Abstract

A portable in-place beveled multilevel cushioned mat that allows simulated jogging and running. This cushioned mat comprises an upwardly inclined mid-foot level and an elevated heel level having a heel receiving surface adapted to receive a foot of a runner. It is made of a closed or open cellular foam system from polymeric elastomers. The mat may be made of a foam core with polymer coated shell or molded with one or more than one type of foam system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A jogging mat comprising: 
 an upwardly inclined mid-foot level; and    an elevated heel level having a heel receiving surface adapted to receive a foot of a runner.    
   
   
       2 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the upwardly inclined mid-foot level has a mid-foot receiving surface.  
   
   
       3 . The mat of  claim 2 , wherein the mid-foot receiving surface and the heel receiving surface extend above the mid-foot level and the elevated heel level, respectively.  
   
   
       4 . The mat of  claim 2 , wherein the mid-foot receiving surface and the heel receiving surface are recessed below the mid-foot level, and the heel level, respectively.  
   
   
       5 . The mat of  claim 2 , further comprising a front toe level having a front foot receiving surface adapted to receive a foot of a runner.  
   
   
       6 . The mat of  claim 5 , wherein the front foot receiving surface, the mid-foot receiving surface and the heel receiving surface extend above the front foot level, the mid-foot level and the elevated heel level, respectively.  
   
   
       7 . The mat of  claim 6 , wherein the mat has a raised edge.  
   
   
       8 . The mat of  claim 5 , wherein the front foot receiving surface, the mid-foot receiving surface and the heel receiving surface are recessed below the front toe level, the mid-foot level and the heel level, respectively.  
   
   
       9 . The mat of  claim 8 , wherein the mat has a raised edge.  
   
   
       10 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the mat is fabricated of at least one resilient shock absorbing material.  
   
   
       11 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the mid-foot level transitions from a ground supporting surface to the heel level at an angle of between about 2.5 degrees to about 60 degrees.  
   
   
       12 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the heel receiving surface has an anti-slip surface.  
   
   
       13 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the mat is fabricated of at least one resilient shock absorbing material, with an outer polymer coated or fabric shell.  
   
   
       14 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the mat has a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface comprises an anti-slip surface.  
   
   
       15 . The mat of  claim 14 , wherein the anti-slip surface comprises a tread and groove patterns.  
   
   
       16 . A mat comprising: 
 a front foot level having a front foot receiving surface;    an elevated heel level having a heel receiving surface; and    a base adapted to receive the front foot level and the elevated heel level.    
   
   
       17 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein the front foot receiving surface and the heel receiving surface extend above the front foot level and the elevated heel level, respectively.  
   
   
       18 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein the front foot receiving surface and the heel receiving surface are recessed below the front toe level and the heel level, respectively.  
   
   
       19 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein the mat is fabricated of at least one resilient shock absorbing material.  
   
   
       20 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein a distance from the front foot level to the heel level is approximately 0.25 inches to approximately 6.0 inches.  
   
   
       21 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein the heel receiving surface has an anti-slip surface.  
   
   
       22 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein the mat is fabricated of at least one resilient shock absorbing material, with an outer polymer coated or fabric shell.  
   
   
       23 . The mat of  claim 16 , wherein the mat has a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface comprises an anti-slip surface.
