Artificial lawn and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing an artificial lawn, characterized by comprising steps of:

• folding a lawn strand (23) in two at an intermediate position in its longitudinal direction, the lawn strand comprising a large number of fine resin strings (24) bundled and twisted into a shape of a rope;
• forcibly fitting the fold of the lawn strand (23) into a predetermined one of root portion pots (6) of a laying board (3) formed with a plurality of root portion pots (6) capable of receiving the folds;
• driving a bifurcate pin member (7) having two pin tips onto a crotch part of the fold from which the lawn strand (23) extending out of the root portion pot (6) is divided into two directions, such that the pin member traverses the crotch part and strides across both sides of an opening of the root portion pot (6);
• and thereafter unfastening the respective rope strands of the lawn strand (23) extending out of the root portion pot (6), thereby separating the resin strings (24) from each other.

• folding one of the lawn strand (23) extending out of the root portion pot (6) at a position the lawn strand reaches an adjacent root portion pot (6);
• forcibly fitting the fold of the lawn strand (23) into the adjacent root portion pot (6);
• driving a bifurcate pin member (7) onto a crotch part of the fold, similarly to the above;
• cutting an intermediate part of the lawn strand (23) bridging between the adjacent root portion pots (6);
• and thereafter unfastening the respective rope strands of the lawn strand (23) extending out of each of the root portion pots (6), thereby separating the resin strings (24) from each other.
