If the enclosure barrieropening is overlapped, the opening point is considere

31、d themidsection of the overlap.6. Performance Requirements6.1 Barrier Impact and Enclosure Support Pole (Frame)Impact TestsPerformance Requirement Test #1 requires fourimpacts of the maximum specified user weight limit applied asa dynamic side load according to the following procedures.Two of the im

32、pacts are to be directed at a point on the barriermidway between the support poles (frame) at a height mid-distance between the top and bottom of the enclosure barrier.The other two impacts are to be applied against the enclosuresupport poles (frame) at a height mid-distance between the topand botto

33、m of the enclosure barrier. The impacts against theenclosure barrier and barrier attachment system shall notproduce permanent deformation, tearing or breaking of anycomponent of the enclosure barrier and barrier attachmentsystem. The impacts against the enclosure support (frame)shall not produce per

34、manent deformation, tearing or breakingof any component of the enclosure support (frame) or thesupport (frame) attachment hardware. If the measured angle ofan enclosure pole is greater than 10 from its original measuredangle after the test, it shall be interpreted as a permanentdeformation.6.1.1 Pro

35、cedure for Performance Requirement Test #1The load shall be of mass equal to the maximum specified userweight limit. It should be composed of a bag approximately 16in. (410 mm) in diameter by 36 in. (910 mm) tall, such as alarge duffel bag filled with loosely compacted material such assand. Alternat

36、ing small bags of sand and wood chips can beused to fill the bag. The center of gravity of the duffel bagshould be at the mid-point (approximately 18 in. (460 mm)from the bottom). The dynamic side load shall be applied in apendulum motion against the enclosure barrier at the specifiedpoints (see 6.1

37、).6.1.1.1 Secure one side of the trampoline so that thetrampoline cannot be moved or cannot slide along the surfaceon which the trampoline rests.6.1.1.2 Suspend the bag (load) on a chain so that thedistance to the top of the chain (pivot point) to the center ofmass of the bag is 120 in. (3.0 m).6.1.

38、1.3 Position the bag (load) so that it hangs against theside of the enclosure barrier at a point midway between theenclosure support poles (frame) at a height mid-distancebetween the top and bottom of the enclosure barrier. The pivotpoint of the pendulum created by the load and chain should bepositi

39、oned directly above the top of the enclosure barrier. Thecontact point of the bag (load) to the enclosure barrier shouldbe on the opposite side of the enclosure from the point thatsecures the trampoline from movement.(1) Measure and record the angle of the enclosure polenearest the intended barrier

40、impact point, at the midpointbetween the top of the enclosure pole and the uppermost pointof connection to the trampoline frame with an angle finderdesigned for use on tubular/round surfaces. (If there are 2enclosure poles at the same distance from the intended barrierimpact point, select one as the

41、 test subject). Two measurementsat this midpoint should be recorded. One measurement to betaken on the surface of the enclosure pole furthest from thecenter of the trampoline jump mat, and another measurement tobe taken 90 around the circumference of the enclosure polefrom the first measurement.6.1.

42、1.4 Pull the bag (load) back until the load support chainis at a 30 angle.6.1.1.5 Release the bag (load) into the enclosure barrier.(1) Re-measure the angles described in 6.1.1.3 (1) andrecord.6.1.1.6 Repeat the test in 6.1.1.16.1.1.5 (1).6.1.1.7 Repeat the set up in 6.1.1.1 and 6.1.1.2 in prepara-t

43、ion for impact tests against the enclosure support poles (frame)at a height mid-distance between the top and bottom of thesupport pole. Position the bag (load) so that it hangs against theenclosure support pole (frame) on the inside of the enclosure.The pivot point of the pendulum created by the loa

44、d and chainshould be positioned directly above the top of the enclosuresupport pole (frame). The contact point of the bag (load) shouldbe on the opposite side of the enclosure from the secured pointestablished in 6.1.1.1.(1) Measure and record the angle of the enclosure pole tobe impacted at the mid

45、point between the top of the enclosurepole and the uppermost point of connection to the trampolineframe with an angle finder designed for use on tubular/roundsurfaces. Two measurements at this midpoint should be re-corded. One measurement to be taken on the surface of theenclosure pole furthest from

46、 the center of the trampoline jumpmat, and another measurement to be taken 90 around thecircumference of the enclosure pole from the first measure-ment.6.1.1.8 Pull the bag (load) back until the load support chainis at a 30 angle relative to vertical.6.1.1.9 Release the bag (load) into the enclosure

47、 supportpole (frame).(1) Re-measure the angles described in 6.1.1.7 (1) andrecord.6.1.1.10 Repeat the test in 6.1.1.66.1.1.9 (1).NOTE 1The results should meet or exceed the guidelines set forth inPerformance Requirement Test #1.6.1.1.11 Repeat the set-up in 6.1.1.1 and 6.1.1.2 in prepa-ration for im

48、pact tests against the enclosure opening at a heightF 2225 09a3as close as possible to the mid-distance between the top andbottom of the opening. Position the bag (load) so that it hangsagainst the enclosure opening on the inside of the enclosure.The pivot point of the pendulum created by the load a

49、nd chainshould be positioned directly above the top of the enclosureopening. The contact point of the bag (load) should be on theopposite side of the enclosure from the secured point estab-lished in 6.1.1.1.6.1.1.12 Pull the bag (load) back until the load support chainis at a 30 angle relative to vertical.6.1.1.13 Release the bag (load) into the enclosure opening.6.1.1.14 Repeat the preparation for impact tests as estab-lished in 6.1.1.11, except the position of the bag (load) is 8 in.to the right, as measured from the inside of the enclosure, fromthe
