Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor covering according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing this floor covering.
  • coverings are known as granulate coverings, solid plastic coverings or so-called sandwich coverings.
  • Such coverings contain elastic synthetic resin particles which are bound with an elastic synthetic resin binder. For reasons of cost in particular, waste rubber particles or the like are generally added.
  • the above-mentioned rubbers are particularly suitable for running, since their elasticity makes them damp when running, and they put excessive strain on the joints in particular reduce.
  • the surface is uneven and allows the running shoe to adhere well when pushed off. Excellent running times have therefore been achieved on these coverings over short and medium distances.
  • the inventor has now set himself the task of creating a floor covering of the type mentioned, which promotes even shorter running times and which is nevertheless durable and can be produced inexpensively.
  • the object is achieved according to claim 1.
  • the direction-dependent damping properties make it possible to design a sports field surface so that it is much harder for the runner when pushing off than when braking after the flight phase. This enables better propulsion with the same damping effects at the end of the flight phase.
  • the floor covering according to the invention is also suitable as an industrial floor covering, for example for ramps and escalators and driving paths with a slope.
  • the invention can be implemented particularly inexpensively if a mesh or a fabric or the like is used in the elastic plastic mentioned, which has at least in some areas a lower elasticity than the elastic plastic mentioned and this mesh or fabric inclined cams, pins in the direction of travel or the like.
  • these cams or pins are bent transversely to their longitudinal direction and therefore exert only a very slight counterforce. With a corresponding force in the opposite direction, these cams or pins are stressed in their longitudinal direction and thus offer a substantially higher counteracting resistance to deformation. In this direction, the rotor experiences a higher resistance and a correspondingly lower damping.
  • Such a fabric is preferably made of synthetic or natural rubber.
  • the the Elastic plastic forming the basis is then preferably an elastomer, for example polyurethane.
  • the floor covering according to the invention can be produced from prefabricated panels or sheets or directly by pouring, in particular onto a sports field.
  • the net or fabric can then be attached to the prepared flat base, for example by means of an adhesive.
  • polyurethane is poured on until the cams or pins are covered.
  • the covering 1 shows a covering 1 with an upper side 1a and an essentially flat lower side 1b parallel thereto.
  • the running direction is indicated by arrow 6 and illustrated by a rotor 14, which is shown on a much smaller scale for reasons of illustration as the covering 1.
  • the covering 1 rests on a flat base 5 which is in itself arbitrary.
  • the covering 1 can consist of individual plates or sheets or be produced in one casting.
  • the distance h between the top 1a and the bottom 1b is preferably in a range from 0.5 to 3 cm and is preferably about 1 cm.
  • the covering 1 essentially consists of an adhesive layer 4, a layer 2 made of an elastic plastic, for example polyurethane, and a mesh 3 made of synthetic or natural rubber embedded in the layer 2.
  • the elasticity of layer 2 is greater, preferably significantly greater than that of network 3.
  • Network 3 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3. As can be seen, it has a plurality of cams or pins 3b which are inclined in the same direction at an angle lake with respect to the vertical. This angle ⁇ is, for example, 30 °, but significant deviations from this are possible.
  • the length l (FIG.
  • the pins or cams 3b is 11 mm, for example. You can be above according to FIG. 11 above.
  • the pins or cams 3b are connected to one another by webs 3c. Between the webs 3c, the network 3 has openings which are filled with the adhesive 4. The net 3 is thus fixed by the adhesive 4 and by the elastic plastic 2.
  • Designs are also conceivable in which the pins or cams 3b are not directed upwards, but rather downwards according to FIG.
  • the inclinations of the cams or pins 3b can be adapted to the floor covering different requirements. In the case of a floor covering for a high jump system, it is expedient, for example, to arrange the cams or pins 3b in the area of the jump more steeply than in the rest of the area.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 show schematically the production of the covering according to FIG.
  • the mesh 3 is placed on the layer 4, so that the adhesive of the layer 4 flows into the openings 3b and the mesh 3 is fixed on the substrate 5.
  • a suitable elastic plastic preferably polyurethane, is then poured on and distributed to form the layer 2 on the fixed net 3.
  • the pins or cams 3b are fixed in the layer 2 as shown in FIG. 6 and connected to the latter.
  • the production can be carried out comparatively simply directly on the sports facility or individual plates or carpet-like coverings can be prefabricated.
  • FIG. 7 shows a foot 8 of the runner 14, which occurs at the end of a flight phase with the step 8a in the direction of the arrow 7 on the upper side 1a of the covering 1.
  • the covering 1 is deformed, the pins or cams 3b being more or less bent. Since the pins or cams 3b do not offer any significant resistance here, the impact of the foot 8 is damped, the covering 1 is thus elastic in the direction of arrow 7.
  • the foot 8 exerts a rearward force in the toe area 8b, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the pins or cams 3b are loaded in their longitudinal direction by the repulsive force. In this, however, the pins or cams 3b can yield only slightly, so that they are hard when repelled according to FIG. 8 and thus significantly reduce the damping properties of the covering 1 in this direction. The push-off can thus take place against a covering that is significantly less elastic in this direction and is accordingly more effective for locomotion.
  • FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which a finished fabric 12 is embedded in an elastic plastic 11 and, as shown here, has a wavy course in the running direction 6.
  • the fabric 12 can be a synthetic fabric, for example a polyester fabric.
