Abstract

The trampoline (20) comprises a structure (10) rigidly supported by a plurality of legs (15), and a box spring (12) elastically supported inside the structure (10) by a plurality of springs (11), of which a first end is attached to the structure (10) and a second end of which is fixed to the bed base (12). A massage sole (13) made of a soft and elastic material is movably disposed on the bed base (12) and comprises a plurality of rounded-headed reliefs (14) formed on the upper face of the massage sole (13) .

Description

The present invention relates generally to a trampoline, and

  in particular a trampoline having a removable massage sole disposed on the box spring for massaging the soles of the feet of the players when they use the trampoline. Trampoline is a well-known activity. The trampoline game can be played inside a surface

  very limited and suitable for city dwellers.

  Conventional trampolines include

  general a structure carried at its base by several feet.

  A box spring is resiliently supported inside the structure by several springs, one end of which is attached to the structure and another end fixed to the bed base, so as to allow players to jump and bounce on the bed base, contact between the soles of the player's feet and the base deforming the base so as to

  store elastic energy. The trampoline convention-

  nel has no other function.

  According to the old medical theory

  Chinese, there are a number of hypodermi-

  in the human body. This theory has recently been proven by modern medical research. By stimulating these hypodermic cavities, certain therapeutic results

  can be obtained from the human body.

  It is therefore desirable to provide a hypodermic massage member on the base of a trampoline so as to stimulate the hypodermic cavities located at the soles of the feet of a player when he uses the trampoline, and this to increase the degree

using the trampoline.

  Thus, the main objective of the present invention is to produce a trampoline with a massage member disposed on it in order to massage the hypodermic cavities located at the level of the soles of the player's feet when this player jumps on the box spring

trampoline with these feet.

  In order to achieve this objective, there is provided according to the invention a trampoline comprising a structure rigidly carried by a plurality of feet, and a mattress elastically supported inside the structure by a plurality of springs, one end of which is attached to the structure and a second end of which is fixed to the bed base, it comprises a massage sole made of a soft and elastic material, movably disposed on the bed base and comprising a plurality of reliefs with rounded heads formed on the upper face of the massage sole and arranged in such a way that these rounded head reliefs are oriented upwards and in the opposite direction of the bed base when the massage sole is placed on the

bedspring.

  Advantageously, the soft and elastic material from which the massage sole is made contains rubber. Other features and benefits of

  the invention will appear on reading the description which

  follows a preferred embodiment of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying figures, o: - Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a trampoline with a massage member mounted thereon in accordance with the present invention; - Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a trampoline according to the invention with a massage sole separated from the base of the trampoline; and - Figure 3 is a sectional view showing a player standing on the massage sole placed on

the base of the trampoline.

  With reference to the figures and in particular to Figures 1 and 2, where a trampoline 20 produced according to the present invention is shown, the trampoline 20 comprises a

  structure 10 rigidly carried by a plurality of feet 15.

  A box spring 12 is resiliently supported inside the structure 10 by several springs 11. Each of these springs 11 has a first end attached to the structure and a second end fixed to the bed base 12. Until then, the structure of the trampoline 20 carried out according to the present

  invention is the same as that already known.

  According to the present invention, the trampoline 20 further comprises a massage sole 13, preferably made of a soft and elastic material, such as rubber, having a surface area smaller than that of the bed base 12, so as to be entirely extended on and thus supported by the bed base 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the massage sole 13 is simply placed on the bed base 12. However, releasable fixing means (not shown) can be used to more securely hold the sole massage 13 on the base 12 in a removable manner. The massage sole 13 comprises a plurality of reliefs with rounded head 14 formed on an upper surface of this sole, and arranged so that, when the massage sole 13 is placed on the base 12, the reliefs 14 are oriented towards the high, that is to say away from the bed base 12, to allow a player to stand and / or jump on it, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In this way, the hypodermic cavities located at the soles of the player's feet 16 can be contacted and compressed, and thus stimulated by being massaged

  by the reliefs with rounded head 14.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the reliefs with rounded head 14 are full. However, the reliefs 14

  can of course be constituted by hollow reliefs.

  In addition, these reliefs can take any suitable form.

  wheat, such as a cone with a rounded head, a relief in the form of a pebble or semi-ellipsoidal. Of course, other forms that do not injure the soles of the player's feet when the player

  jumps on the sole can also be adapted.

  The removable nature of the massage sole 13 of the base 12 allows the trampoline 20 to be used like a normal trampoline by simply removing said sole. Of course even if the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is susceptible of variant embodiments which will appear to a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention such as

claims.
