Definitions
- the present invention relates to an element allowing both the production of a synthetic tennis court similar to clay courts (crushed bricks) allowing the practice of outdoor tennis more particularly.
- the invention also extends to a method of producing such terrain.
- the invention relates in practice to the construction of permanent clay tennis courts and to the rehabilitation of old tennis courts, in particular tennis courts made of porous concrete or any other hard surface. .Technological background
- clay Currently, the construction of a tennis court called "clay” .implies the establishment of at least three successive layers of constituent elements.
- the second layer consists of a layer of limestone or a layer of equivalent material, which is provided in particular to ensure good drainage, as well as for flexibility of play. Finally, a layer of red cover is produced which is generally obtained from finely pulverized crushed brick.
- the major interest of a surface of this type is the playing comfort that protects the player's muscles and joints. This comfort results on the one hand from the flexibility in depth which makes it possible to absorb the vertical impact of the foot during the race and on the other hand, from the controlled slippage of the tennis shoe on the surface, which prevents blo ⁇ cage of the foot in its horizontal movements.
- the present invention aims to provide in particular an element suitable for both the construction of permanent clay tennis courts as for the rehabilitation of such tennis courts, even on a concrete support or on any hard surface, and which avoids the disadvantages notably mentioned due to frost and heavy rain.
- the invention also aims to provide a product with the same playing comfort as traditional products.
- the present invention relates to an element suitable for the construction of permanent tennis courts and for the rehabilitation of old tennis courts comprising a structured textile support forming an open structure carpet composed of synthetic, non-absorbent fibers in which are loaded. successively a first layer consisting essentially of sand having a particle size ensuring adequate drainage and a second surface layer consisting of crushed brick having a particle size smaller than the particle size of the underlying layer.
- the height of the second crushed brick layer is between 1/5 and 1/10 of the total height of the complex comprising the two layers of sand and crushed brick.
- the height of the textile fibers constituting the open structure carpet is advantageously between 18 and
- the textile fibers are preferably made of polypropylene.
- a loose structure tuft associated with a perforated base which preferably consists of a canvas support impregnated with a layer of latex.
- a carpet of this type is laid on an adequate bottom structure, for example a compacted grave, but also in the case of a restoration of a concrete tennis court, on a conventional concrete base, preferably superficially flattened and regenerated.
- a first layer, essentially of sand, is loaded into the textile support to a height such that a vacuum of the order of 3 mm is left relative to the upper surface of the carpet.
- the particle size of the first sand sub-layer is chosen so as to ensure both good penetration into the mat and its complete permeability, while the particle size of the second sub-layer is chosen so that it can serve as a base for the subsequent layer of crushed brick.
- crushed brick layer is then placed over a height of approximately 3 mm so as to fill the void remaining on the surface of the textile support.
- the assembly is compacted by the means usually used for the preparation of clay tennis courts.
- the profile that is to say the surface appearance of the sand used, is selected to avoid damaging the textile fibers of the carpet.
- Non-angular shapes make it possible both to avoid this deterioration while ensuring excellent permeability.
- This pe.rméstructure is further enhanced by the exis ⁇ tence of holes drilled in sufficient quantity in the base of the latex-coated textile support.
- the carpet / sand / clay complex can immediately absorb a significant amount of water while waiting for it to infiltrate the foundation layer.
- the layer will be quickly freed from standing water and the time of immobilization of the ground after a downpour will be reduced.
- the bouncing qualities of the ball are equivalent to those obtained on traditional clay courts.
- the present invention also offers considerable advantages for the restoration of old tennis courts made of porous concrete and of all hard surfaces on which the product according to the invention can be used after restoration (planing, leveling and drilling ) in order to achieve permeabilization of the surface of this foundation layer.
- This figure essentially represents a textile support bearing the general reference 1 consisting of a base comprising a canvas support 3 impregnated with a layer of latex 2 in which are fixed by conventional fibers tufting techniques 4 made of polypropylene and having a height of about 25 mm, and in a relatively loose structure.
- the base of the textile support is pierced with openings 5 in order to present adequate drainage.
- This textile support after having been placed on a flat surface, is loaded with a first sub-layer of sand 6 having a particle size of 0.2 / 0.8 mm over a height of 15 mm and then a second under layer of sand 7 having a smaller particle size 0.2 / 0.3 mm over a height of 5 mm.
- a carpet will be chosen, the fibers of which are "clay” in color so as to blend with the crushed brick.
