Claim Text:
1. A trampoline comprising: a plurality of first vertical members, wherein the plurality of first vertical members comprise a top and a plurality of side apertures; wherein the side apertures are configured to attach to at least one of a plurality of upper level horizontal members and at least one of a plurality of lower level horizontal members; wherein, the lower level horizontal members are configured to attach to a plurality of springs for supporting a lower jumping surface; further wherein, the upper level horizontal members are configured to attach to a plurality of springs for supporting an upper jumping surface; wherein, the plurality of upper level horizontal members coupled to the first vertical members generally define a first perimeter of a jumping area, wherein the jumping area is comprised of the upper jumping surface and the lower jumping surface; a plurality of second vertical members, the second vertical members having a height greater than the first vertical members; a plurality of second horizontal members coupled to the second vertical members and at least partially defining a second perimeter, wherein the second perimeter is greater than the first perimeter; and at least one cap, wherein the cap is positioned on the top of a first vertical member, wherein the cap comprises: a lower platform, wherein the lower platform comprises a substantially rectangular element which is curved to form a first lower concave surface and a first upper convex surface, wherein said lower concave surface is secured to the first vertical member, further wherein said upper convex surface comprises a first plurality of raised projections; and an upper platform, wherein the upper platform comprises a substantially rectangular element which is curved to form a second lower concave surface and a second upper convex surface, wherein said second lower concave surface is secured to a raised projection extending from the lower platform, further wherein said second upper convex surface comprises a second plurality of raised projections; wherein the first plurality of raised projections are configured to receive a first cable for providing tension oriented in a first direction; and further wherein the second plurality of raised projections are configured to receive a second cable for providing tension which is oriented in a second direction, wherein the second direction is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
