Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] The invention is explained in more detail below by way of example by means of the appended drawings. Here are shown:

[0017] FIG. 1 an exploded view of a device for fastening a holding bar on a trampoline;

[0018] FIG. 2 the device of fastening a holding bar from FIG. 1 in a state mounted on the trampoline;

[0019] FIG. 3 a depiction of a trampoline frame, on which the device of FIG. 1 is mounted.

[0020] FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a device 1 for fastening a holding bar 4 on a trampoline 2. The trampoline 2 comprises an annular frame 3, which can be designed e.g. to be round, rectangular or polygonal and which is provided with several feet 5. The frame 3 including the feet 5 is here produced from a tubular material. It can be produced e.g. from a round tube or a 4-edged tube.

[0021] In this exemplary embodiment, the device 1 for fastening the holding bar 4 on the trampoline 2 comprises a two-part housing 6. Each of the housing parts 7 consists of a half-shell-shaped element, which has a receiver 10 for the holding bar 4 on an inside and a receiver 11 for the foot 5 of the trampoline 2. The shape of the receivers 10, 11 is adjusted to the cross-section of the holding bar 4 and the foot 5, such that the holding bar 4 and the foot 5 are received substantially without clearance in it. In this exemplary embodiment, the receivers 10, 11 are formed to be gutter-shaped and, in the assembled state, have a round cross-section.

[0022] In order to fasten the holding bar 4 on the trampoline 2, the two housing parts 7 are screwed to each other. To do so, screws 8 and corresponding nuts 9 are provided, wherein the screws 8 are plugged through several openings provided in the housing parts 7.

[0023] The fastening device 1 according to the invention further comprises two abutments 12 which, in the mounted state of the device 1, abut on an inside of the annular frame 3 of the trampoline 2. Said abutments 12 are respectively fastened on a plate-shaped element 14, which is mounted on the outside of the housing parts 7. In the plate-shaped elements 14, elongated holes are provided, such that the distance of the abutments 12 to the frame 3 can be set. These same screws 8 and nuts 9 which are also used for tensioning the housing parts 7 serve to fasten the abutments 12 on the housing 6.

[0024] In this exemplary embodiment, the holding bar 4 comprises a foot part 17 into which a separate bar 18 can be inserted perpendicularly with lateral holes applied at various heights. A horizontally attached handle 19 is on the bar 18 on the upper end. A splint 16 is provided for securing the perpendicular bar 18 at the desired height on the foot part 17, which is plugged through an opening in the holding bar 4 and through one of the lateral openings in the perpendicular bar 18.

[0025] To reduce the clearance between the foot part 17 and the perpendicular bar 18, a slot-shaped opening is applied on the upper end of the foot part 17. A ferrule sits above it on the head of the foot part 17. This is sealed by the splint 16 after inserting the perpendicular bar 18 and fixing the height. The upper end of the holding bar 4 is pressed fixedly onto the perpendicular bar by the pressing pressure and thus prevents lateral clearance of the perpendicular bar inside the foot part 17 of the holding bar 4.

[0026] With trampolines 2 with a different leg shape or holding bars 4 with another cross-section or profile, the receivers 10, 11 are correspondingly adjusted to the respective profile.

[0027] The mounting device according to the invention makes it possible for a user of the trampoline to quickly and easily fasten a holding bar 4 on the trampoline 2.

[0028] FIG. 2 shows the fastening device 1 from FIG. 1 which is mounted on a trampoline frame 3. In this state, the two housing parts 7 are screwed to each other, and the two abutments 12 abut on the inside of the frame 3 next to each other in parallel.

[0029] FIG. 3 again shows a total view of a trampoline frame 3 with a holding bar 4 mounted thereon.
