Method And Device For Installing Synthetic Turf

Номер: US20120067996A1
Автор: David P. Motz, Joseph E. Motz
Принадлежит: Technology Licensing Corp

A method and device for installing synthetic turf uses a motorized turf rollout vehicle and a frame removably carried by the vehicle, the frame holding a roll of synthetic turf on a spindle at a first, forward end thereof. The roll and spindle are held in an orientation that is transverse to the first forward direction, and have a transverse dimension that extends beyond that of the vehicle. As the vehicle moves forward in the first direction, the vehicle engages and pulls the roll of turf, and the vehicle also moves on top of the just-unrolled portion of the turf. This accurately and efficiently places the turf on and over the base, in a desired position. Because the vehicle moves on top of the just unrolled section of turf, the present invention eliminates direct contact with, and disruption to, the underlying prepared base. This method and device reduces the time and cost associated with locating a roll of synthetic turf over a base during the installation of an athletic field, compared to prior installation methods.

Coreless tissue rolls can be produced without having to use an adhesive to form a hollow center. Instead, moisture can be used to promote light hydrogen bonding between the layers of the tissue web that line the hollow center. The hydrogen bonding provides sufficient structure to maintain the shape of the hollow center without rendering the tissue web surrounding the passageway unusable. Passageways can also be formed in accordance with the present disclosure that are substantially circular so that the rolls will easily spin on a spindle. In an alternative embodiment, moisture is not used in constructing the wound tissue roll. 118-. (canceled)19. A process for producing a careless tissue roll comprising:wetting a leading edge or near a leading edge of a tissue sheet with an aqueous solution, the aqueous solution being adhesive free;contacting the leading edge of the tissue sheet with a mandrel;rotating the mandrel in order to wind the tissue sheet into a roll, the roll having an exterior surface as it is wound;cutting the tissue sheet to complete the roll; andstripping the finished roll from the mandrel, the finished roll defining an axially passageway that extends from a first end of the roll to a second and opposite end of the roll in a direction perpendicular to the length of the tissue sheet, the passageway being lined only by the tissue sheet.20.

APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING THE REMOVAL OF EXISTING TURF AND INSTALLING NEW TURF

Номер: US20130330156A1
Автор: Motz David P., Motz Joseph E.
Принадлежит: Technology Licensing Corporation

A turf cutter device, an infill extractor/collector device, and a turf wind-up device are used to facilitate the cost-effective removal of an infilled synthetic turf and the subsequent installation of a new turf at the same site, with minimal subsurface disruption. An infill extractor/collector device mounted on a motorized vehicle moves a relatively narrow strip of filled artificial turf from the surface, in front of the vehicle, and directs the strip to an infill removal station. The infill removal station inverts the strip and redirects the strip back toward the front of the vehicle, after agitating the strip to extract the infill. After redirecting the strip toward the front of the vehicle, the vehicle drives over the unfilled strip. Meanwhile, the extractor/collector device moves the extracted infill rearwardly to a bag located in a trailer. The turf cutter device is used prior to infill extraction, while the turf wind up device may be used before or after infill extraction, depending on whether infill extraction takes place at the field or at a remote site, respectively. 1. A turf winding apparatus for winding a strip of artificial turf , the strip having a width defined by opposite longitudinal edges , comprising:a frame having an elongated member and a pair of spaced arms extending in a first direction from the elongated member;a pair of opposing winding units, each winding unit located at a respective first end of one of the spaced arms, the winding units aligned along a first axis; andeach of the winding units further including a base secured to the respective arm, a hub rotatable relative to the base, a holder mounted to and rotatable with the hub, and a drive source operatively connected to the hub to rotatably drive the hub, whereby, with the holders engaging the opposite edges of the strip, the hubs are rotatable so as to wind the strip of artificial turf about the first axis to place the turf in a rolled up orientation.2.

Equine bandage wrapper

Номер: US20160058633A1
Автор: Mark Peltier, Sally Broten
Принадлежит: Individual

An equine bandage wrapping device includes a motor with a rotating drive shaft mounted on a hinged bracket. A forked spindle coupled to the motor engages the bandage. The hinged bracket pivots in response to external force causing a torque on the hinge. The external force is supplied by the user pulling slightly against the bandage while it is secured to the forks. Such force is resisted by a spring disposed between a base plate and the underside of the floating end of the hinged bracket. If sufficient force is applied to overcome the spring force, then the electrical circuit between the motor and power source is closed, resulting in the motor turning on. The circuit is opened by removing the external force to cause the spring to return to its extended position, resulting in the motor stopping movement.

A continuous reel-to-reel arrangement ( 1 ), for transportation of continuous substrate materials ( 3 ) from an unwinding material reel ( 2 ) to a winding material reel ( 4 ), comprises at least two guiding rolls ( 5 ) arranged to align the substrate material ( 3 ) when being rolled off from the unwinding material reel ( 2 ) before entering into at least one treatment zone ( 6 ), and at least two guiding rolls ( 5 ) arranged to align the substrate material ( 3 ) when exiting the at least one treatment zone ( 6 ) before being winded up on the winding material reel ( 4 ). At least one of the guiding rolls ( 5 ) arranged to align the substrate material ( 3 ) when exiting the at least one treatment zone is a driving roll ( 13 ), and at least one of the guiding rolls ( 5 ) arranged to align the substrate material ( 3 ) when being rolled off from the unwinding material reel ( 2 ) is a braking roll ( 12 ), arranged to apply a constant braking force to the substrate material ( 3 ) when the substrate material ( 3 ) is driven through the at least one treatment zone ( 6 ). Thereby, the risk of plastically deforming the substrate material ( 3 ) is low during transportation and during unwinding/winding and the risk of subjecting the material to wear is also low.
