DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the same number is assigned to the same element throughout the description of the embodiment.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a turf curing cover of the present invention. The turf curing cover of the present invention is formed by, for example, injection molding and used by joining a plurality of turf curing covers adjacent to each other.

  In FIG. 1, among the plurality of turf curing covers 10 arranged so as to cover the lawn surface, four turf curing covers 10 are illustrated in a state of being joined to each other. For this reason, the part which protrudes from these four turf curing covers 10 is the lawn surface 20.

  Each turf curing cover 10 has a plate-like body 11 and, as will be described later, ribs (in FIG. 3) protruding from the plate-like body 11 on the surface (back surface) facing the lawn surface 20 of the plate-like body 11. The plate-like body 11 and the rib 12 are formed by integral molding of a resin material. The rib 12 has a function as a leg for placing the plate-like body 11 so as to float with respect to the lawn surface 20.

  Here, the resin material contains fine paper powder. The fine paper dust is indicated by reference numeral 13 in the enlarged view of the alternate long and short dash line frame P in FIG. The resin material includes, for example, at least polypropylene, and the fine paper powder 13 has an average particle diameter of 100 μm or less and is contained in a weight ratio of 20% or more with respect to the resin material.

  By containing the fine paper powder 13 in the resin material constituting the turf curing cover 10, it is possible to suppress the expansion of the turf curing cover 10 due to heat, and to prevent the surface from becoming slippery when it rains. It comes to have an effect.

  Each lawn curing cover 10 is provided with a joining member 30 on each of the four sides for joining with another lawn curing cover 10 disposed adjacent thereto. For example, two joining members 30 are provided on each side. As will be described in detail later, these joining members 30 are formed on one turf curing cover 10 side, a sliding member 30A whose tip can protrude from one side of the turf curing cover 10, and the other adjacent to the turf curing cover 10. An engaging groove 30B that is formed on the grass curing cover 10 side and engages the tip of the sliding member 30A. Thereby, the several lawn curing covers 10 can be arrange | positioned adjacent to each other in the state in which they were combined. In FIG. 1, each turf curing cover 10 has two sliding members 30 </ b> A on each of the adjacently arranged orthogonal sides, and two on each of the other adjacently arranged orthogonally arranged sides. The engaging groove portion 30B is provided. These joining members 30 will be described later in detail.

  Further, each turf curing cover 10 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 40 distributed almost evenly. This through hole 40 is a hole through which sunlight passes, and the lawn surface 20 below the turf curing cover 10 is irradiated through the through hole 40 with sunlight. In addition, this through-hole 40 also has an effect of preventing slipping of the surface of the turf curing cover 10.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one turf curing cover 10. In FIG. 2, a rib 12 </ b> A is formed around the turf curing cover 10, and this rib 12 </ b> A is a part of the rib 12 described above. Thereby, when the plurality of turf curing covers 10 are arranged adjacent to each other, the ribs 12A corresponding to the side wall surfaces of the respective turf curing covers 10 are arranged in surface contact with each other.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a surface (hereinafter referred to as a back surface) facing the lawn surface 20 of the turf curing cover 10 shown in FIG. The ribs 12 formed on the back surface of the plate-like body 11 are constituted by the ribs 12A formed around the plate-like body 11 and, for example, lattice-like ribs 12B formed in a region surrounded by the ribs 12A. Has been. Thereby, the rib 12 is formed on the back surface of the plate-like body 11 so as to define an adjacent quadrangular (for example, square) region.

  Further, a plurality of joining members 30 for joining with other turf curing covers 10 are formed on the back surface of the turf curing cover 10, and sliding members 30A (not shown) are provided on the sides that are adjacently arranged at right angles. 1) and the other adjacent sides arranged orthogonally are formed with engaging groove portions 30B into which sliding members 30A of other turf curing covers protrude and engage. . The groove portion 30D and the engagement groove portion 30B are formed so as to extend orthogonally to the respective sides of the turf curing cover 10. Note that the lattice-like ribs 12B described above are formed so as to avoid the formation regions of the groove 30D and the engagement groove 30B.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing a portion of the one-dot chain line frame A of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the rib 12 has a portion having a high height and a portion having a low height with respect to the plate-like body 11. That is, for example, the vicinity of the corner of the rib 12A around the plate-like body 11 (indicated by α in the figure) and the vicinity of every other T-shaped intersection of the lattice-like rib 12B (in the figure, β In the vicinity of every other cross-shaped intersection in the grid-like ribs (indicated by γ in the figure), the height is increased, and the others are formed to have a lower height. . By doing in this way, the contact area of the rib 12 with the lawn surface 20 is made small, and the part which damages the lawn surface 20 is made as small as possible.

  FIG. 5A is a view showing a position where the through hole 40 is formed in a quadrangular region (indicated by T in the drawing) defined by the rib 12. For example, four through holes 40 are formed in one quadrangular region T, and each through hole 40 is a region in the vicinity of each apex S of the quadrangular region T (in this specification, the first hole Is called a region). FIG. 5B is a diagram showing the first region of the quadrangular regions surrounded by the ribs 12, and the first region is formed from the apex S of the quadrangle to the quadrangular region. When the distance to the center O is X, it is an area within the range of a distance of X / 2 from the quadrangle vertex S (the hatched area in the figure). Each of the four through holes 40 is arranged and formed in a first region formed in the vicinity of each vertex S of the quadrangular region T surrounded by the ribs 12.

  In the case of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the through hole 40 is formed only in the first region in the rectangular region T defined by the rib 12. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be formed in a region other than the first region. In this case, when the plurality of through holes 40 are formed in the quadrangular region T, the number of the through holes 40 in the first region is 70% or more among the plurality of through holes arranged in the quadrangular region. It is preferable to be formed in the ratio. Of course, it may be 80% or more, or 90% or more. Such a relationship is the same even if the region surrounded by the ribs 12 is not only a quadrangle but also a polygon.

  Each through-hole 40 formed in this way is formed close to the crossing portion of the rib 12 having a high mechanical strength of the plate-like body 11, so that the machine of the plate-like body 11 is formed by the formation of the through-hole 40. The fear of lowering the strength is lost. For this reason, when compared with the case where the through hole 40 is formed, for example, approximately in the center of the quadrangular region (corresponding to a portion having a low mechanical strength), the through hole 40 having a larger diameter can be formed. The effect of increasing the amount of sunlight guided to the lawn surface 20 through the through hole 40 is achieved.

  FIG. 6A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 5, and the light path through which the sunlight reaches the lawn surface 20 through the through hole 40 when the lawn curing cover 10 is disposed on the lawn surface 20. Is shown. Since the through-hole 40 is formed in the first region in the vicinity of the quadrangular apex S surrounded by the ribs 12B as described above, the light that is directly incident on the lawn surface through the through-hole 40. In addition to (indicated by the dotted arrow Q1 in the figure), light (indicated by the dotted arrow Q2 in the figure) that is reflected and diffused to the side surface 12S of the rib 12B disposed in the vicinity of the through hole 40 and reaches the lawn surface 20 is also obtained. It will exist greatly. For this reason, there is an effect of increasing the amount of sunlight reaching the lawn surface 20.

  6A, the through hole 40 has a small diameter D1 on the surface of the plate-like body 11 where the ribs 12B are not formed, and the rib 12B of the plate-like body 11 is formed. It has a large diameter D2 on the back surface, and is formed such that the increase in diameter is small from the front surface to the back surface, and the increase in diameter is large from the middle stage.

  By forming the through-hole 40 having such a cross-sectional shape, it is possible to suppress a decrease in mechanical strength on the surface of the plate-like body 11 and to increase the amount of sunlight irradiated on the lawn surface 20.

  From such a point of view, the cross-sectional shape of the through hole is, for example, as shown in FIG. 6B, the diameter is initially substantially equal from the front surface to the back surface of the plate-like body 11, and the diameter increases from the middle stage. You may make it form so that it may become large. Moreover, as shown in FIG.6 (c), by making the increase in the diameter of a through-hole into the same ratio from the surface to the back surface of the plate-shaped object 11, it has a small diameter on the surface and a large diameter on the back surface. You may make it form.
