ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, si bien existen en el mercado diferentes tipos y modelos de fibras para la conformación de piezas de césped As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although there are different types and models of fibers in the market for shaping grass pieces

30 artificial, al menos por parte del solicitante se desconoce la existencia de ninguna que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas iguales o semejantes a las que presenta la que aquí se preconiza y según se reivindica. 30 artificial, at least on the part of the applicant it is unknown the existence of any that presents the same, similar or similar technical, structural and constitutive characteristics to those presented here and as claimed.

En dicho sentido, cabe señalar que muchas de las fibras que se utilizan actualmente para 35 conformar césped artificial están fabricadas a base de materiales poco resistentes y, sobre In that sense, it should be noted that many of the fibers that are currently used to form artificial turf are made of low-strength materials and, on

todo, con escasa capacidad para recuperar la rigidez inicial. Este es uno de los principales problemas de los céspedes artificiales, ya que no siempre se consigue el equilibrio adecuada entre resistencia para que las fibras no queden chafadas o se rompan al pisarlas y para que ofrezcan una superficie suave y mullida, y parecerse lo más posible al césped all with little capacity to recover the initial stiffness. This is one of the main problems of artificial lawns, since the right balance between resistance is not always achieved so that the fibers do not remain flat or break when stepped on and so that they offer a soft and fluffy surface, and look as possible to the lawn

5 natural, siendo este el objetivo de la presente invención. Natural, this being the objective of the present invention.
