Modular mat

Abstract

A modular mat includes a first mat assembly including two first mat modules and a first adjoining element. The first mat module includes first bottom tubes and first top tubes. The first bottom tubes are parallel and spaced apart. The first top tubes are secured to a top of the first bottom tubes and perpendicular thereto. Each first bottom tube includes a first hole. Each first top tube includes a first hole member. The first adjoining element includes an elongated first body and parallel first adjoining rods extending from both sides of the first body respectively. The first adjoining rods are inserted into the first hole members of one first mat module and the first hole members of the other first mat module respectively so that the first mat modules are configured to releasably join together by the first adjoining element. It is easy to transport the disassembled mat.

         4 . The modular mat as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second mat assembly including two second mat modules and a second adjoining element wherein the second mat module includes a plurality of second bottom tubes and a plurality of second top tubes, the second mat module includes a plurality of second bottom tubes and a plurality of second top tubes, the second bottom tubes are parallel and spaced apart, the second top tubes are secured to a top of the second bottom tubes and perpendicular thereto, each second bottom tube includes a second hole, each second top tube includes a second hole member, the second adjoining element includes an elongated second body and a plurality of parallel second adjoining rods extending from both sides of the second body respectively, and the second adjoining rods are inserted into the second hole members of one second mat module and the second hole members of the other second mat module respectively so that the second mat modules are configured to releasably join together by the second adjoining element; and   an adjoining assembly including at least one adjoining module each including an elongated body member and a plurality of parallel adjoining rods extending from both sides of the body member respectively wherein the adjoining rods of one adjoining module are inserted into the first holes of one first mat module of the first mat assembly and the second holes of one second mat module of the second mat assembly respectively so that the first mat assembly and the second mat assembly are configured to releasably join together by the adjoining assembly.   
     
     
         5 . The modular mat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the second mat module further comprises a second side cover secured to one side of the second top tubes to close one side of the second top tubes. 
     
     
         6 . The modular mat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the second adjoining element further comprises a second top cover on a top of the second body, and an elongated second bottom cover on a bottom of the second body, and wherein the second top cover covers a top of one side of one second mat module and a top of the other side of the other second mat module adjoining one second mat module, and the second bottom cover covers a bottom of one side of one second mat module and a bottom of the other side of the other second mat module adjoining one second mat module when the second adjoining element and the two second mat module are joined together. 
     
     
         7 . The modular mat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each of the at least one adjoining module further comprises an elongated projection extending a predetermine distance out of a top of the body member, and an elongated bottom cover extending from two sides of a bottom of the body member; and wherein when the first mat assembly and the second mat assembly adjoined by the adjoining assembly, the projection is flush with tops of the first mat module and the second mat module, and the bottom cover covers a bottom of one side of the first mat module and a bottom of one side of the first mat module adjoining the first mat module. 
     
     
         8 . The modular mat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein in a stacked state the two first mat modules of the first mat assemblies are joined with the first top tubes of the two second mat modules on an outer surface, the first bottom tubes of the two second mat modules on an inner surface, and the first top tubes are perpendicular to the first bottom tubes; wherein the two second mat modules of the second mat assemblies are joined with the second top tubes of the two second mat modules on an outer surface, the second bottom tubes of the two second mat modules on an inner surface, and the second top tubes are perpendicular to the second bottom tubes; and wherein the two first mat assemblies and the two second mat assemblies are joined. 
     
     
         9 . The modular mat as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising a box including a hollow body, a cover, and a strap; wherein the hollow body includes a space open to a top thereof, the cover is hingedly secured to a top edge of the hollow body; wherein the cover is configured to pivot to either close the space or open the space; wherein the strap has two ends secured to an outer surface of the hollow body; and wherein the first mat assembly, the second mat assembly, and the adjoining assembly stored in the space in the stacked state.
