International Classification:

E04H 1560

US Classification:

135114, 135124, 135127, 428376, 428392

Abstract:

A support structure for use primarily as a lightweight, portable, strong, and fracture resistant tent support and the like, and method for making thereof. The support structure includes a fiberglass core and a resilient outer layer of material that is at least 0. 2 millimeters thick. Preferably, the outer layer is made of polyethylene that is between 0. 5 to 0. 6 millimeters thick, inclusive. In a preferred embodiment, the support structure is curved to conform with the shape of the tent it supports, thereby preventing the support structure from springing back when inadvertently released from the tent. More preferably, the support member includes a plurality of elongate curved sections that are detachably secured together to form the support member.

International Classification:

A63B 5/11

US Classification:

482 27

Abstract:

A spring arrangement for a trampoline includes a rebounding surface, a frame structure having a top portion and a bottom portion, and a plurality of spring members that are mechanically coupled between the rebounding surface and the frame structure. A first group of spring members are mechanically coupled to the top portion of the frame structure and a second group of spring members are mechanically coupled to the bottom portion of the frame structure. In one exemplary embodiment, the spring members of the first group and the second group are alternately arranged along the frame structure. In another exemplary embodiment, the frame structure is formed by a plurality of frame members.

Appl. No.:

Craig Adams - Portland OR, US

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A recreational structure, such as a trampoline frame, can be quickly and reliably assembled using a sleeve-joint coupling having a “T” configuration. A first arm member and an aperture that is formed in the sleeve-joint coupling are disposed in an opposite relationship. A second arm member and a third arm member are disposed in an opposite relationship with each other. The first arm member receives one end of a vertical frame member of the recreational structure, while the aperture receives one end of a vertical pole member of, for example, a safety enclosure. The second and third arm members each receive one end of a horizontal frame member of the recreational structure. A tension member applies a force between a vertical frame member and a corresponding vertical pole member that compresses the vertical frame member toward the corresponding vertical pole member.
