Abstract

Embodiments relate to a method for manufacturing a screen fabric to be installed in a golf simulator, the method including: a step of manufacturing a fabric body having a predetermined area by processing a biodegradable resin (poly(lactic acid) (PLA)) into yarn and weaving the yarn; and a coating step of applying a coating solution to at least one of both surfaces of the fabric body to form a coating layer, wherein at least one gap exposing the fabric body is formed in the coating layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for manufacturing a screen fabric for a golf simulator, the method being a method for manufacturing a screen fabric to be installed in a golf simulator, the method comprising:
a step of manufacturing a fabric body having a predetermined area by processing a biodegradable resin (poly(lactic acid) (PLA)) into yarn and weaving the yarn; and a coating step of applying a coating solution to at least one of both surfaces of the fabric body to form a coating layer, wherein at least one gap exposing the fabric body is formed in the coating layer.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating step comprises:
a step of forming a first row of a coating layer by applying a coating solution containing polyurethane or silicone along at least one of a longitudinal direction and width direction of the fabric body to have a predetermined width; and a step of repeatedly forming multiple rows of a coating layer, which each have the same width as that of the first row of the coating layer and are spaced apart with a predetermined gap therebetween.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the coating layer and the gap are each formed to have a width smaller than a maximum diameter of a golf ball.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the coating layer and the gap are each formed to have a width that allows at least two gaps to be positioned within the region corresponding to the maximum diameter of the golf ball.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating step comprises:
a step of forming a first polygonal region of a coating layer by applying a coating solution containing polyurethane or silicone in a polygonal shape to one surface of the fabric body; and a step of repeatedly forming polygonal regions of the coating layer in a length direction and width direction of the fabric body while forming the gap in a polygonal shape between the polygonal regions of the coating layer.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the polygonal regions of the coating layer and the gap are each formed as a polygon having an area smaller than the maximum diameter of the golf ball.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the polygonal regions of the coating layer and the gap are each formed to have an area that allows at least two gaps to be positioned within the region corresponding to the maximum diameter of the golf ball.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of manufacturing the fabric body comprises:
a step of processing the biodegradable resin into filaments and staple fibers; a step of manufacturing yarn by processing the filaments and staple fibers into yarn; a step of weaving the yarn into the fabric body; and a step of post-processing the woven fabric body.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the step of manufacturing the yarn comprises:
a step of manufacturing a covering yarn by covering the filaments and the staple fibers; and a step of completing the yarn by twisting multiple strands of the covering yarn.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the step of weaving the yarn into the fabric body comprises weaving the yarn into a plain weave or twill weave.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the step of post-processing comprises:
a step of refining the fabric body; a step of dyeing the refined fabric body; a step of subjecting the dyed fabric body to flame-retardant treatment; and a step of subjecting the fabric body to water-repellent treatment.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, before the coating step, a CIRE processing step of pressing the fabric body with a predetermined pressure through rollers at a predetermined temperature.

13 . A screen fabric to be installed in a golf simulator, the screen fabric comprising:
a fabric body formed by processing a biodegradable resin into yarn and weaving the yarn into a fabric having a predetermined area; a coating layer formed by applying a coating solution to at least one surface of the fabric body; and at least one gap formed with a predetermined width in the coating layer to divide the coating layer into multiple rows while exposing the fabric body.

14 . The screen fabric of claim 13 , wherein the coating layer divided into multiple rows and the gap are each formed to have a width that allows at least two gaps to be positioned within a region corresponding to a maximum diameter of a golf ball.
