Yoga mat with suction pattern

Abstract

A PVC yoga mat with a suction pattern having a surface layer, two medial layers and a bottom layer. The surface layer can be a PVC film covering the first medial layer, and the medial layers and bottom layer can be PVC foam sheets. The first medial layer is a micro-foaming layer, and the second medial layer and the bottom layer are foaming layers. The surface layer, the first medial layer, the second medial layer and the bottom layer are combined into one body, and an anti-skid surface pattern is formed on the surface layer and the first medial layer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A patterned yoga mat having an upper surface and a lower surface and comprising a surface layer, a first medial layer, a second medial layer and a bottom layer, wherein:
 the surface layer is a PVC film layer having an upper surface and a lower surface;   the first medial layer is a micro-foam layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lower surface of the surface layer covers and adheres to the upper surface of the first medial layer;   the second medial layer is a PVC foam sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lower surface of the first medial layer covers and adheres to the upper surface of the second medial layer;   the bottom layer is a PVC foam sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lower surface of the second medial layer covers and adheres to the upper surface of the bottom layer; and   a plurality of ridges are formed in the surface layer and the first medial layer, thereby forming a traction pattern on the upper surface of the yoga mat.   
     
     
         2 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein the surface layer is a PVC transparent film. 
     
     
         3 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein the first medial layer and the second medial layer have a first color and the bottom layer has a contrasting second color. 
     
     
         4 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein the pattern is formed by an array of ridges, the array comprising lateral ridges and longitudinal ridges. 
     
     
         5 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein each of the ridges  06  has a height above an adjacent groove of between 0.8 mm and 0.9 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein the yoga mat has a thickness of between 8 mm and 9 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein the surface layer, the first interlayer, the second interlayer and the bottom layer are adhered together by hot pressing. 
     
     
         8 . The yoga mat of  claim 1 , wherein the pattern on the surface layer and the first medial layer is formed by a vacuum forming process.
