Claims
1. The Balance Pad Assembly is an accessory which is attached to
the mini trampoline apparatus using multiple durable nylon belts
with male and female quick connect/quick release fasteners on each
end.
2. The durable nylon belts that are pre-threaded through the
Balance Pad are then wrapped around the trampoline net and snapped
together underneath the net which allows the Balance Pad to rest on
the top surface of the trampoline usable net.
3. The attached Balance Pad Assembly spreads the person's weight
evenly across the trampoline surface and will help the person
maintain a center of gravity while exercising which will produce
better physical results.
4. The attached Balance Pad Assembly becomes a balanced shock
absorber and will help strengthen and help protect sore or painful
joints in the legs, hip and back against awkward positions while
exercising.
5. There are some Balance Pad size and color variations to appeal
to gender and age, as well as play and skilled usage.
