Abstract

A slider includes a foam board, a top layer and a bottom layer. The foam board is a polystyrene foam board that is easily formed and molded. Furthermore, a bottom of the foam board has a rail portion protruded with a plurality of foam rails therefrom and the foam rails are parallel with each other. In addition, the top layer and the bottom layer are made of polyethylene materials and comprise interface coatings respectively, so that the top layer and the bottom layer made of polyethylene could heat bonded to the polystyrene foam board without adhesives by the first and second interface coatings.

Claims (19)

1. A slider, comprising:

a foam board, made of polystyrene foam material, having a top face, a bottom face and edges, the top face of the foam board having a riding portion and the bottom face of the foam board having a rail portion opposite to the riding portion, wherein the rail portion of the bottom face of the foam board has a plurality of foam rails internally protruded therefrom and the foam rails are parallel with each other;

a top layer comprising an interface coating having a bottom face heat bonded to the top face and the edges of the foam board, a polyethylene foam skin having a bottom face heat bonded to a top face of the interface coating of the top layer completely, and a laminated film heat bonded to a top face of the polyethylene foam skin of the top layer completely, wherein the laminated film of the top layer comprises an inner film, an outer film, and a pattern formed between the inner film and the outer film, the pattern being visible from outside of the top layer; and

a bottom layer comprising an interface coating having a top face heat bonded to the bottom face of the foam board and a plastic plate heat bonded to a bottom face of the interface coating of the bottom layer completely, whereby the bottom face of the foam board and the foam rails of the rail portion of the bottom face of the foam board are covered by the bottom layer.

2. The slider of claim 1 , wherein the outer film of the laminated film of the top layer has a thickness greater than a thickness of the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer.

3. The slider of claim 2 , wherein the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer has a bottom face provided for heat bonding to the top face of the polyethylene foam skin of the top layer, and the outer film of the laminated film of the top layer has a bottom face provided for forming the pattern of the laminated film of the top layer thereon and heat bonding to a top face of the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer.

4. A slider, comprising:

a foam board, made of polystyrene foam material, having a top face, a bottom face and edges, the top face of the foam board having a riding portion and the bottom face of the foam board having a rail portion opposite to the riding portion, wherein the rail portion of the bottom face of the foam board has a plurality of foam rails internally protruded therefrom and the foam rails are parallel with each other;

a top layer comprising an interface coating having a bottom face heat bonded to the top face and the edges of the foam board, a polyethylene foam skin having a bottom face heat bonded to a top face of the interface coating of the top layer completely, and a laminated film heat bonded to a top face of the polyethylene foam skin of the top layer completely, wherein the laminated film of the top layer comprises an inner film, an outer film, and a pattern formed between the inner film and the outer film, the pattern being visible from outside of the top layer; and

a bottom layer comprising an interface coating having a top face heat bonded to the bottom face of the foam board, a polyethylene foam skin having a top face heat bonded to a bottom face of the interface coating of the bottom layer completely, and a plastic plate heat bonded to a bottom face of the polyethylene foam skin of the bottom layer completely, whereby the bottom face of the foam board and the foam rails of the rail portion of the bottom face of the foam board are covered by the bottom layer.

5. The slider of claim 4 , wherein the outer film of the laminated film of the top layer has a thickness greater than a thickness of the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer.

6. The slider of claim 5 , wherein the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer has a bottom face provided for heat bonding to the top face of the polyethylene foam skin of the top layer, and the outer film of the laminated film of the top layer has a bottom face provided for forming the pattern of the laminated film of the top layer thereon and heat bonding to a top face of the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer.

7. A slider, comprising:

a foam board, made of polystyrene foam material, having a top face, a bottom face and edges, the top face of the foam board having a riding portion and the bottom face of the foam board having a rail portion opposite to the riding portion, wherein the rail portion of the bottom face of the foam board has a plurality of foam rails internally protruded therefrom and the foam rails are parallel with each other;

a top layer comprising an interface coating having a bottom face heat bonded to the top face and the edges of the foam board, a polyethylene foam skin having a bottom face heat bonded to a top face of the interface coating of the top layer completely, and a laminated film heat bonded to a top face of the polyethylene foam skin of the top layer completely, wherein the laminated film of the top layer comprises an inner film, an outer film, and a pattern formed between the inner film and the outer film, the pattern being visible from outside of the top layer; and

a bottom layer comprising an interface coating having a top face heat bonded to the bottom face of the foam board, a polyethylene foam skin having a top face heat bonded to a bottom face of the interface coating of the bottom layer completely, a laminated film having a top face heat bonded to a bottom face of the polyethylene foam skin of the bottom layer completely, and a plastic plate heat bonded to a bottom face of the laminated film of the bottom layer completely, whereby the bottom face of the foam board and the foam rails of the rail portion of the bottom face of the foam board are covered by the bottom layer, wherein the laminated film of the bottom layer comprises an inner film, an outer film, and a pattern formed between the inner film and the outer film, the pattern being visible from outside of the bottom layer.

8. The slider of claim 7 , wherein the outer film of the laminated film of the top layer has a thickness greater than a thickness of the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer.

9. The slider of claim 8 , wherein the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer has a bottom face provided for heat bonding to the top face of the polyethylene foam skin of the top layer, and the outer film of the laminated film of the top layer has a bottom face provided for forming the pattern of the laminated film of the top layer thereon and heat bonding to a top face of the inner film of the laminated film of the top layer.

10. The slider of claim 9 , wherein the inner film of the laminated film of the bottom layer has a top face provided for heat bonding to the bottom face of the polyethylene foam skin of the bottom layer, and the outer film of the laminated film of the bottom layer has a top face provided for forming the pattern of the laminated film of the bottom layer thereon and heat bonding to a bottom face of the inner film of the laminated film of the bottom layer, and a bottom face provided for heat bonding to the plastic plate of the bottom layer.
