Embodiment Construction

[0019] Please refer to FIGS. 2 and 3 that are assembled and exploded perspective views, respectively, of a water trampoline according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the water trampoline includes an air cushion 20 having predetermined size and buoyancy, a supporting ring 30 detachably connected to a top surface 23 of the air cushion 20, and a protective cover 70 connected to a top of the supporting ring 30.

[0020] The air cushion 20 is substantially an annular hollow cushion defining a central open space 21. In the illustrated embodiment, the annular air cushion 20 has a polygonal shape. The air cushion 20 is provided on an outer peripheral surface with a plurality of spaced handles 22 for easy carrying and moving of the air cushion 20. And, in the illustrated embodiment, the air cushion 20 is inflatable.

[0021] The supporting ring 30 is made of a metal material, and includes a lower ring 31 and an upper ring 32 located above the lower ring 31 by a pred...

Abstract

A water trampoline includes an air cushion having predetermined size and buoyancy; a supporting ring detachably connected to a top surface of the air cushion, and including a lower ring having a diameter corresponding to that of the top surface of the air cushion, and an upper ring located above the lower ring by a predetermined height; and a jumping bed tightly stretched over the upper ring by a plurality of radially extended elastic elements. The jumping bed is located above the air cushion instead of in a central open space thereof, and therefore has effectively increased surface area and largely enhanced bearing strength to enable safer and more durable use of the water trampoline.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a water trampoline, and more particularly to a water trampoline having a jumping bed with effectively increased surface area and providing a largely enhanced bearing strength. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A trampoline mainly includes a jumping bed tightly stretched over an annular frame by a plurality of radially extended elastic elements. A user may jump on and be continuously rebounded from the jumping bed to do interesting exercise. U.S. Pat. No. 6,261,207 granted to Publicover et al. discloses a trampoline having the above-described structure. A safety net is provided to enclose a space above the jumping bed, so as to protect the user from accident due to colliding with the frame or falling off the jumping bed to the floor. [0003] Most conventional trampolines are of a floor type. However, the trampoline may also be used over water surface to create the same rebounding effect. The currently available water tram...
