Abstract
Improved sports flooring for practicing sports indoor as in sports halls, for example basketball, football, handball, volleyball, etc. It has improved biomechanical characteristics and the vertical bouncing height is higher than 90%, having also a friction coefficient appropriate to run and rotate rapidly. It is comprised of a double-panel marine (quality) plywood (1,3) joined to each other with angle offset of 45.degree.. Elements or feet (2) made of rubber or the like, in contact with the ground, are added or stapled to the lower panel (1). On the visible face of the second marine panel (3) is applied a layer of glue for lying sticking the agglomerated cork sheets (4), in a joined configuration. Finally, two varnish layers (5) are applied.
Claims1
In a sports flooring for practicing indoor sports in sports halls, such as basketball, football, volleyball, wherein the biomechanical characteristics of the flooring are important and the bouncing height of said flooring is higher than 90% with frictional coefficient suitable for playing said sports safely, and said flooring comprising:
- A) first and second plywood panels joined to each with an offset angle of approximately 45 degrees, and said joined first and second plywood panels having an underside and an upperside,
- B) a plurality of feet members mounted to said underside and said feet members being made out of rubber;
- C) a cork panel having first and second surfaces, said first surface being mounted over said upperside and said cork panel having an approximate density of 550 Kg./m.sup.3 ;
- D) at least two layers of varnish applied to the other surface of said cork panel.
