Abstract (en)
A bouncy cushion (1) of the kind that comprises an inflatable casing comprising a circumferential wall (6a,6b,6c,6d), an upper side wall (4;13) and a lower side wall (5;14), in which the upper side wall (4;13) is connected to the lower side wall (5;14) by means of a number of flexible threads or strips (10;12), is safer to use than conventional bouncy cushions. A part of the air at a compression site cannot be displaced as the threads do not allow creation of enough space for this air, and the compression process is partly prevented, which provides the desired safety. The bouncy cushion can be used for e.g. springboard in connection with artistic gymnastics, as trampoline, as gymnastic equipment for e.g. promoting motor behaviour and as air mattress for sleeping on. The thickness, air pressure and number and distribution of flexible threads in the bouncy cushion are chosen in relation to the desired object.
