Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a grass-like material that has great utility value both indoors and outdoors.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, what is generally called artificial turf is made by planting turf members made of synthetic fibers cut to a uniform height on the top surface of a base fabric, but because the coefficient of friction on the surface is high, If you fall or slide while walking or exercising, you may get burns at the contact area, which is undesirable, and the static electricity generated by synthetic resins may cause discomfort when you use it, such as getting an electric shock when you touch it. Furthermore, since it is a synthetic product, it has a single hue and all surfaces have a uniform appearance, and it lacks a natural feel, so it has the disadvantage that it gradually becomes tiring when used for a long period of time.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In view of these circumstances, the present invention was conceived with a completely different idea from conventional artificial turf.
The purpose is to provide a grass-like material that can overcome the drawbacks of artificial turf and maximize its natural feel.

[Means for solving problems]

The purpose of this invention is to create a rug that is similar to natural grasses, and for this purpose: (a) a fibrous material of an appropriate length is placed on the top surface of a flexible holder; The fibrous material is a mixture of natural and synthetic materials, and the color is green because it is a grass-like material. In addition to this, colors of dead leaves, yellow, and other hues may be mixed, and other hues may be used to add decorative properties depending on the purpose. Furthermore, the substance has a different melting point, for example, a substance made of a low melting point polymeric compound,
A substance having a high melting point, mainly consisting of natural fibers, etc. is mixed therein, and in some cases, the substance with a low melting point may be in a state such that it is welded to a substance with a high melting point, and The materials may have different weather resistance and light resistance, respectively.Furthermore, the low melting point yarn and the high melting point yarn may be twisted together and subjected to a heating process to improve the uprightness. In this way, the characteristics of the grass-like material of the present invention lie in the mixture of fibers having various properties. This is an attempt to solve the conventional problems by having something that is fixed at a certain level.

Therefore, the grass-like material of the present invention can be used in countless fields such as public gathering areas, playgrounds, grass ski slopes, installation sites of various sports facilities, road separation strips, embankments, slopes, and even various displays. death,
It has superior properties compared to conventional artificial turf, etc., and can be used indoors and outdoors for a wider range of uses.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described below based on embodiments with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a grass-like object according to the present invention. The device of the present invention consists of a holder 1 and a fibrous material 2 placed on the holder, and the fibrous material 2 is fixed to the holder 1 by non-conducting sewing or the like.

As shown in the figure, the holder 1 is often made of a woven fabric of an appropriate density, but other knitted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, or net-like materials as shown in the figure can also be used.

Next, the fibrous material 2 according to the present invention can be applied to a very wide range of materials. That is, this substance consists of natural products and/or synthetic products, and the natural products include:
Includes fibers such as cotton and linen, semi-synthetic fibers such as human silk, pulp and paper, asbestos thread, and others. In addition, synthetic materials include various synthetic fibers made of polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, acrylonitrile, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, etc., and arbitrarily selected copolymers of these, as well as various synthetic resin films and synthetic fibers. Various materials including paper cut into strips of appropriate width can be used. Of course, not only organic materials but also various inorganic materials can be used. Furthermore, various types of fiber yarns may be untwisted or twisted, and those with and without a compressed state may coexist.
Furthermore, the length and width of the fiber threads, etc. are not particularly limited, and are preferably those that represent the natural state as much as possible.

Next, the fibrous material 2 is scattered and placed on the upper surface of the holder 1 in a random and irregular manner so that the height is generally uneven. is the most prominent feature in terms of appearance. Moreover, it is even more preferable that the substance 2 contains substances having different physical properties, particularly melting points. For example, it is appropriate that a state exists in which a material with a low melting point melts and is welded to a material with a high melting point. In addition, weatherproofing and
It is preferable to include those that have different light fastnesses and exhibit different degrees of fading over time.

Next, in the product of the present invention, the fibrous substance 2 is fastened 3 to the above-mentioned holder 1. The fastening may be done by any method such as sewing or gluing. The fastening can be done in one direction (vertical or horizontal), in the vertical and horizontal directions, or in an appropriate diagonal direction. The spacing is arbitrary and may be set to such an extent that the fibrous material does not easily fall off from the holder.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention is based on the above-mentioned structure, and is a grass-like substance in which fibrous substances are scattered and fixed on the upper surface of a holder, and this grass-like substance is made of various fibrous substances. Because it is a natural grass, it exhibits an aspect that is most similar to natural grass, and is used as an alternative to conventional artificial turf in public gathering places, sports fields, etc. In addition, it is extremely useful for use as installation sites for sports facilities, grass ski slopes, road separation strips, fencing, various displays on slopes, etc. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, plant seeds 4 may be scattered between the fibrous materials of the product of the present invention,
This will be allowed to germinate and grow, and then will gradually yellow and wither naturally, so that it will exhibit the same growth conditions as plants in natural grasslands, so that it will not feel out of place with the surrounding environment. It can also be used as an outdoor rug. moreover,
The product of this invention can be produced at a lower cost than conventional artificial turf, etc. It is an economical rug that retains its soft feel for a long time, and it is also easy to replace, repair, and move. I believe that this is an extremely useful device, as it has various advantages.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A net-like material, a non-woven fabric and/or a knitted fabric is used as a holder,
On the upper surface of the holder, untwisted or twisted fibrous materials made of natural and/or synthetic materials, having different hues, weather resistance, light resistance, or melting points and having appropriate lengths and widths are irregularly placed. Further, a grass-like substance is formed by randomly scattering and placing the fibrous substance locally so that the height thereof is generally non-uniform, and further fixing the fibrous substance to the holding body. .
