Benefits of technology

[0007] A primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved gate for trampoline safety fence to ensure safe closure of the gate when the safety fence is in use.

Problems solved by technology

Since it is uncertain in what direction the user would fall after bouncing off from the jumping bed, accidents often occur.
According to statistical data, such accidents often happen particularly when the user is a child.
A disadvantage of the above-described trampoline safety fence is the protective net 13 forming the safety fence is frequently subjected to pull and stretch and tends to become slack and deformed after being used for a period of time, and the initial width of the overlapped portion 16 is reduced when the protective net 13 becomes slack and deformed, making the gate almost an area directly communicating an inner and an outer side of the safety fence.
It is very possible a user jumping on the jumping bed 11 would be unexpectedly bounced off the trampoline via the slack gate and dangerously injured.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4, in which a trampoline safety fence having a gate according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown, the trampoline includes a round jumping bed 31 connected to and tightly stretched over a ground frame 30 via a plurality of elastic elements radially extended between the jumping bed 31 and the frame 30. A protective net 33 is supported on a plurality of posts 32 surrounding an outer periphery of the trampoline to enclose a space above the jumping bed 31. Two sewed ends 34, 35 of the protective net 33 are overlapped by a predetermined width to form an overlapped portion 36 that serves as a gate.

[0019] The gate for trampoline safety fence of the present invention is characterized in that fastening elements are provided on the gate so that a user may selectively close or separate the overlapped portion 36. In the illustrated preferred embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, fastening elements 37 and 38, such as hook tapes and loo...

Abstract

A trampoline safety fence includes a protective net supported on a plurality of posts to enclose a space above a jumping bed of the trampoline. Agate is formed at a joint or an overlapped portion of two sewed ends of the protective net, and user-controllable and selectively openable fastening elements are provided on the protective net at the joint or within the overlapped portion corresponding to the two sewed ends to ensure safe closure of the gate of the trampoline safety fence. And, the selectively openable fastening elements may be magic tapes or zippers.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a gate for trampoline safety fence, and more particularly to a gate for trampoline safety fence adapted to ensure safe closure thereof when the safety fence is in use. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A trampoline typically includes a jumping bed connected to and tightly stretched over a ground frame via a plurality of elastic elements radially extended between the jumping bed and the frame. A user may stand on the jumping bed to continuously do various jumping movements. Since it is uncertain in what direction the user would fall after bouncing off from the jumping bed, accidents often occur. According to statistical data, such accidents often happen particularly when the user is a child. Therefore, it is necessary for the conventional trampoline to equip with safety means. [0003] U.S. Pat. No. 6,261,207 granted to Publicover et al. discloses a trampoline safety fence for enclosing a space immediately above the jumpin...
