Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field Of The Invention [0002] This invention relates generally to an accessory item for trampolines, and more particularly, to a trampoline accessory that facilitates the spraying of water onto individuals when using the trampoline, and even more particularly to such an accessory that directs the spraying from essentially the entire periphery of the trampoline regardless of trampoline surface shape. [0003] 2. Description Of The Related Art [0004] This invention is directed to a trampoline accessory that is dissimilar from other known accessories for trampolines. The trampoline itself can be traced to archaeological drawings in ancient China, Egypt and Persia. From then until the mid-twentieth century, a number of methods were devised to allow man to gain time in the air. The trampoline is one of these methods.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015] The primary objective of this invention is to provide an accessory for trampolines that facilitates the spraying of individuals while they are using the trampoline.

[0016] Another objective of this invention is to provide such an accessory that can be easily assembled and installed onto a trampoline.

Problems solved by technology

However, the modern day trampoline was not invented until 1936, when it was developed by two Americans as an alternative to having to repair trapeze netting.

Furthermore, some trampoline users lose interest in continuing to use the device if all they can do is merely jump up and down, as that activity for some can quickly become boring.
