Definitions

  • the invention relates to elastic layers - in particular, elastic layers providing support for a sports floor.
  • Sports floors such as artificial turf, playground floors or other types of floors used in leisure time facilities typically are elastic and have some shock absorbing properties. A broad variety of sports floors exists.
  • Artificial turf or artificial grass is surface that is made up of fibers, and is used to replace real grass.
  • the structure of the artificial turf is designed such that the artificial turf has an appearance that resembles grass.
  • artificial turf is used as a surface for sports such as soccer, football, rugby, tennis, and golf, and for playing fields and exercise fields. Furthermore, artificial turf is frequently used for landscaping applications.
  • Artificial turf may be manufactured using techniques for manufacturing carpets. For example, artificial turf fibers, which have the appearance of grass blades, may be tufted or otherwise integrated into a carrier. Often, artificial turf infill is placed between the artificial turf fibers. Artificial turf infill is a granular material that covers the bottom portion of the artificial turf fibers.
  • the invention provides for an elastic layer (alternately “e-layer” and “elastic layer” throughout), for a flooring structure comprising the same, and for a method of manufacturing the elastic layer as specified in the independent claims.
  • Embodiments are given in the dependent claims. Embodiments and examples described herein can freely be combined if they are not mutually exclusive.
  • the invention relates to an elastic layer for use as a support layer for a sports floor.
  • the elastic layer is made from a mixture of fibers, elastic granules, and a binder.
  • the fibers have a much higher surface-to-mass ratio than, for example, the rubber granules, and hence provide for an e-layer with a higher tensile strength than elastic layers merely comprising elastic granules do.
  • the fibers connect different regions of the e-layer with each other and provide for a homogeneous distribution of any impacting force across a large surface area. For example, the force of the impact of a ball or the force of a player's foot during sudden braking or change of direction is distributed by the fibers within the elastic layer over a comparatively large area. This reduces the wear and tear of the elastic layer (and the sports floor lying on top of it), protects the players from injuries, and improves the movement behavior of the ball.
  • the protective effect of the fibers is particularly beneficial in temperate climate zones in which many freeze-thaw cycles are observed each year. This is because the frequent freeze-thaw cycles damage the stone substrate onto which the elastic layer and/or the sports floor is placed. Larger cracks and holes are created by water that has managed to penetrate the base layer, because when water freezes to ice, it has a larger volume and may thus burst even concrete or stone over the years. If a ball hits a sports floor that has been laid on an uneven base layer with larger cracks or holes, or if the base layer has aged over many years after the sports floor has been installed at the use site, the ball can damage the elastic layer and/or the sports floor at places that lie above such a hole.
  • the elastic granules are rubber granules - in particular, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) granules and/or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber granules.
  • SBR styrene-butadiene rubber
  • EPDM ethylene propylene diene monomer
  • the fibers are non-stretchable.
  • non-stretchable fibers provide for an e-layer with particularly high tensile strength.
  • many synthetic fibers like nylon are basically non-stretchable at room temperatures.
  • the fibers have a random orientation within the binder.
  • the fibers have a length of at least 1 cm. Preferably, the fibers have a length of at least 2 cm.
  • more than 60% of the fibers have a length of 1-5 cm, preferably 3-4 cm.
  • Fibers whose length is within this range have been observed to provide an e-layer with high tensile strength. Fibers of even greater length may not significantly further improve the tensile strength, because they may exceed the dimensions of the e-layer in at least one direction (the vertical direction) and/or because at a length of about 3-4 cm, the fibers will basically span the entirety of the e-layers in all directions such that no significant volume in the e-layer is free of the fibers.
  • the fibers have different lengths.
  • the fibers can comprise fibers whose lengths are in the range of 0.5-1.5 cm and fibers whose lengths are in the range of 3-5 cm.
  • the fibers can comprise fibers whose lengths are basically identical to the height of the e-layer +/-10% and can fibers whose lengths are more than twice the height of the e-layer.
  • the height of the e-layer is at least 6 mm, preferably at least 9 mm.
  • the height of the e-layer may depend on the intended use of the floor structure comprising the e-layer.
  • the height of an e-layer of an artificial turf that is to be used for soccer is preferably about 20 mm to 35 mm.
  • the height of an e-layer of an artificial turf that is to be used for a golf court is preferably about 10 mm to 15 mm.
  • the height of the e-layer is in the range of 8 mm - 40 mm, in particular 10-35 mm, in particular 20-35 mm.
  • the length difference between the maximum or average length of the shortest 10% of the fibers and the maximum or, respectively, average length of the longest 10% of the fibers can be at least 3 cm, e.g., at least 4 cm.
  • the small fibers can be oriented freely and randomly in all directions, including the vertical direction, thereby also increasing the tensile strength in that vertical direction.
  • these fibers would be forced to adopt a horizontal orientation, e.g., from left to right or vice versa, or from front to back or vice versa, but not a vertical one because the height of the e-layer may be less than the length of the fiber.
  • the long fibers significantly increase the tensile strength of the e-layer, but may not all be oriented randomly within the e-layer because their length may be greater than the height of the e-layer.
  • a combination of short and long fibers may be particularly advantageous as the combination may ensure a random orientation of at least a fraction of the fibers and at the same time a significant increase in the tensile strength of the e-layer, in particular in a horizontal direction.
  • the fibers are plant fibers.
  • the plant fibers can be jute fibers, hemp fibers, flax fibers, bamboo fibers, kapok fibers, corn silk fibers, sisal fibers, coconut fibers, cotton fibers, cellulose fibers, or mixtures thereof.
  • an environmentally friendly and cheap fiber type may provide for an e-layer whose CO 2 footprint is smaller than that of conventional e-layers for artificial turf.
  • the fibers are synthetic fibers.
  • the synthetic fibers can be, for example, polyethylene fibers, polyamide fibers, polypropylene fibers, nylon fibers, polyester fibers, glass fibers, fibers made of rubber (e.g. Ethylen-Propylen-Dien (EPDM) rubber, Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)), or mixtures thereof.
  • EPDM Ethylen-Propylen-Dien
  • SBR Styrene Butadiene Rubber
  • the fibers are mixtures of plant fibers and synthetic fibers.
  • the synthetic fibers comprise a nucleating agent.
  • the nucleating agent can be an inorganic substance (e.g., talcum, kaolin, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, silicate, silicic acid, silicic acid ester, aluminum trihydrate, magnesium hydroxide, meta- and/or polyphosphates, and coal fly ash).
  • the nucleating agent is an organic substance (e.g., 1,2-cyclohexane dicarbonic acid salt, benzoic acid, benzoic acid salt, sorbic acid, or sorbic acid salt).
  • the nucleating agent can increase the surface roughness of synthetic fibers, thereby strengthening the adhesion of the binder to the fiber surface. This may improve the homogeneous spreading of impacting forces over a larger area of the e-layer.
  • the synthetic fibers comprise unaged (i.e., newly produced) or aged (i.e., used) artificial turf fibers or artificial turf fiber fragments.
  • the unaged artificial turf fibers are preferably production waste (e.g., fibers whose color or profile does not fulfill the requirements of a customer or of the manufacturer).
  • the fibers are a mixture of plant fibers and synthetic fibers. This may allow using environmentally friendly plant fibers as far as technically and/or economically possible and supplementing the plant fibers with at least a small fraction of synthetic fibers, which may be more robust against biodegradation than plant fibers are.
  • the binder is a polyurethane (“PU”) binder.
  • the invention relates to a floor structure comprising the elastic layer of any one of the embodiments and examples described herein.
  • the floor structure further comprises the sports floor.
  • the sports floor is placed on top of the elastic layer.
  • the invention in a further aspect, relates to a method of manufacturing an elastic layer for use as a support layer of sports floor.
  • the method comprises providing a liquid mixture comprising fibers, elastic granules, and a liquid binder.
  • the sports floor can be, for example, artificial turf or a playground floor or a floor of a recreational facility.
  • the sports floor can be, according to other examples, a foamed or non-foamed PU layer.
  • the sports floor is a layer of sand, infill, clay or other loose material.
  • the sports floor has a height of at least 1 cm, preferably at least 2 cm.
  • the sports floor is a thin material layer of less than 0.5 cm, e.g. less than 1mm, e.g. a coating layer, so the elasticity and other relevant parameters of a sports floor is largely provided by the elastic layer itself.
  • the method further comprises applying the liquid mixture onto a base layer and allowing the mixture to solidify.
  • the solidification can be the result of the binding of the binder (e.g., the curing of a PU reaction mixture used as the binder).
  • the method further comprises filling the liquid mixture into one or more molds, allowing the binder to bind, thereby causing the mixture to solidify in the one or more molds, thereby creating tiles which can be laid on a base layer at the use site.
  • allowing the mixture to harden involves leaving it at a temperature of about 15-25°C for one or more hours.
  • allowing the binder to bind involves heating the mixture to increase the speed of the PU-generating reaction and the solidification.
  • the mixture may be heated to above 50°C.
  • the e-layer may be fabricated in tile-shaped molds which can optionally be heated to increase the solidification speed. When the e-layer tiles in the molds have solidified, they are removed from the molds and transported to the use site, where they are laid to provide the e-layer.
  • the base layer can be, for example, soil, sand, concrete, or mixtures thereof.
  • the base layer can likewise be wood or an existing floor pavement.
  • the base layer can be an indoor or outdoor base layer.
  • the base layer is an outdoor base layer.
  • the e-layer can be applied in situ (e.g., by generating a liquid mixture of the elastic granules, the fibers, and the binder at the use site a short time (within 1 hour or less) before the liquid mixture is applied onto the base layer).
  • the liquid mixture has self-leveling capabilities and may optionally be leveled actively with the help of a leveling device.
  • the e-layer is manufactured at a manufacturing plant (e.g., in the form of e-layer rolls or tiles).
  • the rolls or tiles are transported to the use site and laid on the base layer of that use site.
  • the e-layer tracks generated by the e-layer rolls and the e-layer tiles are attached to the base layer.
  • the e-layer roll or the e-layer tiles are glued, tacked, nailed, or otherwise fixed to the base layer.
  • the invention relates to a method of installing a sports floor.
  • the method comprises manufacturing the elastic layer in accordance with embodiments of the invention described herein. Then, a sports floor layer is placed on top of the elastic layer.
  • the sports floor is glued, nailed, tacked, or otherwise fixed onto the e-layer. This may prevent the sports floor from being moved relative to the e-layer.
  • the sports floor is applied onto the e-layer after the e-layer has solidified, as this eases the application, fitting, and handling of the sports floor.
  • the sports floor is applied before the e-layer has completely solidified.
  • elasticity refers to the ability of a material to recover its original dimensions, and to return to its original shape, after being subjected to a stress. Solid objects will deform when adequate forces are applied to them. If the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size when these forces are removed.

  • a "critical height" of a surface is a physical property of a surface or layer that is defined as the maximum fall height from which a life-threatening head injury would not be expected to occur". Fall height is defined as the vertical distance between a designated play surface and the playground surface beneath it. Fall heights of various kinds of play equipment are identified in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) publication " Public Playground Safety Handbook” in Section 5 under each type of equipment. Critical height is determined by a combined measurement of acceleration (shock) of an impact and the duration of the impact as it relates to head injury.
