Abstract:
1. A trampoline comprising a trampoline sheet or mat supported around its periphery from a circumextending support structure by spring couplings under tension; the trampoline being provided with a net enclosure in which a generally circumextending net is mounted by respective sheaths on a plurality of poles coupled to the support structure and extending generally upright therefrom, the circumextending net having a first upper portion and a second lower portion contiguous with the first upper portion, the first upper portion being coupled to each of the sheaths at positions from an uppermost end of the sheaths mounted on their respective poles to an intermediate position between the uppermost end and a level defined by the sheet or mat, and the second lower portion being coupled to each of the sheaths at said intermediate position and having a lowermost edge coupled to the periphery of the sheet or mat inboard of the support structure, whereby, substantially about the whole of the net, the second lower portion serves at least largely to prevent a user from falling or treading upon the spring couplings, while the first upper portion extends for the greater part of the height of the circumextending net from an uppermost end of the circumextending net down to the height of the intermediate position at a position that corresponds generally to the periphery of the support structure.
