A sound absorbing rebounding device provides a way for a person to practice dribbling a basketball while minimizing sounds and vibrations emanating from the basketball and the device during such practice. The device has a frame, a rebounding surface that mimics or replaces the hard surface on which a user would normally dribble to cause a rebounding effect, and a base to separate or space the rebounding surface from the floor, so that sounds and vibrations during bouncing of the basketball are not transferred to the surface on which the device is resting. The frame shape allows the user to practice dribbling in all different directions around the user's body placed relative to the user's legs, such as a T, an H, or the number 8. The device may be collapsible via hinges placed within its frame that allow the device to be collapsed in varying degrees of compactness.

A suspended target trampoline game includes a trampoline having a trampoline frame which includes a trampoline leg supporting the trampoline frame, and an enclosure. The enclosure includes an enclosure pole connected to the trampoline frame. The enclosure pole supports an enclosure net. An overhanging pole is connected to the enclosure pole. A line is suspended from the overhanging pole. A target is suspended from the line. A detachable connection can be formed between the target and the line. The detachable connection releasably attaches the target to the line. A slack control mechanism can adjust a height of the target. The target can be a ball.

A basketball hoop structure is described herein. The basketball hoop structure includes a frame, a rim, a backboard and a fixing arrangement having an elongated trough. The hoop structure may be fixed onto a support tube of a trampoline. The support tube includes two slits and a locking hole. The trough includes two locking plates and a locking pin. When the basketball hoop structure is fixed to the support tube, the locking plates are inside the slits of the support tube and the locking pin is inside the locking hole.

A trampoline comprising a trampoline mat defining a jumping area and supported via springs from a circumextending support structure, the support structure including a plurality of legs so that the trampoline mat is positioned at a height above ground or flooring; the trampoline being provided with a safety enclosure surrounding the jumping area. The safety enclosure comprises a net supported by a plurality of telescopically extendable poles, each pole when extended comprising a plurality of sections, each successive extended section with distance above the trampoline mat having a cross-section less than that that of the next less extended section whereby the sections nest when telescopically collapsed. The lowermost such section is supported at a position above the ground or flooring by the support structure.

This presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a bi-directional toy configured to be used as a trampoline and further to be used, upon turning said bi-directional toy upside down, in at least one of the following functions: a playpen-like device, a water pool, and a sphere pool. The toy comprises at least a frame with a plurality of legs configured to elevate the trampoline from a base surface; a bounce mat configured to allow usage of the toy as a trampoline; and the encircling member configured to be attached to the legs for creating a delimited area for use in at least one of the functions.

A trampoline has a trampoline frame that includes trampoline frame legs for supporting the trampoline frame, a trampoline bed extended across the trampoline frame for allowing users to rebound on the trampoline bed, a vertical frame member connected to a horizontal frame member, and a trampoline frame joint connecting the vertical frame member to the horizontal frame member. The trampoline frame joint has a joint sleeve formed as a strip. The joint sleeve is fitted to the trampoline frame joint. The horizontal frame member is connected to the trampoline frame joint. The joint sleeve overlies an opening rim edge of the horizontal member. The joint sleeve is welded to the horizontal member and the vertical member is connected to the trampoline frame joint. The vertical member is welded to the horizontal member.
