More particularly, the present invention relates to a protective net for sports which is made lightweight, has excellent resistance against wind, provides excellent impact resistance, extends a replacement cycle, has excellent visibility with a high rate of hole size, effectively prevents a golf ball, a baseball, or the like from penetrating out of the protective net, and has an improved stability, excellent flame retardancy and weather resistance, and to a protective net for golf, a protective net for soccer, a protective net for baseball, a protective net for tennis, and a protective net for volleyball using the same.[BACKGROUND ART]

[0002] Protective nets for sports are installed in a golf course or baseball field and are used to prevent hit golf balls or baseballs, etc. from escaping out of the protective nets.

[0003] As a conventional protective net for sports, a protective net for sports which forms meshes between intersections of high-density polyethylene (hereinafter, referred to as "HDPE") cords while the HDPE cords having a form in which a plurality HDPE filaments are plied and twisted are crossed in a knot type or a knotless type, is mainly used.

[0004] However, the conventional protective net for sports had to set a diameter of the HDPE cords to be thicker than at least 1.8 mm in order to achieve a desired level of impact resistance and abrasion resistance, whereby the protective net for sports has a high areal density and a weakness of windage resistance, so that there were problems that it is easily damaged by the wind after being installed, and a lot of time and manpower are required to remove the protective net.

[0005] Further, the conventional protective net for sports is easily damaged because of having low resistance to impact applied when the hit golf ball flies and bumps against the protective net, and has a low rate of hole size, which is calculated by dividing the area A of FIG. 3 by the area B of FIG. 3 and then multiplying it by 100, and thus, there is a problem that the visibility is also deteriorated.

[0006] In addition, the conventional protective net for sports has a problem that flame retardancy and weather resistance are deteriorated.[DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION] [Technical Problem]

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a protective net for sports which is made lightweight, has excellent resistance against wind, provides excellent impact resistance, extends a replacement cycle, has excellent visibility with a high rate of hole size, effectively prevents a golf ball, a baseball, or the like from penetrating out of the protective net, and thus has an improved stability, excellent flame retardancy and weather resistance, and using it as a protective net for golf, a protective net for soccer, a protective net for baseball, a protective net for tennis, and a protective net for volleyball.[Technical Solution]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a protective net for sports which forms meshes between intersections of synthetic fiber cords while the synthetic fiber cords have a form in which a plurality of synthetic fiber filaments are plied and twisted and crossed in a knotless type net. The diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord can satisfy the following Equation (I), a maximum distance (D1) between the intersections adjacent to each other can satisfy the following Equation (II), and a minimum distance (D2) between the intersections adjacent to each other can satisfy the following Equation (III): Diameter d of synthetic fiber cord = N × m × sin 2 θ × 1 2 ν 0 2 − 9.81 × h σ × ε × L × π Maximum distance D 1 between adjacent intersections = πR 2 1 + ε Minimum distance D 2 between adjacent intersections = πR 2 1 + ε × n n + 4

[0009] In the Equations (I), (II) and (III), the units of each of the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord, the maximum distance (D1) and the minimum distance (D2) between intersections adjacent to each other are mm, m is a mass of a ball, N is a constant of 14.14214, ε is an strain of the synthetic fiber filament material, θ is ball hitting angle, σ is a stress of the synthetic fiber filament material, Vo is a maximum velocity of a hit ball, L is a total length of a net bumped by the hit ball, which is calculated by the following Equation (IV), h is a height of the net that receives impact by the hit ball, which is calculated by the following Equation (V), R is a radius of the ball to which hit is applied, and n is the number of twists applied to the synthetic fiber filament to prepare the synthetic fiber cord; L = 12.007 × N 2 × N 1

[0010] In the above Equation (IV), N2 is an integer of 12, 17 or 24 as the number of distances (D) between the intersections of the net that receives impact by the hit ball, and N1 is an integer of 1,2 or 4 as the number of intersections of the synthetic fiber cords to which the impact is applied by the ball; h = Vo × sinθ 2 2 × 9.81 in the Equation (V), Vo is an initial velocity of the hit ball, and θ is a ball hitting angle.

[0011] In the Equation (IV), N2 may be obtained by a maximum value and a minimum value of the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord of the Equation (I), based on the number of distances (D) between the intersections of the net that receives impact by the hit ball.[ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS]

[0012] Since the protective net to be used in the present invention is made lightweight with a lower areal density than a conventional protective net for sports and increases rate of hole size with a small diameter of the synthetic fiber cord constituting the protective net, the present invention improves resistance against wind during manufacture of a protective net structure, and has excellent mechanical properties and thus provides excellent resistance against impact applied when a ball flies and bumps. Consequently, the present invention minimizes damage and extends a replacement cycle.

[0013] Further, the present invention improves visibility with the high rate of hole size, and also improves stability by effectively preventing penetration of the ball between the meshes.

[0014] Further, the present invention is easily mounted in the protective net structure and provides excellent flame retardancy and weather resistance.[BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS]

[DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS]

[0016] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail through the accompanying drawings.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the protective net for sports to be used according to the present invention comprises meshes formed between intersections of synthetic fiber cords while the synthetic fiber cords in which a plurality of plied and twisted synthetic fiber filaments are crossed in a knotless type, wherein a diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord can satisfy the following Equation (I), a maximum distance (D1) between the intersections adjacent to each other can satisfy the following Equation (II), and a minimum distance (D2) between the intersections adjacent to each other can satisfy the following Equation (III): Diameter d of synthetic fiber cord = N × m × sin 2 θ × 1 2 ν 0 2 − 9.81 × h σ × ε × L × π Maximum distance D 1 between adjacent intersections = πR 2 1 + ε Minimum distance D 2 between adjacent intersections = πR 2 1 + ε × n n + 4 in the Equations (I), (II) and (III), the units of each of the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord, the maximum distance (D1) and the minimum distance (D2) between the intersections adjacent to each other are mm, m is a mass of a ball, N is a constant of 14.14214, ε is an strain of the synthetic fiber filament material, θ is ball hitting angle, σ is a stress of the synthetic fiber filament material, Vo is a maximum velocity of a hit ball, L is a total length of a net bumped by the hit ball, which is calculated by the following Equation (IV), h is a height of the net that receives impact by the hit ball, which is calculated by the following Equation (V), R is a radius of the ball to which hit is applied, and n is the number of twists applied to the synthetic fiber filament to prepare the synthetic fiber cord, L = 12.007 × N 2 × N 1 in the Equation (IV), N2 is an integer of 12, 17 or 24 as the number of distances (D) between the intersections of the net that receives impact by the hit ball, and N1 is an integer of 1,2 or 4 as the number of intersections of the synthetic fiber cords to which the impact is applied by the ball, h = Vo × sinθ 2 2 × 9.81 in the Equation (V), Vo is an initial velocity of the hit ball, and θ is a ball hitting angle.

[0018] The number (N2) of the distances (D) between the intersections which receive impact by the hit ball is determined depending on a position where the ball bumps against the protective net as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

[0019] Specifically, when the ball bumps against the position of the protective net shown in FIG. 4, the number (N2) of the distances (D) between the intersections which receive impact by the hit ball becomes 12, and the number (N1) of intersections which receive impact by the hit ball becomes 1.

[0020] On the other hand, when the ball bumps against the position of the protective net shown in FIG. 5, the number (N2) of the distances (D) between the intersections which receive impact by the hit ball becomes 17, and the number (N1) of intersections which receive impact by the hit ball becomes 2.

[0021] On the other hand, when the ball bumps against the position of the protective net shown in FIG. 6, the number (N2) of the distances (D) between the intersections becomes 24, and the number (N1) of intersections which receive impact by the hit ball becomes 4.

[0022] The protective net for sports is used in the present invention as a protective net for golf, a protective net for soccer, a protective net for baseball, a protective net for tennis, a protective net for volleyball, or the like.

[0023] As the synthetic fiber filament constituting the synthetic fiber cord, an aramid filament may be used alone, or the aramid filament and other synthetic fiber filament except the aramid filament may be used in a combination with each other.

[0024] If the present invention uses the protective net for golf, then the synthetic fiber cord is an aramid cord consisting of the aramid filament, and a diameter (d) of the aramid cord is 0.85 mm to 1.5 mm, a maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 35 mm or less, and a minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 20 mm or more.

[0025] If the present invention uses the protective net for soccer, then the synthetic fiber cord is an aramid cord consisting of the aramid filament, and a diameter (d) of the aramid cord is 0.59 mm to 0.84 mm, a maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 140 mm or less, and a minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 130 mm or more.

[0026] If the present invention uses the protective net for baseball, then the synthetic fiber cord is an aramid cord consisting of the aramid filament, and a diameter (d) of the aramid cord is 0.75 mm to 1.07 mm, a maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 50 mm or less, and a minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 40 mm or more.

[0027] If the present invention uses the protective net for tennis, then a diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.73 mm to 1.03 mm, a maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 42 mm or less, and a minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 38 mm or more.

[0028] If the present invention uses the protective net for volleyball, then a diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.33 mm to 0.47 mm, a maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adj acent to each other is 126 mm or less, and a minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 122 mm or more.

[0029] When the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is lower than the above range, the mechanical properties such as a tensile strength and an abrasion resistance of the synthetic fiber cord are deteriorated, and thus, there is highly likely that the protective net for sports is easily damaged by an impact applied when the hit golf ball or baseball ball flies and bumps against the protective net, whereas when the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord exceeds the above range, since a areal density of the protective net for sports becomes heavier than 180 g / m 2< , a resistance to external environments such as wind and typhoons is reduced, which increases a likelihood that the installed protective net is easily damaged. If a rate of hole size of the protective net for sports is lowered to less than 88%, this makes viewing of the game uncomfortable.

[0030] If the distance between the intersections (X) of the synthetic fiber cords exceeds the above range, there is a problem that a protective function of the protective net for sports is deteriorated due to penetration of a golf ball or a baseball through a mesh of the protective net for sports. If it is less than the above range, the mesh is formed too small, making viewing of the game uncomfortable.

[0031] That is, the protective net for sports to be used according to the present invention wherein the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.85 mm to 1.5 mm, the maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 35 mm or less, and the minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 20 mm or more, can be used as the protective net for golf.

[0032] Further, the protective net for sports to be used according to the present invention wherein the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.59 mm to 0.84 mm, the maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 140 mm or less, and the minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 135 mm or more, can be used as the protective net for soccer.

[0033] Further, the protective net for sports to be used according to the present invention wherein the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.75 mm to 1.07 mm, the maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 50 mm or less, and the minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 40 mm or more, can be used as the protective net for baseball.

[0034] Further, the protective net for sports to be used according to the present invention wherein the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.73 mm to 1.03 mm, the maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 42 mm or less, and the minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 38 mm or more, can be used as the protective net for tennis.

[0035] Further, the protective net for sports to be used according to the present invention wherein the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord is 0.33 mm to 0.47 mm, the maximum distance (D1) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 126 mm or less, and the minimum distance (D2) of the intersections adjacent to each other is 122 mm or more, can be used as the protective net for volleyball.

[0036] The aramid cord (C) consists of two strands and three or less strands of aramid filaments having a fineness of preferably 1,200 denier to 5,000 denier, more preferably 2,000 to 5,000 denier, and an strain of the aramid filament is preferably 2 % or more and 4 % or less.

[0037] Those in which a resin containing an ultraviolet stabilizer is coated onto the synthetic fiber cord are more preferable for improving a weather resistance.

[0038] The protective net for sports for use in the present invention has a cutting strength of 114 daN or more, or 114 daN to 120 daN, and may be configured to sew a fabric having a narrow width at an end of the protective net for sports to improve mounting during installation.

[0039] In order to prevent all loosening of the protective net of a Knotless type when cutting or installing the protective net, a fine fabric is sewn at the end of the protective net.

[0040] In order to easily hang or mount the protective net on a post for installation of the protective net, a metal ring-typed jig may be installed when sewing the fine fabric at the end of the protective net.

[0041] When Velcro is attached to the post for installation of the protective net, in order to improve attachability and detachability of the protective net, the Velcro may be sewn together when stitching the fine fabric at the end of the protective net.

[0042] The use according to the present invention is made lightweight with a lower areal density than a conventional protective net for sports, and a diameter of the synthetic fiber cord constituting the protective net is considerably smaller than a diameter of the conventional HDPE cord which leads to an increase in a rate of hole size. Therefore, the present invention improves resistance against wind during manufacture of a protective net structure, and has excellent mechanical properties and thus provides excellent resistance against impact applied when a golf ball or a baseball ball flies and bumps. Consequently, the present invention minimizes damage and extends a replacement cycle.

[0043] Specifically, the rate of hole size of the protective net for sports may be 90 % or more, 90 % to 100 %, or 90 % to 99.5 %, according to the following Equation (VI): Rate of hole size = A B × 100 in the Equation (VI), A is an area of the mesh, and B is an area obtained by multiplying a value (ℓ1) adding a diameter (d) of the aramid cord to a transverse length (ℓ2) of the mesh, and a value (h1) adding the diameter (d) of the aramid cord to a longitudinal length (h2) of the mesh.

[0044] Further, an abrasion resistance may be 20 minutes or more, or 20 minutes to 35 minutes, wherein the abrasion resistance is a time required to damage the protective net by allowing a golf ball rotating at 3,000 rpm to contact the same position of the protective net after mounting the protective net to a rotational friction tester.

[0045] Further, a areal density of the protective net for sports may be 1 g / m 2< to 100 g / m 2< , or 5 g / m 2< to 80 g / m 2< .

[0046] Furthermore, the protective net for sports used according to the present invention also can improve a stability by effectively preventing a golf ball or a baseball ball from penetrating between the meshes, while enhancing a visibility due to the high rate of hole size.

[0047] Still furthermore, the protective net for sports used according to the present invention can be easily mounted on a structure of the protective net, and has an excellent flame retardancy and a weather resistance.

[0048] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples and comparative examples.

[0049] However, the protection scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited only to these examples.Example 1

[0050] Two strands of aramid filaments having an strain of 3 % and a fineness of 4,500 denier were plied and twisted to prepare aramid cords having a diameter (d) of 0.95 mm.

[0051] Next, meshes were formed while crossing the aramid cords in a knotless type as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, thereby manufacturing a protective net for golf.

[0052] In this case, an distance between the intersections (X) of the aramid cords was adjusted to 25 mm.

[0058] Next, meshes were formed while crossing the HDPE cords in a knotless type as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to manufacture a protective net for golf.

[0059] In this case, an distance between the intersections (X) of the HDPE chodes was adjusted to 23 mm.

[0060] The results of evaluating a cutting strength, a areal density, a rate of hole size, and an abrasion resistance of the manufactured protective net for golf were shown in Table 1.

[0061] In Table 1 above, the values of Equation (I), Equation (II) and Equation (III) are as follows. Diameter d of synthetic fiber cord = N × m × sin 2 θ × 1 2 ν 0 2 − 9.81 × h σ × ε × L × π Maximum distance D 1 between adjacent intersections = π R 2 1 + ε Minimum distance D 2 between adjacent intersections = π R 2 1 + ε × n n + 4

[0062] In the Equations (I), (II) and (III), the units of each of the diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord, the maximum distance (D1) and the minimum distance (D2) between the intersections adjacent to each other are mm, m is a mass of a ball, N is a constant of 14.14214, ε is an strain of the synthetic fiber filament material, θ is a ball hitting angle, σ is a stress of the synthetic fiber filament material, Vo is a maximum velocity of a hit ball, L is a total length of a net that receives impact by the hit ball, which is calculated by the following Equation (IV), h is a height of the net that receives impact by the hit ball, which is calculated by the following Equation (V), R is a radius of the ball to which hit is applied, and n is the number of twists applied to the synthetic fiber filament to prepare the synthetic fiber cord, L = 12.007 × N 2 × N 1 in the Equation (IV), N2 is an integer of 12, 17 or 24 as the number of distances (D) between the intersections of the net that receives impact by the hit ball, and N1 is an integer of 1,2 or 4 as the number of intersections of the synthetic fiber cords to which the impact is applied by the ball; h = Vo × sinθ 2 2 × 9.81 in the Equation (V), Vo is an initial velocity of the hit ball, and θ is a ball hitting angle.
