Abstract

A tent for protecting natural grass lawns is related to means for protecting against unfavorable climatic conditions, and specifically to means for protecting against solar rays, particularly in regard to grass football fields. The technical result is a simpler, faster tent installation process. The tent contains sheets (1) made of light-permeable material, which material can be polyethylene or polypropylene, covered with aluminum foil. The sheets can be connected to each other by means of fasteners (5). During the tent installation process, the sheets (1) are positioned on frameworks (2) having apertures (4) for lawn-watering. The framework (2) is in the form of a metal-plastic spiral. The tent provides necessary shade and creates a specific micro-climate which has a positive effect on the condition of the lawn.

Description

TENT FOR PROTECTION OF NATURAL HERBAL LAWNS

Technical field

The utility model relates to means intended to protect from the influence of adverse climatic factors, namely to means to protect natural grassy lawns, mainly football pitch lawns, from sunlight.

State of the art

Known coating for the protection of natural grassy lawns, mainly lawns of football fields, from weather damage, described in the declaration of Ukraine patent for utility model JV ° 22803, IPC (2006) A01G13 / 02, Bull. JV ° 5, 2007. The coating comprises a panel composed of separate parts, which is placed on a frame made of an elastic airtight material.

In accordance with the declarative patent of Ukraine for utility model j e 65790, IPC (201 1 .01) A01G 13/00, Bull. 23, 201 1, a tent is known for protecting natural grassy lawns, mainly football pitch lawns, from sunlight. The awning contains panels of translucent material, which has a shading factor of 10 to 95%. The sheets, for placing them above the surface of the lawn, have fastening elements, which are made in the form of cables. Along the large sides of the panels

one

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) there are holes for fastening elements of the panels on the cables, which are made in the form of carbines. The awning has additional cables designed to raise the panels above the lawn, which are attached in the center on both sides of the panels.

The well-known tent allows you to create optimal temperature conditions and a microclimate that protects the natural grass lawn from sunlight, especially in the summer.

Awning presented in the patent

65790, is the closest analogue of the claimed means of protection of grassy lawns.

However, it should be noted that the installation process of the well-known tent is quite time-consuming and time-consuming. In addition, it is expensive due to the presence of metal structures and steel cables.

Utility Model Disclosure

The problem that the claimed utility model solves is to create a more versatile tool for protecting green lawns, especially in the summer.

The technical result is to simplify and accelerate the installation of the tent. In addition, the frame structure, namely the presence of holes, allows you to water the lawn if necessary, maintaining it in good condition. The cost of an awning is almost half that in comparison with the well-known awning.

The specified technical problem and the specified technical result are achieved due to the fact that the tent for the protection of natural grass lawns, mainly football pitch lawns, from sunlight, containing panels of translucent material, according to the utility model,

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) additionally contains at least one frame for placing the panel, made in the form of a spiral of elastic material.

A tape is fixed between the turns of the spiral to fix the distance between the turns.

In accordance with a useful model, the awning panels are made of a translucent material that reflects the sun's rays.

The spiral frame is formed by a metal pipe having holes for irrigation of the lawn.

According to a utility model, the panels are interconnected by fasteners of the type “Velcro” or “zipper”.

The proposed tent allows you to create optimal conditions for maintaining grassy lawns in good condition, regardless of the ambient temperature. Awning gives the necessary shading and creates a special microclimate, which positively affects the condition of the lawn.

A brief description of the drawings A utility model is illustrated by drawings, where:

in FIG. 1- shows a general view of the awning;

in FIG. 2 - fastening and tensioning elements;

in FIG. 3 - Awning assembly process is presented. Utility Model Embodiments

The awning contains panels 1 made of translucent material, the shading coefficient of which is in the range from 10 to 95%. In a specific case, this

3

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the coefficient is 60%. The width of the panel in a particular case was 8 m. For the manufacture of panels of the awning, the material “ALUMINET” can be used. This material may be polyethylene or polypropylene coated with aluminum foil. The material of the panel has holes for uniform penetration of sunlight and air, in the particular case the diameter of the holes was 0.5 - 10 mm, but other sizes and various shapes of these holes are possible. To place the panels above the surface of the lawn is designed frame 2, made in the form of a spiral of elastic material. Between the turns of the spiral, a tape 3 is fixed to fix the distance between the turns. As shown above, the panels are made of breathable material that reflects the sun's rays. The spiral of the frame 2 is formed by a metal-plastic pipe in which there are openings 4 for water, which, if necessary, provides watering for the lawn. Cloths 1 can be interconnected by fasteners 5 type "Velcro" or zipper. This completely eliminates the formation of gaps between the panels. Position 6 shows the fastening and tensioning elements designed to fix the panels on the surface of the lawn.

For use, the awning is collected as follows. On the lawn of a football field or other sports field, frames 2 are installed parallel to each other, the number of which depends on the area of the lawn. Thanks to the tape 3, fixed between the turns, the spirals of the frames are evenly placed across the entire field width. The frames are covered with panels that are connected by fasteners 5, after which the panels are straightened on the frames and using fastening and tensioning elements 6 are fixed on the lawn. Awning height above a lawn (diameter of a spiral) in a concrete

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) case was 0.5 m, but may be different. This height, in combination with the material of the panels, which has openings for the passage of sunlight, provides the necessary shading and creates a favorable climate to keep the grass lawn in good condition. In the process of using the tent, the sun's rays are partially reflected from its outer surface, and partially, depending on the number of holes available in the panel material, penetrate through the panel and scatter above the surface of the lawn, creating the necessary lighting, and, in general, favorable conditions for maintaining grass field soccer field in good condition.

Industrial applicability The proposed tent allows you to create optimal conditions for maintaining grass lawns in good condition, regardless of the ambient temperature. Awning gives the necessary shading and creates a special microclimate, which positively affects the condition of the lawn.

The awning is easily mounted and dismantled, it is convenient for use and storage.

Awning production does not require special equipment; it can be mass-produced in industry.
