Description

IMPLANT D'HERBE SYNTHETIQUE POUR MARQUAGE AU SOL DE SURFACES ENGAZONNEES SYNTHETIC GRASS IMPLANT FOR LABELING OF ENGAZONNE SURFACES
La présente invention a trait à un élément de marquage implantable dans une surface engazonnée à des fins de signalisation ou de repérage.The present invention relates to a marking element which can be implanted in a turfed surface for signaling or location purposes.
On connaît déjà de tels éléments de marquage, appelés implants, constitués d'un corps susceptible d'être mis en place dans le sol et portant des touffes de brins d'herbe artificielle faisant saillie au dessus de la surface du sol, en particulier pour le marquage de limites de terrains de sport tels que des terrains de football. Par divers documents, tels que FR-A-2.618.345 - DE-A-35 37650 - DE-U-88 00186 et AT-B-371019, on connaît des dispositifs de marquage dont la structure générale est du type rappelé ci-dessus, mais qui sont en fait destinés à se substituer aux lignes de marquage traditionnelles réalisées avec une peinture ou un plâtre approprié.We already know such marking elements, called implants, consisting of a body capable of being placed in the ground and carrying tufts of blades of artificial grass projecting above the ground surface, in particular for marking the boundaries of sports fields such as football fields. By various documents, such as FR-A-2.618.345 - DE-A-35 37650 - DE-U-88 00186 and AT-B-371019, marking devices are known, the general structure of which is of the type mentioned above. above, but which are in fact intended to replace the traditional marking lines made with a suitable paint or plaster.
Les corps implantables de ces dispositifs sont importants, nécessitent le creusement de tranchées, constituent des blocs rigides à fleur de sol susceptibles de blesser les utilisateurs du terrain et d'être endommagés par les engins d'aération de la pelouse en particulier.The implantable bodies of these devices are important, require the digging of trenches, constitute rigid blocks flush with the ground capable of injuring the users of the ground and of being damaged by the aeration devices of the lawn in particular.
Par ailleurs, ces implants étant destinés à constituer par eux-mêmes les lignes de marquage, il est nécessaire de les aligner soigneusement, ce qui est long, fastidieux et quelquefois très difficile si le sous-sol est caillouteux. Il est également nécessaire que les touffes de brins d'herbe synthétique soient suffisamment denses et couvrent une surface suffisante ce qui pose inévitablement des problèmes notamment lors de la tonte de la pelouse.Furthermore, these implants being intended to constitute the marking lines by themselves, it is necessary to align them carefully, which is long, tedious and sometimes very difficult if the basement is stony. It is also necessary that the tufts of blades of synthetic grass are sufficiently dense and cover a sufficient surface which inevitably poses problems. especially when mowing the lawn.
Enfin, ces implants sont difficiles à extraire et, une fois retirés, on ne peut ultérieurement en remettre exactement au même endroit du fait que le sol a été remué. L'invention vise à proposer un nouveau type d'implant beaucoup plus simple de conception, beaucoup plus facile d'emploi, ne présentant pas les inconvénients des dispositifs connus et susceptibles d'une gamme d'applications autre que la simple constitution de lignes de marquage permanentes qui est l'unique application des dispositifs connus exposés plus haut.Finally, these implants are difficult to extract and, once removed, they cannot later be put back in exactly the same place because the soil has been moved. The invention aims to propose a new type of implant much simpler in design, much easier to use, without the drawbacks of known devices and capable of a range of applications other than the simple constitution of lines of permanent marking which is the only application of the known devices described above.
A cet effet, l'invention à pour objet un implant d'herbe synthétique pour marquage au sol de surfaces engazonnées, comprenant un corps destiné à être mis en place dans le sol et portant des brins d'herbe artificielle faisant saillie au dessus de la surface du sol, caractérisé en ce que ledit corps comporte une partie supérieure d'ancrage desdits brins présentant, l'implant étant en place, une face supérieure sensiblement affleurante à ladite surface du sol et une partie inférieure épointée.To this end, the invention relates to a synthetic grass implant for marking on the ground of turfed surfaces, comprising a body intended to be placed in the ground and carrying blades of artificial grass projecting above the ground surface, characterized in that said body comprises an upper part for anchoring said strands having, the implant being in place, an upper face substantially flush with said ground surface and a lower blunt part.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, la partie inférieure du corps de l'implant est conique et muni d'un filetage et la partie supérieure comporte des évidements coopérant avec un outil approprié permettant le vissage de l'implant dans le sol et son dévissage.According to a preferred embodiment, the lower part of the body of the implant is conical and provided with a thread and the upper part has recesses cooperating with a suitable tool allowing the screwing of the implant into the ground and its unscrewing.
Contrairement aux dispositifs connus, l'implant selon l'invention, dans son application au marquage de terrains de sport, ne constitue pas en lui-même la ligne de marquage, mais un simple repère permanent, disposé de place en place le long de la ligne théorique de délimitation du terrain, et permettant le marquage à la peinture ou au plâtre à la manière traditionnelle en suivant l'alignement des implants.Unlike the known devices, the implant according to the invention, in its application to the marking of sports fields, does not in itself constitute the marking line, but a simple permanent mark, arranged from place to place along the theoretical line defining the terrain, and allowing marking with paint or plaster in the traditional way by following the alignment of the implants.
On obtient ainsi, chaque fois que désiré, une ligne de marquage tout a fait traditionnelle, mais réalisée dans des temps très courts, facilement et avec la même précision et, surtout, sans recourir, ce qui était la règle systématiquement, après chaque tonte du gazon, au métrage et à la pose de cordeaux.We thus obtain, whenever desired, a completely traditional marking line, but carried out in very short times, easily and with the same precision and, above all, without recourse, which was the rule systematically, after each mowing of the grass, to the footage and to the installation of cords.
L'implant de l'invention est, par ailleurs, très facile à mettre en place, sans avoir à creuser ou préparer le sol et du fait de sa taille réduite, ne perturbe par le sol et ne constitue pas un obstacle ou corps dur suffisant pour gêner l'évolution des utilisateurs du terrain, ou l'entretien de ce dernier, tel que la tonte ou l'aération de la pelouse. L'implant de l'invention peur servir non seulement comme repère de marquage de lignes de délimitation de terrains de sport engazonnées, tels que notamment des terrains de football ou de rugby, mais également comme moyen de signalisation ou de repérage isolé, dans une surface engazonnee, d'un élément quelconque en sous-sol, tel qu'une conduite, une vanne, ou tout autre objet ou structure non visible dont il importe de connaître en permanence la situation sur ladite surface.The implant of the invention is, moreover, very easy to install, without having to dig or prepare the ground and because of its reduced size, does not disturb the ground and does not constitute an obstacle or hard body sufficient to hinder the evolution of users of the land, or the maintenance of the latter, such as mowing or aeration of the lawn. The implant of the invention can be used not only as a marker for marking the delimitation lines of grassed sports fields, such as in particular football or rugby fields, but also as an isolated signaling or marking means, in a surface. lawn, of any element in the basement, such as a pipe, a valve, or any other invisible object or structure whose situation on the said surface must be constantly known.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui va suivre de modes de réalisation de l'implant selon l'invention, description donnée à titre d'exemple uniquement et en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description which follows of embodiments of the implant according to the invention, description given by way of example only and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
Figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale axiale d'un implant selon l'invention suivant un premier mode de réalisation,FIG. 1 is a view in axial vertical section of an implant according to the invention according to a first embodiment,
Figure 2 est une vue en élévation d'un implant suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, etFIG. 2 is a view in elevation of an implant according to a preferred embodiment, and
Figure 3 est une vue ' de dessus du corps de l'implant de la figure 2.Figure 3 is a 'top of the body of the implant of Figure 2.
Sur la figure 1, on a représenté un implant selon l'invention comportant un corps 1 de forme générale cylindrique et épointé, c'est-à-dire conformé en pointe 2 à son extrémité inférieure. Le corps 1 est intégralement enfoui dans le sol 3, le gazon recouvrant le sol étant représenté enIn Figure 1, there is shown an implant according to the invention comprising a body 1 of generally cylindrical shape and blunt, that is to say shaped as a point 2 at its lower end. The body 1 is fully buried in the ground 3, the lawn covering the ground being shown in
4 et est muni sur sa face supérieure de brins d'herbe synthétique 5.4 and is provided on its upper face with blades of synthetic grass 5.
La face supérieure 6 de la partie supérieure du corps 1 est sensiblement de niveau avec la surface du sol engazonné environnant et les brins 5 font saillie depuis cette face 6 sensiblement en parallèle avec les brins de gazon 4.The upper face 6 of the upper part of the body 1 is substantially level with the surface of the surrounding lawn soil and the strands 5 protrude from this face 6 substantially in parallel with the strands of grass 4.
Les brins 5 sont fixés en une ou plusieurs touffes sur le corps 1 et sont ancrés dans ce dernier par tous moyens appropriés. La face externe de la partie cylindrique du corps 1 présente avantageusement des arêtes 7 en dents de scie évitant l'arrachement de l'implant.The strands 5 are fixed in one or more tufts on the body 1 and are anchored in the latter by any suitable means. The external face of the cylindrical part of the body 1 advantageously has sawtooth edges 7 preventing the implant from being torn off.
L'implant est mis en place par enfoncement dans le sol 3 par tous moyens appropriés, de place en place le long d'une ligne à matérialiser sur la pelouse.The implant is placed by pressing into the ground 3 by any appropriate means, from place to place along a line to materialize on the lawn.
Les figures 2 et 3 illustrent un mode de réalisation préféré de l'implant, suivant lequel le corps comporte une partie supérieure 10 cylindrique de faible hauteur dans laquelle sont ancrés les brins d'herbe synthétique 5 et une partie inférieure 11 de forme générale conique avec une pointe 12 à l'extrémité inférieure et un filet de vis 13 d'un bout à l'autre de ladite partie inférieure 11.Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the implant, according to which the body comprises a cylindrical upper part 10 of low height in which are anchored the blades of synthetic grass 5 and a lower part 11 of generally conical shape with a point 12 at the lower end and a screw thread 13 from one end to the other of said lower part 11.
Le profil du filet 13 est dissymétrique, la face inférieure 13a étant nettement plus inclinée sur l'axe de l'implant que la face supérieure 13b, de manière que le filetThe profile of the thread 13 is asymmetrical, the lower face 13a being clearly more inclined on the axis of the implant than the upper face 13b, so that the thread
13 fasse en même temps saillie de retenue évitant l'arrachement accidentel de l'implant.13 simultaneously protrudes from the implant preventing the implant from being torn off.
La face supérieure 14 de la partie 10 est plane, comporte un certain nombre de trous borgnes 15 répartis régulièrement et dans lesquels sont fixées des petites touffes de brins 5.The upper face 14 of the part 10 is flat, has a certain number of blind holes 15 distributed regularly and in which small tufts of strands 5 are fixed.
A titre d'exemple, il est prévu neuf trous 15 recevant chacun une touffe de quelques brins 5, une dizaine environ, de quelques centimètres de longueur, cinq par exemple. Les brins 5 sont en matière plastique de flexibilité suffisante pour être éventuellement tondus en même temps que le gazon et pour éviter tous risques d'accident.By way of example, there are provided nine holes 15 each receiving a tuft of a few strands 5, about ten, a few centimeters in length, five for example. The strands 5 are made of plastic of sufficient flexibility to be possibly mowed at the same time as the grass and to avoid any risk of accident.
D'une manière générale, la densité des brins 5 est très lâche, car l'implant n'a qu'une fonction de signalisation et non de constitution d'une ligne de marquage artificielle.In general, the density of the strands 5 is very loose, because the implant has only a signaling function and not the constitution of an artificial marking line.
La densité, considérée au niveau de l'extrémité libre des brins 5, est, par exemple, inférieure à dix par centimètres carré.The density, considered at the free end of the strands 5, is, for example, less than ten per square centimeter.
Le diamètre de la partie 10 est de l'ordre de quelques centimètres, 3,5 par exemple, cependant que la hauteur du corps de l'implant (10,11) est de l'ordre d'une dizaine de centimètres. L'ensemble du corps d'implant est avantageusement réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique appropriée. L'implant de la figure 2 se met en place par vissage à l'aide d'un outil approprié en forme de fourchette à deux doigts coopérant avec deux évidements ou empreintes 16 diamétralement opposés à la périphérie de la face 14.The diameter of the part 10 is of the order of a few centimeters, 3.5 for example, while the height of the body of the implant (10, 11) is of the order of ten centimeters. The entire implant body is advantageously made in one piece by molding a suitable plastic. The implant of Figure 2 is put in place by screwing in using a suitable fork-shaped tool with two fingers cooperating with two recesses or cavities 16 diametrically opposite the periphery of the face 14.
La mise en place, ainsi que l'éventuel retrait par dévissage, de l'implant est particulièrement simple, facile et rapide et n'implique aucun creusement ou malmenage de la pelouse qui conserve ainsi toute son intégrité.The implantation, as well as the possible removal by unscrewing, of the implant is particularly simple, easy and fast and does not involve any digging or manhandling of the lawn which thus preserves all its integrity.
Les implants de l'invention, qu'ils s'agissent des modes de réalisation représentés ou de tout autre mode de réalisation, se mettent en place à intervalles réguliers le long de la ligne théorique à matérialiser sur la surface engazonnee.The implants of the invention, whether they are the embodiments shown or any other embodiment, are put in place at regular intervals along the theoretical line to materialize on the lawn surface.
Après mise en place des implants, la ligne de marquage est tracée à la manière connue, à la peinture ou au plâtre. Ensuite, à la tonte suivante, la ligne, si elle n'est pas déjà effacée, le sera par la tondeuse. Celle-ci passe sur les implants sans être gênée et éventuellement tond les brins 5 en même temps que l'herbe sans perturber les implants qui vont resservir pour le nouveau marquage de la ligne. Les brins 5 peuvent être éventuellement colorés ou rendus phosphorescents pour un meilleur repérage notamment.After placement of the implants, the marking line is drawn in the known manner, with paint or plaster. Then, at the next mowing, the line, if it is not already erased, will be done by the mower. This passes over the implants without being hindered and possibly mows the strands 5 at the same time as the grass without disturbing the implants which will be used for the new marking of the line. The strands 5 can be optionally colored or made phosphorescent for better identification in particular.
La surface de la partie supérieure (6,10) de l'implant étant réduite, ainsi que le nombre des implants (un tous les 50 cm par exemple), le risque d'endommagement par exemple par les dispositifs d'aération de la pelouse est pratiquement inexistant.The surface of the upper part (6,10) of the implant being reduced, as well as the number of implants (one every 50 cm for example), the risk of damage for example by the aeration devices of the lawn is practically nonexistent.
L'implant de l'invention peut servir également à la signalisation permanente sur un sol engazonnee de tout objet ou structure dissimulée sous la surface, par exemple une canalisation, une vanne, etc.. et dont il importe de connaître la situation.The implant of the invention can also be used for permanent signaling on a lawn soil of any object or structure hidden beneath the surface, for example a pipe, a valve, etc. and the situation of which it is important to know.
Enfin, l'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés mais en couvre au contraire toutes les variantes notamment en ce qui concerne les formes et dimensions de la partie supérieure 10 du corps d'implant, qui peut être par exemple à contour polygonal, et de la partie inférieure 11 qui peut être cylindrique ou conique, lisse, avec ou sans saillies anti-arrachement, quelles que soient leurs formes et agencements. De même, le nombre, l'implantation, les dimensions des brins 5, leur mode de fixation sur le corps d'implant, la nature de leur matériau constitutif, peuvent varier dans de larges mesures sans sortir pour autant du cadre deFinally, the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiments described and shown but on the contrary covers all the variants in particular as regards the shapes and dimensions of the upper part 10 of the implant body, which can be by example with a polygonal outline, and of the lower part 11 which may be cylindrical or conical, smooth, with or without anti-tearing projections, whatever their shapes and arrangements. Likewise, the number, location, dimensions of strands 5, their method of attachment to the implant body, the nature of their constituent material, can vary within wide limits without departing from the scope of
