(54) Process for handling artificial turf


(57) process of removing from a floor a section of impervious artificial turf made up of a backing layer and grass-like material extending upwardly from the backing layer to simulate grass wherein the artificial turf is withdrawn along a path from the floor onto a driven take-up roll, with the path having a configuration such that along a portion of the path, the grass-like material extends downwardly from the backing layer. That portion of the path in which the grass-like material extends downwardly from the backing layer is positioned between the floor and a covering point on the take-up roll, with such portion of the path also being clear of the remainder of the artificial turf.
