Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kunstrasenlinie, die auf einem Boden, beispielsweise einem Rasensportplatz, gebildet wird, ein System zum Bilden der Kunstrasenlinie sowie ein Verfahren zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie.The present invention relates to an artificial turf line formed on a floor such as a grass sports field, a system for forming the artificial turf line, and a method of forming an artificial turf line.

Auf Böden von Sportplätzen, insbesondere Rasensportplätzen, ist es erforderlich, das für die betreffende Sportart notwendige Feld durch Linien zu markieren. Ein bekanntes Verfahren zum Bilden dieser Linien ist die Verwendung von Kalk- oder Kreidepulver oder ähnlichem, das über eine Pulverausbringmaschine auf den Boden bzw. den Rasen gestreut wird. Auch ist es bekannt, die Linien mit Sprühfarbe zu bilden. Durch Wettereinflüsse wie Wind und Regen sind derartige Linien jedoch nicht sehr lange haltbar, so dass die Linien häufig, meist wöchentlich, erneuert werden müssen. Ferner kann es zu Pulveranhäufungen kommen, die zu einer Erstickung des Rasens führen, so dass an der betreffenden Stelle ein Loch in der Rasenfläche entsteht.On floors of sports fields, especially grass sports fields, it is necessary to mark the field required for the sport in question by lines. A known method for forming these lines is the use of lime or chalk powder or the like, which is spread on the ground or the lawn via a Pulverausbringmaschine. It is also known to form the lines with spray paint. Due to weather conditions such as wind and rain, however, such lines are not very durable, so that the lines often, usually weekly, must be renewed. Furthermore, there may be accumulations of powder, leading to an asphyxiation of the lawn, so that at the point in question a hole in the lawn is created.

Ferner ist es bekannt, weiß gefärbten Kunstrasen in den Boden einzubringen, um eine Linie zu bilden. Derartig gebildete Linien sind meist sehr dünn, so dass mehrere Linien nebeneinander gebildet werden müssen, um beispielsweise die bei einem Fußballfeld geforderte Linienbreite von etwa 12 cm zu erzeugen. Dabei entsteht das Problem, dass zwischen den einzelnen Kunstrasenlinienteilen Unkraut oder Rasenpflanzen wachsen können, die Kunstrasenlinienteile überdecken, so dass die Kunstrasenlinie nicht mehr oder kaum erkennbar ist. Ferner ist es nur mit großem Aufwand möglich, die zwischen den einzelnen Linienteilen wachsenden Pflanzen zu kürzen, um die Erkennbarkeit der Linie wieder herzustellen. Darüber hinaus ist das Einbringen von mehreren nebeneinander liegenden Linienteilen in den Boden sehr aufwendig. Aus US 6,227,989 B1 und US 6,048,282 sind Kunstrasenbahnen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, sowie Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 13 bekannt.Furthermore, it is known to introduce white colored artificial turf in the soil to form a line. Such formed lines are usually very thin, so that several lines must be formed next to each other, for example, to produce the demanded in a football field line width of about 12 cm. The problem arises that between the individual artificial turf lines weeds or turf plants can grow, covering the artificial turf line parts, so that the artificial turf line is no longer or hardly recognizable. Furthermore, it is only possible with great effort to shorten the plants growing between the individual line parts in order to restore the recognizability of the line. In addition, the introduction of several adjacent line parts in the ground is very expensive. Out US 6,227,989 B1 and US 6,048,282 Artificial turfs are known according to the preamble of claim 1, and method according to the preamble of claim 13.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung unter Vermeidung der zuvor genannten Nachteile einen Kunstrasen zu schaffen, der zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden geeignet ist, wobei die Kunstrasenlinie auf eine einfache Art und Weise gebildet werden soll. Ferner soll ein System umfassend eine Bodenbearbeitungsmaschine und ein Verfahren zum Bilden einer derartigen Kunstrasenlinie bereitgestellt werden.It is therefore an object of the present invention, while avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks, to provide an artificial turf suitable for forming an artificial turf line on a floor, the artificial turf line being formed in a simple manner. It is another object of the present invention to provide a system comprising a tillage machine and a method of forming such an artificial turf line.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1, 8 und 13.To achieve this object, the features of claim 1, 8 and 13 serve.

Die Erfindung sieht in vorteilhafter Weise vor, dass eine Kunstrasenbahn zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden, vorzugsweise einem Rasensportplatz, aus einer langgestreckten Textilträgerbahn und mehreren Kunstrasenfasern besteht. Die langgestreckte textile Trägerbahn weist einen sich in Längsrichtung der textilen Trägerbahn erstreckenden Faserabschnitt und zwei Seitenabschnitte auf, wobei die Seitenabschnitte jeweils seitlich von dem Faserabschnitt und parallel zu dem Faserabschnitt angeordnet sind und jeweils zu einer sich in Längsrichtung der textilen Trägerbahn erstreckenden Falte umschlagen sind. An dem Faserabschnitt sind die mehreren Kunstrasenfasern angeordnet und bilden mehrere parallele Reihen von Kunstrasenfasern, wobei jede Reihe von Kunstrasenfasern in Längsrichtung der Trägerbahn verläuft und die Kunstrasenfasern von einer Oberfläche des Faserabschnitts der Trägerbahn abstehen. Im gefalteten Zustand der Kunstrasenbahn sind die Falten, die mit den Seitenabschnitten gebildet sind, jeweils in eine Furche in dem Boden zur Befestigung der Kunstrasenlinie einsetzbar, derart, dass der Faserabschnitt zumindest teilweise einen Bereich des Bodens überdeckt.The invention advantageously provides that an artificial turf for forming an artificial turf line on a floor, preferably a turf sports field, consists of an elongated textile carrier web and a plurality of synthetic turf fibers. The elongate textile carrier web has a fiber section extending in the longitudinal direction of the textile carrier web and two side sections, wherein the side sections are each arranged laterally of the fiber section and parallel to the fiber section and are each turned over to a fold extending in the longitudinal direction of the textile carrier web. At the fiber portion, the plurality of artificial turf fibers are arranged to form a plurality of parallel rows of synthetic turf fibers, each series of turf fibers extending longitudinally of the carrier web and the turf fibers extending from a surface of the fiber portion of the carrier web. In the folded state of the artificial turf, the folds formed with the side portions are each insertable into a groove in the bottom for attachment of the artificial turf line such that the fiber portion at least partially covers a portion of the floor.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn kann eine Kunstrasenlinie geschaffen werden, die auf eine einfache Art und Weise an dem Boden befestigbar ist, wobei eine stabile und dauerhafte Befestigung durch das Einbringen der Falten in eine Furche in dem Boden ermöglicht wird.With the artificial turf of the present invention, an artificial turf line can be provided which is attachable to the floor in a simple manner, allowing a stable and permanent attachment by introducing the creases into a furrow in the floor.

Durch den Faserabschnitt, der den zwischen den Furchen angeordneten Bereich des Bodens zumindest teilweise überdeckt, wird gewährleistet, dass kein Gras und/oder Unkraut zwischen den Reihen von Kunstrasenfasern entstehen oder wachsen kann, durch das die Kunstrasenfasern überdeckt werden könnten.The fiber portion that at least partially covers the area of the soil located between the furrows ensures that no grass and / or weeds can form or grow between the rows of artificial turf fibers through which the artificial turf fibers could be covered.

Dadurch ist die durch die erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenbahn gebildete Kunstrasenlinie äußerst langlebig und es ist nicht notwendig, dass in aufwendiger Art und Weise zwischen Kunstrasenfaserreihen befindlicher Rasen oder Unkraut entfernt oder gekürzt werden muss.As a result, the artificial turf line formed by the artificial turf line according to the invention is extremely durable and it is not necessary that turf or weeds located in an elaborate manner between artificial turf fiber rows must be removed or shortened.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass mehrere Kunstrasenfasern zu Faserbündeln zusammengefasst sind und die mehreren parallelen Reihen von Kunstfasern aus Reihen von Faserbündeln gebildet sind. Durch das Vorsehen von Faserbündeln aus mehreren Kunstrasenfasern kann auf dem Faserabschnitt eine große Anzahl von dicht aneinanderstehenden Kunstrasenfasern in vorteilhafter Weise angeordnet werden, so dass der Faserabschnitt mit den Kunstrasenfasern besonders echt wirkt. Dadurch wird eine Kunstrasenlinien erzeugt, die sich farblich von dem Naturrasen abhebt, jedoch eine sehr ähnliche Gestalt wie der Naturrasen aufweist.Preferably, it is provided that a plurality of artificial turf fibers are combined into fiber bundles and the plurality of parallel rows of synthetic fibers are formed from rows of fiber bundles. By providing fiber bundles of a plurality of artificial grass fibers, a large number of closely spaced synthetic grass fibers can be advantageously arranged on the fiber section, so that the fiber section with the artificial grass fibers has a particularly real effect. As a result, an artificial turf is generated, which stands out in color from the natural turf, but has a very similar shape as the natural turf.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass in dem Faserabschnitt der textilen Trägerbahn mehrere parallele Lochreihen aus mehreren Löchern angeordnet sind, wobei eine oder mehrere Kunstrasenfasern in die einzelnen Löcher eingefädelt und an der textilen Trägerbahn befestigt sind. Dadurch ist die Herstellung der Kunstrasenbahn auf eine besonders einfache Art und Weise möglich, wobei gleichzeitig Kunstrasenfasern in vorteilhafter Weise an der textilen Trägerbahn angeordnet und befestigt werden können.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that a plurality of parallel rows of holes are arranged in the fiber section of the textile carrier web of a plurality of holes, wherein one or more artificial grass fibers are threaded into the individual holes and fixed to the textile carrier web. Thereby, the production of the artificial turf is possible in a particularly simple manner, at the same time artificial turf fibers can be arranged and fastened in an advantageous manner to the textile carrier web.

Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass jeweils zwei Kunstrasenfasern zweier benachbarter Faserbündel aus einem Filament gebildet sind, das von der der Oberfläche des Faserabschnitts abgewandten Seite der Trägerbahn aus mit jeweils einem Ende durch jeweils ein Loch zweier benachbarter Löcher geführt ist. Mit anderen Worten, das Filament wird zum Bilden von zwei Kunstrasenfasern von der Rückseite der Trägerbahn durch zwei benachbarte Löcher gesteckt. Auf diese Weise können die Kunstrasenfasern in dem Faserabschnitt der textilen Trägerbahnen auf eine einfache Art und Weise und sehr schnell hergestellt werden, indem beispielsweise mehrere Filamente gleichzeitig durch die Löcher gesteckt werden, so dass zwei Faserbündel mit einem Herstellungsschritt erzeugt werden können.It can be provided that in each case two artificial grass fibers of two adjacent fiber bundles are formed from a filament which is guided from the surface of the fiber portion side facing away from the carrier web with one end through a respective hole of two adjacent holes. In other words, the filament is inserted from the back of the carrier sheet through two adjacent holes to form two artificial turf fibers. In this way, the artificial turf fibers in the fiber section of the textile carrier webs can be produced in a simple manner and very quickly, for example, by simultaneously inserting a plurality of filaments through the holes, so that two fiber bundles can be produced with one production step.

Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kunstrasenfasern an der der Oberfläche des Faserabschnitts abgewandten Seite der Trägerbahn vernäht, verklebt und/oder verschweißt sind. Dadurch kann eine stabile Befestigung der Kunstrasenfasern an der Trägerbahn auf eine einfache Art und Weise gewährleistet werden.It can be provided that the artificial grass fibers are sewn to the surface of the fiber portion side facing away from the carrier web, glued and / or welded. Thereby, a stable attachment of the artificial grass fibers to the carrier web can be ensured in a simple manner.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trägerbahn aus mehreren Schichten, vorzugsweise einem Gittergewebe, einem Vliesstoff und einem Nylongewebe besteht. Insgesamt kann vorgesehen sein, dass derart ausgestaltet ist, dass Wurzeln des Naturrasens die Trägerbahn zumindest teilweise durchdringen können, so dass eine zusätzliche Fixierung der Kunstrasenbahn in dem Boden möglich ist.It can be provided that the carrier web consists of several layers, preferably a mesh fabric, a nonwoven fabric and a nylon fabric. Overall, it can be provided that is designed such that roots of the natural grass can penetrate the carrier web at least partially, so that an additional fixation of the artificial turf in the ground is possible.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Kunstrasenfasern aus Polyethylen, Polyamid und/oder Polypropylen bestehen.It is preferably provided that the synthetic grass fibers consist of polyethylene, polyamide and / or polypropylene.

Die Kunstrasenfasern und/oder die Kunstrasenfaserelemente können aus Polyethylen, Polyamid und/oder Polypropylen bestehen. Derartige Werkstoffe haben sich als besonders geeignet für den Einsatz in einer Kunstrasenbahn bewährt.The synthetic turf fibers and / or the artificial turf fiber elements can be made of polyethylene, polyamide and / or polypropylene. Such materials have proven to be particularly suitable for use in an artificial turf.

In einem besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Kunstrasenfasern einen in sich verdrehten Querschnitt auf. Dadurch erhalten die Kunstrasenfasern trotz eines geringen Querschnitts eine besondere Steifigkeit, so dass sie in vorteilhafter Weise von dem Faserabschnitt der Trägerbahn abstehen. Darüber hinaus bewirkt die Verdrehung eine höhere Elastizität der Kunstrasenfasern, so dass sich die Fasern nach einer Verformung in vorteilhafter Weise wieder in die von der textilen Trägerbahn abstehenden Position rückverformen. Dabei kann entweder jede Kunstrasenfaser einzeln verdreht sein oder es können zwei oder mehrere Kunstrasenfasern miteinander verdreht oder verdrillt sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass eine Kunstrasenfaser aus mehreren Einzelfasern besteht, die verdrillt sind.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the artificial grass fibers have a twisted cross-section. As a result, the artificial grass fibers, despite a small cross section, acquire a particular rigidity, so that they protrude advantageously from the fiber section of the carrier web. In addition, the rotation causes a higher elasticity of the artificial grass fibers, so that the fibers re-deform after deformation in an advantageous manner again in the protruding from the textile carrier web position. In this case, either each artificial turf fiber can be twisted individually or it can be twisted or twisted two or more artificial turf fibers together. It is also possible that an artificial grass fiber consists of several individual fibers, which are twisted.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kunstrasenfaserelemente, die Kunstrasenfasern und/oder die Trägerbahn aus einem UV-stabilen Material bestehen.It may be provided that the artificial grass fiber elements, the artificial grass fibers and / or the carrier web consist of a UV-stable material.

Die Erfindung sieht ferner ein System umfassend ein Bodenbearbeitungsgerät zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn vor, bei dem eine Furchenzieheinrichtung zum Ziehen von zwei parallelen Furchen und eine in Fahrtrichtung des Bodenbearbeitungsgeräts hinter der Furchenzieheinrichtung angeordnete Linieneinsetzvorrichtung vorgesehen ist. Die Linieneinsetzvorrichtung weist zwei mit Abstand zueinander angeordnete Eindrückkanten auf, wobei der Abstand der Eindrückkanten an die Breite des Faserabschnitts der Kunstrasenbahn angepasst ist und die Linieneinsetzvorrichtung derart ausgebildet ist, dass die Seitenabschnitte der Kunstrasenbahn zum Bilden der Falten um die Eindrückkanten legbar und von der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung in die Furchen in dem Boden einsetzbar sind.The invention further provides a system comprising a tillage implement for forming an artificial turf line on a ground with an artificial turf track according to the invention, wherein a furrow pulling device for pulling two parallel furrows and a direction in the direction of the tillage device behind the furrow pulling device arranged line insertion device is provided. The Linieneinsetzvorrichtung has two spaced-apart indentation, wherein the distance of the Eindrückkanten is adapted to the width of the fiber portion of the artificial turf and the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung is formed such that the side portions of the artificial turf sheet to form the folds around the Eindrückkanten layable and the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung in the furrows are usable in the ground.

Das erfindungsgemäße System ermöglicht in vorteilhafter Weise, dass eine erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenlinie mit einem Gerät auf den Boden aufgebracht und in dem Boden befestigt werden kann. Ein derartiges Bodenbearbeitungsgerät kann beispielsweise von einer herkömmlichen Zugmaschine aus dem landwirtschaftlichen Bereich gezogen werden. Das Vorsehen der Furchzieheinrichtung ermöglicht das Bilden von sauberen Furchen in den Boden, in die die Linieneinsatzvorrichtung die Falten der Kunstrasenbahn eindrücken kann. Dies macht ein sehr schnelles Aufbringen und Befestigen der Kunstrasenlinie auf dem Boden möglich, ohne dass zusätzliche Arbeitsschritte notwendig sind. Da die erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenbahn beispielsweise aufgerollt gelagert werden kann, kann mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Bodenbearbeitungsgerät eine lange Kunstrasenlinie auf dem Boden gebildet werden, ohne dass eine weitere Kunstrasenbahn dem Bodenbearbeitungsgerät zugeführt werden muss.The system according to the invention advantageously makes it possible for an artificial turf line according to the invention to be applied to the floor with a device and fastened in the floor. Such a harrow can be pulled, for example, from a conventional tractor from the agricultural sector. The provision of the furrowing device enables the formation of clean furrows in the ground into which the line inserting device can impress the folds of the artificial turf. This makes very fast application and attachment of the artificial turf line possible on the ground, without additional work steps are necessary. Since the artificial turf strip according to the invention can be stored, for example, rolled up, a long artificial turf line can be formed on the ground with the tillage device according to the invention, without having to supply another turf to the tillage device.

Bei einem derartigen Bodenbearbeitungsgerät kann ferner vorgesehen sein, dass die Furchenzieheinrichtung in eine Stellung versetzt werden kann, bei der die Furchenzieheinrichtung nur teilweise oder nicht in den Boden eingreift, so dass die Linieneinsetzvorrichtung die Kunstrasenbahn in bereits vorhandene Furchen einsetzt. Dies kann der Fall sein, wenn eine bereits gelegte Linie erneuert werden soll und nach dem Herausziehen der alten Kunstrasenbahn Furchen in dem Boden vorhanden sind.In such a harrow, it may further be provided that the furrow pulling device can be set in a position in which the furrow pulling device only partially or not engages in the ground, so that the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung uses the artificial turf in already existing furrows. This may be the case when an already laid line is to be renewed and furrows are present in the ground after the extraction of the old artificial turf.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Furchenzieheinrichtung aus mehreren rotierbaren Klingen besteht, wobei die Klingen vorzugsweise koaxial zueinander angeordnet sind. Das Vorsehen von rotierenden Klingen als Furchenzieheinrichtung hat den Vorteil, dass die für die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung der Kunstrasenbahnen vorteilhaften schmalen Furchen auf eine einfache Art und Weise durch einen Einschnitt in dem Boden gebildet werden können.According to the invention it can be provided that the furrow pulling device consists of several rotatable blades, wherein the blades are preferably arranged coaxially to one another. The provision of rotary blades as a furrow puller has the advantage that the narrow furrows that are advantageous for the inventive use of the artificial turf strips can be formed in a simple manner through an incision in the base.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass eine Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen der Kunstrasenbahn zu der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung an dem Bodenbearbeitungsgerät angeordnet ist, wobei sich vorzugsweise die Zuführeinrichtung zu der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung hin verjüngt. Auf diese Art und Weise ist ein Zuführen der Kunstrasenbahnen zu den Linieneinsetzvorrichtungen und Einsetzen der Kunstrasenbahn in den Boden auf eine vorteilhafte Weise möglich.It can be provided that a feed device for feeding the artificial turf web to the line inserting device is arranged on the tillage device, wherein the feed device preferably tapers towards the line inserting device. In this way, supplying the artificial turf to the line inserting devices and inserting the artificial turf in the ground is possible in an advantageous manner.

Die Zuführeinrichtung ermöglicht eine geordnete Zuführung der Kunstrasenbahn zu der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung, so dass das Bodenbearbeitungsgerät die Kunstrasenbahn geradlinig in den Boden einbringen kann. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn sich die Zuführeinrichtung zu der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung hin verjüngt, da die Kunstrasenbahn im Ausgangszustand wesentlich breiter ist als die durch das Einsetzen der Kunstrasenbahn in dem Boden gebildete Kunstrasenlinie.The feeder allows an ordered supply of the artificial turf to the line inserting device so that the tillage implement can bring the turf in a straight line into the ground. It is advantageous if the feed device tapers to the line insertion device, since the artificial turf is substantially wider in the initial state than the synthetic turf line formed by the insertion of the artificial turf in the ground.

Die Zuführeinrichtung kann aus zwei in einem Winkel zueinander angeordneten Führungsträgern bestehen, die auf die Linieneinsetzvorrichtung, vorzugsweise auf die Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung, ausgerichtet sind. Das Ausbilden der Zuführeinrichtung aus zwei Führungsträgern ermöglicht das Zuführen der Kunstrasenbahn auf eine vorteilhafte Weise.The feeder may consist of two guide carriers arranged at an angle with respect to one another, which are aligned with the line inserting device, preferably on the press-in edges of the line inserting device. The formation of the feed device from two guide carriers makes it possible to feed the artificial turf web in an advantageous manner.

Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein zwischen den Führungsträgern gebildeter erster Zwischenraum in einen zweiten Zwischenraum zwischen den Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung übergeht, wobei der erste und zweite Zwischenraum an die Aufnahme eines Faserabschnitts der Trägerbahn der Kunstrasenbahn angepasst ist.It can be provided that a formed between the guide carriers first intermediate space merges into a second intermediate space between the Eindrückkanten the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung, wherein the first and second intermediate space is adapted to receive a fiber portion of the carrier web of the artificial turf.

Dadurch wird in vorteilhafter Weise ermöglicht, dass die Falten der Kunstrasenbahn, die in die Furchen in dem Boden eingesetzt werden, gebildet werden, indem die Seitenabschnitte der Kunstrasenbahn um die Führungsträger und die Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung gelegt wird. Durch das Aufnehmen des Faserabschnitts der Trägerbahn der Kunstrasenbahn in dem ersten und zweiten Zwischenraum wird der Faserabschnitt umgeschlagen und beim Einsetzen der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Falten der Kunstrasenbahn in die Furchen steht ausreichend Material des Faserabschnitts der Trägerbahn zur Verfügung, so dass die Trägerbahn in dem Faserabschnitt nicht reißt. Der Faserabschnitt wird somit auf dem zwischen Furchen in dem Boden befindlichen Bodenabschnitt abgelegt, so dass dieser Teil des Bodens bedeckt wird.This advantageously makes it possible to form the folds of the synthetic turf sheet inserted into the furrows in the ground by laying the side portions of the synthetic turf sheet around the guide beams and the indentation edges of the line inserting device. By receiving the fiber portion of the carrier web of the synthetic turf in the first and second spaces, the fiber portion is turned over and upon insertion of the inventively provided folds of the artificial turf in the furrows, sufficient material of the fiber portion of the carrier sheet is available so that the carrier web does not tear in the fiber portion , The fiber portion is thus deposited on the bottom portion located between furrows in the ground, so that this part of the ground is covered.

Die Linieneinsetzvorrichtung und/oder die Zuführeinrichtung können Führungsmittel zum Führen der Kunstrasenbahn aufweisen, derart, dass im Gebrauch die Falten der Kunstrasenbahn um die Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung gelegt werden und der Faserabschnitt der Kunstrasenbahn in den ersten Zwischenraum zwischen den Führungsträgern und/oder in den zweiten Zwischenraum zwischen den Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung gedrückt wird.The line inserter and / or feeder may include guide means for guiding the synthetic turf such that in use the folds of the synthetic turf are laid around the indentation edges of the line inserter and the fiber portion of the synthetic turf is inserted into the first space between the guide rails and / or into the second space is pressed between the Eindrückkanten the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung.

Auf diese Weise wird der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Einsetzvorgang unterstützt und eine fehlerunanfällige Arbeitsweise der Bodenbearbeitungsmaschine gewährleistet, da die Führungsmittel die Kunstrasenbahn in die für den Einsetzvorgang vorteilhafte Form drücken.In this way, the insertion process provided according to the invention is supported and an error-prone operation of the tillage machine is ensured, since the guide means press the artificial turf in the form advantageous for the insertion process.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Bodenbearbeitungsgerät eine hinter der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung angeordnete Walze aufweist. Mit Hilfe der Walze kann die in den Boden eingesetzte Kunstrasenbahn weiter befestigt werden, indem mit Hilfe der Walze die Furchen in den Boden zusammengedrückt werden.Preferably, it is provided that the harrow comprises a roller arranged behind the line insertion device. With the help of the roller, the artificial turf used in the ground can be further fixed by pressing the furrows into the ground with the aid of the roller.

Ferner sieht die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden vorzugsweise einem Rasensportplatz mit folgenden Schritten vor:

  1. a) Bilden von zwei parallelen Furchen in den Boden,
  2. b) Ausrichten einer Kunstrasenbahn auf die Furchen, wobei die Kunstrasenbahn aus einer textilen Trägerbahn besteht, die einen Faserabschnitt mit abstehenden Kunstrasenfasern und zwei Seitenabschnitte aufweist,
  3. c) Umlegen der Seitenabschnitte zu jeweils einer Falte,
  4. d) Eindrücken der Falte in jeweils eine der Furchen in den Boden zum Befestigen der Kunstrasenbahn, derart, dass der Faserabschnitt zumindest teilweise einen Bereich des Bodens überdeckt und die Kunstrasenfasern von dem Faserabschnitt zum Bilden der Kunstrasenlinie abstehen.
Furthermore, the invention provides a method for forming an artificial turf line on a floor, preferably a lawn sports field, comprising the following steps:
  1. a) forming two parallel furrows in the soil,
  2. b) aligning an artificial turf line with the furrows, the artificial turf line consisting of a textile carrier web having a fiber section with protruding artificial turf fibers and two side sections,
  3. c) transferring the side sections to a respective fold,
  4. d) impressing the fold in each one of the grooves in the ground for fixing the artificial turf, such that the fiber portion at least partially covers a portion of the ground and the artificial turf fibers protrude from the fiber portion to form the artificial turf line.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglicht das Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden in vorteilhafter Weise. Durch das Vorsehen von zwei parallelen Furchen, in die Falten einer Kunstrasenbahn hineingedrückt werden, kann die Kunstrasenbahn zum Bilden der Kunstrasenlinie auf eine einfache Art und Weise in dem Boden befestigt werden. Dadurch, dass der Teil der Kunstrasenbahn, von dem die Kunstrasenfasern abstehen, zumindest teilweise einen Bereich des Bodens überdeckt, wird verhindert, dass Naturrasen oder Unkraut zwischen den Kunstrasenfasern hervorwachsen kann und somit das Erscheinungsbild der Kunstrasenlinie stört. Unkraut und Naturrasen müssen daher nicht zwischen den Kunstrasenfasern entfernt werden.The method according to the invention makes it possible to form an artificial turf line on a floor in an advantageous manner. By providing two parallel grooves in which folds of an artificial turf are pressed, the artificial turf for forming the artificial turf line can be fixed in the ground in a simple manner. The fact that the part of the artificial turf, from which the artificial turf fibers protrude, at least partially covers an area of the ground, prevents natural turf or weeds between the turf fibers can grow and thus disturbs the appearance of the artificial turf line. Weeds and natural grass therefore do not have to be removed between the artificial grass fibers.

Bei der Erfindung ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Kunstrasenbahn eine Kunstrasenbahn gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist.In the invention, it is preferably provided that the artificial turf is an artificial turf according to the present invention.

Auch kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein erfindungsgemäßes Bodenbearbeitungsgerät zum Bilden der Kunstrasenlinie verwendet wird.It can also be provided that a tillage device according to the invention is used to form the artificial turf line.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren einen weiteren Schritt aufweist:

  1. e) Walzen des Bodens, derart, dass die Furchen in dem Boden zusammengedrückt werden.
It is preferably provided that the method according to the invention comprises a further step:
  1. e) rolling the soil such that the furrows in the soil are compressed.

In Fig. 1 ist eine nicht beanspruchte Kunstrasenbahn 1 zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden 14, vorzugsweise einem Rasensportplatz, schematisch in einer perspektivischen Ansicht gezeigt. Die Kunstrasenbahn 1 ist im Ausgangszustand dargestellt. Die Kunstrasenbahn 1 besteht aus einer langgestreckten textilen Trägerbahn 3, auf der mehrere Kunstrasenfasern 9 als Faserbündel 5 angeordnet sind. Die Faserbündel 5 sind in mehreren Reihen 7 angeordnet und stehen von der Oberfläche 8 der textilen Trägerbahn 3 ab.In Fig. 1 is an unclaimed synthetic turf 1 for forming an artificial turf line on a floor 14, preferably a grass sports field, shown schematically in a perspective view. The artificial turf 1 is shown in the initial state. The artificial turf 1 consists of an elongated textile carrier web 3, on which a plurality of artificial turf fibers 9 are arranged as fiber bundles 5. The fiber bundles 5 are arranged in a plurality of rows 7 and project from the surface 8 of the textile carrier web 3.

Die textile Trägerbahn 3 ist in einen Faserabschnitt 6, in dem die Kunstrasenfasern 9 in Form von Faserbündeln 5 angeordnet sind und zwei Seitenabschnitte 4 unterteilt. Der Faserabschnitt 6 und die Seitenabschnitte 4 sind dabei parallel angeordnet und erstrecken sich in Längsrichtung der textilen Trägerbahn 3.The textile carrier web 3 is divided into a fiber section 6, in which the artificial grass fibers 9 are arranged in the form of fiber bundles 5 and two side sections 4. The fiber section 6 and the side sections 4 are arranged in parallel and extend in the longitudinal direction of the textile carrier web third

Zum Befestigen der Kunstrasenfasern 9 bzw. der Faserbündel 5 an dem textilen Trägerelement 3 sind mehrere sich in Längsrichtung der textilen Trägerbahn 3 erstreckende parallele Lochreihen 10, die jeweils aus mehreren Löchern 10a bestehen, angeordnet, in die die Kunstrasenfasern 9 bzw. die Faserbündel 5 eingefädelt sind.For fixing the artificial turf fibers 9 or the fiber bundles 5 to the textile carrier element 3, a plurality of parallel rows of holes 10 extending in the longitudinal direction of the textile carrier web 3, each consisting of a plurality of holes 10a are arranged, into which the synthetic turf fibers 9 or the fiber bundles 5 are threaded are.

Die textile Trägerbahn 3 kann aus nahezu jeder Art von textilem Stoff hergestellt sein, sofern dieser Stoff gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen widerstandsfähig ist. Der textile Stoff kann ein Webstoff, ein Filzstoff oder auch ein Vliesstoff sein.The textile carrier web 3 can be made of almost any type of textile fabric, provided that this substance is resistant to environmental influences. The textile fabric may be a woven fabric, a felt or a nonwoven fabric.

Die Kunstrasenfaserelemente und die Kunstrasenfasern können aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt sein, beispielsweise Polyethylen, Polyamid oder Polypropylen. Vorzugsweise ist der für die Kunstrasenfasern ausgewählte Kunststoff gegenüber UV-Strahlen stabil.The synthetic turf fiber elements and the synthetic turf fibers may be made of a plastic, for example polyethylene, polyamide or polypropylene. Preferably, the plastic selected for the artificial grass fibers is stable to UV rays.

In den Fign. 2 und 3 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn 1 im in dem Boden eingesetzten Zustand dargestellt. Durch das Einsetzen in dem Boden, beispielsweise einem Rasensportplatz, bildet die Kunstrasenbahn 1 eine Kunstrasenlinie auf dem Boden 14. In den Boden 14 sind zwei Furchen 15 geschnitten.In the FIGS. 2 and 3 an embodiment of an artificial turf 1 according to the invention is shown in the inserted state in the ground. By inserting in the ground, for example a grass sports field, the artificial turf 1 forms an artificial turf line on the floor 14. In the bottom 14, two furrows 15 are cut.

Furchen im Rahmen der Erfindung können jegliche langgestreckte Vertiefungen in einem Boden sein, beispielsweise auch eine Rille, ein Spalt oder ein Schlitz.Ridges in the invention may be any elongated depressions in a floor, for example also a groove, a gap or a slot.

Die erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenbahn 1 wird in dem in den Boden 14 eingesetzten Zustand durch eine Klemmwirkung der Furchen 15 in dem Boden 14 fixiert. Dazu kann vorgesehen sein, dass eine in den Boden 14 eingesetzte Kunstrasenbahn 1 durch eine Nachbehandlung des Bodens 14 stärker fixiert wird, indem beispielsweise der Boden 14 gewalzt wird, um zu bewirken, dass die Furchen 15 zusammengedrückt werden. Bei den in den Fign. 2 und 3 gezeigten Darstellungen der erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn 1 sind die Furchen 15 relativ weit geöffnet dargestellt. Diese Darstellung dient nur Erläuterungszwecken und gibt nicht zwangsweise die reale Form der Furchen wieder.The artificial turf 1 of the invention is fixed in the ground 14 in the state by a clamping action of the grooves 15 in the bottom 14. For this purpose, it may be provided that an artificial turf 1 inserted into the floor 14 is fixed more strongly by a subsequent treatment of the floor 14, for example by rolling the floor 14, in order to cause the furrows 15 to be compressed. In the in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown representations of the artificial turf 1 of the invention, the furrows 15 are shown relatively wide open. This illustration is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily the real form of the furrows again.

Die erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenbahn 1 weist zwei Falten 17 auf, die in die Furchen 15 in dem Boden 14 eingesetzt sind. Die Falten 17 werden durch ein Umschlagen der Seitenabschnitte 4 gebildet. Die Falten 17 der Kunstrasenbahn 1 sind dabei so ausgebildet, dass der Faserabschnitt 6 mit den Kunstrasenfasern 9 den Teilbereich 14a des Bodens 14 überdeckt.The synthetic turf 1 according to the invention has two folds 17 which are inserted into the grooves 15 in the bottom 14. The folds 17 are formed by folding over the side sections 4. The folds 17 of the synthetic turf 1 are formed so that the fiber portion 6 with the artificial turf fibers 9 covers the portion 14 a of the bottom 14.

Die auf dem Teilbereich 14a des Bodens 14 befindlichen Rasen- bzw. Unkrautpflanzen werden dadurch überdeckt und daran gehindert, die Kunstrasenfasern 9 zu überwuchern.The lawn or weed plants located on the subarea 14a of the soil 14 are thereby covered and prevented from overgrowing the artificial grass fibers 9.

Wie am besten aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, in der die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Kunstrasenbahn aus einer anderen Ansicht gezeigt ist, kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trägerbahn 3 aus einem textilen Stoff hergestellt ist, der von Wurzeln 18 der umgebenden Rasenpflanzen durchdrungen werden kann, so dass die Wurzeln 18 der Rasenpflanzen die erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenbahn zusätzlich in dem Boden fixieren.How best Fig. 3 it can be seen in which the in Fig. 2 shown, it can be provided that the carrier web 3 is made of a textile material, which can be penetrated by roots 18 of the surrounding turf plants, so that the roots 18 of the turf plants additionally fix the artificial turf of the invention in the ground ,

In Fig. 4 ist eine einzelne Kunstrasenfaser schematisch im Detail dargestellt. Die Kunstrasenfaser 9 ist in sich verdreht, d.h. sie weist einen verdrehten Querschnitt auf. Durch einen derartigen verdrehten Querschnitt weist die Kunstrasenfaser eine verbesserte Elastizität sowie eine höhere Steifigkeit auf, so dass die Kunstrasenfaser 9 in dem im Boden eingesetzten Zustand der Kunstrasenbahn 1 vorteilhaft von der Trägerbahn 3 abstehen. Die erhöhte Elastizität bewirkt, dass eine mechanische Belastung der Faser beispielsweise durch einen auf die Kunstrasenlinie auftreffenden Ball oder einen Sportler, der auf die Kunstrasenlinie tritt, nicht umknicken, d.h. sich plastisch verformen, sondern lediglich einer elastischen Verformung unterzogen werden und sich nach der Belastung wieder in den Ausgangszustand zurückverformen.In Fig. 4 is a single artificial turf fiber shown schematically in detail. The artificial turf fiber 9 is twisted in itself, ie it has a twisted cross-section. By such a twisted cross section, the artificial turf fiber has an improved elasticity and a higher rigidity, so that the artificial turf fiber 9 protrude in the inserted state in the ground of the artificial turf 1 advantageously from the carrier web 3. The increased elasticity causes a mechanical load of the fiber, for example, by a hit on the artificial turf line ball or an athlete who comes on the artificial turf line, not kinked, ie plastically deform, but only subjected to elastic deformation and again after the load to deform back to the initial state.

Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, können die Kunstrasenfasern 9 gebildet werden, indem ein Filament 9a durch zwei benachbarte Löcher 10a in der textilen Trägerbahn 3 von der der Oberfläche 8 der abgewandten Seite 12 der textilen Trägerbahn 3 aus eingesteckt wird, so dass die beiden Enden des Filaments 9a die Kunstrasenfasern 9 bilden. Auf der der Oberfläche 8 abgewandten Seite 12 der textilen Trägerbahn 3 kann das Filament 9a und somit die Kunstrasenfasern 9 verklebt, verschweißt oder vernäht sein. Auch ist es möglich, dass bei der Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn 1 mehrere Filamente 9a gleichzeitig durch zwei benachbarte Löcher 10a gesteckt werden, so dass zwei Faserbündel 5 von Kunstrasenfasern 9 gebildet werden.How out Fig. 4 can be seen, the synthetic turf fibers 9 can be formed by a filament 9a is inserted through two adjacent holes 10a in the textile carrier web 3 from the surface 8 of the opposite side 12 of the textile carrier web 3, so that the two ends of the filament 9a the Artificial grass fibers 9 form. On the side facing away from the surface 8 12 of the textile carrier web 3, the filament 9a and thus the artificial grass fibers 9 may be glued, welded or sewn. It is also possible for a plurality of filaments 9a to be inserted simultaneously through two adjacent holes 10a in the production of the synthetic turf web 1 according to the invention, so that two fiber bundles 5 are formed by synthetic turf fibers 9.

Auf diese Weise ist die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn auf eine einfache Art und Weise und sehr schnell möglich.In this way, the production of the artificial turf of the invention in a simple manner and very quickly possible.

Die Kunstrasenfasern 9 können im Rahmen der Erfindung sowohl einzeln in den Reihen 7 angeordnet sein als auch in Fasernbündeln 5 aufgereiht sein.The artificial grass fibers 9 may be arranged individually in the rows 7 as well as strung in fiber bundles 5 within the scope of the invention.

In den Fign. 5 und 6 ist eine schematische perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Bodenbearbeitungsgeräts 20 zum Einsetzen einer erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn in einen Boden dargestellt.In the FIGS. 5 and 6 is a schematic perspective view of a harrow 20 according to the invention for inserting an artificial turf invention in a ground shown.

Das Bodenbearbeitungsgerät 20 kann in herkömmlicher Weise hinter einer nicht dargestellten Zugmaschine gezogen werden.The harrow 20 may be pulled in a conventional manner behind a tractor, not shown.

Das Bodenbearbeitungsgerät 20 ist an einem Rahmen 22 befestigt und weist eine Furchenzieheinrichtung 40 mit zwei Furchenzieher 24 auf.The harrow 20 is attached to a frame 22 and has a furrow puller 40 with two furrow pullers 24.

In Fahrtrichtung hinter der Furchenzieheinrichtung 40 ist eine Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 vorgesehen, die zwei mit einem Abstand zueinander und nebeneinander angeordnete Eindrückkanten 44 aufweist. Die Fahrtrichtung des Bodenbearbeitungsgeräts ist in den Fign. 5 und 6 durch einen Pfeil angegeben. Die Eindrückkanten 44 sind jeweils so ausgebildet, dass die Falten 17 der Seitenabschnitte 4 der Kunstrasenbahn 1 um die Eindrückkanten 44 legbar und somit von der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 in die Furchen 15 in den Boden 14 einsetzbar sind.In the direction of travel behind the furrow pulling device 40, a Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 is provided, which has two with a distance from one another and juxtaposed Eindrückkanten 44. The direction of travel of the harrow is in the FIGS. 5 and 6 indicated by an arrow. The Eindrückkanten 44 are each formed so that the folds 17 of the side portions 4 of the artificial turf 1 can be laid around the Eindrückkanten 44 and thus of the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 in the grooves 15 in the bottom 14 can be used.

Bei dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Bodenbearbeitungsgeräts sind die Furchenzieher jeweils als eine rotierbare Klinge ausgeführt, die koaxial zueinander angeordnet sind.At the in Fig. 5 illustrated embodiment of the tillage device according to the invention, the furrow pullers are each designed as a rotatable blade, which are arranged coaxially with each other.

Im oberen Bereich der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 ist eine Zuführeinrichtung 28 zum Zuführen einer erfindungsgemäßen Kunstrasenbahn 1 angeordnet, die aus zwei voneinander beabstandeten Führungsträgern 30 besteht. Die Führungsträger 30 sind zumindest teilweise in einem Winkel zueinander angeordnet und auf die Eindrückkanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 ausgerichtet.In the upper region of the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42, a feed device 28 for supplying an artificial turf 1 according to the invention is arranged, which consists of two spaced-apart guide carriers 30. The guide beams 30 are at least partially disposed at an angle to each other and aligned with the indentation edges 44 of the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42.

Beim Zuführen der Kunstrasenbahn 1 werden durch die Führungsträger 30 und die Eindrückkanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 die Falten 17 gebildet, indem die Seitenabschnitte 4 der Kunstrasenbahn 1 um die Kanten der Führungsträger 30 und die Eindrückkanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 beim Zuführen gelegt wird. Dabei wird der Faserabschnitt 6 der Kunstrasenbahn 1 von einem ersten Zwischenraum 32 zwischen den Führungsträgern 30 und einem zweiten Zwischenraum 46 zwischen den Eindrückkanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 aufgenommen und in diese Zwischenräume hineingedrückt bzw. in diesen gehalten, so dass die Falten 17 der Kunstrasenbahn 1 eng um die Führungsträger 30 und die Kanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 anliegen.When supplying the artificial turf 1, the folds 17 are formed by the guide beams 30 and the indentation edges 44 of the line inserter 42 by laying the side portions 4 of the synthetic turf 1 around the edges of the guide beams 30 and the indentation edges 44 of the line inserter 42 during feeding. In this case, the fiber portion 6 of the artificial turf 1 is taken up by a first space 32 between the guide beams 30 and a second space 46 between the indentation edges 44 of the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 and pressed into these spaces or held in these, so that the folds 17 of the artificial turf 1 narrow around the guide beams 30 and the edges 44 of the Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 abut.

An der Zuführeinrichtung 28 und/oder an der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 sind Führungsmittel 48 zum Führen der Kunstrasenbahn 1 vorgesehen, um ein enges Anliegen der Falten der Kunstrasenbahn 1 um die Eindrückkanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 zu gewährleisten. In dem in Fign. 5 und 6 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bestehen die Führungsmittel 48 aus einer Führungsplatte, die in dem ersten Zwischenraum 32 und dem zweiten Zwischenraum 44 angeordnet ist, wobei zwischen der Führungsplatte und den Führungsträgern bzw. den Eindrückkanten 44 der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung 42 Spalten 43 vorgesehen sind, durch die die Kunstrasenbahn 1 gelegt werden kann.Guiding means 48 for guiding the artificial turf 1 are provided on the feeder 28 and / or on the line inserting device 42 in order to ensure a close contact of the folds of the artificial turf 1 around the press-in edges 44 of the line inserting device 42. In the in FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrated embodiment, the guide means 48 consist of a guide plate, which is arranged in the first space 32 and the second gap 44, 42 gaps 43 are provided between the guide plate and the guide beams or the Eindrückkanten 44 of Linieneinsetzvorrichtung through which the artificial turf 1 laid can be.

In Fahrtrichtung gesehen hinter den Furchenziehern 24 kann eine nicht dargestellte Walzeinrichtung vorgesehen sein, die den Boden mit der eingesetzten Kunstrasenbahn nachbearbeitet, um beispielsweise die Furchen zusammenzudrücken, um eine bessere Fixierung der Kunstrasenbahn in dem Boden zu gewährleisten.As seen in the direction of travel behind the furrow tractors 24, a rolling device, not shown, may be provided, which reworks the ground with the artificial turf used, for example, to compress the furrows to ensure better fixation of the artificial turf in the ground.

Es können auch andere Führungsmittel vorgesehen sein, die die Kunstrasenbahn in die entsprechend gewünschte Form drücken. Die Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung weisen einen Abstand auf, der so gewählt ist, dass der Faserabschnitt der Kunstrasenbahn in dem gebildeten Zwischenraum aufgenommen und somit gewährleistet wird, dass die Falten vor dem Einsetzen in dem Boden eng an den Eindrückkanten der Linieneinsetzvorrichtung anliegen.It can also be provided other guide means which press the artificial turf in the corresponding desired shape. The indentation edges of the line inserting device are spaced so as to accommodate the fiber portion of the synthetic turf sheet in the formed gap, thus ensuring that the folds are tight against the indenting edges of the line inserter prior to insertion in the bottom.

Ein derartiges Bodenbearbeitungsgerät hat den Vorteil, dass der Furchenziehvorgang und der Einsetzvorgang der Kunstrasenlinie in einem Arbeitsgang durchgeführt wird. Darüber hinaus wird die mit einem derartigen Bodenbearbeitungsgerät eingesetzte Kunstrasenbahn nur gering belastet, da die Kunstrasenbahn nur in die Furchen hineingedrückt wird.Such a harrow has the advantage that the furrowing operation and the insertion process of the artificial turf line is carried out in one operation. In addition, the artificial turf used with such a harrow is only slightly loaded, since the artificial turf is pressed only in the furrows.

Die Erfindung stellt ferner ein Verfahren zum Bilden einer Kunstrasenlinie auf einem Boden, vorzugsweise einem Rasensportplatz zur Verfügung. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren sieht folgende Schritte vor:

  1. a) Bilden von zwei parallelen Furchen in den Boden,
  2. b) Ausrichten einer Kunstrasenbahn auf die Furchen, wobei die Kunstrasenbahn aus einer textilen Trägerbahn besteht, die einen Faserabschnitt mit abstehenden Kunstrasenfasern und zwei Seitenabschnitte aufweist,
  3. c) Umlegen der Seitenabschnitte zu jeweils einer Falte,
  4. d) Eindrücken der Falte in jeweils eine der Furchen in den Boden zum Befestigen der Kunstrasenbahn, derart, dass der Faserabschnitt zumindest teilweise einen Bereich des Bodens überdeckt und die Kunstrasenfasern von dem Faserabschnitt zum Bilden der Kunstrasenlinie abstehen.
The invention further provides a method for forming an artificial turf line on a ground, preferably a grass sports field. The method according to the invention provides the following steps:
  1. a) forming two parallel furrows in the soil,
  2. b) aligning an artificial turf line with the furrows, the artificial turf line consisting of a textile carrier web having a fiber section with protruding artificial turf fibers and two side sections,
  3. c) transferring the side sections to a respective fold,
  4. d) impressing the fold in each one of the grooves in the ground for fixing the artificial turf, such that the fiber portion at least partially covers a portion of the ground and the artificial turf fibers protrude from the fiber portion to form the artificial turf line.

In einem weiterhin optionalen Schritt kann vorgesehen sein, dass nach dem Eindrücken der Falten in die Furchen in dem Boden, der Boden gewalzt wird, derart, dass die Furchen in dem Boden zusammengedrückt werden.In a further optional step, it may be provided that after impressing the folds in the furrows in the ground, the ground is rolled such that the furrows in the ground are compressed.

Auf diese Weise kann eine stärkere Fixierung der Kunstrasenbahn in dem Boden gewährleistet werden. Bei dem Verfahren kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kunstrasenbahn eine erfindungsgemäße Kunstrasenbahn ist. Auch kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Verfahren mit Hilfe eines erfindungsgemäßen Bodenbearbeitungsgerätes durchgeführt wird.In this way, a stronger fixation of the artificial turf in the ground can be ensured. In the method can be provided that the artificial turf is an artificial turf of the invention. It can also be provided that the method is carried out with the aid of a soil cultivation device according to the invention.
