Claim:
A trampoline and cage ball game device comprising: a trampoline frame structure with a spring supported flexible trampoline bed attached thereto; a plurality of support legs for supporting the trampoline frame and flexible bed; a single continuous open ended sheet of flexible material that is folded into four reinforced corners defining a pair of end wall panel sections and a pair of side wall panel sections forming an enclosed cage structure, wherein each reinforced corner comprises horizontal lengths of the single continuous sheet of flexible material are folded to double over upon itself so that a plurality of layers of the flexible material forms each reinforced corner fold; a plurality of elongated corner pipes attached to inner corners of the trampoline frame structure extending beyond the top of the enclosed cage structure, the corner pipes having first spring attachments secured between the plurality of elongated corner pipes and the four reinforced corner folds to stretch the enclosed cage structure at the end wall panel sections; a plurality of intermediate stabilizing elongated pipes are positioned at locations in between and further outward of the plurality of corner pipes to allow the pair of side wall panel sections of the enclosed cage structure to be fully stretched further outward relative to the trampoline frame structure to maintain and prevent the pair of side wall panel sections of the enclosed cage structure from collapsing inward by second spring attachments extending between the plurality of intermediate elongated pipes and an intermediate reinforced seam extending substantially along the entire vertical length of each of the pair of side wall panel sections of the enclosed cage structure; and a plurality of stabilizing pipes selectively positioned between the plurality of corner pipes and pairs of the stabilizing pipes being oriented and extended at an angle away from the side wall panel sections between the intermediate elongated pipes and the corner pipes via an offset connector on the corner pipes and a swivel connector on the intermediate elongated pipes to achieve greater stability and balance of the trampoline frame and enclosed cage structures.
