Abstract:
A playing surface comprising a foam layer (1) having a top surface and a plurality of downwardly extending energy dissipating projections (9) and a fibrous carpet layer (2) overlying the top surface of the foam layer (1). The plurality of the energy dissipating projections (9) are arranged to dissipate energy of an impact through deformation to significantly affect a Critical Fall Height of the playing surface. The invention also comprises methods of manufacturing the playing surface.
Abstract:
Verkehrsflächen-Bodenbelag (2), erstellt mit Bodenbelagelementen (4) aus Kunststeinmaterial, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß er Normal-Bodenbelagelemente (4) und Symbol-Bodenbelagelemente (6) aufweist; und daß, bei Betrachtung einer räumlich zusammengehörigen Gruppe von Symbol-Bodenbelagelementen (6), die Symbol-Bodenbelagelemente (6) der Gruppe alle mit gleicher Ausrichtung angeordnet sind.
Abstract:
Das insbesondere für Durchfahrsperren zum Schutz gefährdeter Objekte bestimmte Verbundsystem besteht aus nebeneinander angeordneten, mit schwalbenschwanzartig ausgebildeten Verrastungskonturen als Verbindungsmittel versehenen Bausteinen, die dadurch fest, jedoch trennbar miteinander verbunden sind, daß die Verrastungskonturen benachbarter Bausteine formschlüssig ineinandergreifen und zumindest in einer Richtung, die im wesentlichen senk recht zu einer zwei zusammenwirkenden Verrastungskon turen gemeinsamen Führungsachse verläuft, eine zugfeste Verbindung zwischen den benachbarten Bausteinen vermit teln. In Richtung der gemeinsamen Führungsachse der zu sammenwirkenden Verrastungskonturen hingegen sind die Bausteine gegeneinander verschiebbar und dadurch trenn bar.
Abstract:
A support layer for supporting an artificial turf assembly. The support layer being formed of a polymeric foam, preferably having a density of between 20 and 70 grams per liter, such as a polyolefin foam; and having an upper side and a lower side, wherein in use the support layer has been placed with the lower side thereof on a base surface and supports, on the upper side thereof, the artificial turf assembly, the support layer including a plurality of through drainage holes extending from the upper side to the lower side for allowing liquid such as rain water to flow via the plurality of drainage holes from the upper side to the lower side, and also including a plurality of channels at the lower side for allowing liquid such as rain water to flow through the channels along the lower side, wherein each of said plurality of drainage holes debouches into one of the plurality of channels. The support layer is further included in an artificial turf system, that includes an artificial turf assembly with the support layer supported on a base surface such as a layer of sand, wherein the support layer forms, at the upper sides thereof, a closed support surface supporting the artificial turf assembly.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for a panel that may be combined with other similar panels to form a padding layer of an athletic field, or other surface, are disclosed. The panel for use in a padding layer of a panel system includes a top side having a center configured to support a top layer, the top side having a surface that slopes downwards from the center of the top side to edges of the panel, where the top side comprises top-side projections having a height varied from other ones of the top-side projections. The panel includes a bottom side having a plurality of bottom-side projections and a drainage hole that fluidly couples top-side projections with bottom-side projections.
Abstract:
A paving system for paving or flooring includes a top layer of a plurality of paving elements, and an underlayment support layer of a polymeric material configured into panels. The panels are suitable to support the paving elements, the panels having a generally planar support surface.
Abstract:
A lightweight universal panel mat made of plastic or elastomeric material and having a first section that provides a relatively flat, textured or structured top surface to facilitate movement over the upper surface and a second section having geometry that includes a plurality of cells having top surfaces that support the first section. The panel mats also have first, second, third and fourth sides that are configured with tabular extensions or openings, slots or recesses configured and dimensioned to be able to receive the tabular extensions. At least some of the tabs and slots are configured to facilitate snap-locking. Thus, a plurality of similarly configured panel mats can be connected by interlocking of the tabs of one mat into the openings, slots or recesses of one or more adjacent similarly configured mats.
Abstract:
A dual-unit paving system for covering a surface is provided. The system comprises pairs of first and second units. For each pair, the first and second unit have different respective shapes and sizes, and are configured to be matingly engageable for forming a hexagonal assembly having six, non-linear sides. The hexagonal assembly allows forming rotational tessellations. The first and second units are also shaped and configured to be matingly engageable so as to form horizontally aligned tessellations, and also vertically aligned tessellations.
