Anti-fatigue mats and methods for making the same
First Claim
1. A method for making an anti-fatigue mat, the method comprising steps of:
- S1 of providing leather comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and forming a color layer on the first surface, wherein a color of the color layer is different from a color of the leather;
S2 of cutting the leather;
S3 of putting the cut leather into a mold having a plurality of protruding structures, wherein the plurality of protruding structures contact the color layer, and injecting an elastomeric material into the mold and curing the elastomeric material to form an elastic layer on the second surface and a plurality of concave structures corresponding to the plurality of protruding structures on the first surface, wherein the cut leather and color layer cave toward the second surface to form the plurality of concave structures; and
S4 of polishing the first surface to remove portions of the color layer outside of the concave structures thereby obtaining the anti-fatigue mat.

Abstract
The present disclosure discloses an anti-fatigue mat and methods for making the same. The method for making an anti-fatigue mat includes providing a leather comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, forming a color layer on the first surface, cutting the leather, putting the cut leather into a mold, injecting an elastomeric material into the mold, curing the elastomeric material to form an elastic layer on the second surface and a plurality of concave structures corresponding to the plurality of protruding structures on the first surface, and polishing the first surface to remove the color layer without caving towards the second surface. The anti-fatigue mat can have anti-fatigue performance and vivid stereoscopic impression, where being simple to fabricate with low costs and can be industrialized.
