Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a cushion body with a concave-convex structure and a mold for manufacturing the cushion body with the concave-convex structure. A first elastic sheet is pasted on a second elastic sheet. The first elastic sheet is a closed-hole elastic material. The second elastic sheet is an opened-hole elastic material. The first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheets are combined and heated. Finally, the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet that are heated are sucked using the mold under a negative pressure from one side of the second elastic sheet and cooled at the same time, so that the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet can be deformed using the concave-convex structure of the mold and cooled to be shaped, thereby obtaining the cushion body with the concave-convex structure.

Abstract: A method includes processing multiple macromolecular staples to successively produce a macromolecular sheet body, multiple silks and multiple sheet particles. The macromolecular sheet body contains multiple district camouflages and is processed by edge cutting to form multiple color strips. The color strips, the silks and the sheet particles are processed and attached to the surface of the macromolecular sheet body, so that the surface of the macromolecular sheet body forms the district camouflages, the thread camouflages and the spot camouflages. Finally, the macromolecular sheet body is vulcanized or solidified in a foam molding zone, to form an elastic mat with a mixed color type.

Abstract: A printing method includes preparing a dye receiving zone. Then, sublimation transfer paper is stuck to the dye receiving zone. Then, ink on the sublimation transfer paper is released in a heat pressing manner and permeates the dye receiving zone so that the interior of the dye receiving zone forms multiple blocks of color warning areas. Then, the sublimation transfer paper is removed from the dye receiving zone. Then, the dye receiving zone is cleaned. Finally, the dye receiving zone is worked and molded to have a determined profile. Thus, when the dye receiving zone ages and becomes thin due to a successive loss during a use procedure, the color warning areas in the dye receiving zone are exposed gradually, so that the user judges if the dye receiving zone needs to be replaced according to the loss extent of the dye receiving zone.
