Description
ARTIFICIAL HYBRID TURF
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to an artificial hybrid turf, especially an artificial hybrid turf intended for football grounds and other possible sport fields.
Technical Background
Different types of artificial turf are known today. Artificial turf is a surface comprising synthetic fibres and intended to look like grass. It is often used in various sport arenas.
Artificial hybrid turf or hybrid artificial turf is a turf in which natural grass is integrated, either already before delivered to the final destination where it will be used, or put for integration of grass at site.
The present invention relates to artificial hybrid turf, both such turf before natural grass has been integrated and of course also after integration of grass.
One aim of the present invention is to provide an improved artificial turf, e.g. which is optimized for use at football grounds. It should be noted that the artificial turf according to the present invention has several other possible applications also, which becomes clear from the description below. Common for all optimizations is to allow the best possible growth of natural grass through the artificial turf according to the present invention.
Summary of the invention
The stated purpose above is achieved by an artificial hybrid turf comprising a reinforcement, said reinforcement having an open structure with several holes and as such being permeable for grass to grow through it, said reinforcement constituting an underside of the artificial hybrid turf, wherein the artificial hybrid turf also comprises piles which are attached to the
reinforcement and which piles as a whole constitute the upside of the artificial hybrid turf, wherein the holes of the reinforcement have a width in the range of 5 - 60 mm and a length in the range of 50 - 60 mm, wherein the strength of the reinforcement is in the range of 1000 - 4000 Denier and wherein the piles have a length in the range of 10 - 60 mm.
According to one specific embodiment of the present invention, the holes of the reinforcement have a width in the range of 10 - 60 mm and/or a length in the range of 10 - 60 mm, such as e.g. holes of the reinforcement having a width in the range of 10 - 40 mm and/or a length in the range of 10 - 40 mm.
According to yet another specific embodiment of the present invention, the piles have a length in the range of 10 - 50 mm.
Furthermore, according to yet another specific embodiment the piles have a length in the range of 40 - 60 mm. This is especially interesting in an application like the one shown in fig. 2, i.e. for a football soil.
The present invention is directed to providing an optimized artificial hybrid turf intended for football field. The artificial hybrid turf according to the present invention exhibits an optimized relation between the hole size of the reinforcement, the strength of the reinforcement and the pile length of the hybrid turf. This relation between these parameters gives the artificial hybrid turf properties and performance. The optimal relation provided by the present invention has several advantages. First of all, the relation provided by the present invention implies an eliminated risk of treading through the artificial hybrid turf with the football boots of a football player when running or sliding tackling. The holes of the reinforcement are small enough, however this is not only enough, if you still want to provide an artificial hybrid turf with holes large enough to provide good growth of grass through the holes of the
reinforcement. The pile length is also of importance. The individual piles of the artificial hybrid turf according to the present invention are long enough to be able to extend in the same direction and also protect the reinforcement and holes thereof when this is exposed to the compression of a football boot, both during running and sliding tackling.
In US20140250780 there is disclosed a removable support surface which has knitted loops of yarn, and has piles extending from the knitted yarn to form an artificial turf, or to form a hybrid turf when combined with natural grass which grows between the knitted yarn. In US20140250780 it is mentioned that the net of the backing can be modified in a range of from 600 to 8000 Denier. The size of the holes is said to be possible to adjust from 1 /6
inches (4.23 mm) up to 8 inches (203.2 mm). Moreover, the piles are said to be adjusted in a size range of from 1 /3 inches (8.46 mm) up to 4 inches (101 .6 mm). As notable, all the ranges according to the present invention are well within the ranges mentioned according to US20140250780. All of the ranges provided according to the present invention, i.e. the size of the holes of the reinforcement in form of width and length, the strength of the
reinforcement and also the length of the piles, and the relationship between these parameters are key features to provide an optimal artificial hybrid turf, such as shortly described above and further explored below. Such an optimal combination of these parameters and the relationship between them are not disclosed or hinted in US20140250780.
Moreover, in EP2626468 there is disclosed a mixed turf disposed on a soil and comprising a synthetic turf, natural grass disposed inside the synthetic turf, said synthetic turf comprising synthetic filaments adapted to simulate grass blades and a support consisting of a membrane for sustaining the synthetic filaments, the support being further as a whole substantially draining and transpiring and allowing passage therethrough of the root system of said natural grass and being non-biodegradable.
Furthermore, in CN102668830 there is shown a method for planting a natural grass and artificial grass mixed system lawn. Turf formed according to the method is said to provide combines advantages of both the natural lawn and the artificial lawn.
In WO2014125459 there is disclosed a turf of synthetic origin and turf of natural origin, where the turf of synthetic origin and the turf of natural origin are disposed on a substantially elastic permeable substrate, which elastic substrate is configured in such a way that it allows passage of the roots of the natural turf through to a growing layer disposed in a lower position.
Neither of the additional documents shortly mentioned above provide the optimal technical setup of the ranges focused in the present invention, i.e. the size of the holes of the reinforcement in form of width and length, the strength of the reinforcement and also the length of the piles, and the relationship between these parameters. Such an optimal artificial hybrid turf
with an optimal setting of these parameters is not disclosed or hinted in either of these documents.
Another advantage provided according to the present invention is the property related to the artificial turf or piles as such. The piles are arranged in clusters with several piles being adjacent to one another, but still forming small groups of piles. This effect is possible to achieve when the strength of the reinforcement is held in the range according to the present invention. These clusters of piles also provide a very natural-like artificial turf when being compared to regular grass, which as such provides a similar feeling as playing football on a natural grass football field when using the artificial hybrid turf according to the present invention.
At the same time, the pile length cannot be too long. You still want to have the natural grass growing past the length of the piles and also provide an artificial hybrid turf which is simple to mow. Furthermore, you also want to provide a solution which is optimized with reference to the amount of material needed, and too long piles also increase the production costs. In relation to the expression "pile" it may also be mentioned that each pile, when
mentioned as such, refers to each straw, but the expression may also refer to the entire pile being the uppermost layer of the artificial hybrid turf according to the present invention.
As understood from above, the artificial hybrid turf according to the present invention is optimized for football fields considering all possible aspects, such as high performance making sure to provide an effective growth of natural growth through the artificial hybrid turf, during the actual play providing an eliminated risk for the players, providing en effective handling so that mowing the artificial hybrid turf is simple and also with reference to keeping the total production costs down. No existing artificial hybrid turfs provide all these advantages or are directed to providing such an optimal solution for all these aspects.
