Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent text is to provide a mat with a puzzle function that helps to reduce waste during production, which results in lower costs.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the assembled mats are boring in general and lack changes.
This inevitably leads to a higher manufacturing cost for the conventional mats 91.
Moreover, since each side of the conventional mat 91 has the tooth-shaped assembling part 92, there is a problem that the boundary of the entire set of mats on the floor cannot fully cover the floor near the walls and at the corners.

first embodiment

[0024]Please refer to FIG. 1 for the disclosed mat with the puzzle function. The mat 11 is a square object with four sides, each of which has a tooth part 12 with a succession of teeth. The mat 11 has two cutting lines 13, 14 toward the two pairs of opposite sides and crossing at the center thereof, dividing the mat 11 into four blocks 21, 22, 23, 24. The two cutting lines 13, 14 curve in a regular way so that the corresponding parts of the blocks 21, 22, 23, 24 have assembling parts 15 with complementary shapes for engagement.

[0025]In the first embodiment, the two cutting lines 13, 14 divide the mat 11 into four blocks 21, 22, 23, 24 of the same shape. Therefore, any two blocks of the mat 11 can connect with two symmetric blocks of another mat, thereby constituting a symmetric puzzle mat set with two pairs of opposite sides having assembling parts of the same shape. As shown in FIG. 2, any two blocks 21, 22 of the mat 11 can form two diagonal parts of the symmetric puzzle mat set 4...

second embodiment

[0029]FIG. 5 shows the disclosed mat with the puzzle function. The mat 11b is also a square object. Each side of the mat 11b has a tooth part 12b with a succession of teeth. The mat 11b has two cutting lines 13b, 14b along the diagonal directions and crossing at the center thereof in the shape of an X, dividing the mat 11b into four blocks 21b, 22b, 23b, 24b. The two cutting lines 13b, 14b are curved in a regular way so that the blocks 21b, 22b, 23b, 24b have assembling parts of complementary shapes for engagement.

[0030]In the second embodiment, the two cutting lines 13b, 14b divide the mat 11b into four block 21b, 22b, 23b, 24b identical in shape. Two of the blocks 21b, 22b, 23b, 24b form half of the symmetric puzzle set 40b with same assembling parts on the two pairs of opposite sides. Thus, one block 21b of the mat 11b and another block 22b of the mat 11b engage via the tooth parts 15b to form the symmetric puzzle mat set 40b. The remaining blocks 23b, 24b of the mat 11b form ano...

third embodiment

[0031]However, the disclosed mats are not limited to form symmetric puzzle mat sets. FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment in which the non-symmetric puzzle mat set 40c has complementary assembling parts on the two pairs of opposite sides. The mat 11c also has a square shape. Each side of the mat 11c has a tooth part 12c with a succession of teeth. The mat 11c has two cutting lines 13c, 14c, toward the two pairs of opposite sides and crossing at the center, thereby dividing the mat 11c into four blocks 21c, 22c, 23c, 24c. The cutting lines 13c, 14c are curved in a regular way so that corresponding parts of the blocks 21c, 22c, 23c, 24c, have assembling parts 15c with complementary shapes for engagement. Each of the blocks 21c, 22c, 23c, 24c becomes one quarter of a non-symmetric puzzle mat set. As a result, the blocks 21c, 22c, 23c, 24c of the mat 11c engage with one another to form the non-symmetric puzzle mat set 40c.

Abstract

A mat with puzzle function is a four-sided pad. Each side has a tooth part with a succession of teeth. At least two cutting lines divide the mat into four blocks, in such a way that each block has an assembling part with the complementary shape to connect with others. The block of each mat can engage with another block of the mat to form a puzzle mat set.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The invention relates to the structure of mat on the floor and, in particular, to a mat with the puzzle function.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Most of the foam mats lying on the floor are square pads, differing on their appearance or some internal shape variations. Therefore, the assembled mats are boring in general and lack changes.[0005]Currently on the market there is another kind of mat with the puzzle function. Each side of the mat is formed with an assembling part to engage with another mat, therefore offering more assembly changes and fun. As shown in FIG. 8, the fabrication of such mats 91 with the puzzle function is formed by cutting a square pad 90. Each side of the mat 91 is cut to form an assembling part 92 to engage with another mat (not shown). Since the assembling part 92 on each side of the mat 91 has the shape of teeth, some part must become waste 93 during the process of cutting the square pad 90 into the mat ...
