the height of the trampoline in collapsed state is substantially taking up one quarter of the length of the entire frame. One may thus use a longer frame without at the same time providing a trampoline which in the folded state has greater height than a standard doorway.
- In an embodiment with two frame sections at each their side of the frame, the means, which by displacement of the fitting relative to the frame forces the frame sections to a rotational movement in the rotary link, may include a second connecting rod which at one end is rotatably fastened to the fitting and at its opposite end is rotatably fastened to the ends of two short rods, of which one short rod is rotatably fastened at its opposite end to the inner frame section, and the second short rod is rotatably fastened at its opposite end to the outer frame section. By simple means is hereby achieved a coordination of the folding of the two frame sections.
- In a further embodiment, the two short rods may be disposed in relation to each other so that they stand perpendicularly to each other while the trampoline is unfolded. Hereby is achieved a symmetric folding of the trampoline as the outermost end of the outer frame section is lowered substantially the same distance as the fitting is lowered in relation to the frame, if the lengths of the two frame sections are largely the same.
- The electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means may advantageously be integrated in the frame, whereby a compact construction may be achieved. These means may possibly be integrated in the component parts of the frame in such a way that persons' inadvertent contact with these means is avoided, particularly when they are activated. Hereby the moments of danger associated with free-standing electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means or the wire drive in which there is a risk of getting limbs, such as fingers, caught are avoided.
- The electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically automatised means may include an electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically powered spindle in a column as a part of the frame, and the fitting may be connected with the spindle via a nut which upon rotating the spindle moves longitudinally of the spindle. Hereby is achieved a simple way of elevating and lowering the fitting and thereby unfolding and folding of the trampoline, where the trampoline may be unfolded and folded while using a relatively small motor power.
- In the collapsed state, the trampoline may have height and width dimensions which are less than a standard door opening, thus facilitating towing of the trampoline when it is used in buildings provided with standard doors with a typical height of two metres and a width of one metre. It is thus not required to mount special doors in the buildings where it is desired to use the trampoline.

trampoline 2 as in Fig. 2, where the trampoline is partly folded. In order to prevent that thefeet 52 of thesupport legs 48 from skidding along the base during unfolding and folding of thetrampoline 2, thesupport legs 48 are provided with rollers (not shown) which are disposed under the connecting rod 50. These rollers may be lowered against the base by means of a screw mechanism 49. The folding procedure is substantially the same as described in connection with Fig. 1. - Fig. 4 shows a
trampoline 2 according to the invention which is folded. It appears that theframe sections wheels 20 are engaging the base in this folded position, while thefoot 46 of theframe 8 is elevated from the base. Since it is only thewheels 20 that are engaging the base when the trampoline is folded, it will be easier to tow it (2) while it (2) is folded. - Fig. 5 shows a close-up view of a part of a
trampoline 2 according to the invention. On the Figure appears a pivot joint 10 connecting aninner frame section 4 with anouter frame section 6. It appears that asupport leg 48 is also connected to the pivot joint 10. Besides, a part of the second connectingrod 30 appears which via twosmaller rods outer frame section 6. In the second end, the second connectingrod 30 is pivotably connected to the frame which is shown on Figs. 1-3. In order to ensure correct disposition of thesupport leg 48 during unfolding the trampoline, aspring 54 is provided between the support leg and theouter frame section 6. - Fig. 6 shows a second close-up view of a detail of a
trampoline 2 according to the invention. Here is seen a better representation of asupport rod 56. It appears that thesupport rod 56 is divided into two parts which are pivotably connected in a pivot joint 58. Hereby is achieved that thesupport rod 56 may be folded during the folding of thetrampoline 2. In unfolded condition, two members of the support rod will be in continuation of each other. - In order to avoid possible moments of danger when using the unfolded
trampoline 2, the pivot joint 58 is equipped with a lockingpin 60 which is shown on Fig. 7. When the trampoline is unfolded, thesupport rod 56 may be secured by simply turning the lockingpin 60, whereby the two parts of thesupport rod 56 are secured in continuation of each other. In addition, on the Figure is seen a part of thetrampoline mat 44.
