Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rasenbefestigungsplatte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lawn mounting plate according to the preamble of claim 1.

Rasenbefestigungsplatten dieser Gattung dienen zum Befestigen der Grasnarbe insbesondere von Parkplätzen, Feuerwehrzufahrten, Golfplatzfahrwegen bzw. allgemein von stärker beanspruchten Rasenflächen. Die zu einem Verbund zusammengefügten Rasenbefestigungsplatten werden im Erdreich verlegt, die Waben mit Erde angefüllt und sodann der Rasen eingesät.Lawn fastening plates of this type are used to fasten the turf, in particular of parking lots, fire brigade driveways, golf course driveways or generally more heavily used lawns. The lawn fastening plates, which are joined to form a composite, are laid in the ground, the honeycombs are filled with earth and the lawn is then sown.

Aus der US-PS 4 111 585 ist eine Rasenbefestigungsplatte mit wabenartiger, sechseckiger Zellenanordnung bekannt, welche eine mit nach unten weisenden Vorsprüngen und Entwässerungsöffnungen versehene Bodenwand aufweist. Die Entwässerungsöffnungen sind dabei als zentrische Durchbrüche in jeder Zelle ausgebildet. Zum Verbinden benachbarter Platten sind an den Plattenrändern Rastnasen vorgesehen, die beim Zusammenschieben mit den Zellenwänden der benachbarten Platten verrasten.From US-PS 4 111 585 a lawn mounting plate with a honeycomb-like, hexagonal cell arrangement is known, which has a bottom wall provided with projections and drainage openings pointing downwards. The drainage openings are designed as central openings in each cell. To connect adjacent plates, locking lugs are provided on the plate edges, which latch when pushed together with the cell walls of the adjacent plates.

Damit sich eine geschlossene Grasnarbe über die einzelnen Zellen hinweg in dem Plattenverbund ausbilden kann, sind an den oberen Rändern der Zellenwände Nuten ausgespart, durch welche sich die Wurzeln der verschiedenen Grasbüschel in benachbarten Waben miteinander verflechten können. Ein Problem liegt allerdings darin, daß, nachträglich bei nassem Wetter die Grasbüschel aus einzelnen Zellen am Absatz von Schuhen hinübergehender Personen oder Rädern von befahrenden Fahrzeugen hängenbleiben und herausgerissen werden können, wobei wegen der gegenseitigen Wurzelverflechtung durch die nach oben offenen Nuten hindurch auch Grasbüschel benachbarten Zellen mitherausgerissen werden können.So that a closed turf can form over the individual cells in the panel assembly, grooves are left on the upper edges of the cell walls, through which the roots of the various tufts of grass in neighboring honeycombs can interweave. One problem, however, is that, afterwards in wet weather, the tufts of grass from individual cells get stuck on the heel of shoes from people or bicycles from vehicles driving on them and can be torn out, with tufts of grass neighboring due to the mutual entanglement of roots through the upwardly open grooves Cells can be pulled out.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verbesserung der Rasenbefestigungsplatte im Hinblick auf eine bessere Geschlossenheit und einen besseren Zusammenhalt der Grasnarbe zu schaffen, ohne den Fertigungsaufwand übermäßig zu erhöhen.The invention has for its object to provide an improvement in the lawn mounting plate with a view to better closeness and better cohesion of the turf, without excessively increasing the manufacturing effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Rasenbefestigungsplatte gelöst. Durch die Erfindung erfolgt die gegenseitige Wurzelverflechtung unterhalb der Zellenoberkanten der Rasenbefestigungsplatte, wodurch ein absolut fester Rückhalt der Grasbüschel in den einzelnen Zellen gegen Herausreißen erreicht wird.This object is achieved by the lawn mounting plate characterized in claim 1. The invention interweaves the roots below the cell top edges of the lawn mounting plate, whereby an absolutely firm retention of the tufts of grass in the individual cells against tearing out is achieved.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 2 entfallen Nuten und dadurch bedingte scharfe Kanten an der Oberseite der Rasenbefestigungsplatte, wie sie bei der bekannten Rasenbefestigungsplatte zur Ermöglichung der Wurzelverflechtung vorgesehen sind, wodurch sich eine ebene Kontur ergibt. Dadurch wird das Verletzungsrisiko bei Stürzen auf der Rasenbefestigungsplatte wesentlich vermindert.In the embodiment according to claim 2 there are no grooves and consequent sharp edges on the top of the lawn mounting plate, as are provided in the known lawn mounting plate to enable root intertwining, which results in a flat contour. This significantly reduces the risk of injury when falling on the lawn mounting plate.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 5 bewirkt eine größere Steifigkeit der verlegten, zusammengefügten Rasenbefestigungsplatte in der Bodenebene.The embodiment according to claim 5 causes greater rigidity of the installed, assembled lawn mounting plate in the floor level.

Lediglich eines mehrerer denkbarer Ausführungsbeispiele wird nachfolgend anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen erläutert, in welchen zeigt:

Fig. 1
Die Draufsicht eines Ausschnitts einer erfindungsgemäßen Rasenbefestigungsplatte,
Fig. 2
Die Untersicht der Rasenbefestigungsplatte nach Fig. 1,
Fig. 3
Einen Schnitt entsprechend der Linie III-III in Fig. 1
Only one of several conceivable exemplary embodiments is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1
The top view of a section of a lawn mounting plate according to the invention,
Fig. 2
The bottom view of the lawn mounting plate according to Fig. 1,
Fig. 3
A section along the line III-III in Fig. 1st

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Draufsicht zeigt den linken oberen Eckenausschnitt einer im wesentlichen rechteckigen Rasenbefestigungsplatte. Die Rasenbefestigungsplatte besteht aus einer Bodenwand 1 und einer damit einstückigen und darauf senkrecht stehenden wabenartigen, sechseckigen Zellenanordnung 2. Sie wird üblicherweise aus Kunststoff und im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt. Zur Verwurzelung der Grasnarbe mit dem Untergrund, zum Nährstoffausgleich und der Entwässerung sind in der Bodenwand 1 jeweils mittig in den einzelnen Zellen kreisrunde Öffnungen 3 ausgespart. Auf der Unterseite der Bodenwand (siehe auch Fig. 2 und 3) sind wiederum mit dieser einstückig Vorsprünge 4 in größeren Abständen angeordnet, wobei in den Zeichnungen auf den dargestellten Ausschnitt nur ein solcher Vorsprung 4 entfällt. Diese Vorsprünge dienen beim Verlegen zur Verankerung der Rasenbefestigungsplatten mit dem Boden.The top view shown in Fig. 1 shows the upper left corner section of a substantially rectangular turf mounting plate. The lawn mounting plate consists of a bottom wall 1 and a honeycomb-like, hexagonal cell arrangement 2, which is integral with it and perpendicular to it. It is usually produced from plastic and by injection molding. To root the turf with the subsoil, for nutrient balance and for drainage, circular openings 3 are cut out in the center of the bottom wall 1 in the individual cells. On the underside of the bottom wall (see also FIGS. 2 and 3), protrusions 4 are again arranged in one piece therewith at greater intervals, only one such protrusion 4 being omitted in the drawings of the detail shown. These protrusions are used to anchor the lawn mounting plates to the floor during installation.

Erfindungsgemäß sind Öffnungen 5 in der Bodenwand und öffnungen 6 in den Zellenwänden zwischen Bodenwand 1 und oberem Rand 21 der Zellenwand vorgesehen. Diese werden entsprechend der bevorzugten Ausführungsform an den Knotenpunkten dreier aufeinandertreffender Zellenwände gebildet. An Knotenpunkten, an welchen Vorsprünge 4 angeordnet sind, wird aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen auf die Ausbildung genannter Öffnungen 5 und 6 verzichtet.According to the invention, openings 5 are provided in the bottom wall and openings 6 in the cell walls between the bottom wall 1 and the upper edge 21 of the cell wall. In accordance with the preferred embodiment, these are formed at the nodes of three meeting cell walls. At junctions at which projections 4 are arranged, the formation of said openings 5 and 6 is dispensed with for manufacturing reasons.

Wie aus Fig. 2 erkennbar ist, wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Öffnungen 6 eine ebene Kontur am oberen Rand 21 der Zellenanordnung 2 geschaffen. Dennoch sind durch die Öffnungen 6 die Zellen miteinander verbunden, wodurch der gewünschte Zusammenhalt der Graswurzelstöcke erreicht wird.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the inventive configuration of the openings 6 creates a flat contour at the upper edge 21 of the cell arrangement 2. Nevertheless, the cells are connected to one another through the openings 6, as a result of which the desired cohesion of the grass roots is achieved.

Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist sich die Anordnung der Öffnungen 5 und 6 an den Knotenpunkten, weil dort gleichzeitig in drei verschiedenen Zellenwänden entsprechende Öffnung entstehen. Durch diese Öffnungen ist ein gegenseitiger Nährstoffaustausch und eine gegenseitige Regenerierung (bei einem evtl. Absterben eines einzelnen Wurzelstocks) in die benachbarten Waben möglich. Die Verwurzelungen im unteren Bereich sind von jeglichen mechanischen Einwirkungen geschützt (Reifendruck etc.). Dies schließt die Gefahr der Beschädigung der Verwurzelung aus, wie sie bei den bekannten Platten mit obenliegenden Verbingungsnuten gegeben ist. Nährstoffausgleich und Regenerierung werden somit nicht beeinträchtigt.The arrangement of the openings 5 and 6 at the nodes has proven to be particularly advantageous because corresponding openings are created in three different cell walls at the same time. Through these openings, a mutual exchange of nutrients and a mutual regeneration (in the event of the death of a single rhizome) into the neighboring honeycombs is possible. The roots in the lower area are protected from any mechanical influences (tire pressure, etc.). This eliminates the risk of damaging the rooting, as is the case with the known plates with overlying connecting grooves. Nutrient balance and regeneration are not affected.

Entsprechend der Fig. 1 ist der linke Rand der Rasenbefestigungsplatte abwechselnd von einem eine Rastnase 7 aufweisenden Bodenwandbereich, welcher über eine Zelle hervorsteht, und einer über die Bodenwand 1 hervorstehenden Zellwand gebildet. Am rechten Rand der Rasenbefestigungsplatte, welcher nicht dargestellt ist, zeigt sich das gleiche Bild, nur, daß die Wechselfolge um eine Zelle versetzt ist. Analog verhält es sich mit dem teilweise in Fig. 1 dargestellten oberen Rand und dem nicht dargestellten unteren Rand der Rasenbefestigungsplatte.According to FIG. 1, the left edge of the lawn mounting plate is alternately formed by a bottom wall region which has a latching lug 7 and which protrudes beyond a cell, and a cell wall protruding beyond the bottom wall 1. On the right edge of the lawn mounting plate, which is not shown, the same picture is shown, only that the alternation is offset by one cell. The situation is analogous with the upper edge, which is partially shown in FIG. 1, and the lower edge, not shown, of the lawn mounting plate.

Beim seitlichen Zusammenschieben mehrerer Rasenbefestigungsplatten schieben sich also die entsprechenden hervorstehenden Bodenwandbereiche unter die über die Bodenwand der benachbarten Rasenbefestigungsplatte überstehende Zellenwand, wobei sich die geschlitzte Rastnase 7 etwas nach unten biegt und beim vollständigen Aneinanderliegen an der entsprechenden Zellenwand einrastet. Durch diese Verbindung ist weder eine horizontale noch eine vertikale Relativbewegung zwischen benachbarter Rasenbefestigungsplatten möglich.When several lawn fastening plates are pushed together laterally, the corresponding protruding bottom wall areas slide under the cell wall projecting beyond the bottom wall of the adjacent lawn fastening plate, the slotted latching nose 7 bending slightly downward and engaging on the corresponding cell wall when it lies completely against one another. With this connection, neither a horizontal nor a vertical relative movement between adjacent lawn mounting plates is possible.
