Abstract

The drainage covering for a stable floor comprises granulated mixed fibre and/or granule material of rubber composition or rubber waste, bonded with a flexible binder to form an elastic, resilient, open-pore covering, beneath which is placed a larger-pore mat wound from synthetic threads three-dimensionally or consisting of wire mesh. Over the covering is placed a water-permeable fleece or fabric layer of textile and/or synthetic fibres, natural fibres or rubber fibre or particle material. Drainage grooves or projections may be provided on the lower surface instead of the mat. Pref. the lower part of the whole covering is wedge-shaped and made from a water-repellent mixture of fine rubber particles and an elastic flexible binder, with a surface sloping downwards in any direction.

Description

Drainage stable floor covering The invention relates to a stable floor covering, which is connected to by its capillary coarse fiber and / or coarse grain construction a wedge-shaped or otherwise arranged or introduced liquid drain and / or a coarse-pored, coarse-grained or three-dimensional looped one from synthetic shops or from wire mesh respectively.

-braid made mat as an underlay or intermediate layer in particular Has a drainage function and thus keeps all types of stables dry and non-slip and thus considerable advantages in terms of hygiene and the reduction of the risk of injury to the barn from animals, but also through its elastic construction and the heat-insulating properties the conventional litter in whole or for the most part makes redundant.

As conventional litter, straw of any kind is primarily used, however also known as peat litter, wood flour and sawdust. There are, however Special floor panels and mats made of rubber (with differently structured surfaces), nylon fiber and other synthetic material.

All mats have one common drawback: they are not able to Keeping a stable dry, that is, properly draining it, and therefore safe to ensure slip resistance. In spite of this, especially with horse stables Mats additional bedding necessary so that a warming surface is available, whereby the risk of slipping is increased. The well-known rubber mats and plates are predestined for accidents due to moisture and have with or without litter in horse stables the disadvantage that most horses do not lie down on them. This is why these mats have so far not been able to establish themselves in horse stables. The litter remained mostly with straw. But that too has considerable Disadvantage. The straw litter hides through the moisture in the lower part of the Straw mat also significant risk of slipping and accidents. The pent-up moisture brings further damage to health with it, in particular are almost all hoof diseases can be traced back to the moisture in this bedding. There is a risk of permanent infection (worming, etc.). Also hygiene, Animal care and keeping the silence clean are due to the moisture in the straw and the Dust in the straw made much more difficult, quite apart from economic aspects, because straw is becoming scarce and expensive because the grains cultivated are getting lower and lower in the stalk and thus become less productive. There are also constant storage problems with Straw and manure. Previous straw storage areas can be used better.

The present invention is a new stable floor covering which the Keeps the stable dry and thus the most important hygienic requirements for creates a healthy stable by being brought about by the coarse fiber and / or Grain structure absorbs the resulting moisture and through the in the middle to drainage devices located in the lower part of the covering.

The drainage stable floor covering thus brings the rational, economical and hygienic advantages that modern stables require: 1. The dryness in the stable and thus the elimination of the risk of slipping and accidents and the risk of diseases resulting from moisture, 2. lower maintenance requirements.

It can be swept, hosed down and, above all, disinfected, without having to move large amounts of straw and manure as before. He is through a liquid fiber / binder mixture can be repaired at any time.

It makes all the litter superfluous. reduces the consumption of straw to a minimum, namely the amount of straw that may

is still used as additional roughage. Reduce dung piles significantly, the straw storage areas become free. The stable will be cleaner, more rational and cheaper.

Compared to the previously known rubber and synthetic mats, which are available in The present invention brings low strengths on the hard subfloor the heat-retaining, cold-repellent covering.

When laying the animals down, a maximum of heat storage is guaranteed, in that the capillary parts of the covering largely due to the weight are closed and thus the inflow of cold is blocked from below About that In addition, this covering is poured homogeneously into the stables, so it brings a coherent surface, which in turn has a positive effect on the risk of slipping and accidents and encourages laying down.

For a better understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following Figures indicated: Fig. 1 shows a base plate in cross-section and perspective in a coarse-fiber structure, which also has a fleece or fabric-like covering may have.

Fig. 2 is the same plate, but in the composite below with an additional one Provide drainage element.

Fig. 3 shows alternatively made in the plate grooves or on the Knobs attached to the plate as a further possibility for liquid drainage if there is a slope in the stable.

Fig 4 is a composite panel for stables without a slope, in which the Fiber structure in the upper part of the plate which absorbs liquid, while the im Lower part of the composite attached plate wedge, liquid barrier and drainage gradient is.

Fig. 5 is a composite panel corresponding to Fig. 4, but received as Intermediate layer an additional drainage element from a very coarse-pored BEZW. -fibrous Layer, made of a mat made of synthetic flooring in loop form, laid three-dimensionally, or a corresponding wire mesh BEZW. -braid.

Fig. 6 shows a plate based on the same principle, but there are upper ones and lower plate part made of the same material.

The liquid barrier and the drainage gradient are set up accordingly inserted film or achieved by film formation on the bonded surfaces of the plate parts.

Fig. 7 alternatively shows another variant of the liquid discharge: in the lower fixed part of a composite structure with a slope to one side introduced drainage grooves.

In the present invention it was assumed that the rational Stable flooring has to fulfill primarily a drainage-like function, i.e. it absorbs water and at the same time must be designed to drain water. In addition, it must be soft and be kept warm, but also tight enough to hold the housed animals to lie down to cause. The surface must form a continuous surface in order to be able to with To give the animals sufficient strength and support to stand up.

The water absorption is achieved by the fact that in particular coarse rubber fibers (e.g. from shredded car tires), but also coarse synthetic oaer impregnated Textile and natural threads and fibers, with a predominantly elastic set Binder are connected so that BEZW between the fibers. Gaps between threads stay, absorb the water and direct it to the underside of the flooring so that the surface remains dry.

Instead of the fibers or in addition to the fibers BEZW. Threads can Granular material can be used.

The flooring can be manufactured industrially as a whole, but should predominantly be poured on the spot in liquid form and harden.

Repairs to the pavement are made possible by the already mentioned pourable Mixture of fiber / binder possible.

On the covering 10 produced in this way in FIGS. 1 to 6, a Non-woven or fabric-like surface 11 applied with water-permeable properties will.

Rubber foils and elastic ties together guarantee the best the necessary flexibility and slip resistance, but also that required resilience of the mat from the load.

It is just as important because of the flexibility of both materials when the animals lay down, the spaces between the fibers are largely compressed and the flooring has heat-storing and cold-repellent properties, which in the case of rubber is also supported by the insulating properties of this material will.

If there is a slope in the floor of the stable, the liquid will run according to this gradient. The liquid drain can be accelerated, if the covering according to FIG. 2 has an additional drainage element 12 or FIG. 3 accordingly the direction of the slope receives drainage grooves 13 or on the underside with knobs 14 is provided, which ensure the necessary ground clearance.

The drainage element 12 can be coarse-pored or very coarse-fibred Be mat. In the first place, however, is a so-called. Embankment mat provided, a three-dimensionally looped mat made of synthetic threads, in which the threads are attached to the contact points are connected to each other.

A corresponding mat made of wire mesh or respectively is also conceivable. -braid.

This open, yet firm mat structure ensures rapid Forwarding the liquid. It also enables cleaning and disinfection the mat by means of a water hose and disinfectant syringe not only from the top the mat, but also from below into the drainage element 12 or the drainage grooves 13 into it.

In this construction of the floor covering it is assumed that Slope in the stable is already available on site. Often that is not the case. In this case, the drainage slope must be placed in the pavement. This happens, for example by designing the lower part of the covering according to Fig. 4 as a wedge 15, kept flexible, but waterproof or at least a waterproof surface Has. For the wedge-shaped mat part, rubber powder with an elastic-flexible one should mainly be used Binder can be used.

The fiber respectively. Threads and / or grain existing covering 10 is firmly connected to the homogeneous wedge 15 to form a horizontally flat whole.

The above can be done between the wedge 15 and the upper covering 10 Drainage element 12 according to FIG. 5 can be attached in order to optimally drain the liquid to design.

Instead of the water-draining wedge 15, the mat construction according to FIG. 6 look so that two wedge-shaped covering parts 10 connected to a film 16 serving as a water barrier and drainage or that through Film formation on the composite surfaces or one of the composite surfaces water barrier and process can be achieved.

An alternative for removing liquid is that shown in FIG Possibility of grooves in the lower fixed part of a drainage stable floor covering 17 to be introduced on the slope to one side, thus on the wedge 15 or the Do not use slide 16. The upper covering 10 can be used directly or via the in between lying drainage element 12 are connected to this unit.
