Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toy, and more particularly to a play mat and a play device. Background Technology

[0002] When providing play areas for infants and toddlers, soft mats are typically laid on the floor for them to crawl and move around on. To prevent infants from climbing off the mats, rigid barriers are currently installed around them. While these barriers effectively prevent infants from crawling directly off the mats, their structural stability is low. When infants climb on them, the barriers are prone to collapsing, potentially causing injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a softer barrier that can form around the mat, both providing some space division and preventing infants from climbing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a playground mat and a playground device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:

[0005] A playground mat includes: a main mat body; an outer mat body connected to the outside of the main mat body and surrounding the main mat body, the outer mat body having a first folding line extending away from the main mat body, and multiple folding lines surrounding the outer mat body; and an elastic ring disposed on the outside of the outer mat body, the elastic ring having a tendency to contract towards the main mat body.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: When using the play mat, it can be used as a single, flat mat or with the outer mat sections erected as a fence. Specifically, when used as a single, flat mat, the outer mat sections are arranged around the outside of the main mat, forming a single mat laid flat on the ground. In this case, the elastic rings on the outer sides of the outer mat sections are limited by the resistance of the outer mat sections to their outward expansion and cannot contract further, allowing infants and young children to move freely on both the main mat and the outer mat sections, with a large range of motion. When it is necessary to create a spatial division on the main mat, the outer mat sections are folded upwards, at which point the elastic rings contract inwards. The shrinking and restoring mechanism allows the outer pad to bend at multiple easy-bend lines, enabling it to fold upwards and remain upright, forming a ring-shaped enclosure around the main pad and dividing the space. When an infant pushes the outer pad outwards on one side, the elastic ring tightens inwards, preventing it from easily tipping over. To flatten the outer pad again, simply push it outwards from multiple directions. By laying the outer pad flat or upright, a enclosure can be directly formed around the main pad without the need for additional external enclosure structures, thus creating a space division and improving the safety of infants.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, an annular cavity is provided in the outer pad, and multiple first fold lines separate the annular cavity into multiple sub-cavities, each of which contains a filling material.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer pad is integrally connected to the outside of the main pad, and a second easy-break line is provided between the outer pad and the main pad.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a storage ring is provided on the outer side of the outer pad, and the elastic ring is located inside the storage ring.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the storage ring is folded downwards and connected to the bottom side of the outer pad.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a connecting buckle is provided on the top side of the main pad.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a connecting buckle is provided on the bottom side of the main pad.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a filling layer is provided in the main pad body.

[0014] An amusement device includes an amusement frame and the aforementioned amusement mat, wherein the amusement frame is disposed on the top or bottom side of the main mat body.

[0015] The technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: toys can be hung on the play frame for the entertainment of infants and young children; when the outer pad is laid flat, the play frame is set on the top side of the main pad; when the outer pad is erected as a fence, the play frame is set on the outside of the outer pad and connected to the bottom side of the main pad, thus further enriching the overall functionality.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the playground frame and the main pad are detachably connected.

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A playground mat includes a main mat body 100, an outer mat body 200, and an elastic ring. The outer mat body 200 is connected to the outside of the main mat body 100 and surrounds the main mat body 100. The outer mat body 200 is provided with a first folding line 210, which extends in a direction away from the main mat body 100. Multiple first folding lines 210 are provided around the outer mat body 200. In practical applications, a sewing thread is provided on the outer mat body 200, which serves as the first folding line 210. When the outer mat body 200 is erected, the outer mat body 200 easily forms a folding line boundary at the sewing thread position. The elastic ring is located on the outside of the outer mat body 200 and has a tendency to contract towards the main mat body 100.

[0029] As described above, when using the play mat, it can be used as a single, flat mat or with the outer mat body 200 erected as a fence. Specifically, when used as a single, flat mat, the outer mat body 200 is arranged around the outside of the main mat body 100, forming a single mat laid flat on the ground. In this case, the elastic ring on the outside of the outer mat body 200 is limited by the resistance of the outer mat body 200 to its outward expansion and cannot contract further. Infants and young children can move around on the main mat body 100 and the outer mat body 200, with a large range of motion. When it is necessary to create a space division on the main mat body 100, the outer mat body 200 is folded upwards. At this time, the elastic ring elastically contracts inwards to restore its original shape, allowing the outer mat body to move freely. The outer pad 200 bends at multiple first easy-bend lines 210, allowing it to remain upright after folding upwards, forming a ring-shaped fence around the main pad 100 and dividing the space. When an infant pushes the outer pad 200 outwards on one side, the elastic ring tightens the outer pad 200 inwards, preventing it from easily tipping over. When the outer pad 200 needs to be flattened again, it can simply be pushed outwards from multiple directions. In this way, by laying the outer pad 200 flat or standing it upright, a fence can be directly formed around the main pad 100 without the need for additional external fence structures, thus creating a space division and improving the safety of infants and young children.

[0030] The outer pad 200 can be filled with material, thus facilitating the creation of a relatively soft structure. Specifically, the outer pad 200 has an annular cavity, and multiple first easy-break lines 210 divide the annular cavity into multiple sub-cavities, each containing a filling material. The outer pad 200 itself can be made of two layers of fabric joined together, forming an annular cavity between them. By using interconnecting structures between the two layers, such as sewing threads as the first easy-break lines 210, the annular cavity can be spatially divided, forming multiple sub-cavities surrounding the main pad 100. The filling material within the annular cavity supports the outer pad 200, creating a soft structure. The filling material can be materials such as cotton or velvet.

[0031] The outer pad 200 and the main pad 100 can be two different structures joined together. However, for ease of production, in this embodiment, the outer pad 200 is integrally connected to the outside of the main pad 100, and a second folding line 220 is provided between the outer pad 200 and the main pad 100. When the outer pad 200 needs to be erected as a fence, it can be bent upwards around the second folding line 220, making operation more convenient. In practical applications, the second folding line 220 can be a sewing thread provided between the main pad 100 and the outer pad 200.

[0032] To facilitate fixing the elastic ring to the outer pad 200, in this embodiment, a storage sleeve 230 is provided on the outer side of the outer pad 200, and the elastic ring is located inside the storage sleeve 230. During production, the elastic ring is threaded through the storage sleeve 230, so that the elastic ring surrounds the outer pad 200. The elastic ring can be made of rubber band, and the two ends of the rubber band are fixed to the two ends of the storage sleeve 230 respectively, or the two ends of the rubber band are connected end to end to form a loop. In this way, the storage sleeve 230 is used to store the elastic ring, which can improve the convenience of production and the overall appearance.

[0033] Furthermore, the storage loop 230 folds downward and connects to the bottom side of the outer pad 200. When the outer pad 200 is laid flat, because the storage loop 230 is located on the bottom side of the outer pad 200, the elastic force of the elastic ring contracting and recovering inward causes the outer pad 200 to tend to fold downward, making the outer pad 200 fit better against the ground; when the outer pad 200 is used vertically, the elastic ring is located on the outside of the outer pad 200, which can better tighten the outer pad 200 inward.

[0034] To facilitate connection to external devices, in this embodiment, connecting straps are provided on the top and bottom sides of the main pad. In practical applications, connecting straps can be provided on the top side of the main pad 100, or on the bottom side of the main pad 100, or on both the top and bottom sides of the main pad 100, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of connecting external devices.

[0035] In order to improve the comfort of using the main pad 100, in this embodiment, a filling layer is provided inside the main pad 100. The filling layer can be a filling material with elastic cushioning effect, such as sponge or rubber.

[0036] An amusement device includes an amusement frame 300 and the aforementioned amusement mat, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the playground frame 300 is disposed on the top or bottom side of the main pad 100.

[0037] In this amusement device, toys can be hung on the play frame 300 for the entertainment of infants and toddlers. When the outer pad 200 is laid flat, the play frame 300 is set on the top side of the main pad 100. When the outer pad 200 is erected as a fence, the play frame 300 is set around the outside of the outer pad 200 and connected to the bottom side of the main pad 100, thus further enriching the overall functionality.

[0038] The playground frame 300 includes multiple arched panels. To facilitate changes in use with the playground mat, in this embodiment, the playground frame 300 and the main mat 100 are detachably connected. For example, buckles connected to connecting straps are pre-installed on the panels. The detachable connection between the playground frame 300 and the main mat 100 is achieved by attaching and detaching the buckles and connecting straps. When switching between using the outer mat 200 flat and upright, the playground frame 300 can be removed from the main mat 100. After switching the usage status of the outer mat 200, the playground frame 300 can be reconnected to the main mat 100, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
