Abstract
An artificial turf structure, an apparatus, a method for manufacturing the same are provided. In accordance of the present invention, the apparatus for manufacturing the artificial turf structure includes a backing fabric providing unit for providing a first backing fabric and a second backing fabric forming a first structure, a weaving unit for weaving a second structure in which a part of pile yarns are exposed under the first structure by tufting the pile yarns to upper parts of the first structure, and a heat-fusing unit for compressing the second structure using tension and heat-fusing the pile yarns exposed under the second structure using heat.
Claims27
An apparatus for manufacturing an artificial turf structure, comprising:
- a backing fabric providing unit for providing a first backing fabric and a second backing fabric to form a first structure;
- a weaving unit for weaving a second structure in which a part of pile yarns are exposed under the first structure by tufting the pile yarns to an upper part of the first structure;
- and
- a heat-fusing unit for compressing the second structure using tension and heat-fusing the pile yarns exposed under the second structure using heat.

8-14. (canceled)
An artificial turf structure, comprising:
- a structure including a first backing fabric and a second backing fabric;
- and
- pile yarns tufted to an upper part of the structure and partly exposed under the structure, wherein the pile yarns are compressed into the structure and a part of the exposed pile yarns are heat-fused to the structure.
An apparatus for manufacturing artificial turf structure, comprising:
- a weaving unit for weaving a structure in which a part of pile yarns are exposed under a backing fabric by penetrating the backing fabric to tuft the pile yarns;
- a film providing unit for providing a film toward a back side of the structure;
- and
- a heat-fusing unit for compressing the structure and the film using tension and heat-fusing the film under the structure and the structure using heat.

28-32. (canceled)
An artificial turf structure comprising:
- a structure in which pile yarns partly exposed under a backing fabric by penetrating the backing fabric to tuft the pile yarns;
- and
- a film disposed under the structure to fix the structure, wherein the film is compressed into the structure by tension and heat-fused to the structure by heat.
