Abstract

The present invention relates to a whirlpool cover, which comprises at least two cover ele-ments and a transmission for pivoting said cover elements, said transmission comprising a pivot in the area of an upper edge of the whirlpool for pivoting the cover elements, said cover elements being adapted to be pivoted about said pivot to a position of rest onto an outer sidewall of the whirlpool.

Claims (14)

1. A foldable whirlpool cover (2) comprising at least two cover elements (3, 4 and 5) and a transmission (6) for pivoting the cover elements (3, 4 and 5) to a position of rest (8) onto an outer sidewall of the whirlpool (1), respective neighbouring cover elements being connected to one another by a hinge (7), characterized in that the transmission (6) comprises a pivot (15) in the area of an upper edge (11) of the whirlpool (1), the cover elements being adapted to be pivoted in common about said pivot (15) to the position of rest (8).
2. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 1, characterized in that the transmission (6) is implemented for folding the whirlpool cover (2).
3. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the claims 1 or 2, characterized in that the whirlpool cover (2) is implemented as a cantilever.
4. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 3, characterized in that the whirlpool cover (2) is raised from an original position, which is preferably a horizontal posi-tion, before it is folded.
5. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the whirlpool cover (2) comprises a first, front cover element (3) and a second, rear cover element (4), said second, rear cover element (4) being articulated on said first, front cover element (3) through a hinge (7), and said first, front cover element (3) being articulated on the pivot (15) in the area of the upper edge (11) of the whirlpool (1).
6. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 5, characterized in that the second, rear cover element (4) is folded onto the first, front cover element (3) before the cover elements (3 and 4) are being pivoted, so that the cover elements (3 and 4) form a package (9) of folded cover elements.
7. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 6, characterized in that, in the open con-dition of the whirlpool cover (2), the package (9) of folded cover elements is piv-oted about the pivot (15) by an angle .phi. onto the sidewall of the whirlpool (1), said angle .phi. being in a range of from 2500 to 290°.
8. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the pivot (15) is arranged above and outside of the upper edge (11) of the whirlpool (1).
9. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the transmission comprises a friction clutch so as to initiate the transition be-tween folding and pivoting of the cover elements (3, 4 and 5).
10. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the transmission (6) is accommodated in a column (16) which is arranged centrally in front of the outer sidewall of the whirlpool (1).
11. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 10, characterized in that the transmission (6) comprises a transmission tunnel (17) which extends centrally on and/or below the cover elements (3, 4 and 5), said transmission tunnel (17) coming to lie be-tween the cover elements (3, 4 and 5) when the whirlpool cover (2) is being folded, so that the cover elements (3, 4 and 5) are spaced apart.
12. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the transmission (6) comprises deflection rollers (12), preferably pulleys, and conveyor means (13), such as belts and/or ropes.
13. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the transmission (6) is driven by a motor.
14. A whirlpool cover (2) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the cover elements (3, 4 and 5) are delimited on the side by a glued-on plas-tic strip (18), said plastic strip (18) comprising a rain discharge edge (19) and a support bead (20) and being formed integrally.
