The upper surface of the mat body has an inner polygonal sliding area corresponding to the shape of the periphery of the mat body. An outer polygonal anti-slip area is provided around the outer periphery of the inner polygonal sliding area. Accordingly, through the polygonal design of the mat body, the inner polygonal sliding area provides a variety of linear motion strokes, thereby providing users with diverse exercise options and allowing adjustment of exercise intensity to meet different needs, which helps to increase the variability of exercise use. Furthermore, the outer periphery of the mat body can be used for alignment and splicing, allowing multiple mat bodies to be quickly and neatly spliced ​​together to form a large floor mat. Each mat body can also clearly define the training space for each person, improving the practicality and convenience of the structure.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sports mat with multiple ranges of motion, and more particularly to a polygonal mat with at least a pentagonal shape, which utilizes a polygonal design to form multiple ranges of motion with different distances. Prior Technology

[0002] Note that currently, there is a type of exercise mat, such as the "Sliding Mat Structure" (application filed by the applicant on May 18, 2023, and published on June 21, 2024), which allows users to slide left and right and achieve exercise effects through a sliding area on the surface and at least two anti-slip areas on both sides of the sliding area. However, the aforementioned sliding mat is mainly a quadrilateral mat body, providing users with sliding displacement in two anti-slip areas on the mat body. However, since the sliding area of ​​the two anti-slip areas is limited by the mat body to a limited sliding distance, and this sliding distance cannot be adjusted, the exercise mat lacks the effect of varying the movement distance, reduces the variability of exercise training, fails to attract consumers, and reduces their willingness to purchase. There is indeed a need for improvement.

[0003] In view of this, based on the inventor's many years of experience in manufacturing, developing and designing related products, and after detailed design and careful evaluation for the above objectives, the inventor has finally obtained an invention that is truly practical. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sports mat with multiple types of movement strokes, which addresses the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art. The mat includes a pad body, which is a polygonal pad body with at least five sides. The upper surface of the pad body has an inner polygonal sliding area corresponding to the shape of the periphery of the pad body, and an outer polygonal anti-slip area is provided around the outer periphery of the inner polygonal sliding area.

[0005] Preferably, the pad is a regular polygon, especially any kind of regular pentagon, regular hexagon, or regular octagon with equal side lengths, and the inner polygonal sliding area is centrally located inside the pad so that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area are equally spaced.

[0006] Preferably, the pad is a polygon with non-equilateral lengths, particularly an octagonal pad. The pad has two symmetrical long sides, two symmetrical short sides, and four oblique sides between one of the long sides and one of the short sides. Accordingly, the inner polygonal sliding area formed by the shape of the pad has at least four different lengths of straight travel. The inner polygonal sliding area is centrally located inside the pad, so that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area are equally spaced.

[0007] Preferably, an inner anti-slip zone is provided at any position of the polygonal sliding area within the pad body, and the inner anti-slip zone and the outer polygonal anti-slip zone have at least two different lengths of linear travel.

[0008] Preferably, the inner polygonal sliding area is centrally located inside the pad body, such that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area are equally spaced, and the inner anti-slip area is located at the center of the inner polygonal sliding area, so that the inner anti-slip area and the outer polygonal anti-slip area have at least two different lengths of linear travel.

[0009] Preferably, the inner polygonal sliding area is centrally located inside the pad body, such that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area are equally spaced, and the inner anti-slip area is located at an off-center position of the inner polygonal sliding area, such that the inner anti-slip area is adjacent to a certain segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area, so that the distance between the inner anti-slip area and the outer polygonal anti-slip area is not equal and has multiple linear travel options.

[0010] Preferably, the inner polygonal sliding area is eccentrically located inside the pad body, so that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area are not equidistant. The inner anti-slip area is located at the center of the pad body, so that the inner anti-slip area is offset from the center of the inner polygonal sliding area to form an eccentricity, so that the distance between the inner anti-slip area and the outer polygonal anti-slip area is not equal and has multiple linear travels.

[0011] Preferably, the inner polygonal sliding area is eccentrically positioned inside the pad body, so that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area are not equidistant. The inner anti-slip area is eccentrically positioned within the inner polygonal sliding area, also offset from the center of the pad body. This results in both the inner polygonal sliding area and the inner anti-slip area being eccentrically positioned, so that the distance between the inner anti-slip area and the outer polygonal anti-slip area is not equal, thus having multiple linear travel distances.

[0012] Compared with the advantages of prior art, the present invention utilizes the polygonal design of the mat to provide multiple linear travel distances within the inner polygonal sliding area, thereby offering multiple extended movement distances for users to choose from and adjust the intensity of exercise. This helps to increase the variability of exercise use. Furthermore, the outer perimeter of the mat can be aligned and spliced, allowing multiple mats to be quickly and neatly joined together to form a large mat. Each mat clearly defines the training space for each individual, enhancing the practicality and convenience of the structure. Simple Explanation of the Diagram

[0026] To enable your review committee to have a better understanding of the purpose, features, and effects of this invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: First, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a motion mat with multiple strokes includes a mat body 10. The mat body 10 is a polygonal mat body with at least five sides. The inner surface of the upper surface of the mat body 10 is provided with an inner polygonal sliding area 11 corresponding to the shape of the periphery of the mat body 10. The outer periphery of the inner polygonal sliding area 11 is surrounded by... An outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 is provided, and a plurality of boundary inner edges 111 are formed between the inner polygonal sliding area 11 and the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12, as well as boundary inner angles 112 between the interface inner edges 111. Accordingly, through the polygonal design of the pad body 10, the inner polygonal sliding area 11 has a plurality of linear travels, such as a first travel A1 between boundary inner edges 111, or a second travel A2 between boundary inner angles 112.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the mat 10 is a regular polygon, particularly a regular pentagon, hexagon, or octagon with equal side lengths. The inner polygonal sliding area 11 is centrally located inside the mat 10, ensuring that the widths of the segments of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 are equidistant. Figures 2 and 5 show an example of using the mat 10 in an octagonal shape. The user stands in the center of the inner polygonal sliding area 11, using core strength to slide their legs outwards until they contact the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12, where they stop. Then, they slide their legs inwards to close the position, completing one repetition. This opening and closing motion is repeated to stretch the legs and train the core. During this opening and closing exercise, additional exercises can be performed... The distance that the feet can slide in the inner polygonal sliding area 11 is changed by the rotation of the body. For example, the distance can be adjusted by changing from the first movement range A1 to the second movement range A2. At the same time, the user can also train the core muscles through the rotation of the body. In addition, as shown in Figure 6, the user can also make one foot the pivot foot and the other foot the active foot and slide it outward to stretch for single-leg training. When the active foot touches the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12, it will stop and stop. Then, the active foot slides outward and inward to close and complete one movement. The single-leg training can also adjust the sliding distance by rotating the body. Accordingly, the pad 10 provides multiple extension and stretching ranges for the user to choose from and use, so as to adjust the intensity of the exercise.

[0028] Furthermore, the mat 10 can be a large mat, which can provide multiple people to conduct interactive training on the mat 10 at the same time. As shown in Figure 7, the people can first stand on each section of the outer polygonal anti-slip zone 12, and then use the inner polygonal sliding zone 11 to slide to the opposite or center position to further train their mobility and agility. During training, the people can also change the standing area of ​​the outer polygonal anti-slip zone 12 to adjust the sliding distance.

[0029] Another preferred embodiment of its structure, as shown in Figure 8, is a polygon with non-equilateral lengths. This embodiment demonstrates an octagonal pad, but is not limited thereto. The pad 10 has two symmetrical long sides 101, two symmetrical short sides 102, and four oblique sides 103 located between one of the long sides 101 and one of the short sides 102. Accordingly, the inner polygonal sliding area 11 formed by the shape of the periphery of the pad 10 has at least four different lengths of straight-line travel. For example, the third motion stroke A3 between the inner long side and the inner long side, the fourth motion stroke A4 between the inner short side and the inner short side, the fifth motion stroke A5 between the angles between the inner long sides and the inner long side, and the sixth motion stroke A6 between the angles between the inner short sides. Furthermore, the inner polygonal sliding area 11 is centrally located inside the mat 10, so that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 are equally spaced. Accordingly, through the polygonal mat with non-equal side lengths, the motion strokes are more varied and the training difficulty is increased.

[0030] Two other preferred embodiments of its structure, as shown in Figures 9 and 11, further include an inner anti-slip area 13 at any position within the polygonal sliding area 11 of the pad body 10. The inner polygonal sliding area 11 is centrally located within the pad body 10, ensuring that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 are equidistant. The inner anti-slip area 13 is located at the center of the inner polygonal sliding area 11, allowing at least two different lengths of linear travel between the inner anti-slip area 13 and the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12. For example, the inner anti-slip area 13 and the inner edge of the boundary 1... The seventh movement range A7 between the 11th and the eighth movement range A8 between the inner anti-slip zone 13 and the inner corner 112 of the boundary are used for two-leg training. When the two legs slide inward and close, they can step on the inner anti-slip zone 13 to improve the stability after the two legs close. This allows the user to add jumping movements when rotating and changing the movement range, increasing the difficulty of the training. In addition, when performing single-leg training, the pivot foot can step on the inner anti-slip zone 13, which helps to increase the stability of the pivot foot and makes the outward sliding of the active foot more reliable, thus improving the training effect.

[0031] Furthermore, the aforementioned pad 10 with the inner anti-slip area 13 can be implemented in several ways: First, as shown in Figure 10, the inner polygonal sliding area 11 is centrally located inside the pad 10, such that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 are equidistant, while the inner anti-slip area 13 is located off-center from the inner polygonal sliding area 11, so that the inner anti-slip area 13 is adjacent to a certain segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12, resulting in multiple linear travel distances between the inner anti-slip area 13 and the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12; Second, as shown in Figure 12, the inner polygonal sliding area 11 is off-center inside the pad 10, such that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 are not equidistant, while the inner anti-slip area 13 is located at the center of the pad 10, such that the inner anti-slip area 13 is offset from the inner polygonal sliding area. The inner anti-slip area 13 is eccentrically positioned at the center of the pad 10, so that the distance between the inner anti-slip area 13 and the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 is not equal and has multiple linear travel distances; thirdly, as shown in Figure 13, the inner polygonal sliding area 11 is eccentrically positioned inside the pad 10, so that the widths of each segment of the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 are not equidistant, and the inner anti-slip area 13 is eccentrically positioned within the inner polygonal sliding area 11, also deviating from the center of the pad 10, so that both the inner polygonal sliding area 11 and the inner anti-slip area 13 are eccentrically positioned, so that the distance between the inner anti-slip area 13 and the outer polygonal anti-slip area 12 is not equal and has multiple linear travel distances; the above are only some embodiments of the present invention, and should not be limited thereto. The configuration of the inner anti-slip area 13 can be implemented not only on the regular polygonal pad 10, but also on non-regular polygonal pads.

[0032] By utilizing the structure of the above-described specific embodiments, the following benefits can be obtained: The present invention, through the polygonal design of the mat 10, enables the inner polygonal sliding area 11 to have multiple linear travel distances, thereby providing multiple extended movement distances for users to choose from and adjust the intensity of exercise, which helps to increase the variability of exercise use. Furthermore, the outer periphery of the mat 10 can be used for alignment and splicing, allowing multiple mats 10 to be quickly and neatly spliced ​​together to form a large floor mat. Each mat 10 clearly defines the training space for each person, improving the practicality and convenience of the structure.

[0033] In conclusion, this invention has indeed achieved a breakthrough in structural design and possesses improved inventive content. At the same time, it can achieve industrial applicability and progress. Furthermore, this invention has not been published in any publication and also possesses novelty. Therefore, it meets the relevant provisions of the Patent Law. Thus, we have filed an invention patent application in accordance with the law and earnestly request the Examining Committee of the Bureau to grant legal patent rights. We are deeply grateful.

[0034] The above description is merely one preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention; that is, all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
