CA 2390960

An apparatus for an a method of closing a fixed gap in an activity surface such as a turfed race-track is described. The apparatus comprises a movable turf tray having an upper surface with the same characteristics as the activity surface and means for guiding the tray into the gap so as to wedge the tray releasably in the gap and thereby to provide a substantially continuous activity surface. The apparatus can be used to provide a reconfigurable racetrack crossing with the permanent road gap in the racetrack being closeable by means of the movable turf tray. Overlapping edges of the turf tray provide a weight wedging action which provides reliable pressure joins. This also has application for creating reconfigurable turfed activity surfaces such as are used in sports stadia and the like.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à combler un espace fixe dans une surface d'activité telle qu'un hippodrome gazonné. L'appareil comprend un plateau de gazon mobile possédant une surface supérieure présentant des caractéristiques identiques à celles de la surface d'activité, et un dispositif destiné à acheminer le plateau dans l'espace de manière à caler le plateau de façon amovible dans l'espace et à former ainsi une surface d'activité sensiblement continue. L'appareil peut être utilisé pour former un croisement d'hippodrome reconfigurable avec l'espace de route de l'hippodrome pouvant être fermé à l'aide du plateau de gazon mobile. Les bords chevauchants du plateau de gazon forment des éléments permettant de supporter le poids formant des jointures sous pression fiables. L'invention s'applique également à la création de surfaces d'activité gazonnées telles que celles qui sont utilisées dans les stades sportifs et analogues.
