Embodiment Construction

[0017] These figures show the results of comparative measurements between open cell and closed cell mats. These results are available in test report No. 444’254 of 27.11.2006 of the Swiss Federal Laboratory for Materials Testing and Research.

[0018] The springback effect of the fitness and therapy mat as defined in claim 1 is not progressive and, under light loads, almost proportional. The omission of an outer shell firmly attached to the soft elastic core reduces the transmission of horizontal forces that, in existing commercial mats, are transmitted by a strong, tear-resistant protective outer shell. The open-cell structure of the foam, which is achieved through the use of special materials, detectably minimizes the transmission of horizontal forces. Seen through the cleanly cut mat, on the treading and lateral surfaces, the open structure also extends to the outside, whereby the open structure allows air exchange from the inside to the outside. The spring action can be ...

Abstract

The invention proposes a fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking made of foamed material for sport, gymnastic, and therapeutic purposes. The foamed material used has an open cell structure. Thus the elasticity of the foamed material structure alone determines the spring action of the mat when the mat is under stress. The spring action of the fitness and therapy mat approaches the ideal spring, and the resilience shows minimal damping.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] The use of fitness and gymnastics mats in the field of sports is well established. In kindergartens and after-school care clubs they are used for games, in school sports, but also in gymnastics clubs and sports clubs, they are indispensable for all floor exercises. This mat is designed to avoid contact with cool, hard floor surfaces. The most important manufacturers include Airex, Bremshey, Merida and Movivit. In Germany, Thieme-Sport is an important manufacturer. These pads do not have any covering. Therefore, their surfaces have to be designed to be strong, easy to clean, hygienic and skin friendly. Other important features are the non-slip nature of the underside of the mat and the low overall weight of the mat. There are also many different types of foam pads used in physical therapy.
