Definitions
- the present invention relates to a marking element implantable in a grassed area for the purpose of signaling or tracking.
- implants consisting of a body capable of being placed place in the ground and carrying tufts of blades of grass artificial protruding above the ground surface, in particular for the marking of land boundaries of sports such as soccer fields.
- the implantable bodies of these devices are important, require the digging of trenches, constitute rigid blocks flush with the ground capable of injuring users of the field and being damaged by lawn aeration devices in particular.
- the invention aims to propose a new type of implant much simpler in design, much easier instructions, not having the drawbacks of the devices known and capable of a range of applications other than the simple constitution of permanent marking lines which is the only application of the known devices exposed more high.
- the invention relates to a grass implant synthetic for marking grassed areas on the ground, comprising a body intended to be placed in the ground and carrying blades of artificial grass protruding at the above the ground surface, characterized in that said body has an upper part for anchoring said strands substantially cylindrical having, with the implant in place, a upper side substantially flush with said ground surface and a blunt lower part.
- the part lower part of the implant body is conical and fitted with a thread and the upper part has recesses cooperating with an appropriate tool allowing the screwing of the implant in the ground and its unscrewing.
- the implant according to the invention in its application to the marking of land of sport, does not in itself constitute the marking line, but a simple permanent marker, placed from place to place the along the theoretical boundary line of the land, and allowing marking with paint or plaster with in the traditional way by following the alignment of the implants.
- the implant of the invention is, moreover, very easy to put in place, without having to dig or prepare the soil and due to its reduced size, does not disturb the ground and does is not an obstacle or hard body sufficient to hinder the evolution of land users, or the maintenance of this last, such as mowing or aerating the lawn.
- the implant of the invention can serve not only as marking mark for boundary lines of land of turfed sports, such as in particular football or rugby, but also as a means of isolated signaling or marking in a surface grassed, of any element in the basement, such as pipe, valve, or any other object or structure not visible which it is important to know permanently the situation on said surface.
- an implant according to the invention comprising a body 1 of general shape cylindrical and blunt, that is to say shaped as a point 2 to its lower end.
- Body 1 is fully buried in the soil 3, the lawn covering the soil being represented by 4 and is provided on its upper face with blades of grass synthetic 5.
- the upper face 6 of the upper part of the body 1 is substantially level with the surface of the grassed soil surrounding and the strands 5 protrude from this face 6 substantially in parallel with the strands of grass 4.
- the strands 5 are fixed in one or more tufts on body 1 and are anchored in it by any means appropriate.
- the external face of the cylindrical part of the body 1 advantageously has sawtooth edges 7 avoiding the tearing of the implant.
- the implant is placed by driving into the ground 3 by any appropriate means, from place to place along a line to materialize on the lawn.
- Figures 2 and 3 illustrate an embodiment preferred implant, whereby the body has a cylindrical upper part 10 of low height in which are anchored the blades of synthetic grass 5 and a lower part 11 of generally conical shape with a tip 12 at the lower end and a screw thread 13 of a end to end of said lower part 11.
- the profile of the thread 13 is asymmetrical, the face lower 13a being much more inclined on the axis of the implant as the upper face 13b, so that the thread 13 protruding at the same time avoiding accidental removal of the implant.
- the upper face 14 of the part 10 is flat, has a number of blind holes 15 distributed regularly and in which small tufts of strands 5.
- holes 15 receiving each a tuft of a few strands 5, about ten, a few centimeters in length, five for example.
- the 5 strands are made of plastic of sufficient flexibility to be possibly mowed at the same time as the grass and to avoid any risk of accident.
- the density of the strands 5 is very loose, because the implant only has a signaling function and no creation of an artificial marking line.
- the density, considered at the free end strands 5, is, for example, less than ten per square centimeters.
- the diameter of part 10 is of the order of a few centimeters, 3.5 for example, while the height of the body of the implant (10,11) is around ten centimeters.
- the entire implant body is advantageously made in one piece by molding a suitable plastic material.
- the implant of Figure 2 is put in place by screwing in using a suitable fork-shaped tool for two fingers cooperating with two recesses or imprints 16 diametrically opposite the periphery of the face 14.
- the implant is particularly simple, easy and fast and does not involve any digging or manhandling of the lawn which thus retains all its integrity.
- the implants of the invention are set up at regular intervals on along the theoretical line to materialize on the surface grassed.
- the marking line is traced in the known manner, with paint or plaster.
- the line if it is not not already deleted, will be deleted by the mower. It goes on implants without being embarrassed and possibly mows them 5 strands at the same time as the grass without disturbing the implants which will be used for the new marking of the line.
- the strands 5 can be optionally colored or made phosphorescent for better identification in particular.
- the implant of the invention can also be used for the permanent signage on grassed ground of any object or structure hidden beneath the surface, for example a pipe, valve, etc ... and which it is important to know the situation.
- the invention is obviously not limited to embodiments described and represented but covers them contrary all variants especially with regard to the shapes and dimensions of the upper body 10 implant, which may for example have a polygonal outline and of the lower part 11 which can be cylindrical or conical, smooth, with or without anti-tearing projections, whatever their forms and arrangements.
