Definitions

  • Sportsfloor with mark signs for indoor multiuse halls method for mark signing such a floor and use of an electroluminescent material for the mark signs
  • the invention relates to the marking of floors, and is especially directed towards a marked sports floor for multipurpose indoor halls and a method of marking a floor of this kind, as disclosed in the preamble of respective patent claims 1 and 7.
  • the invention also relates to a use of an electroluminescent material as disclosed in claim 10.
  • Sports halls are usually intended for multipurpose use. They must therefore be able to house a number of different activities or events. Besides a host of different sports, activities, these halls may be used for, e.g., trade fairs, meetings, concerts, exhibitions, gala balls and ordinary teaching use etc.
  • the floor must meet specific requirements as regards properties such as elasticity and surface friction in order to afford the players optimum protection against accidental injury and to optimise the conditions of use.
  • Special sports floors have therefore been developed, as a rule made of parquet or a suitable synthetic covering material laid upon, e.g., an underlying concrete floor. Special floors of this kind are relatively expensive to install and maintain.
  • the marking is done by applying paint and/or coloured tape. All courts for the intended activities are normally marked when the floor is installed. This is done in a certain order so that the markings of lowest priority are applied first, and the markings of highest priority last. This means to say that usually the handball court markings are applied last and consequently this court will be the topmost ofthe marked courts. When the marking is completed, an appropriate number of top coats of a suitable varnish are applied. The result is a relatively "motley" pattern which is hardly likely to be characterised as particularly beautiful. In addition, it may be confusing for players and referees or umpires as well as spectators. When the hall is not used for typical sports purposes, the markings have no purpose and should for aesthetic and other reasons preferably have been got rid of.
  • the hall is to be used for major events, for example televised championships, national matches, tournaments or the like, it is often required that unwanted markings should be removed and that the court should only be marked with the relevant markings for the activity in question and, if applicable, sponsorship or advertising signs or the like.
  • the unwanted markings must then be removed either physically or mechanically or by covering the floor or court with a cover.
  • the necessary markings must then be provided.
  • the physical removal, in particular, and the subsequent application of markings are very expensive operations.
  • the total court markings for a handball court consist of 255 running metres, basketball about 220 running metres (3 or 4 training courts in addition to the match court), volleyball 81 running metres per court, tennis 146 running metres and badminton 100 running metres per court.
  • covers or substitute covering is not an optimal solution either as such coverings do not incorporate and/or satisfy the same quality requirements as the original sports floor.
  • Deficiencies as regards surface elasticity, point elasticity and antislip properties are well-known causes of ligament and strain injuries among players. Both associations and players have therefore been very critical of such a solution.
  • the known sports floors and methods of marking such floors have a number of drawbacks, and the object ofthe invention is to eliminate these.
  • the drawing is a schematic view of a hall with a sports floor which has been marked using the method according to the invention.
  • the reference numeral 1 denotes the actual sports floor.
  • the court markings are indicated by the reference numerals 2 and 3, connecting cables by 4 and a display or control panel by the reference numeral 5.
  • the invention is based on the application ofthe court markings using paint or tape in the same way as is done today.
  • the paint and/or the tape is transparent or of the same colour as the wood in the case of a parquet floor, or as the synthetic floor covering, so that it is virtually invisible.
  • a substance is added to the paint which becomes luminous when activated, for example, by a low voltage current.
  • the tape is a special tape of a type that can also be activated, for example, by low voltage current.
  • the technique is known per se from so-called electroluminescent lighting. In this connection, reference can be made to the product ELumin which is supplied by ELumin Limited, Unit R, Trecenydd Business Park, Caerphilly, South Wales, Great Britain.
  • the EL lamps are flexible, flat, slim, cool light sources which can be given complex shapes in order to illuminate different kinds of displays, and the normal areas of application of this product are given as ranging from mobile telephones and computers - architectural purposes and advertising - to dashboards or instruments panels for vehicles and aircraft.
  • the invention is not limited to the aforementioned product, as any suitable product that functions according to a similar principle - activation and light emission - may of course be used.
  • the colour ofthe emitted light can be selected as required, but a colour which provides good contrast, and consequently clear markings, is preferred.
  • All the court patterns or markings are arranged as separate circuits comprising the respective markings 2 and 3 and the cables 4, and the individual circuits can be activated by pushing an appropriate switch on the display 5.
  • All the courts may be marked using the same colour, preferably that which gives the best marking, as only the court markings required will be visible when switched on or activated. Alternatively, the different markings can be given different colours.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un plancher de sport marqué destiné notamment à des salles polyvalentes pourvues d'un plancher en bois, tel qu'un parquet, ou d'un revêtement synthétique, ce plancher ou ce revêtement étant posé de manière appropriée sur une couche de béton sous-jacente ou sur une solive de plancher, des marques y étant alors imprimées. Le marquage s'effectue par application d'une peinture et/ou d'une bande ou analogue selon un motif correspondant aux marques des terrains des sports respectifs, puis par application d'une ou de plusieurs couches d'un vernis transparent ou analogue. La peinture et/ou la bande sont transparentes ou de la même couleur que le revêtement de plancher de façon que les marques soient pratiquement invisibles, un agent activable étant ajouté à la peinture et devenant lumineux lors d'une activation. De la même manière, la bande ou analogue, en cours d'utilisation, peut être activée et devenir lumineuse de façon que les marques des terrains deviennent visibles lorsque les agents activables introduits dans la peinture et/ou la bande sont activés.
