Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor covering for open spaces, in particular for games and sports facilities, with an artificial turf as a surface layer and with a filling of granular material, in particular sand, between the pile threads of the turf, over which the free ends of the pile threads protrude upwards.
  • an approximately 20 mm high synthetic grass or an artificial turf with a water-impermeable back is used, which is produced in such a way that a tufted turf material is provided on the back with a continuous rubber-like layer.
  • This artificial turf is then provided with a filling of granular material from the top, namely with a silicon-based material with additives.
  • a disadvantage of the known floor covering is that, owing to the water-impermeable coating on the back of the artificial lawn, rainwater and the like can only be drained off along the edge of the floor covering, with the risk that in heavy rain, for example in a thunderstorm, the granular material of the filling washed out from the pole of the lawn is, so that the floor covering no longer has the desired uniform surface quality, especially since the pile threads of the lawn are too long after the filling has been washed out.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved floor covering of the type described in the introduction in which the risk of the filling of granular material being washed out is reduced to a minimum.
  • the decisive advantage of the floor covering according to the invention over the previously known floor covering is that melt water and rain water, even if they occur in considerable quantities, through the artificial lawn and the filter mat to the underside of the floor covering and into the surface provided there Drainage system can drain, so that a washing away of the filling material between the pile threads of the lawn to the edge areas is prevented.
  • the filter mat also prevents material from the underground from migrating from below through the drainage openings of the artificial turf upwards into the pole of the turf. It has proven to be advantageous if a grated lawn with coated ribs is provided on the back as a water-permeable artificial lawn, since good water permeability can be achieved with this type of artificial lawn. It is particularly advantageous that the ribs projecting from the adjacent areas can also be well laminated to the filter mat, in particular by thermal welding.
  • a water-permeable artificial turf which is provided on the back with nubs made of elastic material, the nubs again ensuring good water permeability and also as protruding points or surface areas for laminating the filter mat, which are preferably available as Fleece or felt mat is formed.
  • the drawing shows a section of an artificial lawn 10, on the underside of which a filter mat 12 is laminated.
  • the filter mat 12 is laminated onto the lawn 10 in such a way that at least of the grid-like webs or ribs 14 of the base fabric of the lawn which in the exemplary embodiment in the drawing from left to right extending ribs - - be provided with a coating which sen a-a Ankaschieren the filter mesh 12 to the artificial R permits 10, preferably by thermal welding, the parallel to each other in a direction extending ribs .
  • the coating of the ribs 14 does not need to be made of a thermoplastic material, but can also consist, for example, of a curable plastic which is first applied in the sticky state and with which the filter mat 12 is then connected or glued before the curing has ended .
  • the artificial turf 10 has pile threads 18 protruding upwards from the lattice-like base fabric, which in practice are often formed by narrow plastic ribbons in practice, in particular when using Raschel fabric for the turf 10, and which are longer in accordance with the invention than in a conventional artificial one Lawn and for example have a length of about 20 mm.
  • a granular filling material in particular sand, is applied to the top of the lawn 10 to complete the floor covering according to the invention and distributed so that a uniform layer of granular material or a Sand layer 16 results, the height of which is selected such that the free ends of the pile threads 18 protrude above the surface of the sand layer 16, for example with a length of approximately 5 mm.
  • a floor covering has proven itself excellently, for example, for tennis courts, since with a good elasticity of the floor covering, a defined jumping of the balls is achieved, as is appreciated by the tennis players.
  • the floor covering according to the invention unlike the floor coverings of this type used hitherto, there is no longer any danger that the filling material will be washed away to the edges of the field and out of the pole of the artificial turf in a substantial amount in the event of heavy rain or snowmelt. In this way, a significant improvement in the stability of the floor covering with regard to the removal of surface water is achieved with little additional effort - all that is required is to provide the filter mat or to replace a mat previously used to improve the elasticity of the step with a suitable filter mat.
  • a lawn tufted on a water-permeable base fabric can also be used as the water-permeable lawn, in which the ribs formed by the tufting on the back of the base fabric are provided with a coating.
