ES2216714A1 - Mantle-support lawn base for use in e.g. park, has grass planting support arranged in thin layer of organic compound mixtures and plant, where mantle layer, base, damping medium and drainage turf surface are determined - Google Patents

Abstract

The base has plant pots (3), rubber granules (2) and organic compound mixtures that are obtained from recycled automotive tire that is made of rubber. A removed soil layer (1) is placed on a substrate. A grass planting support (5) is arranged in a thin layer of the organic compound mixtures and plant, where a mantle layer, a base body, a damping medium and a drainage turf surface are determined. A compost layer (4) is supported on a mat layer. A coating part is obtained from an organic/vegetable mixture.

Description

Mantle-support base for grass surfaces.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a base support for grass surfaces, and more specifically to a layer obtained based on a mixture of organic or vegetable compots and rubber granules, these obtained in the recycling of automotive tires and rubber, where the base-mantle is applied as a layer on the ground properly conditioned, and on that layer of mantle-base the grass is planted on which spread a thin layer of organic or vegetable compost and all compacted by the passage of rollers, so that the base-mantle is under the grass and constitutes a medium shock absorber, shock and falls, reducing considerably soil compaction and providing a better grass drainage.

The object of the invention is to provide a mantle-base, in which it intervenes as a component fundamental the rubber obtained in the recycling of tires and of other objects, finding special application in places in those who practice sports on grass, such as  sports (football, rugby, golf), parks and related places.

Background of the invention

Fields or turf places for practice of sports, they require some care, means and elements to keep the lawn in perfect condition, always in an attempt to dampen forces, falls and blows and thereby avoid serious injuries for athletes.

Specifically one of the most important care is to avoid excessive soil compaction, hence the use of turf in sports facilities, whose purpose is not other than to avoid excessively hard terrain.

Obviously, all the care, means and elements required to keep the lawn in optimum conditions, it implies a very high maintenance cost, since irrigation, as one of the premises to be carried out to maintain the lawn in good condition, it means a waste of water, some facilities and also requires a precise amount of water, since  the purpose of irrigation is that the lawn is perfectly maintained rooted and produce a softening of the ground on which it goes To practice the sport. Naturally, excess water can make the opposite effect to the desired one, because it can be too slippery or produce a lawn waterlogging and a excessive compaction after drying.

Lawn care is also carried out in based on its aeration, although this method presents the inconvenience that cannot be done often since carries with it a weakening of the roots of the lawn and the disunity of the latter with the substrate.

You try to keep a lawn in optimum conditions, in certain places or sports facilities, such as football, rugby and similar fields, based on locating a layer or layer of sand to offer great drainage and aeration, although this system requires a benign climate, since On the contrary, when the grass is used it weakens and the uprooting it, since the sand layer does not offer the sufficient compaction to keep the rooted secure of the grass, when it is stepped on and is subjected to the use of athletes.

Description of the invention

The mantle that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, and it will constitute a layer under the surface of the lawn, which not only will determine a means of damping for forces, blows and falls, but it will also mean a means that allows a optimum turf drainage, favoring greater and more growth deep in the roots, with higher grass densities and so much more resistant to foot traffic, and in turn will look considerably reduced soil compaction, which is another of the conditions that are required on turf surfaces where sports are developed, such as soccer, golf, etc.

More specifically, the mantle of the invention is based on the composition of a mixture of organic compots or vegetable and rubber granules, obtained from the recycling of automotive and rubber tires, obtained in that recycling and by mechanical systems, the shredding of rubber to get pieces of minimum size known as shot, all this in such a way that the mantle in question, that is the mixture of the rubber granules and the compots will form a layer under the grass, which will reduce maintenance, water consumption, of fertilizers, favoring the drainage of the lawn, in addition to constitute a damping medium, resulting in a surface Safer sports.

In the application of the mantle-base referred, whose mixture of organic or vegetable compots and rubber granulate will be variable, depending on the degree of damping that it is desired to achieve, it is required to remove the substrate to facilitate the grip, and on that removed substrate the mixture is spread or organic rubber and compots mantle, leaving a uniform layer and compacted on which the grass is planted and on it is spread a layer of organic or vegetable compost to match and compact, keeping the mantle of the invention under the grass, with advantages such as those already mentioned and that can be summarized in the following:

-

Reuse or recycling of a material such as rubber, without it in the process of transformation pollutant emissions occur at environment, since the process is based on crushing or cutting rubber mechanic or rubber in a purely mechanical process where The resulting products are of high quality and clean of everything type of impurities, since the products are separated from the tire such as rubber, steel and wool, facilitating the use of these materials and new applications.

-

Very fast and ease of linking the mantle of the invention with the floors or native substrates, which translates into a soil resistant.

-

Reduction considerable of soil compaction.

-

Increase the power of grass drainage

-

It favors a greater and deeper root growth, with densities older grass, which is resistant to traffic foot.

-

Reduction considerable maintenance, water and fertilizer consumption in Lawn care.

-

Shock absorber forces, blows and falls, which means that the surface of the grass planted on the mantle becomes a surface Safer sports.

-

Cloak Duration far superior to that offered by other types of layers that are located currently under the grass.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, it is accompanied as an integral part of said
description, a single sheet of plans where an illustrative and non-limiting character has shown a sectional detail of a lawn plantation using as a support base the mantle of the
invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figure, the mantle of the invention constitutes a layer (1) that is arranged on a properly removed substrate, mantle that is formed by a mixture of rubber granule (2) and organic or vegetable compots (3), so that this mantle or layer will serve as a support on which the lawn (5) is sown and on it a thin layer of organic or vegetable compost (4).

This way you can get a surface of grass whose maintenance requires less care and results also more resistant and strengthened than grass surfaces conventional, since the layer (1) that constitutes the mantle of rubber (2) and organic or vegetable compots (3 and 4), form a base shock absorber support that not only allows easy drainage of grass, but also favors the deepest growth of the roots, so the lawn (5) in question will be more resistant. In short, by using the base coat of the mixture of rubber granules (2) and organic or vegetable compots (3 and 4), softer soils than conventional ones are achieved, resulting from special application in places where they are practiced grass sports, such as sports fields, golf, parks, etc.

Claims (1)

l. Base support for grass surfaces, characterized in that it consists of a mixture of organic or vegetable compots (3) and rubber granules (2) obtained from the recycling of automotive and rubber tires, to determine on a removed substrate or soil a layer (1) of support for the planting of the lawn (5) on which a thin layer of organic or vegetable compost (4) is spread, determining the base layer or mantle (1) a buffer and drainage means for the lawn surface.
