Definitions

  • This invention relates to flexible panels or matting consisting of a plurality of entangled thermoplastic polymer filaments partly bonded together at their points of contact.
  • Such matting can be produced by two different processes, namely a so-called wet process and a so-called dry process, which give rise to products of different geometry and different mechanical characteristics.
  • non-stretched monofilament matting is obtained of virtually parallelepiped shape with flat sides, whereas with the so-called dry process the matting can present at least one profiled surface, for example with protuberances.
  • the surface profiling is obtained by dropping the filaments onto a surface provided with projections, for example a rotating cylindrical surface, or a translating web presenting a plurality of geometrical projections.
  • matting is obtained with mechanical characteristics substantially better than those of matting obtained by the wet process, and moreover the presence of said protuberances in the final product is useful in all those applications in which the purpose of the matting is substantially to retain a material, such as soil or polymer foam, which lies above it or is partially embedded in it.
  • matting obtained by the dry process is currently used presenting at least one profiled surface, it being generally positioned on inclined ground and then covered with soil.
  • a first drawback lies in the fact that the known products have a poor capacity for copenetration by cultivatable soil, because of the fact that said projections are partially impermeable to soil passage.
  • the product presents practically empty spaces below each protuberance.
  • air cells are created within said spaces which are deleterious to the development of the root system of the grass layer, the roots of which become dry and die on contact with the air.
  • An object of the present patent is to overcome the said drawbacks within the framework of a reliable low-cost solution.
  • a flexible matting of low density and high voids index the surface of which comprises a plurality of close-apart protuberances, said protuberances being hollow and provided with at least one open side in such a manner as to define a pocket or chamber to receive the material, such as soil, with which the matting is covered when installed.
  • Said matting is obtained by a dry process of the aforesaid type, using as the filament reception surface a translating surface provided with projections.
  • said projections present at least one portion inclined to the direction of movement of the surface at the moment of impact by the filament.
  • Said inclined portion is preferably flat, its inclination to the direction of movement being defined by the angle ⁇ subtended between the surface and the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement.
  • the angle ⁇ is that subtended between the tangential plane at the point considered and said perpendicular direction.
  • the translating surface carrying the projections is preferably a rotating cylindrical surface.
  • an angle ⁇ is defined subtended in the anticlockwise direction between the diametrical horizontal plane of the cylinder and the diametrical plane passing through the point of impact of the filaments.
  • the filament falling velocity is indicated by V C and the translation velocity of the surface and relative projections is indicated by V P .
  • the vector V R which expresses the relative velocity of the vertically falling filament to said inclined portion must be directed against said inclined portion with a positive angle of incidence close to zero or with a negative angle of incidence.
  • the described embodiment relates to a cylindrical translating surface provided with square-based pyramidal projections the walls of which constitute inclined portions of the translating surface, but is also suitable for a flat translating surface for which the angle ⁇ is considered equal to zero.
  • Figures 1 to 4 show the matting 1, the surface of which consists of a plurality of protuberances 2, aligned along several parallel rows and inclined at an angle of between 30° and 45° to the sides of the matting.
  • said protuberances 2 are hollow and present an open side defining a chamber 3 for receiving the material with which the matting is generally covered when installed.
  • the matting 1 is produced by the plant 4 shown in Figure 2, comprising a die 5 provided with a plurality of holes aligned along several parallel rows, through which the filaments of thermoplastic material are extruded.
  • the thermoplastic material is fed to the die via a usual extruder, not shown, at a temperature of between 160°C and 270°C.
  • Said extruder is fed in its turn by a usual hopper, not shown as it is of known type.
  • the theoretical filament extrusion velocity is between 10 and 15 m/min, and preferably about 12 m/min.
  • V C of the filament is from 1 to 1.5 times greater because of the stretching of the filament and the consequent reduction in its cross-section.
  • a rotating cylinder 8 having its axis parallel to the rows of holes in the die, and presenting on its outer surface a plurality of square-based right pyramids 9 of height preferably between 20 and 50 mm.
  • the pyramids are disposed in mutually aligned rows in the manner of a helix of predetermined inclination, preferably of between 30° and 45° to the horizontal axis of the cylinder 8.
  • the vertical falling velocity V C of the filaments must be regulated, relative to the translation velocity V P of the inclined wall of the pyramids, such that the vectorial difference between the two is a vector V R having a direction and sense such as not to encounter the wall.
  • the actual falling velocity V C of the filament has been assumed to be 20 m/min, and the modulus of the velocity V P to be 4 m/min.
  • V R is substantially parallel to the front face of the pyramid in the direction of motion, which means that said face does not encounter the falling filaments, and is hence substantially open.
  • V C In order for one of these walls, and in this case the rear wall, to be open, V C must be decreased or V P increased; the graph shows with dashed lines that vector V' R starting from which the wall begins to remain open. For this, the value of V P is 6 m/min.
  • V C perpendicular to V P
  • the relationship between the modules which has to be respected is the following: V C ⁇ V P [cos ⁇ /sin ⁇ ] i.e. V C ⁇ V P .cotan ⁇
  • ⁇ 180°
  • the front and rear walls in the direction of movement are always empty.
  • the matting 1 of the invention can also be obtained by replacing the cylinder 8 with a translating surface on which there are disposed a plurality of pyramids 9, or projections of any type provided they are suitable for the purpose.
  • said translating surface is preferably inclined to the horizontal plane by an angle of between 0° and ⁇ °, to facilitate the phenomenon.
