Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mouse pad, and more particularly to a mouse pad that has support and is highly breathable. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional mouse pads are primarily made of foam rubber with a fabric layer laid on top for contact with the mouse. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] However, foam rubber has poor breathability, and when used for a long time, sweat and moisture easily accumulate on the arms and are difficult to expel, resulting in an uncomfortable sticky feeling. Furthermore, after washing, moisture seeps into the foam rubber, making it difficult to dry, resulting in mold and unpleasant odors.

[0004] The elasticity of conventional mouse pads is primarily derived from foam rubber, but when pressed for long periods of time, they can become permanently deformed or dented due to elastic fatigue, affecting the smoothness of mouse operation. Furthermore, the materials used in conventional mouse pads lack flexibility and resilience, making them prone to deformation when pulled. Furthermore, they lack responsiveness when pressed by hand, failing to meet the operability requirements of eSports.

[0005] Therefore, the present inventors believed that the above drawbacks could be improved, and after extensive research, they came up with the present invention, which effectively improves the above issues through rational design.

[0006] The present invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a mouse pad with support functions that has excellent breathability, moisture resistance, uniform rebound support performance, is easy to clean, and dries quickly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following measures. A mouse pad with support function according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a three-dimensional woven fabric having a first outer layer, a middle layer, and a second outer layer spaced apart from one another. A plurality of first elastic yarns (4) are connected to the first outer layer and the middle layer so as to be stretched obliquely, respectively, to form first support spaces. A plurality of second elastic yarns are connected to the middle layer and the second outer layer so as to be stretched obliquely in the opposite direction, respectively, and are arranged in a mirror image of the first elastic yarns, forming second support spaces (51), providing uniform rebound support. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The present invention is configured as described above and therefore has the following advantages. Specifically, the present invention mainly provides a first support space and a second support space between the first outer layer and the middle layer, and between the middle layer and the second outer layer, respectively, which provide good support function. The first outer layer, the middle layer, and the second outer layer have vents communicating with the first support space and the second support space, which effectively conducts moisture and air, provides excellent breathability and dryness, and makes cleaning and drying easy.

[0009] At least the following points will become clear from the description and drawings to be described later. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0012] 1 is a schematic diagram showing a mouse pad with support function according to one embodiment of the present invention. The mouse pad with support function according to the present invention comprises a three-dimensional textile 100, which includes a first outer layer 1, a middle layer 2, a second outer layer 3, a plurality of first elastic threads 4, and a plurality of second elastic threads 5. The first outer layer 1 has a contact surface 11 for operating a mouse.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first outer layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2, as well as the intermediate layer 2 and the second outer layer 3, are disposed at intervals from each other, with the intermediate layer 2 positioned below the first outer layer 1 and the second outer layer 3 positioned below the intermediate layer 2. A plurality of first elastic yarns 4 are connected to the first outer layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2 so as to be sewn together and integrally formed. One end of each first elastic yarn 4 is connected to the intermediate layer 2 and extends at a first inclination angle α with respect to the plane normal Z of the intermediate layer 2, and the other end is connected to the first outer layer 1. The first inclination angle α is the angle between a straight line L1 connecting both ends of the first elastic yarn 4 and the plane normal Z of the intermediate layer 2. The plane normal Z is a straight line perpendicular to the intermediate layer 2. Each first elastic thread 4 is abutted between the first outer layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2 due to its own elastic recovery force, and the gaps between each first elastic thread 4 collectively form a first support space 41.

[0014] The multiple second elastic threads 5 are connected so as to be sewn integrally between the intermediate layer 2 and the second outer layer 3. One end of each second elastic thread 5 is connected to the intermediate layer 2 and stretched so as to form a second inclination angle β with respect to the plane normal Z of the intermediate layer 2, and the other end is connected to the second outer layer 3. The second inclination angle β is the included angle between a straight line L2 connecting both ends of the second elastic thread 5 and the plane normal Z of the intermediate layer 2. Each second elastic thread 5 is abutted between the intermediate layer 2 and the second outer layer 3 due to its own elastic recovery force, and the gaps between each second elastic thread 5 collectively form second support spaces 51.

[0015] In this embodiment, the first elastic yarns 4 and the second elastic yarns 5 are both inclined, providing a wide elastic deformation space. The second inclination angle β and the first inclination angle α are inclined in opposite directions, resulting in a mirror-image arrangement of the second elastic yarns 5 and the first elastic yarns 4. This creates a cross-support structure, which generates a spring effect that disperses force when subjected to force. When subjected to force, the three-dimensional woven fabric 100 stretches in the direction of the elastic stress, and when the force is reduced, it returns to its original three-dimensional state. The smaller the first inclination angle α and the second inclination angle β, the larger the deformation space. In this invention, the first inclination angle α and the second inclination angle β are both less than 90°, preferably between 20° and 80°, to provide both support and recovery elasticity.

[0016] 3, when a vertical external force is applied, the first elastic yarns 4 and the second elastic yarns 5, which are arranged at an angle, deform in opposite directions, and the horizontal components of the forces generated during the deformation process cancel each other out, maintaining the relative positions of the first outer layer 1, the middle layer 2, and the second outer layer 3. When the vertical external force is released, the elastic recovery forces of the first elastic yarns 4 and the second elastic yarns 5 push the first outer layer 1 and the middle layer 2 upward in a uniform rebounding motion, allowing the three-dimensional fabric to effectively recover its original shape and no longer deform.

[0017] 4 and 5, when a lateral external force is applied, the first outer layer 1 and the second outer layer 3 are stretched in the lateral direction by the action of the lateral external force, and at this time, each of the first elastic yarns 4 and each of the second elastic yarns 5 is deformed so as to extend along its inclined direction. When the lateral external force is released, each of the first elastic yarns and each of the second elastic yarns is deformed so as to be stretched in the opposite direction due to its own elastic recovery force, and the first outer layer 1, the intermediate layer 2, and the second outer layer 3 are all pulled back toward the center and uniformly retract to return to their original state, without deformation, and have good resilience.

[0018] More specifically, multiple ventilation holes (not shown) are provided on the surfaces of the first outer layer 1, the intermediate layer 2, and the second outer layer 3. The ventilation holes (not shown) communicate with the first support space 41 and the second support space 51, forming multiple channels for conducting moisture and air. The three-dimensional structure formed by the above-mentioned components is open to the outside. With prolonged use, sweat and moisture from the arms are guided to dissipate to the outside through the ventilation holes (not shown), the first support space 41, and the second support space 51, reducing stickiness on the arms and providing good breathability. Furthermore, the three-dimensional fabric 100 is easy to clean and quick to dry, whether by hand washing, machine washing, or dry cleaning. Unwanted moisture splashed onto the three-dimensional fabric 100 is quickly expelled through the ventilation holes, the first support space 41, and the second support space 51, facilitating drying and preventing mold and unpleasant odors (see Figures 6 and 7).

[0019] The materials of the first outer layer 1, the intermediate layer 2, and the second outer layer 3 are all made of polyester polymer fibers and elastic fibers that are gentle on the skin, highly breathable, and have a certain degree of elasticity. The materials of the first elastic yarn 4 and the second elastic yarn 5 both contain polyester fibers that have good elasticity and tensile strength.

[0020] Specifically, the first outer layer 1, the middle layer 2, and the second outer layer 3 are made of 50 denier / 144 polyester polymer fiber (i.e., a polyester multifilament yarn having a linear density of 50 denier and composed of 144 monofilaments) and polyurethane fiber, which provides the elasticity and stretchability of the fabric. The first elastic yarn 4 and the second elastic yarn 5 are made of 50 denier / monofilament semi-dull polyester fiber (i.e., a linear density of approximately 50 denier, composed of monofilaments, and the surface of the fiber exhibits a semi-dull texture between bright and full-dull). In this embodiment, the overall weight percentage of the three-dimensional woven fabric 100 is preferably 63% 50 denier / 144 polyester polymer fiber, 14% polyurethane fiber, and 23% 50 denier / monofilament semi-dull polyester fiber. The entire manufacturing process of the three-dimensional fabric 100 mainly includes preparing yarns according to weight ratio, warping the yarns, and warp-knitting the yarns, followed by drying and dehydration, and then shaping with high-temperature steam. The three-dimensional fabric manufactured by the above manufacturing process maintains a constant elongation in the warp and weft directions, is not deformed, can withstand high tensile force, and has a smooth and comfortable surface.

[0021] The present invention further includes a non-slip base layer 6. The non-slip base layer 6 is attached to one side of the second outer layer, spaced apart from the second support space, and is made of silica gel and has a multi-layered three-dimensional pattern formed by screen coating. The non-slip base layer 6 provides excellent anti-slip performance when in contact with the tabletop or other flat surfaces, effectively preventing the mouse pad from shifting during use and improving stability and operation accuracy.

[0022] To sum up, the mouse pad with support function according to the present invention achieves the following improvements: First, it has high breathability. The first outer layer, intermediate layer, and second outer layer of the present invention have multiple ventilation holes on their surfaces, and the first and second support spaces formed by the multiple first elastic threads and multiple second elastic threads have multiple gaps within them. The ventilation holes are connected to the first and second support spaces, and multiple channels are formed that communicate with the outside, guiding moisture and air to efficiently dissipate at high speed, keeping the areas in contact with the hands dry and comfortable. Second, it has excellent rebound support performance. The first elastic yarn and the second elastic yarn are respectively arranged at an angle and in a mirror image arrangement, forming a cross-shaped support structure that provides stable, multi-directional elastic support. The three-dimensional fabric is elastically deformable when subjected to pressure, and can effectively recover its original shape regardless of whether the three-dimensional fabric is subjected to vertical or horizontal force, and is resistant to deformation. Third, it is easy to clean and dries quickly. The open three-dimensional structure, which is made up of multiple vents, a first support space, and a second support space, allows water to flow and be quickly discharged to prevent accumulation, making it easy to dry and preventing mold and unpleasant odors.

[0023] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like are also included within the scope of the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention.
