Method for manufacturing a foam game panel and structure using the same

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a foam game panel and structure using the same. The method includes the steps of selecting a fabric while designing a pattern on a moldboard, constructing a foam material on a groove hole of the moldboard, such that the foam material is constructed on a surface of the fabric and along the grove hole to define a design pattern, and then producing a foam pleat on a surface of the fabric by expanding, hardening and shaping the foam material in an oxidizing process. The foam game panel structure of the invention is used to replace the traditional method and structure that uses stitching or plastic mold template, and thus the invention achieves the effect of saving the cost of the mold, providing a fast manufacture, and giving a variable safe stylish design with an artistic appearance.

1 . A method for manufacturing a foam game panel, comprising the steps of:
 a. selecting a fabric;   b. designing a pattern on a moldboard, such that said pattern disposed on said moldboard defines a groove hole;   c. constructing a foam material at said groove hole of said moldboard, such that said foam material constitutes a pattern disposed on a surface of said fabric and constructed along said groove hole; and   d. removing said moldboard and shaping said foam material by an oxidizing process.   
   
   
       2 . The method for manufacturing a foam game panel of  claim 1 , wherein said foam material is one selected from the collection of polyurethane (PU), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and their mixture. 
   
   
       3 . The method for manufacturing a foam game panel of  claim 1 , wherein said foam material produces a pleat at a position where said fabric is attached after said foam material is expanded and hardened, and a recession on another surface of said fabric. 
   
   
       4 . A foam game panel structure, comprising:
 a fabric, having a flexible surface; and   a foam pleat, made of a foam material, for forming a design pattern by attaching said foam material on said fabric, and producing a foam pleat by expanding, hardening and shaping said foam material in an oxidizing process, such that said foam pleat has a three-dimensional form.   
   
   
       5 . The foam game panel structure of  claim 4 , wherein said foam material is one selected from the collection of polyurethane (PU), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and their mixture. 
   
   
       6 . The foam game panel structure of  claim 4 , further comprising a groove disposed on a surface and at a corresponding to said fabric fixed with said foam pleat. 
   
   
       7 . The foam game panel structure of  claim 4 , wherein said fabric has a plurality of score holes disposed at appropriate positions for passing an object. 
   
   
       8 . The foam game panel structure of  claim 7 , wherein said score hole has a number disposed at the surrounding of said score hole. 
   
   
       9 . The foam game panel structure of  claim 7 , wherein said score hole has a woven net disposed around said score hole.
