Pneumatic jogging platform
First Claim
1. A pneumatically sustained trampoline jogging apparatus comprising a flat rigid base having a peripheral edge;
- a continuous flexible covering stretching horizontally above said base, downwardly (at outward angle) beyond said peripheral edge and back under said base;
means cinching the margin of said covering under said base;
pneumatic tubing means positioned between the top surface of the base and the covering inwardly of said peripheral edge; and
inflation valve means in said tubing means whereby on inflation of said pneumatic tubing means said flexible covering forms a pneumatically sustained surface of a trampoline jogging apparatus.

Abstract
My pneumatically sustained, flexible exercise surface-and-platform, which I call a "Trampol-air," initially designed for foot-ease along with all the benefits of exercising in any jogging-like manner on a flexing-resilient mini-trampoline-like surface, consists of a flat, flexible exercise surface supported by pneumatic tubing located underneath the outer edge (and, optionally, beneath the surface across the center area) of the exercise surface. The surface consists of a sheet of woven polypropoline (or other suitable material) which covers the pneumatic tubing and fastens at the back of the exercise platform'"'"'s base (which extends out several inches beyond the exercise surface). The base may be made of a sturdy substance, such as one-inch thick plywood, or of thinner metal with a one-inch upward-curving circular lip around the edge. On the underneath-area of the base there is an access hole (or doors) large enough for putting air into the pneumatic tubing.
