Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a turf surface management tool that is suitably used for cleaning turf surfaces, removing snow, etc. at golf courses and the like.

[Conventional technology]

For example, at a golf course, the grass must be strictly managed to ensure good playing conditions at all times. In particular, foreign objects such as debris, dry grass, dirt, and stones that remain after mowing the lawn should be removed as much as possible, as they not only impede play but also hinder the growth of the grass. This is desirable. The same applies to snow on the lawn.

However, golf courses usually have grass planted over a very large area, so removing foreign objects from the grass and removing snow as described above is not easy and requires a lot of time and effort. It was necessary.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

An object of the present invention is to provide a lawn surface management tool that can easily remove foreign objects and snow from the lawn surface.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problem, a filament pine made of a large number of elastic filaments is installed on a base plate with self-propelled casters on the bottom, and the tip of the filament in the filament pine It is characterized in that a scouring surface for scouring the grass surface is formed by a collection of parts.

[Effect]

When transporting management tools to the site, the casters should be grounded and the equipment should be towed by a car or the like using a rope connected to the casters.

At the scavenging site, the management tool is turned upside down so that the scavenging surface at the tip of the filament is in contact with the ground, and the tool is towed by a rope by a car in the same way as above. As a result, the grass surface is swept by the stripes, and debris, dead grass, garbage, stones, etc. remaining after mowing the lawn are scraped and removed.

Further, snow removal work can be performed in the same manner.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a base plate, and the base plate 1 is formed by combining a plurality of metal materials 1a into a frame shape.
On the underside of the , there are multiple swivel casters 2 for self-propelled use.
Further, a plurality of filament mats 3 are respectively attached to the upper surface of the base plate 1.

The filament mat 3 is made of synthetic resin or metal filament 4 having rigidity and elasticity suitable for sweeping the lawn surface.
The concrete structure is as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a large number of filaments 4 cut to a certain length are gathered together, folded in half at the center, and a core wire 5 is attached to the folded portion.
A is inserted into the support fitting 5 having a U-shaped cross section, and the mat material 6 is formed by sandwiching the mat material 6.
6... are combined so as to form a mat-like shape as a whole, and these are connected and integrated by appropriate connecting fittings 7.

The filament mats 3 thus formed are removably attached to the base plate 1 with appropriate connecting fittings with the tips of the filaments 4 protruding from the top surface of the base plate, and the filaments in each filament mat 3 are A collection of the tips of No. 4 forms a scouring surface for scouring the grass surface. These filament pine 3 can be removed and replaced with another filament pine, for example, one with a different thickness and elasticity of the filament 4, and thereby, it can be used for various types of grass and raking. It has become possible to respond to various conditions.

Hooks 8 for connecting ropes for towing are attached around the base plate 1 in four directions, so that the base plate 1 can be towed in an appropriate direction by a working vehicle.

When transporting the management tool having the above configuration to a scavenging site, the caster 2 is placed on the ground as shown in FIG. 1, and the tool is towed by a car using a rope connected to the hook 8. Of course, it may also be transported on the platform of a car.

At the scavenging site, as shown in FIG. 2, the management tool is turned upside down, the scavenging surface at the tip of the filament 4 is brought into contact with the ground, and the tool is towed by a rope by a car in the same manner as above. As a result, the grass surface is swept by the filaments 4, and any debris, dead grass, garbage, stones, etc. remaining after mowing the lawn are scraped and removed. In this case, the management tool is towed vertically or horizontally depending on the arrangement direction of the mat materials 6 in the fiber mat 3, the site situation, etc.

Further, when snow has accumulated on the lawn surface, snow removal work can be similarly performed using this management tool.

In the above embodiment, a plurality of filament mats 3 are attached to the base plate 1, but a single filament mat 3 may be attached.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the turf surface management tool of the present invention, by simply moving the scouring surface formed by the tips of a large number of filaments on the turf surface while keeping it in contact with the ground, the turf surface management tool can remove the turf on the turf surface. It is possible to easily and reliably remove foreign objects such as grass clippings, dried grass, garbage, and stones, and remove snow.

In addition, the management tool is configured to have self-propelled casters on its lower surface and the above-mentioned scouring surface on its upper surface, so when transporting the management tool to the site, the caster is grounded. It can be easily transported by towing it with a car or the like, and it is very easy to handle at the scavenging site because it can be used immediately by simply turning it upside down.
