摘要:
An artificial turf athletic playing field comprising a first layer of artificial turf comprising artificial grass fibers tufted through a first backing and a first infill layer comprising infill particles interspersed between the tufted fibers, wherein the backing incorporates water drainage arranged by drainage openings dispersed throughout the backing that are covered by infill particles and tufted fibers, and wherein the infill layer has been leveled to be in a leveled condition; and a second layer of artificial turf comprising artificial grass fibers tufted through a second backing and a second infill layer comprising infill particles interspersed between the tufted fibers, wherein the second layer is configured to receive a level support base from the leveled first infill layer of the first layer of artificial turf, wherein the second layer provide a playing surface for the artificial turf athletic playing field.

The present invention relates to using olive pit particles as a portion of the infill for an artificial turf field. The olive pit particles are produced by crushing raw olive pits. The particles or pits are not treated with antimicrobial additives. Infills and artificial turf fields comprising such particles, or such particles in combination with the weight distributions and other materials disclosed in this application, exhibit superior properties compared to other infills and artificial turf fields comprising other organic materials and synthetic materials.

A shock absorbing artificial surface is disclosed. The shock absorbing artificial surface comprises a flexible, porous, backing member and parallel rows of ribbons projecting through and upwardly from the backing member. The shock absorbing artificial surface further comprises parallel rows of shock absorbing material on the back of backing member overlying the rows of ribbons. The parallel rows of shock absorbing material are spaced apart. A method of manufacturing a shock absorbing artificial surface is also provided.

A synthetic grass sport surface (10) suited for use in a baseball field includes an infill layer (16) of particulate material evenly spread among rows of ribbons (14) extending upwardly from a backing mat (12). The infill layer (16) includes a top covering sub-layer (26) of non-marking material, such as recycled rubber used in the manufacture of soles for running shoes. A checkered pattern of alternating color tones is formed on the synthetic grass surface (16) for improving the natural appearance thereof. The synthetic grass surface also includes a synthetic grass warning track (34) having different tangible properties to alert a player stepping thereon that he is approaching an obstacle.
摘要:
A synthetic grass surface includes widely spaced rows of ribbons projecting from a flexible backing sheet. Thermal regulating means are attached to the backing sheet in the spaces between the rows of the ribbons. A relatively thick infill layer is disposed on the top of the backing sheet, thereby burying the thermal regulating means and holding the ribbons upright. The infill layer may include a growing medium for plant growth. In one embodiment, electric cables are integrated into the synthetic grass surface in order to heat the surface for de-icing or to maintain plant root warmth. In another embodiment, perforated flexible pipes are integrated into the synthetic grass surface to moisten the surface, thereby cooling the surface when the moisture evaporates. The thermal regulating system of the invention is energy-efficient and economical to install and operate.

Apparatus and methods are provided that provide an artificial turf fiber having an integrated fiber and base arrangement. The fibers can be integrally formed with a substrate such by using a molding process. The fibers can be formed to be bonded directly to the base using the molecular bonds of the material that formed the base and fiber at the same time.
