Abstract
A multi-layer exercise mat including a first layer including an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, the opposing inner surface of the first layer including a first array of three-dimensional features integral with the first layer; and a second layer including an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, the opposing inner surface of the second layer including a second array of three-dimensional features integral with the second layer. The first and second arrays of three-dimensional features are configured to grip each other to removably secure the inner surface of the first layer to the inner surface of the second layer.
Claims15
A multi-layer exercise mat comprising:
- a first layer comprising an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, the opposing inner surface of the first layer comprising a first array of three-dimensional features integral with the first layer;
- and
- a second layer comprising an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, the opposing inner surface of the second layer comprising a second array of three-dimensional features integral with the second layer,
- wherein the first and second arrays of three-dimensional features are configured to grip each other through frictional force to removably secure the inner surface of the first layer to the inner surface of the second layer,
- wherein the first layer, the second layer, or a combination thereof has
- an Asker C hardness of 5 to 70, or
- a density of 32 to 640 kilograms per cubic meter, or
- the Asker C hardness of 5 to 70 and the density of 32 to 640 kilograms per cubic meter,
- wherein the three-dimensional features of the first array comprise projections and the three-dimensional features of the second array comprise projections,
- wherein the projections of the first array have a substantially same shape as the projections of the second array,
- wherein spaces between the projections of the first array are not a same shape as the projections of the first array, and
- wherein the projections of the second array fit between the projections of the first array and are sized to frictionally engage the projections of the first layer.
