Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bodenbelag für Sportplätze mit einem massiven Unterbau, insbesondere für Sporthallen, mit einer auf dem Unterbau in ihrer Lage fixierten Trag- und Haftunterlage und einer in die Trag- und Haftunterlage eingebrachten bzw. auf die Trag- und Haftunterlage aufgebrachten Auflage.The invention relates to a floor covering for sports fields with a solid substructure, in particular for sports halls, with a support and adhesive pad fixed in position on the substructure and a support introduced into the support and adhesive pad or onto the support and adhesive pad.

Bodenbeläge für Sportplätze mit einem massiven Unterbau, insbesondere für Sporthallen, sind seit langer Zeit in den verschiedensten Ausführungen bekannt. Neben den klassischen Holzparkettbelägen für Sporthallen finden sich Linoleumbeläge, Kunststoffbeläge und, in jüngerer Zeit, Teppichbeläge. All diese Bodenbeläge werden auf einen massiven Unterbau aus Beton, Gußasphalt, Estrich od. dgl. aufgebracht. Die Auflagen enthalten im allgemeinen ein Klebe-oder Bindemittel, damit einerseits ein Verrutschen der Auflagen (Wellenbildung) verhindert wird und damit andererseits bei starker Beanspruchung in horizontaler Ebene eine unerwünschte Staubentwicklung nicht auftritt.Floor coverings for sports fields with a solid substructure, in particular for sports halls, have been known in a wide variety of designs for a long time. In addition to the classic wooden parquet coverings for sports halls, linoleum coverings, plastic coverings and, more recently, carpet coverings can be found. All of these floor coverings are applied to a solid substructure made of concrete, mastic asphalt, screed or the like. The overlays generally contain an adhesive or binding agent so that on the one hand slipping of the overlays (wave formation) is prevented and on the other hand undesired dust formation does not occur in the horizontal plane under heavy use.

Im übrigen ist aber ein Bodenbelag der eingangs erläuterten Art bekannt (vgl. die US-A-1917014), der für Abschläge von Golfplätzen bestimmt ist. Dieser Bodenbelag wird auf einen Unterbau beispielsweise aus Beton aufgebracht ; die Trag- und Haftunterlage besteht aus einem Metallgeflecht und die Auflage besteht aus Schalenteilen von Baumwollsamen, Sägemehl od. dgl. Wenn auch bei diesem bekannten Bodenbelag ein seitliches Verrutschen (Wellenbildung) der Auflage vermittels des Metallgeflechtes erschwert wird, so ist doch dieser Bodenbelag nur für den speziellen Anwendungsfall bei Abschlägen von Golfplätzen geeignet. Beim Golfspiel treten nämlich keine bzw. nur sehr geringe Belastungen des Bodenbelages in horizontaler Ebene auf, so daß einerseits sowieso die Gefahr des Verrutschens oder der Wellenbildung gering ist, andererseits die Staubentwicklung sich von selbst in Grenzen hält. Dieser bekannte Bodenbelag ist jedoch nicht für alle Laufsportarten, z.B. für Tennis, geeignet, da die Auflage wegen der starken Belastungen durch Laufen, Starten, Abbremsen etc. schnell verrutschen und Wellen bilden würde und da eine allzu starke, ja vollkommen unerträgliche Staubentwicklung auftreten würde.For the rest, however, a floor covering of the type described at the outset is known (cf. US-A-1917014) which is intended for teeing off golf courses. This floor covering is applied to a substructure made of concrete, for example; the support and adhesive underlay consists of a metal mesh and the support consists of shell parts of cottonseed, sawdust or the like suitable for the special application when teeing off golf courses. When playing golf, there are no or only very slight loads on the floor covering in the horizontal plane, so that on the one hand the risk of slipping or the formation of waves is low anyway, and on the other hand the dust development is limited by itself. However, this known flooring is not for all running sports, e.g. suitable for tennis, because the pad would slip quickly and form waves due to the heavy loads of running, starting, braking etc. and because there would be too strong, even completely unbearable, dust generation.

Im übrigen sind auch Bodenbeläge für Sportplätze bekannt, bei denen Sand, Rotsand, Asche od. dgl. als Auflage ohne zusätzliches Klebe- oder Bindemittel verwendet wird. Diese, im folgenden als Aschenbeläge bezeichneten Bodenbeläge werden auf Freiluftplätzen, insbesondere auf Tennisplätzen, sehr viel eingesetzt, da sie hinsichtlich der Verletzungsgefahr für Sportler und hinsichtlich der Bespielbarkeit sehr vorteilhaft sind. Die Aschenbeläge für Freiluftplätze werden auf elastische, ein zu starkes Verrutschen des Sandes, Rotsandes oder der Asche (Wellenbildung) verhindernde, also nicht auf massive Unterbauten aufgebracht. Die Auflage aus Sand, Rotsand, Asche od. dgl. wird bei den Aschenbelägen für Freiluftplätze dadurch zusammengehalten, daß sie stets etwas feucht gehalten wird. Die Feuchtigkeit führt dazu, daß eine kompakte und trittelastische Auflage gegeben ist, bei der die Feuchtigkeit, d.h. das in der Auflage enthaltene Wasser, gewissermaßen als Bindemittel wirkt und bei der praktisch keine oder eine nur geringe Staubentwicklung auftritt. Bei der Aufrechterhaltung einer gewissen Feuchtigkeit in der Auflage kommt dabei dem elastischen Unterbau bekannter Aschenbeläge die entscheidende Funktion zu, nämlich als Wasseraufnahme- und Speicherschicht zu wirken. Der elastische Unterbau dient also als Feuchtigkeitsspeicher, aus dem über vergleichsweise lange Zeiträume kontinuierlich Feuchtigkeit an die Auflage abgegeben werden kann. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß bekannte Aschenbeläge für Freiluftplätze auf elastischen Unterbauten nur in Abständen von mehreren Stunden oder gar Tagen gesprengt werden müssen, wobei ohne das Vorhandensein der elastischen Unterbauten ein etwa halbstündiges Sprengen notwendig wäre. Wegen der besonderen Funktion dieser elastischen Unterbauten werden diese auch als dynamische Schichten bezeichnet.In addition, floor coverings for sports fields are known in which sand, red sand, ash or the like is used as a covering without additional adhesive or binder. These floor coverings, referred to below as ash coverings, are used a great deal on open air courts, in particular on tennis courts, since they are very advantageous with regard to the risk of injury to athletes and with regard to playability. The ash coverings for open-air spaces are applied to elastic, preventing the sand, red sand or ash from slipping too much (wave formation), i.e. not to massive substructures. The overlay made of sand, red sand, ash or the like is held together in the ash coverings for open-air spaces by always being kept slightly damp. The moisture leads to a compact and semi-elastic support, in which the moisture, i.e. the water contained in the edition acts as a binding agent and with practically no or little dust. In maintaining a certain level of moisture in the support, the elastic substructure of known ash coverings has the decisive function, namely to act as a water absorption and storage layer. The elastic substructure thus serves as a moisture store from which moisture can be continuously released to the support over comparatively long periods of time. It is thereby achieved that known ash coverings for open spaces on elastic substructures only have to be blasted at intervals of several hours or even days, without which the roughly half-hour blasting would be necessary without the presence of the elastic substructures. Because of the special function of these elastic substructures, they are also called dynamic layers.

Aus den zuvor erläuterten Gründen, insbesondere wegen der Problematik hinsichtlich der Wasseraufnahme- und -speicherung, galt es bislang als unmöglich, Aschenbeläge ohne die aufwendigen elastischen Unterbauten zu verwenden, insbesondere da mangels Bindewirkung der Feuchtigkeit eine Standfestigkeit der Auflage nicht erwartet werden konnte.For the reasons explained above, in particular because of the problem with regard to water absorption and storage, it was previously considered impossible to use ash coverings without the complex elastic substructures, especially since the stability of the support could not be expected due to the lack of binding effect of the moisture.

Ausgehend von der zuvor ausführlich erläuterten Situation bezüglich Bodenbelägen für Sportplätze liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bodenbelag für Sportplätze mit einem massiven Unterbau anzugeben, der in seinen Eigenschaften den bislang nur auf Freiluftplätzen verwendeten Aschenbelägen gleichkommt, ohne daß die bei Aschenbelägen bisher als notwendig angesehenen aufwendigen Unterbauten verwendet werden müßten.Based on the situation described above in detail with regard to floor coverings for sports fields, the object of the invention is to provide a floor covering for sports fields with a solid substructure, the properties of which are equivalent to the ash coverings previously only used in open air spaces, without the ash coverings previously considered necessary elaborate substructures would have to be used.

Der erfindungsgemäße Bodenbelag für Sportplätze mit einem massiven Unterbau, bei dem die zuvor aufgezeigte Aufgabe gelöst ist, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Trag- und Haftunterlage aus einem Kokosfasergewebe od. dgl. und die Auflage aus Sand, Rotsand, Asche od. dgl. besteht. Der erfindungsgemäße Bodenbelag entspricht hinsichtlich der Verletzungsgefahr für Sportler und der Bespielbarkeit praktisch exakt den auf Freiluftplätzen verwendeten Aschenbelägen. Dabei wird mit der aus einem Kokosfasergewebe od. dgl. bestehenden Trag- und Haftunterlage dreierlei erreicht. Einerseits verhindert die Trag- und Haftunterlage dadurch, daß die Auflage überwiegend in sie eingebracht ist und sich in ihr verkeilen kann, unerwünschte Wellenbildungen der Auflage. Andererseits sorgt die Trag- und Haftunterlage für die notwendige Trittelastizität des Bodenbelages insgesamt, wobei mit dem Kokosfasergewebe nahezu ein Optimum in dieser Richtung erreicht wird. Schließlich aber - das ist von besonderer Bedeutung - vermag die aus einem Kokosfasergewebe od. dgl. bestehende Trag- und Haftunterlage die Wasseraufnahme-und -speicherfunktion zu übernehmen, die bislang von dem bekannten, eingangs erläuterten aufwendigen Unterbau übernommen wurde. In der fasrigen Struktur des Kokosfasergewebes wird Wasser in einem solchen Umfange gespeichert, daß die notwendige Feuchtigkeit der Auflage aus Sand, Rotsand, Asche od. dgl. auch hier über lange Zeiträume, teilweise über Zeiträume von mehreren Tagen, aufrechterhalten werden kann. Damit ist es nun möglich, auch ohne den aufwendigen Unterbau zu Aschenbelägen zu gelangen, die über lange Zeiträume genügend feucht sind, um ein Verrutschen und Wellenbildungen der Auflage sowie eine unerwünschte Staubentwicklung zu vermeiden.The floor covering according to the invention for sports fields with a solid substructure, in which the problem outlined above is achieved, is characterized in that the support and adhesive base consists of a coconut fiber fabric or the like and the support consists of sand, red sand, ash or the like . With regard to the risk of injury for athletes and the playability, the floor covering according to the invention corresponds practically exactly to the ash coverings used in outdoor areas. Three things are achieved with the support and adhesive underlay consisting of a coconut fiber fabric or the like. On the one hand, the support and adhesive pad prevents unwanted wave formation of the pad by the fact that the pad is predominantly inserted into it and can become wedged in it. On the other hand, the carrying and Adhesive underlay for the necessary elasticity of the floor covering as a whole, whereby almost an optimum is achieved in this direction with the coconut fiber fabric. Finally, however, this is of particular importance, the support and adhesive underlay consisting of a coconut fiber fabric or the like is able to take over the water absorption and storage function, which was previously carried out by the known, elaborate substructure explained at the beginning. Water is stored in the fibrous structure of the coconut fiber fabric to such an extent that the necessary moisture of the layer of sand, red sand, ash or the like can also be maintained here over long periods, sometimes over periods of several days. It is now possible, even without the elaborate substructure, to obtain ash coverings that are sufficiently moist over long periods of time to prevent the pad from slipping and forming waves, as well as undesirable dust formation.

Für die Trag- und Haftunterlage hat sich aus den zuvor erläuterten Gründen ein Kokosfasergewebe als nahezu optimal erwiesen. Gleichwohl ist es natürlich denkbar, daß Trag- und Haftunterlagen aus anderen Materialien, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Wasseraufnahme und -speicherfunktion, das gleiche wie ein Kokosfasergewebe leisten könnten. Insoweit umfaßt der Begriff Kokosfasergewebe od. dgl. also auch Materialien, die funktionsmäßig und von ihren Eigenschaften her, insbesondere bezüglich der Wasseraufnahme- und -speichertunktion bzw. der Mikroporigkeit, einem Kokosfasergewebe entsprechen.For the reasons explained above, a coconut fiber fabric has proven to be almost optimal for the support and adhesive pad. Nevertheless, it is of course conceivable that supporting and adhesive pads made of other materials, in particular with regard to water absorption and water storage function, could do the same as a coconut fiber fabric. In this respect, the term coconut fiber fabric or the like also includes materials which correspond to a coconut fiber fabric in terms of function and in terms of their properties, in particular with regard to the water absorption and storage function or the microporosity.

Es ist jedenfalls zweckmäßig, wenn die Maschenweite des Materials der Trag- und Haftunterlage auf Korngröße des Materials der Auflage abgestimmt ist, so daß ein optimales Zusammenwirken zwischen der Trag- und Häftunterlage und der Auflage gewährleistet ist.In any case, it is expedient if the mesh size of the material of the support and adhesive pad is matched to the grain size of the material of the pad, so that an optimal interaction between the support and adhesive pad and the pad is ensured.

Selbstverständlich muß die Trag- und Haftunterlage in ihrer Lage auf dem Unterbau fixiert sein. Hier gibt es eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, beispielsweise eine punktuelle Fixierung über Nägel, Anker od. dgl. oder eine Verspannung der Trag- und Haftunterlage, z.B. an den Rändern des Unterbaus bzw. an den Wänden einer Sporthalle. Besonders vorteilhaft aber ist es, wenn die Trag- und Haftunterlage durch einen elastischen Kleber in ihrer Lage fixiert ist. Der Kleber bewirkt hier zweierlei, einerseits die Fixierung der Trag- und Haftunterlage, andererseits eine Erhöhung der Trittelastizität des Bodenbelages.Of course, the position of the carrying and adhesive underlay must be fixed on the substructure. There are a multitude of possibilities here, for example a selective fixation via nails, anchors or the like or a bracing of the supporting and adhesive base, e.g. on the edges of the substructure or on the walls of a sports hall. However, it is particularly advantageous if the support and adhesive base is fixed in its position by an elastic adhesive. The adhesive causes two things here, on the one hand fixing the support and adhesive underlay, on the other hand increasing the elasticity of the floor covering.

Im übrigen kann es herstellungs- und anwendungstechnisch von besonderem Vorteil sein, wenn die Trag- und Haftunteriage schon werksseitig mit dem Kleber versehen und zur Lagerung und zum Transport bis zum Einsatzort luftdicht verpackt ist. Vorausgesetzt ist hier, daß der Kleber an der Luft abbindet. Bei Lieferung der Trag- und Haftunterlage in Rollenform, die wohl gebräuchlichste Lagerungs- und Transportart, muß hier natürlich zwischen den einzelnen Lagen der Trag- und Haftunterlage eine Trennfolie od. dgl. vorgesehen sein, so daß ein einwandfreies Abrollen der Trag- und Haftunterlage gewährleistet ist.In addition, it can be of particular advantage from a manufacturing and application point of view if the carrying and adhesive base is provided with the adhesive at the factory and is packed airtight for storage and transport to the place of use. The prerequisite here is that the adhesive sets in the air. When the supporting and adhesive underlay is supplied in roll form, which is probably the most common type of storage and transport, a separating film or the like must of course be provided here between the individual layers of the supporting and adhesive underlay, so that a smooth unrolling of the supporting and adhesive underlay is ensured is.

Der erfindungsgemäße Bodenbelag kann und muß praktisch genauso behandelt werden, wie die bekannten Aschenbeläge auf Freiluftplätzen, er ist also beispielsweise ohne weiteres walzbar. Allerdings sollte das übliche und notwendige Sprengen wegen der fehlenden Drainage mit nebelartig versprühtem Wasser und möglichst vorsichtig erfolgen, um eine Durchweichung des Bodenbelages zu verhindern.The floor covering according to the invention can and must be treated practically in exactly the same way as the known ash coverings in outdoor areas, so it can be rolled, for example, without further notice. However, due to the lack of drainage, the usual and necessary blasting should be carried out with water sprayed like a fog and as carefully as possible to prevent the floor covering from softening.

Im übrigen ist die Lehre der Erfindung sowohl bei der Anlage neuer Sportplätze - Freiluftplätze oder Sporthallen - als auch bei der Renovierung alter Sportplätze anwendbar ; ohne weiteres auch auf Freiluftplätzen, wenn man einen entsprechenden Unterbau vorsieht bzw., falls schon vorhanden, vorfindet.In addition, the teaching of the invention is applicable both in the creation of new sports fields - outdoor courts or sports halls - and in the renovation of old sports fields; without further ado, if you have a suitable substructure or, if you already have one, find one.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer schematischen Skizze beispielhaft erläutert ; die Skizze zeigt in sehr vergrößerter Darstellung einen Schnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Bodenbelag.In the following, the invention is explained by way of example using a schematic sketch; the sketch shows in a very enlarged representation a section through a floor covering according to the invention.

Der Bodenbelag 1 ist für Sportplätze mit einem massiven Unterbau 2, beispielsweise aus Beton, bestimmt und besteht aus einer Trag- und Haftunterlage 3 aus einem Kokosfasergewebe, und aus einer auf die Trag- und Haftunterlage 3 aufgebrachten Auflage 4 aus Sand, Rotsand, Asche od. dgl.The floor covering 1 is intended for sports fields with a solid substructure 2, for example made of concrete, and consists of a support and adhesive base 3 made of a coconut fiber fabric, and from a support 4 made of sand, red sand, ash or applied to the support and adhesive base 3 . Like.

Wie die Skizze verdeutlicht, ist die Maschenweite des Materials der Trag- und Haftunterlage 3 auf die Korngröße des Materials der Auflage 4 abgestimmt. Im übrigen ist die Trag- und Haftunterlage 3 auf dem Unterbau 2 durch einen elastischen Klebers in ihrer Lage fixiert.As the sketch shows, the mesh size of the material of the support and adhesive base 3 is matched to the grain size of the material of the support 4. Otherwise, the support and adhesive pad 3 is fixed in position on the substructure 2 by an elastic adhesive.
