Benefits of technology

This patent describes a stitching arrangement for tufts of artificial turf that includes a specific pattern of stitches. The pattern has at least two diagonally right stitches before two diagonally left stitches, and at least one straight stitch between them. This pattern also has additional straight stitches between the two portions of the pattern. The technical effect of this pattern is improved stability and durability of the artificial turf.

Problems solved by technology

The artificial industry has labored intensively to perfect the appearance of such artificial turf.
Unfortunately, the most common weaving technique still involves using rows of stitches to create tufts of artificial turf.
This, however, is not how turf appears in nature.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 485,434, filed on Sep. 12, 2014, which claim foreign priority to Mexican Patent Application MX / U / 2013 / 000622, filed on Nov. 26, 2013. The entirety of both applications are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This invention pertains to carpeting of artificial turf, and more particularly to improvements in the process of manufacturing artificial turf.BACKGROUND[0003]A variety of different techniques are used to manufacture artificial turf. The artificial industry has labored intensively to perfect the appearance of such artificial turf. For example, manufacturers have experimented with the use of different colors and materials to reflect the fact that turf in its natural state is not a homogenous single shade of green. Unfortunately, the most common weaving technique still involves using rows of stitches to create tufts of artificial turf. This,...
