Description

1

The invention relates to an overflow channel system for a basin according to the

Preamble of claim 1.

An overflow gutter is a gutter leading around a pool filled with liquid, for example a swimming pool, which collects overflowing amounts of the liquid. The overflow channel has a side wall, which has a wall facing the basin and a wall facing away from the basin, the liquid being collected in the space between the walls. The overflow channel is usually covered by a grate as a cover, which together with the overflow channel form the overflow channel system. The grate lies on the two walls of the overflow channel. Due to the rust, the overflowing liquid from the basin into the

Overflow channel.

A disadvantage of known overflow channel systems is that the many openings in the grate can quickly lead to unsanitary situations and are difficult to clean. Furthermore, the liquid sloshing through the perforations in the grate provides for annoying noises, which is common

relaxing atmosphere of a swimming pool is detrimental.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide an overflow channel system of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the disadvantages mentioned can be avoided, which is hygienic, safe, simple and simple in design

Maintenance is, and also ensures less noise pollution. According to the invention this is achieved by the features of claim 1.

This has the advantage that the overflow channel system is hygienic, safe, simple to set up and easy to maintain, and it also ensures less noise pollution. This is achieved in that perforation-free plates are used as at least one cover, and the liquid can flow into the overflow channel by gaps between the cover and the respective wall. By removing the covers, the gaps are opened and can be removed by simply wiping the side edges

Covers and the paragraph of the respective wall can be cleaned. By

2nd

the support bodies can easily and reliably ensure the appropriate spacing and gap dimensions, so that the liquid can run off reliably. It has surprisingly been found that a gap between the covers and the walls that is securely walkable in terms of width is sufficient for the liquid to drain off. Furthermore, the structure is particularly simple due to the support body, since no moving connections such as hinges are required. Since the liquid flows along the walls into the overflow channel instead of falling through the perforations of a grate in the center of the overflow channel, there is also noise during operation

less.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a support body according to the

Claim 15.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a support body for an overflow channel system of the type mentioned at the outset with which the disadvantages mentioned can be avoided and with which an advantageous overflow channel system can be produced particularly easily and quickly

can. According to the invention this is achieved by the features of claim 15.

This has the advantage that an advantageous overflow channel system can be produced particularly easily and quickly with these support bodies. The L-shape of the support body ensures both a sufficient horizontal spacing and a sufficient vertical spacing of the covers from the shoulder of the respective wall. Due to the shape of the spacer, even conventional overflow channel systems with a grate can easily be retrofitted to overflow channel systems with perforation-free plates as covers. The at least one tool-free detachable layer on the installation surface allows the distance between the installation surface and the support surface to be reduced particularly quickly and easily, but also permanently. This means that one type of support body for various covers made of different materials and corresponding thickness is sufficient to cover the top of the

Keep covers in line with the top of the walls.

Presentation.

1 to 4 show at least parts of preferred embodiments of an overflow channel system 1 for a pool 2, in particular swimming pools, the overflow channel system 1 comprising an overflow channel 3, the overflow channel 3 having a first wall 4 and a second wall 5 in cross section, one of which Top of the overflow channel 3 is covered by at least one cover 6, the first wall 4 and / or the second wall 5 on an inside of the overflow channel 3 having at least one shoulder 7 for supporting the at least one cover 6, the at least one cover 6 as Breakthrough-free plate is formed, a plurality of support bodies 8 being arranged on the at least one shoulder 7, the at least one cover 6 resting on the support bodies 8 and being spaced apart from the at least one shoulder 7 by the support bodies 8, and the support bodies 8 being in one

Longitudinal extension of the overflow channel 3 are spaced from each other, so that in

4th

the areas between the support bodies 8 liquid-permeable gaps 9 between the at least one shoulder 7 and the at least one cover 6

form.

This has the advantage that the overflow channel system 1 is hygienic, safe, simple in construction and easy to maintain, and furthermore ensures less noise pollution. This is achieved in that perforation-free plates are used as at least one cover 6, and the liquid can flow through gaps 9 between the cover 6 and the respective wall 4, 5 into the overflow channel 3. By removing the covers 6, the gaps 9 are opened and can be cleaned by simply wiping the side edges of the covers 9 and the shoulder 7 of the respective wall 4, 5. The corresponding spacings and gap dimensions can be ensured simply and reliably by the support body 8, so that the liquid can run off reliably. It has surprisingly been found that a gap 9 between the covers 6 and the walls 4, 5 that is securely walkable in terms of width is sufficient for the liquid to drain off. Furthermore, the structure by the support body 8 is particularly simple since no movable connections such as hinges are required. Since the liquid flows along the walls 4, 5 into the overflow trough 3, instead of falling into the overflow trough 3 in the middle through perforations of a grate, the noise is also generated

less during operation.

An overflow channel 3 is a channel arranged on an edge of a basin 2, which collects and transfers overflowing liquids from the basin 2.

Such overflow channels 3 are common, for example, in swimming pools.

The overflow channel 3 has a first wall 4 and a second wall 5, which are formed in particular from prefabricated shaped blocks. Completed down into the overflow channel 3 by a bottom 19. The first wall 4 and the second wall 5 can then be placed on the side wall of the basin during construction of the basin 2. The walls 4, 5 can, for example, be part of a U-shaped prefabricated part 18 comprising the bottom 19 of the

Overflow gutter 3, or be concreted as separate stones on site.

5

In particular, the first wall 4 is intended to face the liquid in the basin 2 during operation. Correspondingly, the second wall 5 faces away from the liquid in the basin 2. The first wall 4 can in particular have an overflow edge 20 for the liquid, it being possible for an incline to be arranged in front of the overflow edge 20. Such an embodiment is common, for example, in a so-called Zurich gutter or Finnish gutter.

The shape of the overflow edge 20 can also vary.

The top of the overflow channel is covered by the at least one cover 6. The cover 6 prevents, among other things, that a person climbs into the overflow channel 3 or the overflow channel 3 becomes blocked. So that in particular an upper side of the cover can be aligned with an upper side of the walls 4, 5, it has the first wall 4 and / or the second wall 5 on the inside of the overflow channel 3, that is to say on that side of the wall 4, 5 that of the opposite wall 4,5 facing, has at least one shoulder 7 for supporting the at least one cover 6. The paragraph 7 is preferably a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the overflow channel 3 on an upper inner edge of the corresponding wall 4, 5. The longitudinal extent of the overflow channel 3 is orthogonal to the cross section of the overflow channel 3. The shoulder 7 has in particular a substantially horizontal first surface 21 and a substantially vertical second surface 22 adjoining the first surface 21. The first surface 21 and second surface 22 likewise preferably run straight, and in particular also continuously, in the longitudinal extent of the overflow channel 3. Furthermore, the first surface 21 and the second can in particular

Surface 22 are substantially normal to each other.

The fact that the cover 6 is designed as a perforation-free plate means that the cover 6 is plate-shaped and, in contrast to a grate, is free of perforations, so that the liquid in the basin 2 cannot penetrate the cover 6 itself. Instead, the liquid can be formed by a plurality of gaps 9, which are formed between the wall 4, 5 at the shoulder 7 and the cover 6

become.

The columns 9 are formed by the cover 6 by several, in

a longitudinal extension of the overflow channel 3 spaced apart

Support body 8 is spaced from the paragraph 7. Along the longitudinal extent of the overflow channel 3, areas in which the support bodies 8 are arranged between the cover 6 and the shoulder 7 therefore alternate with areas where no support body 8 is arranged, as a result of which a gap 9 is formed. In a preferred embodiment, FIG. 3 shows in supervision that the support bodies 8 are arranged at certain intervals. The section through the overflow channel system 1 in the area with the support body 8 is shown by way of example in FIG. 1. Fig. 2 shows an example of the section through those areas where the support body 8 are not present, and therefore a gap 9 is formed between the cover 6 and the paragraph 7. In the areas without support body 8, the liquid can flow freely into the overflow channel 3. It is noted that FIGS. 1 to 4 are highly simplified schematic representations, in which for the purpose of better clarifying the

Invention the relations are shown distorted.

Furthermore, a pool 2, in particular a swimming pool, comprising the overflow channel system 1 is provided. In particular, the overflow channel system 1

be arranged all around the edge of the basin 2.

The first wall 4 and / or the second wall 5 can preferably have a width

from 4 cm to 8 cm.

The first wall 4 and / or the second wall 5 can preferably have one inside

have a height of 12 cm to 20 cm.

It can preferably be provided that both walls 4, 5 each have a shoulder 7. This has the advantage that the covers 6 on both walls 4, 5

can rest well and the width of the gap can be maintained.

Alternatively, the second wall 5 could only extend up to the height of paragraph 7

extend the first wall.

The covers 6 can in particular have straight long sides. Thereby

they are easy to clean.

Furthermore, the cover 6 can be cuboid.

A length of the covers can be in particular 50 cm to 200 cm.

It can particularly preferably be provided that the covers 6 are designed as stone slabs. Here, slabs made of a mineral material are regarded as stone slabs. The stone slabs can be designed as natural stone or as artificial stone, in particular concrete stone or ceramic. Stone slabs have the advantage of being stable and chemically resistant. Furthermore, this simply allows the same material to be used for the covers 6 as one

Floor covering around the pool 2, making it easier to walk on.

A height of the covers 6 can in particular be between 1 cm and 4 cm, particularly preferably 2 cm to 3 cm. The height of the covers 6 depends in particular on the material of the covers 6 used, a lower height usually being required for artificial stones, as in the case of

Natural stones.

It can preferably be provided that a distance between the support bodies 8 in the longitudinal extension of the overflow channel 3 is at least twice, in particular at least four times, particularly preferably at least ten times, a length of the support bodies 8 in the longitudinal extension of the overflow channel 3. As a result, a sufficiently high proportion of gaps 9 along the longitudinal extent of the overflow channel 3 can be provided for the outflow of the liquid

become.

It can further be provided that the distance between the support bodies 8 in the longitudinal extent of the overflow channel 3 is a maximum of thirty times, in particular twenty times the length of the support bodies 8 in the longitudinal extent of the

Overflow channel 3.

The length of the support body 8 can in particular 2 cm to 20 cm, preferably 4 cm

up to 10 cm.

In particular, it can be provided that the corners of two face to face

abutting covers rest on common support bodies 8.

Furthermore, it can be provided that a width of the support body 8 in

8th

Essentially corresponds to the width of paragraph 7. The width of the paragraph 7 corresponds to the horizontal first surface 21 of the paragraph 7. This allows the support body 8 to end with the inner edge of the paragraph 7, and the

Make full use of the available space.

It can preferably be provided that the width of the support body 8 corresponds to the length

of the support body is in a ratio of 1: 0.5 to 1: 2.

In particular, it can be provided that the support body 8 is held only by being clamped between the cover 6 and the respective wall 4, 5. This means that the support body 8 is not separately fastened to the respective wall 4, 5 or cover 6. As a result, the support bodies 8 can be easily removed and cleaned when cleaning the overflow channel system 1

be, the paragraphs and the covers 6 are easily cleaned.

It can particularly preferably be provided that the support body 8 is L-shaped with a first leg 10 for substantially vertical spacing of the at least one cover 6 from the at least one shoulder 7, and a second leg 11 for substantially horizontal spacing of the at least one cover 6 In addition to the at least one shoulder 7, the first leg 10 has a mounting surface 12 on an underside for mounting on the at least one heel 7, and on an upper side a supporting surface 13 for supporting the at least one cover 6. In operation, the first leg 10 with the installation surface 12 rests on the first surface 21 of the shoulder 7, while the second leg 11 rests on the second surface 22 of the shoulder. The cover 6 can then rest on the support surface 13 of the first leg 10. As a result, both horizontal and vertical spacing of the

Cover 6 of paragraph 7 can be ensured.

In particular, the first leg 10 can be substantially normal to the second leg 11.

Provision can preferably be made for a spacing of the installation surface 12 from that

Contact surface 13 can be reduced without tools. Reducible without tools means

in this case that the support body 8 is designed in such a way that a user can reduce the distance between the installation surface 12 and the support surface 13 without the aid of a tool. This has the advantage that a design of the support body 8 is sufficient to be able to be used for different covers 6 with different heights. This is important because the required height, i.e. thickness, of the cover 6 often depends on the mechanical

Properties of the material of the cover 6 depends.

It can particularly preferably be provided that at least one layer 14 which can be released without tools is arranged on the underside of the first leg 10 in order to reduce the distance between the installation surface 12 and the support surface 13. By removing the at least one layer 14, the distance between the installation surface 12 and the support surface 13 can be simple, permanent and reliable

take place, the support body 8 is very simple.

Furthermore, a support body 8 is provided for spacing the at least one cover 6 of the overflow channel system 1, which is designed as a plate, from the shoulder 7 of the wall 4, 5 of the overflow channel 3, the support body 8 being L-shaped with the first leg 10 for essentially vertical spacing the at least one cover 6 to the shoulder 7, and the second leg 11 for substantially horizontal spacing of the at least one cover 6 to the shoulder 7, the first leg 10 on the underside of the installation surface 12 for installation on the shoulder 7, and has a support surface 13 on an upper side for supporting the at least one cover, and at least one layer 14 that can be released without tools is arranged on the underside of the first leg 10 to reduce a distance between the installation surface 12 and the support surface 13. A preferred embodiment of such a

trained support body 8 is shown in Fig. 2.

This has the advantage that an advantageous overflow channel system 1 can be produced particularly easily and quickly with these support bodies 8. The L-shape of the support body 8 ensures both a sufficient horizontal spacing and a sufficient vertical spacing of the covers 6 from the shoulder 7 of the respective wall 4, 5. By

the shape of the spacer 8 can also conventional overflow channel systems

10th

can easily be retrofitted with a grate on overflow channel systems 1 with perforation-free plates as covers 6. Due to the tool-free releasable layers 14 on the installation surface 12, the distance between the installation surface 12 and the support surface 13 can be reduced particularly quickly and easily, but also permanently, by appropriately removing the layer 14. As a result, one type of support body 8 for various covers 6 made of different materials and corresponding thickness is sufficient to cover the top of the

Keep covers 6 aligned with the top of the walls 4.5.

In particular, several layers 14, which can also be detached from one another without tools, can be provided. This allows the distance of the installation surface 12 to the

Set the support surface 13 in several stages.

It can preferably be provided that the support body 8 has two to five layers 14. For example, in the preferred embodiment in FIG. 4 there are two

Layers 14 present.

As an alternative to the embodiment with the releasable layers 14, the

Support body 8 have a screwable adjusting device.

It can particularly preferably be provided that the at least one layer 14 is connected to a base body 16 of the support body 8 via a predetermined breaking point 15. The basic body 16 describes the body of the support body 8, apart from the layers 14. This has the advantage that the support body 8 is particularly simple and the layers 14 are removed by deliberately separating them at the predetermined breaking points 15

can be.

It can particularly preferably be provided that a plurality of layers 14 with each other and with a base body 16 of the predetermined breaking points 15

Support body 8 are connected.

As an alternative to the predetermined breaking points 15, the layers 14 could also be formed by a

releasable adhesive connection to be connected.

In a preferred manner it can be provided that the predetermined breaking point 15 by a

11

plan incision 17 is formed. The incision 17 can in particular extend over at least 80%, preferably at least 90%, of a base area of the support body 8. The remaining area then forms the respective one

Predetermined breaking point 15.

The predetermined breaking point 15 can be in particular on one, the second leg 12

facing side of the support body 8 may be arranged.

In particular, it can be provided that a thickness of the at least one layer 14 is 3 mm to 7 mm, in particular essentially 5 mm. The thickness of the layers 14 specifies the possible steps for reducing the distance between the installation surface 12 and the support surface 13. It has been shown here that the above-mentioned thickness range is an optimum between adjustable

Thickness options and a low number of layers 14 allows.

It can preferably be provided that the width of the second leg 11 is 6 mm to 10 mm, in particular essentially 8 mm. As a result, a width of the columns 9 is also set to the width mentioned above. It has been shown that with a width of the gaps 9 in the area mentioned above, the overflow channel system 1 can be walked on barefoot, but still

Liquid can drain away reliably.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the second leg 11 is chamfered on the top. This causes the liquid to flow from the top of the support body

8 better, resulting in less deposits.

The support body 8 can in particular be made of a chlorine-resistant material. A material which is considered to be resistant to chlorine water is one which has a service life of at least two

Years in a swimming pool with common chlorine water.

The support body 8 can preferably be made of a UV-resistant material

have good chemical resistance, are elastic and easy to work with. As a result, the at least one layer 14 can be easily attached to the

Loosen predetermined breaking point 15.

Alternatively, the support body 8 can be formed from a mineral material or from a metallic material which itself is chemically resistant

or has a chemically resistant coating.
