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
- 1. Field of Invention
- The invention relates to the structure of mat on the floor and, in particular, to a mat with the puzzle function.
- 2. Related Art
- 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.
- 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 ofsuch mats 91 with the puzzle function is formed by cutting asquare pad 90. Each side of themat 91 is cut to form an assemblingpart 92 to engage with another mat (not shown). Since the assemblingpart 92 on each side of themat 91 has the shape of teeth, some part must becomewaste 93 during the process of cutting thesquare pad 90 into themat 91. This inevitably leads to a higher manufacturing cost for theconventional mats 91. - Moreover, since each side of the
conventional mat 91 has the tooth-shaped assemblingpart 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. - An objective of the invention is to provide a mat with the puzzle function to greatly reduce the production of waste during the production. This can effectively reduce the production cost.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a mat with the puzzle function so that the assembled mats have more varieties in the style.
- To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the disclosed mat with the puzzle function is a polygonal object with at least four sides. Each of the sides has a tooth part with a succession of teeth. At least two cutting lines divide the mat into four blocks. The two cutting lines form at the corresponding parts of the blocks assembling parts with complementary shapes for engagement. The blocks of the mat engage via the tooth parts with the corresponding blocks on another mat, thereby constituting a puzzle mat set.
- Preferably, the two pairs of opposite sides of the puzzle mat set have assembling parts of the same shape, forming a symmetric puzzle mat set. The mat is divided into four blocks by two cutting lines extending to the two pairs of opposite sides and crossing at the center thereof. Any two blocks of the mat can form two diagonal parts of the puzzle mat set. Another mat has two cutting lines curving in the opposite way to the previous mat, so that the former is cut into four symmetric blocks. Any two blocks of the other mat can be assembled to form the other two diagonal parts of the puzzle mat set. Each block and the symmetric block engage with each other via the tooth parts thereof, thereby forming the puzzle mat set.
- In an embodiment of the invention, the two pairs of opposite sides of the mat have assembling parts of the same shape. The mat is divided into four blocks by two cutting lines extending along the two diagonal directions and crossing in the shape of an X. Each block is half of the puzzle mat set, so that one block of the puzzle engages with another block thereof via the tooth parts, thereby forming the puzzle mat set.
- In another embodiment, the two pairs of opposite sides of the puzzle mat set have assembling parts of the complementary shapes, forming a symmetric puzzle mat set. The mat is divided into four blocks by two cutting lines extending along the two diagonal directions and crossing in the shape of an X. Each block is one quarter of the puzzle mat set, so that the blocks of the mat engage with one another via the tooth parts, thereby forming the puzzle mat set.
- In yet another embodiment, the two pairs of opposite sides of the puzzle mat set have assembling parts of the complementary shapes, forming a non-symmetric puzzle mat set. The mat is divided into four blocks by two cutting lines extending along the two diagonal directions and crossing in the shape of an X. Each block is half the puzzle mat set, so that one block of the mat engages with the other symmetric block thereof via the tooth parts, thereby forming the puzzle mat set.
