First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , a pad 10 with entertainment effect according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 12 and a contact layer 14 .

The base plate 12 can be made of cloth or elastic foam pad, etc., and can be placed on the ground.

The contact layer 14, disposed on the top side of the substrate 12, is composed of a plurality of braided threads, the braided threads can be PET fibers, cotton threads or nylon, etc., and includes a first group 22 and a second group 24, the first group Each braided wire of 22 is not dyed or printed, and each braided wire of the second group 24 includes a connecting segment 241 connecting the substrate 12 and a printing segment 242 that is dyed or printed with a predetermined color. The printed length is approximately 10% to 50% of the length of the braided wire.

Thereby, the floor mat 10 presents a predetermined color and pattern (a rabbit pattern in this embodiment) through the second group 24 .

In particular, since each braided thread of the second group 24 has a connecting section 241 and a printing section 242 that is dyed and printed, when each braided thread of the second group 24 is touched and collapsed, the second group The pattern of 24 will be changed, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the pattern has a dynamic effect of changing, which is because the unprinted connecting segments 241 are exposed because the printing segments 242 are poured over. Therefore, the user can continue to pour some braided threads of the second group 24 in different directions, and can continuously change the pattern of the second group 24 to produce entertainment effects.

In addition, in order to enhance the pattern changing effect of the second group 24, the predetermined knitting threads of the second group 24 can be woven from the same or several different materials. The color or pattern of the second group 24 creates a gradation effect.

Secondly, luminous material or magnetic material can also be added to the dyeing or printing ink of each printing section 242, so as to make the pattern of the second group 24 more abundant, or use a magnet to change the pattern of the second group 24, Improve entertainment.

Furthermore, the top side of the substrate 12 can also be printed with colors or patterns, so that when the braided wires of the first group 22 and the second group 24 are touched and overturned, the colors or patterns printed on the substrate 12 can produce a dynamic feeling, entertainment effect.

In addition, the braided threads of the first group 22 and the second group 24 can also be trimmed to different lengths, so that different colors or patterns can be presented through the braided threads of different lengths.

As can be seen from the above, the present invention further provides a method of making the aforementioned floor mat 10 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the first step is forming 110 : after preparing the substrate 12 , weaving a plurality of braided threads on the substrate 12 to form contact layer 14, becomes A ground mat primary embryo 1. In addition, the initial embryo of the floor mat can also be obtained as shown in FIG. 5, and the substrate 12 and the contact layer 14 are cut out from a knitting block 2. The knitting block 2 includes two substrates 12 and a plurality of knitting wires 3 separated by an appropriate distance. Braided and connected between the two substrates 12 , after cutting the braided wire 3 between the two substrates 12 , two preforms 1 of floor mats can be formed, and a plurality of braided wires 3 in the shape of broken lines on one side of the preform 1 That is, the contact layer 14 is formed.

The second step of the method of the present invention is partial printing 120: printing and dyeing the ink of predetermined color and pattern on the predetermined braided lines 14 of the contact layer, so that the contact layer 14 forms the first group 22 and the second group 24, and controls the ink Only a part of each braided wire of the second group 24 is printed with ink to form the connecting section 241 and the printing section 242 .

There are three ways to print 120 in this section:

First, as shown in FIG. 6 , the substrate 12 faces upwards and the contact layer 14 faces downwards, and then contacts a printing device 4 upside down, and the second group 24 is printed by the printing device 4 . The printing device 4 can be a conventional ink tray or screen printing device.

Second, as shown in FIG. 7, the substrate 12 is turned up and the contact layer 14 is turned down. However, at this time, the contact layer 14 is in contact with one or more ink grooves 5, so that the corresponding ink grooves 5 are turned upside down. Each braided thread can absorb ink (at this time, the braided thread is made of material that can absorb ink, such as cotton thread, etc.), and the time that each braided thread is in contact with the ink tank is controlled, so that each braided thread will not absorb too much ink.

Third, the contact layer 14 forms the first group 22 and the second group 24 by blocking part of the braided wires of the contact layer 14 from being printed with ink by an isolation means. The isolation means are to waterproof part of the braided wires of the contact layer 14 treatment or solvent affinity adjustment treatment. When water-repellent treatment, the printing ink is water-based ink with water as solvent, and some braided threads cannot absorb water-based ink after water-repellent treatment; when the solvent affinity is adjusted, the printing ink is oil-based ink with organic solvent as solvent , some braided threads cannot absorb oily inks after being treated to reduce solvent affinity. The aforementioned water repellent treatment and solvent affinity adjustment treatment are conventional technologies in the printing industry, and the detailed technical contents thereof will not be repeated here.

The final step of the manufacturing method of the present invention is heating 130 : sending the preform of the printed pad into an oven for heating, so that the color or pattern of the contact layer 14 can be fixed.

In addition, the predetermined braided wires of the second group 24 are braided by wires of the same or several different materials, and the top side of the substrate 12 is pre-printed with colors or patterns, which is a pre-operation of the forming 110 step. Adding luminous material or magnetic material to the dyeing or printing ink of each printing section 242 is a pre-operation for preparing ink in the printing 120 step. In addition, trimming the braided wires of the first group 22 and the second group 24 to different lengths is performed after the heating step 130 .

To sum up, the present invention provides a mat with entertainment effect and its manufacturing method, in which only part of the braided wires of the second group of the contact layer are dyed and printed, when the contact layer or the second group of When a specific braided thread is touched and overturned, it can produce a dynamic effect of changing the pattern, as well as an entertainment effect of continuously changing the pattern of the contact layer, which is of great practical value. .
