Publication number: 20230125726Abstract: A turf system comprising a base member having a predetermined thickness and a turf arranged to be positioned upon the base member. The turf comprises a mat provided with a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The mat is configured to be water-permeable in such a way to allow rain or irrigation water to flow from the second face to the first face and to reach the base member. It is, furthermore, provided a plurality of blades made of synthetic material fixed to the mat and configured to protrude from the second face in such a way to form an artificial turf. The turf system comprises, furthermore, a base member constituted by natural fibres of vegetable origin that are kept together by an adhesive based on natural latex.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicant: SOFISPORT S.R.L.Inventor: Roberto NUSCA

Patent number: 9388535Abstract: Method for making a synthetic turf comprising laying a turf (1) consisting of a mat (2) on which a plurality of blades (3, 3a, 3b, 3c) of synthetic material is woven. An infill material (18) is obtained using the granular and fibrous part (17) of a loose product based on ground coconut, alone or with addition of other material such as rubber in granules or sand or other loose vegetable material such as cork. The raw material based on coconut, having a heterogeneous granulometry set between about 500 micron and several mm, is obtained loading a loose product based on ground coconut by a hopper on a conveyor belt for being fed in a sieve, for example a rotating screen that separates the powder part from the granular and fibrous part. In particular, the powder part of the raw material, is gathered on a conveyor belt and from here sent to a storage reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Inventor: Roberto Nusca

Patent number: 9003694Abstract: Turf (1) for sports, recreational activities and/or for ornamental purposes comprising a mat of flexible material (10) equipped with a first face (11) and a second face (12) opposite to each other. To the mat (10) a plurality of fibers (20) are connected of an artificial material in such a way that it forms an artificial turf (50) that protrudes from the first face (11). The turf (1) comprises, furthermore, a measured amount of a loose infill material (50), for example of granular type, distributed on the face (11) of the mat (10). The turf (1) comprises, furthermore, natural vegetable material, i.e. plants, belonging to one, or more plant species (30) put in the loose infill material (50) by means of sowing, transplantation of portions of plants, or a combination of the two solutions. The fibers of artificial material (20) have a profiled shape comprising a main blade (21) and at least one side wing (22).Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Mar.

Publication number: 20120189786Abstract: Synthetic turf having a mat with a first face, arranged next to a surface to coat, and with a second face opposite to the first face. The synthetic turf also has a plurality of filaments knitted to the mat and made of a synthetic material. Above the second face of the mat, an infill material is present that is arranged all around the filaments of artificial material. The infill material has at least one layer of a mixture of a predetermined amount of cereal husks, and of at least one defibrated arboreus material which is resistant to microbial digestion, such as a loose final product from raw material based on coir, or sawdust of a wood obtained by a raw material with high content of lignin, such as Teck pulp material, Mahogany pulp material, Iroko pulp material, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2010Publication date: July 26, 2012Applicant: MAR.

Patent number: 7943212Abstract: Turf (1) for playing sport, for recreation and/or for ornamental purpose comprising a flexible not biodegradable support (5) having a plurality of holes (6) for allowing the drainage of water through the support (5) same. To the flexible support (5) fibres (20) are connected of artificial material in order to form a turf of artificial blades extending from the upper side of the support (5). The fibres (20) are then kept substantially vertical by granular filling material (25), can be made of rubber granules (26). The turf (1) is therefore completed by living vegetable material put into the granular material by means of sowing, transplantation of portions of plants (15) or a combination thereof. Finally, the living vegetable material in the form of seeds (27), or of portions of plants (15), is watered and dressed as known in the art. The turf can be easily carried, rolled up, turned over without spreading the granular material, and laid in a desired moment on a desired support surface for immediate use.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Inventors: Roberto Nusca, Marco Volterrani
