BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ground cover structure for moving horses, in particular to a riding area, and to a method for making it. In this ground cover, the building foundation has a support layer, a response layer and a treadmill layer.

The structure of the ground cover shall be suitable not only for riding areas, but also for saddles, poles and the like.

A ground cover for moving horses is known from DE 38 39 543 A1. Accordingly, they proceed as follows. A drainage mat is placed on a substrate and a grid raster is placed on the drainage mat. The grid raster consists of unique rectangular boxes with a side length of 625 mm and a height of partition of 100 mm. Box-shaped lattice elements are partitioned and stiffened diagonally by partitions. The vertical corner edges of the square grid elements are joined in a chessboard-like manner. The lattice raster thus formed is filled with a porous lava rock gravel as a carrier layer to the top edge, which ensures the drainage of water. Then a cover is poured.

The disadvantage of this known soil cover is that it can only be compacted to a certain extent without losing the water-conducting properties of the lava-gravel filled into the grid raster. If you ride on such a heavy-duty ground cover, the cover layer mixes with the chips, as the raster is much larger than the horsehair. As a result, the drainage layer is blocked. In addition, the upper narrow surfaces of the sidewalls may become exposed, which can cause the horse to slip and be injured, especially when jumping. In addition, conventional chippings are unsuitable as a treadmill and are therefore avoided.

The structure of the pavement structure of riding facilities can also be found in HOFFMANN, Gerlinde and WAGNER, Hans-Dietrich: Orientierungshilfe hoar Reitanlagen- und Stallbau (Information book for the construction of equestrian facilities and stables) (5th edition, FN-Verlagen DE DEERCHENCHEN, DEF Verlag, DE , pp. 125-134). Here the structure consists of a building base and a superstructure. The basis of the construction is a substructure, which may be filled with material. The necessary drainage is laid in the building foundation.

Then the surface of the building foundation is leveled and slanted. Subsequently, a support layer is applied, a response layer is applied to the support layer, and a tread layer is applied to the response layer. The substrate serves as a safety-resistant undercoat. Since it must be water permeable and antifreeze, coarse gravel is used here. The substrate may be omitted if the foundation itself meets these requirements. The function of the response layer is to drain and store water. The response layer is made of water-permeable mineral concrete or water-permeable asphalt. The treadmill layer is then applied to the response layer.

The response layer made of concrete or bitumen is prone to clogging. This requires expensive cleaning. If this cleaning is no longer possible, a new structure must be built. The riding area built in this way is very expensive.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a ground cover structure for moving horses, in particular a ground cover structure for horse riding, and a process for making it which is simple and inexpensive, very stable and has good water control capability.

According to the present invention, this object is achieved by placing a lattice slab on the building foundation in order to create said order of layers in the ground cover structure of the kind described above, namely the carrier layer, the response layer and the tread layer. The grid layer consists of a base plate with openings (bottom openings) and downwardly opening columnar glass elements (cells) on the base plate that partially surround the openings. The apertures have a diameter greater than or equal to the inside of the cup elements. The cup elements have a diameter of 35 mm or more. A treadmill layer material is applied to or applied to the grid plate layer and the grid plate layer. As a treadmill layer material, materials known per se for horse riding superstructures, such as wood chips, sand or sand containing additives, serve to fill the cup elements and simultaneously form the treadmill layer, the carrier layer and the response layer together with the lattice layer.

The advantage of the present invention is, in particular, that the lattice plate layer, together with the components of the tread layer material in the glass elements, performs both the function of the support layer and the function of the response layer. Dimensions take into account the size of the horse.

By virtue of these mechanical and structural properties, the filled lattice sheet layer can perform the function of the support layer.

Another and very important advantage is that the lattice layer is permeable to water through the openings. Thus, together with the material contained in the cup elements, it functions as a response layer in the sense that it is permeable to water and drains excess water.

The grid plate may be of one-piece or multi-piece design. In the case of a one-piece structure, the base plate together with the openings and the glass elements above them are made in one piece. In the case of a multi-part structure, the base plate is made with the openings and the individual cup elements are fixed thereon.

Suitable materials for the grid layer include metals, coated or refined metals, plastics, or recycled plastics and combinations thereof. The bottom grille is antifreeze. The openings are large enough to prevent the risk of clogging. Based on its configuration and other described properties, the bottom lattice sheet layer meets all shear strength requirements, i.e. has sufficient resistance to the inclined forces created by the hoofs of running and jumping horses.

A further advantage is that the cup elements increase step safety and the forces acting on the response layer can be applied so that the stepping layer does not slip on the response layer and the support layer. When a horse's hooves step onto a structure so trained, the treadmill layer has shear strength relative to the response layer and the carrier layer. Another very important advantage is that the grid layer can be laid directly on a substantially flat ground, which may be partially grassy. So the ground is the foundation of the building. The grid layer ensures that the load passes through the surface to the ground rather than point-by-point. Thus, it works against the compacting of the building foundation.

According to the present invention, the grid sheet consists of bottom grid plates which are interconnected and provided with an integrated baseplate. The bottom lattice plates consist of a plurality of honeycomb-like, interconnected cup elements (cells) provided with a bottom opening in the sealing base. The inner diameter of the cup elements is roughly the same as the diameter of a horsehair.

In addition to hexagons, the cup elements may be rectangular or other polygonal, circular, oval, ellipsoidal and / or other shapes. The cup elements may partially surround the openings, for example, octagonal. One side is now open.

Preferably, the height of each cup member and the length of its side walls are approx. 34 mm (+ - 5 mm), preferably with a wall thickness of approx. 1.5 ... 15 mm. These dimensions result in a very stable lattice layer that can handle heavy loads. The bottom openings are water-permeable, so that the assembled bottom lattice sheets serve as a response layer and a support layer.

There are recesses in the walls of the cup elements, approximately the middle of each of the upper edges of the walls. These recesses prevent the horseshoe from sliding out of the exposed lattice layer. The recesses on the upper edges of the cup elements also have the effect of allowing moisture stored inside the cup elements to escape more easily.

Bottom lattice slabs are lightweight and can be easily and quickly laid (one person can lay 40 m ² slabs per hour). Thus, not only prominent sports clubs, but also rural equestrian associations or individuals have the opportunity to build a substrate suitable for the movement of horses, that is, a riding ground or the like, which meets the highest demands.

Preferably, the water permeability and water storage are controlled by the collar facing the cup member in the bottom opening. If water is present on the treadmill layer, this water is directed downwardly so that it enters the boundary layer beneath the motherboard and discharges through the openings as excess water. The collar, which is variable in height, allows water to be stored in this part of the cup elements. The effect of this is that the moisture remaining in the treadmill layer can be controlled in a fully controlled manner.

Preferably, the upper edges of the walls of each cup member are at least partially provided with an elastic layer. This elastic layer dampens the movement energy that comes from the impacting horsehorses. The elastic layer acts elastically and additionally prevents slipping.

Preferably, the bottom plate of the bottom lattice sheet is at least partially provided with a second resilient layer. The two elastic layers can be applied to both sides of each cup element. As a result, an elastic layer may be provided on one or both sides of the grid sheet. Such elastic layers are particularly advantageous for equestrian jumping and equestrian activities.

Preferably, each bottom lattice plate is provided with fasteners. For example, there may be a recess on the outside of at least every second closed corner formed by walls inclined relative to one another. This recess is at an angle formed between two mutually inclined walls of the same row of cups, with a complementary T-shaped hook having a chamfer on its shoulder.

The connecting elements make it possible to connect the individual floor slabs in a very simple and force-tight manner. As a result, the two extreme elements are adjacent to each other, resulting in greater strength of the grid. In addition, the interconnectors thus formed ensure that a closed and particularly flat grid layer is formed.

Thus, the use of bottom lattice panels offers the following outstanding advantages:

- lack of costly earthworks,

- the laying of the floor slabs and the application of the treadmill layer can be carried out in their own overhead,

- the weight of the bottom grid plates is low (about 5 kg / m ² ) and the bottom grid plates can be easily and simply laid,

- reduced total construction costs,

- the bottom grilles are versatile,

- reusable bottom plates,

- the bottom slabs are ideally combined with stability and the necessary flexibility,

- the wrist load is close to the natural wrist load,

- the bottom grilles form a reservoir, so less irrigation is needed in summer,

- good drainage and therefore less dust load,

- good step safety and high shear strength,

- the bottom grilles are weatherproof.

It is advantageous to apply sand to the building foundation before laying the grid layer and to place the grid layer on it. Suitable as sand filler sand or similar (see relevant DIN standard).

The sand is sprinkled in a 50 to 200 mm thick layer on flat, at least partially planted soil, and then smoothed and leveled. The bottom openings of the sand and the cup elements ensure that the water entering the treadmill is directed in a controlled manner. For example, if a riding area is built in a place where there is a lot of water, the thickness of the sand layer is preferably larger. This allows for very controlled drainage and storage of water in the tread layer.

Preferably, as a construction substrate, a layer of fur and / or sand is laid on a flat and inclined surface of a substrate with the grid plate and the tread layer on top of that. Drainage equipment may be placed in the substrate in a known manner. These two measures, together with a specially trained grid layer, ensure the controlled uptake, drainage, storage and removal of water through the drainage system to the dedicated manholes.

The object of the present invention in terms of the process is solved by placing a layer of lattice plate on a building foundation comprising a plate with openings. The openings on the system board are at least partially surrounded by glass elements. Then, a tread layer material is applied to the lattice sheet and the lattice sheet layer.

An advantage of the process according to the invention is primarily that the structure of the moving surface is limited to two layers. The lattice layer and the tread layer material deposited on the substrate form a support layer, a response layer and a tread layer. Expensive earthworks may be missed.

The base of the foundation can be sandwiched between 50 and 200 mm thick. The height of the treadmill layer material, measured from the top edge of the walls of the bottom grid panels, is 80 to 130 mm, preferably approx. 100mm. Both the sand layer and the tread material can be properly leveled and leveled.

It is noted at this point that the bottom lattice plates of European Patent Application EP 04 00 158 A1, US Patent 4,621,942, German Patent Application DE 86 22 303 U1 and European Patent Application EP 51 69 957 A1. documents. They have a substantially honeycomb-like configuration and consist of a plurality of chambers having an opening at the bottom. There are recesses in the side walls. The individual bottom grid plates can be joined together by means of connecting elements. These bottom lattice sheets are designed as lawn lattice sheets and are used to create green (grassy) surfaces, particularly at car drives, on roads, at stops, at the edges of roads. The lawn chambers are not completely filled with earth and the resulting surface is sown with grass seed. The role of the upper edges of the side walls is to protect the grass growing in the chambers from being damaged when they step on the green surface. The grass can reach through the hole in the bottom to the ground below. The recesses in the side walls allow the grass to grow from one chamber to another.

The riding structure of Figure 1 consists of a building base 50 over which a superstructure 60 is provided.

The main component of the 50 building blocks is the 52 substrates. A drainage device 54 may be laid in the substrate 52. The drainage device 54 consists of a drainage pipe 54.1 and 54.2 having a drainage shaft on one side and connected to a collecting line 54.3 on the other side as shown in FIG. The collecting line 54.3 flows into a collecting pit 54.4. The drainage device 54 is constructed in detail in known manner, i.e. the drainage pipes must be laid with a certain slope of at least 0.3%. The drainage ditches must be filled with permeable materials. Subsequently, the substrate 52 receives a surface 51 by straightening and simultaneously forming a slope. The slope of the surface 51 can be formed as a gable, semi-gable or hinged gable. If the surface 51 is a gable, one or more drainage pipes 54.1 and 54.2 are provided on the lateral sides of the surface. The drainage pipes 54.1 and 54.2 can also be placed directly on the edges of the surface as shown. When using a half-gable surface, only one drainage pipe should be placed on the oblique side of the gable. In the case of a hinged saddle-shaped surface 51, the drainage pipes are arranged in annular form.

Place the superstructure on surface 51. A fur strip 53 may then be applied to the surface 51. This is a special waterproof and waterproof coat known as GEOTEX. This separates the superstructure from the superstructure. A layer of sand 56 is then applied to the web 53 or directly to the surface 51. The use of sand or other conductive materials ensures the drainage of excess water. The thickness of the sand layer 56 mentioned above depends on the foundation or the material or system used. It is also possible to omit the webbing 53, drainage and / or sand layer 56 if the foundation 50 itself has the required properties.

To the building base 50 thus prepared, a layer of lattice plate 63 is laid. For this purpose, a novel bottom lattice plate 1 is used. 4-7. 1 to 4, each bottom lattice plate 1 is made up of one piece and is composed of a plurality of honeycomb-like, polygonal, i.e. hexagonal, cup elements 2 (cells). The base 3 of each cup element 2 is provided with a substantially circular bottom opening 4. The bottom opening 4 may be surrounded by a collar 7 (see also Figures 5 and 7). The collar 7 allows the formation of a water reservoir on the bottom 4 'of the cup member 2 when the cup members 2 are filled with tread material.

After this reservoir is filled, excess water enters through the collar 7 through the bottom opening 4 into the underlying sand layer 56. Preferably, the bottom lattice sheet 1 is made of a non-corrodible and antifreeze plastic. Each of the walls 5 forming the cup elements 2 has a top semicircular recess 6. The recess 6 serves, on the one hand, to distribute and drain excess water stored in each cup element 2 and, on the other hand, contributes to stability and anti-slip action.

The one-piece bottom lattice panel 1 may be joined by connecting elements to the adjacent bottom lattice panel. The connecting elements are located on opposite sides of the two bottom grid plates 1 so that on one side of the bottom grid plate 1 there are hook elements 9, 9 'which engage in recesses 8 in the adjacent bottom grid plate. If a hanging member 9 is two walls 5 having a defined angle. , the hook member 9 is formed with suitable chamfering.

Each pair of bottom lattice panels 1 may be provided with a plurality of pairs of hanging members 8, 9, 9 'in opposite directions on each side of the panel.

Fig. 5 shows separately the collar 7 surrounding the bottom opening 4, the semicircular recesses 6 in the walls 5 and the recess 8 in the base plate 3 and the mating part of the walls 5. The front collar of the shoulder-mounted hanger 9 can be inserted into the recess so that it is connected to an adjacent bottom grid plate 1. The recesses 6 extend from the surface level n of the bottom lattice plate to a depth t. Depth, rounding, width, and the like may be determined by the particular application conditions. The collar 7 can also be varied from the bottom level B of the bottom 4 'to a height H. The collar height is selected according to the specific water control conditions.

6 and 7, an elastic layer 10 may be applied to the bottom surface of the bottom lattice sheet n in accordance with Figs. The elastic layer 10 may be of a certain width and height, rubberized, elastic plastic or the like. The dimensions and elasticity of this elastic layer 10 depend on the particular loading conditions that occur. In the same way, an additional elastic layer 10 can be placed under the bottom plate 6 of the bottom lattice plate. The elastic layer 10 may then be formed either as the layer 11 already described or may be softer or less elastic. The layer 10 can be made more flexible by applying, for example, a particular soft rubber, foam rubber or similar material to a thickness equal to 50% of the height of each cup element.

From the bottom lattice sheets 1 thus formed, the recesses 8 and the hanging elements 9, 9 'are mutually hooked on to the sand layer 56 applied to the sand layer 56 as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Bottom lattice slabs 1 can be laid simply and quickly (one person can lay 40 m ² slabs per hour). The bottom lattice panels 1 are also stable and can be loaded up to 100 t / m ² . These good properties, in particular the high load capacity, can be achieved by the height and length of each of the walls 5 of each cup element 2 being approx. 34 mm and wall thickness approx. 3 ... 5 mm. It will be understood that the size and / or wall thickness of the cup member 2 may be different. The glass elements may have a wall length of between 31 and 65 mm. In this case, the hexagonal honeycomb walls of the cup members 2 will have a distance of 52 to 97 mm between the opposite walls of the cup member, and a distance of 60 to 115 mm between two opposite corners.

For rectangular honeycomb shapes, the distance between the opposing walls of the cup member will be 31 to 65 mm, and the distance between two opposing corners will be 44 to 63 mm. The values depend on the specific load conditions and the expected size of the horse.

The tread layer material 61 is applied to the grid plate layer 63 and the cup elements 2 are filled with the tread layer material 61 (see Figure 3). Depending on the nature and intensity of use, the tread layer 62 has a thickness of 8 to 13 cm. The treadmill layer material 61 generally consists of the following (see HOFFMANN and WAGNER i.m.):

- sand has less shear strength (elasticity) and is more susceptible to dusting in dry conditions compared to wood-plastic blends with pure sand layers,

- with sand additives additives such as lumber (softwood) or plastics • ·

- 16 - .....

they are used to improve step strength and water storage capacity (dust retention),

- shavings (with abrasive) clean wood shavings are pleasant to make in the first years and hardly dust, but after a few years there is a danger of decay.

When designing the 61 treadmill material, the center of gravity of use must be taken into account: it must be harder for jumping and folding, and slightly softer for riding. These properties can be varied with the sand used and the proportion of additives.

It is important to use suitable sand! Recommended approx. Use river sand (possibly washed) with a 0/3 particle size with as little as possible zero (clay, sludge particle). In assessing suitability, in particular, the particle size distribution, in addition to the particle size, particle shape and surface, shall be considered.

Wood additives include woodchips, sawdust, wood chips, frame sawdust, etc. comes into consideration. On a slice suitable for riding areas, flat (1 ... 2 mm thick), approx. Wood particles 2 to 7 cm long and 0.5 to 33 cm wide are meant. Depending on the quality of the sand, the type of sandwich used and the type of use, the proportion is 10 ... 50% by volume, of which at least 50% is coarser (1 ... 2 mm thick, 5 ... 7 mm long) and not more than 25% is finer (coarse sawdust).

A special option is the use of long-stranded chipboard, which sticks well. A loose top layer is then formed over a relatively solid portion of the tread layer 62. However, such tread layers 62 are difficult to maintain.

Optionally, recycled material, such as plastic residues, may also be used in the known manner.

The various components of the treadmill material 61 should preferably be applied pre-mixed as the desired mixing will not occur, or only after a very long time, by riding on it.

By depositing the bottom lattice sheets 1 as a lattice sheet layer 63 whose cup elements 2 are subsequently filled with the tread layer material 61, the lattice sheet layer thus formed functions as a response layer 65. This response layer 65 has a particular role in the structure of the riding order layer. Its special design makes it water permeable and can drain excess water. Since the diameter of the bottom openings 4 is greater than or equal to the distance between the two opposing cupboard walls, there is no risk of pore clogging in the formed response layer 65. The conductivity and drainage of the response layer 65 can be varied by the sand layer 56 below.

The lattice plate layer 63, whose glass elements 2 are filled with the tread layer material 61 when the tread layer material is applied, also functions as a support layer 64. The support layer 64 serves as a stable lower layer of the tread layer 62. Due to its special design, it is water-permeable, drains excess water and is antifreeze. Its thickness and construction are determined by the height and construction of the bottom lattice slabs, so that, with a load capacity of up to 100 t / m3, they meet the prescribed requirements, regardless of the load-bearing capacity of the foundation.

Depending on the constituent elements of the tread layer material placed therein and thereon, the lattice layer layer may perform the function of both the support layer 64 and the response layer 65. Thus, the training of the riding area thus designed and built up will be particularly advantageous, particularly in terms of high load capacity and extremely low construction costs.

The superstructure 60 thus produced has the advantage that when a horse 100 is stepped on the tread layer 62, as shown in particular in Figures 1 and 2, the force distribution 101 is such that the tread layer 62 has the required shear strength against inclined forces, and the hooves do not damage the backbone of the carrier layer 64. Further, the roughness of the response layer and the support layer is such that the tread layer 62 cannot slip on them.

Another very important advantage is that water 70 passes through the tread layer 62 and from there to the glass elements 2 of the tread layer layer filled with the appropriate materials, in particular the tread layer materials 61. Meanwhile, the bottom openings 4 of each cup element 2 act on the drain, the collar 7 and the recesses 6 on the water distributor. Water 70 is guided through the web 53 below the sand layer 56 to each of the drainage pipes 54.1 and 54.2 (see Figures 2 and 3). This water control system opens up another area of application of the bottom grille. We achieve that the treadmill layer 62 is not over-wetted, since the water that is deposited and redundant is immediately directed in the underlying layers,

- 19 - ......

it is led down to the drainage pipes and then drained into each manhole.

In addition, the bottom lattice sheets 1 ensure that some uniform residual moisture remains in the tread layer, so that the tread layer 62 can be easily and safely prepared. In addition, a more uniform and economical use of the spray water for wetting the tread layer 62 is achieved. This makes it easier and less expensive to maintain the riding area.

It is possible to apply a lattice layer 63 and a tread layer 62 applied to a flat base 52 already. If the ground below has adequate drainage properties, a horse riding area can be produced by very simple means.

In addition, it is important that the introduction of the elastic layers 10 and 11 together with the lattice plate layer 63 allows for a significant improvement or change in the quality of the riding area.

In addition, the particle size of each material used and the size of the wood additives may be varied depending on and in cooperation with the lattice layer 63. Simple experiments determine the composition, particle size and thickness of the elastic layers and the depth t of the recesses 6. Although the honeycomb-like bottom lattice sheet 1 exhibits optimum strength, deposition, and fluid drainage properties, the bottom lattice sheet may also have a square, rectangular, or circular structure. Then the cup elements 2 have the shape corresponding to them.
