Abstract

Artificial turf comprising: (I) a first layer of agglomerated asphalt or granite material; (II) a second anti-grass layer consisting of a mesh that limits the growth of natural grass under the lawn; and (III) a third layer or synthetic grass blanket, which in turn comprises silica sand, in such a way that weight is given to said third layer and allows the synthetic fiber of the turf to be kept straight; and characterized in that said third layer or synthetic turf blanket, in turn, comprises an additional layer with an organic material.

Description

Artificial grass.

Object of the invention

The purpose of this utility model is a artificial grass of the type used in both decorative fields as in sports fields, with the particularity that said grass, instead of incorporating the uncomfortable rubber granulate, incorporates coconut fiber or grain.

Prior art

In the current state of the art they are reported artificial lawns comprising a mat, or primary layer of grass, on which a plurality of leaves are woven synthetic material, so that leaves protruding from a side of the mat, creating a lawn. This lawn is complemented with a filler material disposed between said sheets, comprising said filling material a measured amount of loose product obtained from a starting material based on rubber.

This material has a plurality of drawbacks, among which, as an example, its origin is usually of ground tire, extracted from the pneumatic recycling plants, being therefore a product highly toxic In addition, this product requires a high consumption of water, since it takes very high temperatures and it is necessary to be constantly watering so that users do not burn grass. Another important environmental problem that generates the use of rubber in artificial turf is its recycling after its use on artificial turf, since there are no facilities appropriate for it.

Rubber is a highly abrasive product, what which damages its use in sports facilities. Similarly, your Smell is strong and highly unpleasant for the players. This strong smell also implies special conditions in terms of safety and hygiene for lawn installers.

When an activity occurs on rubber, there are some mounds in it (sensation known as of boat) generating a significant risk of injury to players, especially in knee and ankles. Similarly, said mounds hinder the ball bounce, when sport is practiced of that type on its surface.

Explanation of the invention.

The artificial turf that advocates the present utility model comprises a first agglomerate base, based in asphalt or gravel materials; a second mesh anti-weed, configured to avoid the presence of natural grass that harms artificial turf; and a third grass layer or blanket made of synthetic material, which is complemented with silica sand, so that weight is given to the blanket and allowing straight the synthetic fiber of the lawn, and that characterized in that said third layer or blanket of synthetic grass, to in turn, comprises an additional layer of an organic material, preferably coconut.

To date, as indicated, instead of Coconut has been using rubber, with the usual toxicity of same, both towards users and towards the environment, also generating unpleasant odors and side effects of heat absorption and turf heating, which by Coconut use as a substitute is solved, generating benefits additional as a better effect on the tread and an improvement of behavior in case of user fall.

Throughout the description and the claims the word "comprises" and its variants not they intend to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be partly detached of the description and in part of the practice of the invention. The following examples and drawings are provided by way of illustration, and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In addition, the present invention covers all possible combinations of particular and preferred embodiments indicated herein.

Detailed presentation of an embodiment

In a practical embodiment of the present utility model, artificial grass comprises: (i) a first layer of asphalt or granite agglomerated material; (ii) a second anti-weed layer consisting of a mesh that limits the growth of natural grass under grass; and (iii) a third layer or grass blanket of synthetic material, which in turn it comprises silica sand, so that weight is given to said third layer and keep straight the synthetic fiber of the lawn; and characterized in that said third layer or grass blanket synthetic, in turn, comprises an additional layer with a material to Coconut base, in the form of grain or form of fibers and / or strands.

The grass thus described is sustainable environmentally, since coconut is an essentially material organic. This feature allows easy recycling of product, given that coconut, it is even possible to use it as fertilizer natural.

This product does not need a high contribution of Water. Water consumption in this product is very low, retains a 97% humidity, and with the morning dew is enough for Keep cool

This grass is not abrasive, and its smell is natural, wood. Nor does it cause injuries, given its characteristics, since it avoids the vibrations that are generated with the rubber and, therefore, the joints do not suffer.

Finally, it should be noted that the lawn like this described requires a more comfortable installation since, on the one hand It is not toxic for operators and on the other hand weighs less than lawns that use rubber.
