DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present embodiment, the same designations and the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and further description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a perspective view showing a compact type folding mat according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

1, the compact type folding mat according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of unit members, each of which is divided into a first unit member 10 and a second unit member 20 .

A pair of the first unit members 10 are provided, and they are connected to each other along a first direction so as to be foldable with each other. Accordingly, each of the first unit members 10 includes facing surfaces that are in surface contact with each other in a folded state. That is, the pair of first unit members 10 are formed adjacent to each other and continuous, and may be folded so that the opposite faces of the first unit members 10 are in contact with each other.

Here, the first direction refers to any one direction, and the direction can be set without limitation in any direction.

The second unit member 20 has an area corresponding to the first unit member 10, and in the case of the present embodiment, the second unit member 20 and the first unit member 10 are substantially Are formed in the same shape.

The second unit member (20) is arranged to extend from the at least one first unit member (10) of the pair of first unit members (10) so as to be perpendicular to the first direction or the first direction And is continuously folded in one of two directions.

That is, the second unit member 20 is connected to at least one of the first unit member 10 or the pair of first unit members 10 continuously, Direction or in a second direction.

When a plurality of the second unit members 20 are continuously connected to each other from one or more first unit members 10, the second unit members 20 are individually connected in a selected one of the first and second directions Can be extended.

For the sake of understanding, the above description will be applied based on the first embodiment shown in Fig. In the case of the first embodiment, the two first unit members 10 are connected to each other in the first direction, and the second unit member 20 is connected to each of the two first unit members 10 by three .

That is, in this embodiment, the compact type folding mat has a large rectangular shape as a whole, and includes two first unit members 10 and six second unit members 20.

However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and various modifications may be made. Such a modification will be described later.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the first unit member 10 is a pair located at the outermost position, but the first unit member 10 may be variously determined according to the setting. That is, the first unit member 10 refers to any pair of unit members that are set to clarify the concept of the present invention, and the second unit member 20 includes arbitrarily selected first unit member 10 Refers to the remaining unit members connected.

Therefore, similarly to the present embodiment, a pair of consecutive unit members arbitrarily selected, rather than a pair positioned at the outermost position, can all be set as the first unit member 10. In this case, the remaining unit members other than the first unit member 10 to be set will be the second unit member 20.

In conclusion, it is essential that the plurality of unit members form a continuous shape without a branch point. Thus, according to the present invention, the entire unit members can be folded to an area corresponding to one unit member.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a process of folding the compact type folding mat according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the compact type folding mat according to the first embodiment of the present invention folded in the minimum folding form (C) It is a perspective view that shows one.

As described above, since the first unitary member 10 and the second unitary member 20 are continuous without the bifurcation point, the present invention has an area corresponding to one unit member as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 Folding is possible. If a branch point is formed in the middle, an extra unit member will occur and it will be impossible to fold in the minimum folded form C like this.

Also, in this embodiment, in order to easily fold each unit member, a connection form as shown in FIG. 4 is applied. Referring to FIG. 4, the second unit 20 is formed to have a predetermined thickness, and the plurality of second unit 20 includes a connection form 21a through the upper end of the predetermined thickness, (21b) through the lower end of the predetermined thickness are alternately repeated.

In other words, in the present embodiment, since each unit member has a predetermined thickness, when the middle portion of the thickness is connected, interference between each unit member at the time of folding will occur. Or the length of the connecting portion should be sufficiently allocated. However, in this case, not only the interval of each unit member is widened, but also the length of the connecting portion may deteriorate the appearance.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned problems are solved by alternately connecting the upper and lower ends of each unit member thickness.

Although only the second unit member 20 is illustrated in FIG. 4, it goes without saying that the first unit member 10 can be applied as such.

As described above, since each unit member is not connected to three or more different unit members, the present invention forms a linear continuous shape as a whole, thereby greatly increasing the degree of freedom of deformation.

4 and 5 are views showing various modifications of the compact type folding mat of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the conventional mat type can be modified as it is. As shown in FIG. 4, Impossible forms can also be implemented. Accordingly, when the compact type folding mat of the present embodiment is used for a play of an infant or a child, a more varied play method can be provided.

7 is a perspective view showing the first fixing part 22a and the second fixing part 22b of the compact type folding mat according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

7, the first unit member 10 and the second unit member 20 are extended in a state in which both the first unit member 10 and the second unit member 20 are extended in the case of the present embodiment, The first and second fixing portions 22a and 22b are formed at corners opposite to each other in each of the corners of the first fixing portion 22a and the second fixing portion 22b.

That is, when the compact type folding mat is completely opened, the usability may deteriorate when the opposite corners are separated from each other. Therefore, the first fixing portion 22a and the second fixing portion 22b.

In this embodiment, the first fixing part 22a and the second fixing part 22b are provided with an arm velcro and a male velcro for rapid fixing and separation. Alternatively, the first fixing part 22a, Needless to say, the second fixing parts 22b can be variously separated and fixed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the first fixing portion 22a and the second fixing portion 22b can stably maintain the overall shape.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which the compact type folding mat according to the first embodiment of the present invention is deformed into the minimum folding form C to wrap the strap 50, FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the folding form according to the first embodiment of the present invention And the compact type folding mat is deformed into the minimum folding form (C) and accommodated in the receiving bag (50).

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, various types of storage means can be applied after the unit elements of the compact type folding mat according to the present invention are all folded and deformed to the minimum folded form (C).

In the case of this embodiment, in order to store the compact type folding mat, a strap 50 for wrapping around the minimum folding form C of the compact type folding mat and a strap 50 for holding the small folding form C of the compact type folding mat However, it should be understood that various storage means may be further applied.

10 to 13 illustrate examples in which each unit member of the present invention is connected in different ways to form various types of compact type folding mats.

In the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the second unit members 20 are all connected from each of the first unit members 10, and the first unit member 10 on one side is connected to one second unit member 20), and a total of five second unit members (20) are connected to the first unit member (10) on the other side. At this time, a pair of second unit members 20 located in the middle among the total of five second unit members 20 connected from the first unit member 10 on the other side are connected to each other in the first direction to change the connection direction Respectively.

Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, it can be confirmed that the connection method of the second unit member 20 is changed although the whole has a rectangular shape like that of the first embodiment described above.

In the case of the third embodiment shown in Fig. 11, the overall configuration and connection method are the same as those of the second embodiment described above. The difference is that two first unit members 20 are connected to the first unit member 10 and four second unit members 20 are connected to the first unit member 10 on the other side.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the first unit member 10 and the second unit member 20 alternately change the connection direction in the first direction and the second direction, and have a zigzag- .

In the case of the fifth embodiment shown in Fig. 13, another first unit member 10 and a plurality of second unit members 20 are successively connected in a spiral form from the first unit member 10 positioned at the center As shown in Fig. As described above, the present embodiment is formed in the form of having unit members with both width and height exceeding two.
