2. Description of the Related Art Synthetic resin fiber yarns such as polyamide and polyvinylidene chloride are planted in a woven fabric, and the back surface thereof is piled with synthetic rubber or the like to use an artificial turf, for example, a tennis court, golf course or baseball field. It is known that, when used for such purposes, by filling the grass with a granular material such as sand, the buffering performance and catching of spikes and the like can be made as close as possible to natural grass.

[0003] In such artificial turf containing sand or other granular material, when upright artificial turf leaves are used, unevenness occurs due to the movement of the granular material over time, or solidification of the granular material such as sand. There has been a problem that the elastic force is reduced. In order to solve this problem, conventionally, for example,
As proposed in US Pat. No. 24007 or the like, the tip of flat artificial grass is curled downward using a heater roller or the like as illustrated in FIG. Measures such as curling in three dimensions are taken as exemplified.

However, when the tip of the artificial grass is curled downward or three-dimensionally, the following problems occur. First, when the granular material such as sand is filled into the lawn leaf, the dispersed granular material does not enter the lawn leaf well, and the efficiency of the filling operation is extremely difficult.

Second, it has been found that, although not so much at the beginning of the filling of the granular material, the thickness of the filled granular material layer greatly decreases as the granular material flows out over a long period of time. This is because the curled turf leaf is stretched by brushing at the time of spraying the granular material, and the granular material is initially filled during that time, but it is affected by rain etc. over time and the stability of the turf leaf is added The thickness gradually decreases. For example, a material filled with granular materials up to 22 mm for a thickness of 25 mm made of only turf leaves has a thickness of 15 m after approximately one year.

An object of the present invention is to provide an artificial turf containing a granular material capable of maintaining a state for a long period of time.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the artificial turf containing granular material of the present invention comprises a plurality of yarns on a base cloth.
Granules are filled in the artificial grass turf where the objects are planted
In the artificial turf containing granular material thus obtained, the above-mentioned filamentous material is
Is crimped respectively zigzag, each filamentous material on said base fabric is characterized by forming a three-dimensional zig-zag structure as a whole. Here, in the present specification, that the thread is crimped in a zigzag shape means that after the thread has risen from the base cloth, it does not face downward even if it is bent like a conventional curl. , Which means that it is bent in a zigzag shape having a bending point a plurality of times after rising from the base cloth and extends upward, and the direction of bending of one thread is two-dimensional or three-dimensional, When viewed from above while planted on the base cloth, a plurality of thread-like objects bent in a zigzag shape having bending points in all directions as a whole 3
It just needs to have a dimensional structure.

[Action] Without curling the tip of the thread downward,
The zigzag shape facilitates the filling operation of the granular material such as sand, and makes it possible to fill a large amount of the granular material in a short time. In addition, the zigzag thread-like material is not only hard to be solidified because the thread-like material is three-dimensionally interposed in the granular material to prevent the movement of sand, and the elasticity dissolves the granular material such as sand, and also from above. It has been confirmed through experiments that it has a resistance to the force of Example 1 and a small decrease in thickness even after long-term use.

In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the filling operation of the granular material is easier and the thread-like material can be easily formed as compared with the case where the tip of each filament is curled downward or the one which is curled three-dimensionally. With the length of the object 2... 2 being about 30 mm, a granular material of about 30 kg / m 2 could be easily filled with a crimp rate of several percent. Further, in order to compare the hardness of the granular material 4 after filling, when a soft baseball ball was dropped from a height of 2 m, it rebounded to a height of about 35 cm. In addition, since the bent filaments 2... 2 are interposed in the granules 4, the granules are disentangled by the elastic force of the filaments 2.
It turned out that it was hard to become hard and cushioning property was hard to be spoiled.

On the other hand, when only the thread-like material is straightened with the same structure, the soft baseball ball dropped from a height of 2 m rebounds up to 55 cm, and the embodiment of the present invention has a better cushioning property from the beginning. Was confirmed. In addition, the same structure was used, and only the thread-like material was formed into a shape having a total length of 32 mm and the tip portion curled downward to 25 mm, and the granular material was filled in the same manner as above. , Only 20 kg / m 2 could be filled. Then, the rebound of the rubber ball is initially equivalent to that of the embodiment of the present invention, but after about half a year, the thickness of the granular material layer is thin and hard, and from the same height of 2 mm. The dropped rubber baseball ball rebounded to a height of 50 cm, and it was found that the cushioning property was extremely lower than that of the example of the present invention.

The degree of the zigzag crimp of each of the filaments 2 of the present invention is preferably 10% or less, and most preferably 1 to 2.
It is about 2%. That is, when the crimp ratio exceeds 2%, the drag against the force from above gradually decreases, and the thickness tends to decrease with time, and the workability of the filling operation of the granular material gradually deteriorates. I do. Further, when the crimping ratio is less than 1%, the independence of the turf decreases, the cushioning property gradually deteriorates, and at the time of filling the granular material, the thread-like material easily falls down, and the workability gradually deteriorates. I do.

As described above, according to the present invention, each thread forming the turf leaf of the artificial turf is crimped in a zigzag shape to form a three-dimensional zigzag structure as a whole on the base cloth. The resistance to the force from above is larger than that of the conventional curled down end or three-dimensional curl as a whole, and the cushioning property is not impaired even by long-term use. The decrease in the amount of the granular material filled between the filamentous materials was small, and it was possible to maintain the initial performance for a long period of time, so that not only the maintenance was easy, but also the operation of filling the granular material was extremely easy.
