Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of yoga mat technology, and more particularly to a yoga mat. Background Technology

[0002] Yoga mats are specially designed for yoga practitioners, primarily used to prevent slipping and falling during asana practice, protecting the practitioner's body from injury. In yoga mat manufacturing, physical foaming and chemical foaming are two common foaming techniques. Physical foaming offers advantages such as being environmentally friendly and non-toxic, having low overall cost, and being non-toxic and recyclable. With consumers placing increasing emphasis on health and environmental protection, physical foaming is gradually becoming the mainstream technology in the yoga mat industry.

[0003] During the physical foaming process, both the top and bottom surfaces of the material are unfoamed, resulting in a relatively high overall hardness. Removing this unfoamed material during yoga mat manufacturing would be wasteful, so a comprehensive consideration is necessary. Physically foamed, one-piece molded yoga mats are quite soft. However, a softer mat cannot provide sufficient support, potentially leading to foot wobbling, improper form, and insufficient impact distribution when knees, elbows, or other joints come into contact with the mat. There is also a risk of tearing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the strength of a yoga mat while reducing material waste, this application provides a yoga mat.

[0005] The yoga mat provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A yoga mat includes a first pad, a second pad, and a reinforcing layer disposed between the first pad and the second pad. The reinforcing layer is integrally formed with the first pad and / or the second pad. The first pad, the second pad, and the reinforcing layer are bonded together by a hot-pressing process. The reinforcing layer is the portion of the material with higher hardness on both the upper and lower surfaces after physical foaming. The hardness of the first pad and the second pad is lower than that of the reinforcing layer.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, since a reinforcing layer is set in pad one and pad two, and the reinforcing layer is integrally made with pad one and / or pad two, the setting of the reinforcing layer improves the strength and tear resistance of the yoga mat. The reinforcing layer is the part with greater hardness on the upper and lower surfaces after the material is physically foamed, which can reduce material waste.

[0008] Optionally, the thickness of the reinforcing layer is 1-2 mm.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the strength of the yoga mat is improved without affecting the usability of the yoga mat, due to the reinforcement thickness of 1-2mm.

[0010] Optionally, the thickness of both the first and second pads is 2-10mm, and the overall thickness of the yoga mat is 5-20mm.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the thickness of the first and second pads is 2-10mm, and the overall thickness of the yoga mat is 5-20mm, the stability of the yoga mat is good while ensuring the cushioning and shock absorption function of the yoga mat for practitioners, thereby reducing the probability of practitioners losing their balance on the yoga mat.

[0012] Optionally, the surface of the first pad away from the reinforcing layer is uniformly distributed with uneven texture, and the surface of the second pad away from the reinforcing layer is also uniformly distributed with uneven texture.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, since the surfaces of pad one and pad two far from the reinforcing layer are evenly distributed with concave and convex textures, it helps to improve the grip and anti-slip performance of the yoga mat, thereby reducing the probability of the yoga mat slipping due to sweat or a smooth surface, and reducing the risk of muscle strain for practitioners.

[0014] Optionally, the yoga mat has ventilation holes that vertically penetrate the first mat layer, the second mat layer, and the reinforcing layer.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, ventilation holes are set in the yoga mat. The ventilation holes vertically penetrate the first mat layer, the second mat layer, and the reinforcing layer. The setting of ventilation holes increases air circulation, allowing sweat on the surface of the yoga mat to evaporate quickly, keeping the surface of the yoga mat dry, and indirectly improving the anti-slip performance of the yoga mat.

[0016] Optionally, the yoga mat provided in this application further includes a sealing strip, which is evenly arranged around the perimeter of the yoga mat and covers the seam between the reinforcing layer and the first and second pads to form a sealing surface.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a sealing strip is set at the joint between the reinforcing layer and the first and second padding layers. The sealing strip is evenly arranged around the yoga mat to form a sealing surface, which helps to reduce the probability of sweat and cleaning liquid seeping into the interior of the yoga mat, thereby extending the service life of the yoga mat.

[0018] Optionally, the width of the sealing strip is the same as the thickness of the yoga mat, and the end face of the sealing strip away from the sealing surface is curved.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, since the width of the sealing strip is the same as the thickness of the yoga mat and the outer side of the sealing strip is curved, the connection between the edges of the yoga mat and the upper and lower surfaces is smoother, which can reduce wear and also help improve the aesthetics of the yoga mat.

[0020] Optionally, the first mat layer has a first magnet at one end near the short side of the yoga mat, and the second mat layer has a second magnet that attracts the first magnet when the yoga mat is folded up.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a first magnetic block is set at one end of the first layer near the short side of the yoga mat, and a second magnetic block that attracts the first magnetic block is set in the second layer, so that the yoga mat can be fixed into a cylindrical shape by the first and second magnetic blocks when it is folded up, and it is not easy to loosen.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. A yoga mat, comprising a first layer, a second layer, and a reinforcing layer, wherein the reinforcing layer has a higher hardness and is located between the first and second layers, thereby improving the strength and tear resistance of the yoga mat; and wherein the reinforcing layer is the part with higher hardness on the upper and lower surfaces after physical foaming of the material, thereby reducing material waste.

[0024] 2. By setting textured surfaces on the first and second mats away from the reinforcing layer, the yoga mat's grip and anti-slip properties are improved, thereby reducing the probability of the yoga mat slipping due to sweat or a slippery surface, and reducing the risk of muscle strain for practitioners.

[0025] 3. By incorporating ventilation holes that vertically penetrate the first, second, and reinforcing layers of the yoga mat, airflow is increased, allowing sweat on the mat surface to evaporate quickly and keeping it dry, thus improving the mat's anti-slip properties.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in this application can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating direction are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity. In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0032] This application discloses a yoga mat. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The yoga mat consists of three layers from top to bottom: layer 1, reinforcing layer 3, and layer 2. Reinforcing layer 3 is integrally formed with layer 1, while layer 2 and reinforcing layer 3 are bonded together using a hot-pressing process. Layers 1 and 2 are both 2-10mm thick, reinforcing layer 3 is 1-2mm thick, and the overall thickness of the yoga mat is 5-20mm. Reinforcing layer 3 is the portion with higher surface hardness after physical foaming of the material. The hardness of layers 1 and 2 is lower than that of reinforcing layer 3. The inclusion of reinforcing layer 3 improves the overall strength and tear resistance of the yoga mat while also saving material.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The yoga mat has ventilation holes 4, which vertically penetrate the first layer 1, the second layer 2, and the reinforcing layer 3. The upper surface of the first layer 1 and the lower surface of the second layer 2 are evenly distributed with raised textures 5. In this embodiment, the raised textures 5 are regular wavy textures. The raised textures 5 improve the grip and anti-slip performance of the yoga mat. The ventilation holes 4 allow sweat on the surface of the yoga mat to evaporate quickly.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 The sealing strip 6 is evenly arranged around the yoga mat with adhesive. The width of the sealing strip 6 is the same as the thickness of the yoga mat. The outer side of the sealing strip 6 is curved. The sealing strip 6 covers the seam between the reinforcing layer 3 and the pad layer 1 and pad layer 2 and forms the sealing surface 7. The sealing surface 7 corresponds to the sides of the yoga mat. It can prevent sweat and cleaning liquid from seeping into the interior of the yoga mat and also helps to improve the aesthetics of the yoga mat.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The first layer 1 has a first mounting groove 11 at one end near the short side of the yoga mat, and a first magnet 12 is arranged in the first mounting groove 11. Velcro 8 is provided on the outside of the first magnet 12 in the first layer 1 for fixing the first magnet 12. The second layer 2 has a second mounting groove 21, and a second magnet 22 is arranged in the second mounting groove 21. Velcro 8 is provided on the outside of the second magnet 22 in the second layer 2 for fixing the second magnet 22. When the yoga mat is in the folded state, the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 22 are arranged opposite each other and can attract each other, keeping the yoga mat in a cylindrical shape and preventing it from becoming loose.

[0036] The implementation principle of a yoga mat according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: by setting a pad layer 1, a pad layer 2 and a reinforcing layer 3 in the yoga mat, the reinforcing layer 3 is integrally made with the pad layer 1. The reinforcing layer 3 has a higher hardness and is located between the pad layer 1 and the pad layer 2, which improves the strength and tear resistance of the yoga mat. At the same time, the reinforcing layer 3 is the part with higher hardness on the upper and lower surfaces after the material is physically foamed, which can reduce material waste.

[0037] Alternatively, reinforcing layer 3 can be integrally formed with padding layer 2, in which case padding layer 1 and reinforcing layer 3 are bonded together by hot pressing. Alternatively, reinforcing layer 3 can be divided into two layers: the upper reinforcing layer 3 is integrally formed with padding layer 1, and the lower reinforcing layer 3 is integrally formed with padding layer 2, with the upper and lower reinforcing layers bonded together by hot pressing.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
