Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/181,712, entitled “Exercise Mat with Integral, Repositionable Supports,” filed on May 28, 2009. The entire contents of the priority application are expressly incorporated by reference herein.
- The invention relates generally to the field of exercise accessories, and more particularly to exercise mats and props or supports, which are commonly used for Yoga and other fitness disciplines.
- Padded surfaces are often used to make activities that take place on the floor or ground easier and more comfortable. Athletic mats have been developed for many sports, including gymnastics and tumbling, wrestling, aerobic exercises, and yoga.
- Yoga mats are typically flat and relatively thin as compared to other exercise mats, and are designed to provide traction and cushioning. Most yoga mats are rectangular in shape, with a standard mat measuring approximately 24 inches by 68 inches. Yoga mats are made from a variety of materials, including rubber, vinyl, and hemp.
- Props or supports, such as blocks, wedges and bolsters, are often used by Yoga practitioners to provide support and comfort, and to properly align specific parts of the body while performing poses. Yoga props or supports are available in many shapes, sizes, and materials. In practice, however, Yoga props or supports have a tendency to slip or move during use, which may cause discomfort and result in a potential safety hazard.
- There is a need in the art then, for an exercise mat with props or supports that can be secured to the mat and yet easily repositioned to accommodate the user's varying exercise requirements.
- The invention provides an improved exercise mat with integral props or support assemblies. The user may position and reposition the support assemblies as needed to provide a safe, comfortable and functional surface for Yoga and other floor exercises.
- In a preferred embodiment, the exercise device disclosed herein comprises a generally rectangular mat portion and one or more support assemblies. Each support assembly comprises one or more support members, one or more support inserts, and one or more support bridges.
- The mat portion comprises a plurality of through-holes. The through-holes are preferably arranged in three groups or patterns; one group proximate each of the opposing longitudinal ends of the mat portion and a third group located proximate the longitudinal center of the mat portion. Each group or pattern of through-holes resembles an “X” shape.
- The support member defines a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is generally flat and the top surface is generally semi-circular in shape. The support member defines one or more cavities that are formed through the bottom surface and extend into the interior of the support member.

The interior of the support insert is generally hollow, and the interior surface of the support insert defines one or more substantially longitudinal grooves.
- The support bridge defines a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface of the support bridge defines one or more generally cylindrical projections. Each projection is configured to be placed through one of the through-holes in the mat portion and to extend above the surface of the mat portion. The projections define one or more generally longitudinal ridges.
- The grooves of the support insert are configured to accommodate the ridges of the projections to provide a press fit when mated, thus removably securing the support bridge to the support member, with the mat portion sandwiched in between.
- In a preferred embodiment, the exercise device comprises a mat portion comprising a plurality of through-holes and a support assembly comprising a support member, a support bridge and at least one support insert. The support member defines a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one cavity that extends through the bottom surface of the support member and into the interior of the support member. The support bridge defines a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one projection that extends upwards from and generally perpendicular to the top surface of the support bridge.

In yet another aspect, the support member has a generally flat bottom surface and a generally wedge-shaped top surface.
- In an aspect, the support insert defines four grooves, each groove extending along substantially the length of the support insert, and the grooves are evenly spaced about the longitudinal center axis of the support insert. In another aspect, the projection defines four ridges, each ridge extending substantially along the length of the projection, and the ridges are evenly spaced about the longitudinal center axis of the projection.

FIGS. 5A-5E ,support insert 40 is generally cylindrical in shape, with a slightly roundedtop surface 42 and a generally flat bottom surface 44. In a preferred embodiment, the interior ofsupport insert 40 is generally hollow, and comprises four involute orcurved grooves 45 that extend from the bottom surface 44 through a majority of the height H2 ofsupport insert 40, as shown inFIG. 5E . As shown inFIGS. 5D and 5E ,grooves 45 are evenly spaced about the longitudinal center axis ofsupport insert 40, shown as line N-N inFIG. 5D .Grooves 45 are configured to accommodate the complementary involute splines orridges 34 ofprojections support bridge 30, shown inFIGS. 6A-6D and discussed in detail below. - With further reference to
FIGS. 6A-6D ,support bridge 30 is preferably generally oval in shape and comprises a generallyflat bottom surface 36 and atop surface 37 that defines one or more generallycylindrical projections projections top surface 37, and each projection comprises a slightly tapered top surface 39 and four involute or curved splines orridges 34. The splines orridges 34 extend along substantially the length ofprojections FIGS. 6A and 6B ,ridges 34 are evenly spaced about the longitudinal center axis ofprojections - With further reference to
FIG. 1A , in a preferred method of use, one or more support bridges 30 are placed on a horizontal surface, such as the floor, such thatbottom surface 36 is on the horizontal surface andprojections 32A and B are facing upwards.Mat portion 10 is then placed over the top ofsupport bridge 30, such that eachprojection hole 25 inmat portion 10. Alternatively, a support member may be held in place if only one projection passes through a through-hole in the mat portion, as shown by support assembly 15C inFIG. 1B . -
Support member 20, comprising support inserts 40, is then placed on top ofmat 10 andsupport bridge 30, such that eachcavity projection grooves 45 ofsupport insert 40 and theridges 34 ofprojections support member 20 andsupport bridge 30 in place, as shown inFIGS. 7A and 7B .Support member 40 andsupport bridge 30 may also be separated and moved to different locations onmat portion 10 as desired by a user. - The
grooves 45 ofsupport insert 40 and the projections 32 ofsupport bridge 30 provide the cross-sectional strength necessary to maintain thesupport assembly 20 on themat portion 10 during use, while reducing the amount of material needed, and thus reducing costs. - The claims should not be read as limited to the described order or elements unless stated to that effect. Therefore, all embodiments that come within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereto are claimed as the invention.
