A trampoline is an
elevated, essentially buoyant webbed bed or canvas sheet supported by springs
or elastic shock cords. It is surrounded by a metal frame and used as a
springboard for tumbling.
The trampoline is used in
the sport of trampolining (sometimes called rebound tumbling). In the sport,
the trampoline is used to rebound the athlete, so he or she can perform
acrobatic movements in midair. The trampoline is also a training tool for
gymnasts, divers, and pole vaulters.
Raw Materials
Trampolines are made of
four basic components: the tubing, springs, jumping mat, and safety pads.
The tubing, used to make
the frame and legs of the trampoline, is usually made of galvanized steel and
is bought at a certain length and width from a supplier. Using galvanized steel
protects the frame from rust and environmental conditions as many home
trampolines are for outside use.
The springs, which give
the trampoline its bounce, are commonly made to the specifications of the
trampoline company by another supplier. Usually, the company making the springs
specializes in spring manufacture.
The jumping mats are made
of woven fibers. Today, mats are made of artificial fibers like polyethylene or
nylon. The heavily woven fabric is WV-protected to prevent fading when used out
of doors.
Safety pads go over the
springs and frame and are made of foam. They have vinyl covers and pie straps
to connect the pads to the frame. The manufacture of the foam core of the
safety pads is also outsourced and made to manufacturer specifications.
Trampoline for group
exercise consists of a closed octagon-shaped steel frame. A height-adjustable
stand with hand rail is attached to the front side of the frame by removable
screw joint. Jumping mat _ is attached to the frame by a suspension element –
rubber belt. Special rubber belt with high extensibility ensures dynamic and
smooth movement. Trampolines are designed for use in fitness centers, hotel
centers and wellness centers, schools and home use
