Abstract

The invention improves the safety of athletes. The device contains a protective grid 3. The horizontal section of this grid through the springs 4. The rods 1 and the brackets 2 are fixed to the trampoline frame. An elastic cushion 5 is also placed on this area. The vertical section of the frame is suspended from the support (ceiling) by cable 7 covering blocks 6 through springs 9. Due to the absence of open rigid grid elements and a trampoline, the risk of injury is reduced, 2 hp. f-ly, 2 ill.

Description

The invention relates to the field of sports, in particular to training equipment.

The purpose of the invention is to increase safety.

Figure 1 shows the device, a General view; figure 2 is a section aa in figure 1.

The adaptation to the trampoline for insurance of athletes contains rods 1, using brackets 2 rigidly fixed on one half of the trampoline frame at a distance of 10 cm from its sides and parallel to the frame, a protective net 3 (kapron), the horizontal part of which is connected by springs 4 to the rods 1, an elastic cushion (foam mat) 5 located on the horizontal part of the net 3, and a suspension unit including three rollers 6 through which a cable (nylon cord) 7 is passed, connected to the corners 8 of the upper vertical part of the net 3, and three the spring 9, one end of each of which is connected to the corresponding roller 6, the other ends of the two extreme springs 9 are rigidly connected to a support, such as a ceiling, and the end of the middle spring 9 is with the middle of the horizontal edge of the upper vertical part of the mesh 3.

Use the device as follows.

When performing jumps with forward rotation, the athlete should be placed on the trampoline net facing the insurance device, since during such rotations, falling with forward-facing movement is most likely. When performing jumps with a backward rotation, the athlete must be positioned to perform the exercises on the trampoline net with his back to the insurance device, since in such jumps the fall is most likely with the body moving backward. Performing jumps, the athlete, if unsuccessful, can land with two possible travel options after falling onto the net: mainly with vertical take-off after elastic deformation of the trampoline net; with the athlete taking off in a forward or backward direction beyond the trampoline. In the first case, the horizontal part of the net 3, together with a soft protective element 5 (foam rubber mat), placed on top of the horizontal part of the net 3, absorbs and softens the athlete’s blow upon an unsuccessful landing. In the second case, when the athlete takes off outside the trampoline, the vertical part of the net 3 keeps the athlete from falling to the floor and at the same time softens the blow.

The use of the present invention for the insurance of athletes when performing trampolining in comparison with the well-known one with elastic-elastic properties significantly increases the reliability of insurance by eliminating cases of athlete landing outside the projectile area, while the horizontal part of the fixture mitigates the athlete’s impact upon unsuccessful landing, and the vertical part softens the blow and keeps the athlete from falling to the floor.

In the manufacture of the device, standard used trampoline nets are used, which allows providing insurance for athletes with a small expenditure of material resources. The devices can be manufactured industrially in stationary and collapsible versions.

Claims (3)

Claim 1. A fixture for a trampoline for insuring athletes, comprising a protective net located at an angle to the trampoline web, consisting of two sections fixed through springs in support elements, one of which is made in the form of rods and mounted on the trampoline frame by means of brackets, characterized in that that, in order to increase the safety associated with the trampoline frame, a section of the protective net is placed parallel to the trampoline, and the supporting element of the other section is made in the form of a suspended cable block system, two blocks of which are mounted on an ore, and the third block and the ends of the cable are connected respectively with the middle and the ends of the horizontal edges of the inclined section of the grid. 2. The device according to claim 1, with the fact that an elastic cushion is placed on a horizontal section of the protective net. 3. The device according to claim 1, with the fact that the rods of the horizontal section of the protective net are installed parallel to the trampoline frame at a distance of 10 cm from its lateral sides.
