Massaging Floor Mat with Gel

摘要

A massaging floor mat includes a layer of gel that penetrates into the cells of a layer of memory foam. The layer of foam sits on a foundation layer of hard plastic. A plurality of protrusions are distributed over the upper surface of the foundation layer. The protrusions provide a massaging sensation to the user of the mat. The protrusions also hold the layer of foam in place obviating the need to glue the foam to the foundation layer. The gel is spread over the foam as the foam moves along a conveyor belt. The gel is then cured using hot air. The foundation layer is held in place in an indentation of a bottom cover of flexible plastic without using any glue. A top cover is placed over the layer of gel, and the peripheries of the top and bottom covers are attached to each other using high-frequency welding.
