Abstract
A trampoline pad assembly for securement to a trampoline of the type including a rebound surface suspended by springs from an elevated ring includes an annular top wall and an annular bottom wall secured together at congruent inner and outer boundaries to form an annular enclosure defining an interior pocket. At least one opening is formed in the bottom wall, which opening extends into the pocket. Resilient material is introduced into the pocket through the opening and an annular flexible skirt is secured to top wall adjacent to the outer boundary thereof so that the skirt lies flat against the top wall. The skirt has a free edge which is shorter than the wall outer boundary and the skirt is foldable around those outer boundaries so that the skirt overlaps the opening thereby enclosing the resilient material within the pocket and secures the pad assembly to the ring.
