Connector for trampoline safety fence post

Abstract

A connector for trampoline safety fence post includes a short supporting tube and a short connecting tube fixedly and parallelly connected to one side of the supporting tube. The supporting tube is fixedly connected at an upper end to a lower side of one of many frame pipes forming a trampoline frame, so that a corresponding tube-connecting end of one trampoline supporting leg may be upward inserted into a lower open end of the supporting tube, and a tube-connecting end of the safety fence poet may be downward inserted into an upper open end of the connecting tube. The connectors enable the trampoline supporting legs and the safety fence posts to be quickly connected to the frame supporting a jumping bed of the trampoline and ensure an enhanced structural strength at the connected points.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A connector for connecting a safety fence post to a trampoline, said trampoline including a frame formed from a plurality of sequentially connected frame pipes to support a jumping bed thereon, and being supported on supporting legs, said connector comprising: 
 a short supporting tube fixedly connected to and downward extended from a lower side of one said frame pipe of said trampoline frame for a corresponding tube-connecting end of one said supporting leg to insert into a lower open end of said supporting tube; and    a short connecting tube fixedly parallelly connected to one side of said short supporting tube for a corresponding tube-connecting end of said safety fence post to insert into an upper open end of said connecting tube.    
     
     
         2 . The connector for connecting a safety fence post to a trampoline as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said short supporting tube and said short connecting tube fixedly connected to each other are hollow tubes having a predetermined diameter, and said tube-connecting ends of said supporting legs and said safety fence post having reduced diameters adapted to tightly fit in said open ends of said supporting tube and said connecting tube, respectively.  
     
     
         3 . The connector for connecting a safety fence post to a trampoline as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said short supporting tube is welded to said frame pipe and said short connecting tube.  
     
     
         4 . The connector for connecting a safety fence post to a trampoline as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said short supporting tube is welded to said frame pipe and said short connecting tube.
