Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a foldable yoga mat, belonging to the field of yoga mat technology. Background Technology
[0002] The primary function of a yoga mat is to provide a workout space for fitness enthusiasts; it's a simple and widely available piece of fitness equipment. Yoga mats are soft, highly elastic, and effectively reduce pain when the body contacts the ground. They are also non-toxic, odorless, non-slip, and have strong rebound properties, making them an ideal choice for yoga practitioners. Yoga mats are typically laid out on the floor and usually rolled up for storage.
[0003] However, this presents two inconveniences. First, during the rolling process, the dirty side that was laid on the ground will come into contact with the clean side used during exercise, causing the clean side to become dirty as well. Second, the rolled-up yoga mat is still quite bulky and difficult to store and carry. In addition, because yoga mats are highly elastic, the ends will warp when the rolled-up mat is unfolded for reuse, making it inconvenient to use again. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable yoga mat.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A foldable yoga mat is characterized by comprising an inner layer, folding units, and an outer layer connected sequentially from left to right. Each folding unit includes a folding layer and a connecting layer. The connecting layer is connected to the end of the folding layer away from the inner layer. Multiple sets of folding units are provided, and the width of each set of folding units increases sequentially from left to right. The folding layers and connecting layers of adjacent folding units are connected to each other. The folding layer of the leftmost folding unit is connected to the inner layer, and the connecting layer of the rightmost folding unit is connected to the outer layer. The connecting surfaces of the inner layer, folding layer, connecting layer, and outer layer are all on the same plane.
[0007] Preferably, in the aforementioned foldable yoga mat, the number of the inner layer and the outer layer is one piece each, and the number of the folding layer and the connecting layer is the same, which is 6-10 pieces each.
[0008] Preferably, in the aforementioned foldable yoga mat, the inner layer may not be provided.
[0009] In the above solution, when no inner layer is set, folding can start directly from the leftmost folding layer when storing and folding, which does not affect the folding effect and can also reduce the material cost used in production.
[0010] Preferably, in the aforementioned foldable yoga mat, the inner layer, folding layer, connecting layer, and outer layer are all provided with friction corner protectors.
[0011] In the above solution, when the yoga mat is laid flat, the friction corners provide friction, preventing the yoga mat from sliding on the ground.
[0012] Preferably, in the aforementioned foldable yoga mat, the materials of the inner layer, folding unit, and outer layer include, but are not limited to, EVA, TPE, and POE.
[0013] In the above solutions, because EVA, TPE and POE materials have a certain degree of elasticity, the yoga mat can be further compressed when folded and stored, reducing the storage space.
[0014] Preferably, in the aforementioned foldable yoga mat, the joints between the folding layer and the connecting layer, the inner layer, and the outer layer are all made of rubber.
[0015] In the above solution, since the joints between the folding layer, the connecting layer, the inner layer, and the outer layer are all made of rubber, the yoga mat will not deform even if it is folded multiple times when stored.
[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0017] This invention, by setting an inner layer, a folding unit, and an outer layer, all of which are on the same plane, allows for better storage of the yoga mat. When rolled up, the yoga mat has a U-shaped structure, making it not only small in size but also easy to carry. In addition, when used, the two ends of the yoga mat will not warp when unfolded, remaining flat on the ground for easy reuse by fitness enthusiasts.
[0018] The EVA, TPE and POE materials used in this invention are relatively soft and provide a better user experience. Furthermore, the joints between the folding layer and the connecting layer, the inner layer and the outer layer are all made of rubber, so the yoga mat will not deform even if it is folded multiple times when stored, and the connection is very strong.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown: This embodiment discloses a foldable yoga mat, which is typically U-shaped when folded. Specifically, it includes an inner layer 101, a folding unit 102, and an outer layer 103 connected sequentially from left to right. The folding unit 102 includes a folding layer 102-1 and a connecting layer 102-2. The connecting layer 102-2 is connected to the end of the folding layer 102-1 away from the inner layer 101. Multiple sets of folding units 102 are provided, with the width of each set increasing sequentially from left to right. When the yoga mat is folded, each outer layer... Each of the layers 103 is slightly higher than the inner layer 101. Thus, when the yoga mat is folded, each layer has a fold opening and a U-shaped structure. The folding layer 102-1 of the adjacent folding unit 102 is connected to the connecting layer 102-2. The folding layer 102-1 of the leftmost folding unit 102 is connected to the inner layer 101, and the connecting layer 102-2 of the rightmost folding unit 102 is connected to the outer layer 103. The connecting surfaces between the inner layer 101, the folding layer 102-1, the connecting layer 102-2, and the outer layer 103 are all on the same plane.
[0027] The width of each folded unit 102 increases sequentially from left to right. The width of the inner layer 101 is less than or equal to the width of the leftmost folded layer. This design is understood as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The width of the middle folding layer 102-1 increases sequentially from left to right, and the width of the corresponding connecting layer 102-2 also increases sequentially from left to right. The purpose of this design is that when folding for storage, starting from the leftmost inner layer 101, the leftmost folding layer 102-1, and the leftmost connecting layer 102-2, the leftmost inner layer 101, folding layer 102-1, and connecting layer 102-2 will be folded to the center because they are folded first. Therefore, the design of the folding unit 102 with the width increasing sequentially from left to right can ensure that the first folded inner layer 101, folding layer 102-1, and connecting layer 102-2 are folded intact in the inner circle, while the outer folding layer 102-1 and connecting layer 102-2 can also well wrap the inner folding layer 102-1 and connecting layer 102-2, further facilitating folding and further reducing the folding space.
[0028] In this embodiment, the number of inner layer 101 and outer layer 103 is 1 piece, and the number of folded layer 102-1 and connecting layer 102-2 is the same, 6-10 pieces each.
[0029] In this implementation, the inner layer 101 can also be omitted. When the inner layer 101 is not set, the folding can start directly from the leftmost folding layer 102-1 when storing and folding. This does not affect the folding effect and can also reduce the material cost used in production.
[0030] In this embodiment, friction corners are provided on the inner layer 101, the folded layer 102-1, the connecting layer 102-2, and the outer layer 103. The friction corners can be grooves formed on the surface of the yoga mat after it is laid flat, so as to provide a certain friction force when the user uses the yoga mat. The inner layer 101, the folded unit 102, and the outer layer 103 are made of EVA, TPE, and POE, and the connection between the folded layer 102-1 and the connecting layer 102-2, the inner layer 101, and the outer layer 103 are all made of rubber.
[0031] Working principle: When storing the yoga mat after exercise, fold it sequentially from the inner layer 101 towards the side of the folding layer 102-1 that is in contact with the ground. If there is no inner layer 101, fold it sequentially from the leftmost side of the folding layer 102-1 until the outer layer 103 is reached. At this point, the folded yoga mat has a U-shaped structure, which is not only small in size but also easy to carry. Similarly, when the yoga mat needs to be used, place it on the ground and lay it flat sequentially from the outer layer 103 until it is flat on the leftmost side of the inner layer 101 or folding layer 102-1. At this point, the yoga mat will not warp at both ends and will remain flat on the ground, making it convenient for fitness enthusiasts to use again.
[0032] The EVA, TPE and POE materials used in this invention are relatively soft and provide a better user experience. Furthermore, the connections between the folding layer 102-1 and the connecting layer 102-2, the inner layer 101 and the outer layer 103 are all made of rubber, so the yoga mat will not deform even if it is folded multiple times when stored.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
