Embodiment Construction

[0019]As a consequence of the improved process of weaving (3) the artificial turf carpeting, subject of this report, a wide range of benefits are achieved given that this new weaving process (3) reduces the amount of thread (1) while presenting the appearance of a heavier turf. In addition, the pattern of stitches applied to the lower surface of the carpet (4), where the coating of latex or polyurethane is spread, presents a larger surface for contact with the finishing material due to the great majority of the stitches being arrayed diagonally. Therefore the adhesion to the threads is strengthened (1) compared to the bond obtained from a rectilinear or standard weave. Given the greater concentration of threads (1) in certain areas coupled with a distribution simulating the pattern of a chessboard (5), the appearance of a turf closer to reality is achieved since natural turf does not grow in furrows, but rather in a dispersed fashion. This new weaving process (3) eliminates the appe...

Abstract

The invention described herein pertains to carpeting of artificial turf used on sports fields, as decorative touches in gardens and areas with greenery as well as for other applications. It features a weaving process differentiated from those normally implemented by the current artificial turf industry, leading to multiple benefits that impact not only the fabricator but also the final user.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention pertains to carpeting of artificial turf featuring improvements in the weaving method. The product can be used covering sports fields, acting as decorative accents in gardens, greenery and for other applications. It is based on a weaving method different from that for the products normally assembled by today's artificial turf industry, leading to several improvements as much during fabrication as it does for the end user.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Nowadays different methods are implemented in the manufacturing of artificial turf. To the extent that it has been possible, the industry has labored intensely perfecting the appearance and performance of its output resulting in more benefits for the consumer. Continuously, materials used for its fabrication as well as the structure and design are being improved. Most artificial turf surfaces display similar characteristics such as: color, syntheti...
