Description

The subject of the present innovation is an overlay which is particularly suitable as a turret mat and which is characterized by this is that it consists of a foam block the at least part of its sides is provided with a porous envelope, which in turn is made of a mesh fabric consists, which has a grid-like foam pad.

The previously known gymnastics mats are also hard for many types of high-performance gymnastics; For example, in the case of double somersaults, it is very important for the gymnast to step gently onto the gymnastics mat. Another disadvantage of the known gymnastics mats is that they were not elastic enough when the gymnast's body hit the _{ground due to the lack of porosity. To remedy this problem 3} eyelets have been made so far, from which the air should escape.

It has been shown, however, that the previously known gymnastics mats by no means close up on high-performance gymnastic mats

can meet demanding requirements.

These disadvantages of the prior art are achieved by the gymnastics mat or edition according to the innovation overcome by advantages.

The foam block arranged inside the exercise mat consists according to a preferred embodiment of one such, whose interior (core) consists of a relatively harder one and whose edge area consists of a relatively softer foam. The geometric shape of the foam block is generally that of a flat quarters, but naturally all other usual ones can also be used and conceivable mat shapes or support shapes can be selected.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the Renewal gym mat or pad on both sides with a provided porous cover, which in turn consists of a synthetic fiber mesh fabric, which is foamed or Foam such a grid-like foam pad which ensures that there is a maximum of porosity. If now the body of the gymnast on the renewal according to If the gym mat or overlay strikes you Foam block partially displaced very quickly, so can

this air escapes through the "numerous openings in the mesh fabric of the envelope and through the mesh structure of the foam pad, the desired damping effect being achieved in an optimal manner. During this braking process, the braking resistance increases due to the increasing hardness of the foam in the embodiment in which a relatively softer border surrounds a relatively hard foam core.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the foam core is glued or bonded to the porous covering.

. Welded; The foam core can, however, also be sewn or sewn around according to another embodiment.

There are two identical models of the subject of the application "at.

The object according to the innovation is also very well suited as a bed pad, in particular for sports purposes and medical purposes.
