Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0636393A1] This method consists in marking turfed sports pitches by laying down the strands of the lawn (blades of grass) in certain zones and in raising it (them) up in other zones, so as to form an image and/or a word. The difference in orientation of the strands of the lawn is highly visible to the spectator. The strands are laid down by means of an apparatus mounted on rollers (3) and which rolls over the lawn surface. The same apparatus is provided with brushes (2) which rotate and which stand the strands of lawn up over certain defined sectors (13). The sectors form an image or the letters of a word. The motors (11) which control the path of the apparatus and the brushes (2) are electric and are controlled by a computer, the image to be reproduced and the position of the apparatus on the surface to be treated being stored in the computer. <IMAGE>
