Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a device for covering spaces or surfaces such as for example a swimming pool.
- Temporary structures such as tarpaulins, are generally light and easily retractable. However, although they constitute effective shelters for the swimming pool, the installation of such structures renders the water body unusable.
- Permanent shelter structures are generally heavier. Such devices include a supporting structure resting on areas surrounding the space to be covered and supporting a cover constituting a shelter, the ceiling part of which is distant by a certain height from the water level, thus allowing the use under shelter of the swimming pool.
- Such structures are not easily retractable and must be put in place or removed by professionals.
- Such a shelter revealed in particular by French patent n ° 1 344 413 comprises a number of sliding panels arranged at a certain distance above the level of the space to be covered, the sides of the panels being shaped to allow their guided movement. on parallel beams or arches arranged transversely to the pool.
- the pool can never be completely uncovered and the beams remain constantly in place, which considerably harms the aesthetic appearance.
- the main object of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned problems by providing a device which can be adapted without any preliminary transformation to any type of swimming pool, and which makes it possible to cover and discover the water very quickly in order to be able to use it. over the entire surface and with a height above the comfortable water level even when the pool is covered.
- the solution proposed by the present invention consists of a device for covering spaces or surfaces such as for example a swimming pool, of the type comprising a set of modular elements successively interlocking telescopically and movable, in a guided manner over surrounding areas.
- said space to be covered on which said elements bear between a retracted storage position in which they release said space to be covered and an extended position for covering said space, the support structure supporting a cover distant by a certain height from any point of the upper level of said space to be covered, characterized in that the means for guiding said modular elements are produced and associated with each element so as not to be present on said zones surrounding the space to be covered when the device is in its retracted position .
- such a device is directly adaptable to any type of already existing swimming pool and does not require any preliminary transformation of the surrounding space such as setting up a support structure, clearing the surroundings, etc.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cover device according to the present invention, in the developed or extended position, covering the pool over its entire surface;
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the covering device according to the invention, showing in dotted line said device in the developed or extended position and in the retracted position for fitting the modular elements successively into one another;
- the covering device 1 comprises a set of modular elements 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 successively interlocking telescopically one inside the other.
- the modular elements are of different sizes.
- the largest element 6 therefore makes it possible to store and shelter all the other elements 2, 3, 4, 5 so as to release said space to be covered in the retracted position of the elements.
- the storage will be carried out at one end of the pool, if possible outside the water.
- modules having the same dimension in the nesting direction. The number and dimensions of the modules can be variable and only depend on the dimensions of the space to be covered.
- One of the extreme modules will be kept fixed, that is to say integral with a fixed structure relatively to the ground, of any kind, the other elements will therefore be mobile so as to be movable between a retracted nesting position for storage (FIG. 2 ) and an extended cover position ( Figure 1).
- the fixed element can be either the smallest element or the largest.
- Each module comprises a light support structure supporting a cover made of a translucent material, such as for example polycarbonate, produced in a single piece or elementary panels of suitable shape.
- the various elements forming the support structure are made of a material that is both light and mechanically resistant, such as for example an aluminum alloy, by known molding methods.
- This supporting structure comprises at least two transverse elements 7, 8 having substantially the shape of longitudinally spaced arches and secured at their base by horizontal members forming longitudinal members 9.
- These transverse elements can be of any shape, preferably symmetrical.
- the transverse elements form a pentagon, and the resulting modular element has in cross section the shape of a half octagon, that is to say that it has two vertical planes, two inclined planes born and an upper horizontal plane.
- the transverse elements 7, 8 are adapted to allow the fixing of the cover 15.
- one of the most distant transverse elements 7 in the cover position is formed by a profile having a U-shaped cross section, advantageously with unequal branches to obtain better fixing of cover 15.
- the transverse element 8 is formed by a profile having a cross section substantially in the shape of a rectangle, and the two transverse faces of which, relative to the axis of the module, respectively internal 10, and external 11 extend beyond the rectangle formed, at 12 and 13, while the external face parallel to the axis 14 extends internally beyond the internal transverse face 10 by a flange 16 allowing the cover 15 to be fixed.
- a protruding part made of material 17 extends parallel to the projecting part 12 and forms therewith a groove allowing the fixing of a sealing means which will be described later.
- the spar 9 connecting the transverse elements 7 and 8 is formed by a profile having a specific shape allowing to perform a certain number of functions. Indeed, this spar is adapted to allow the module to take support and to move on the ground 20, to support the covering element 15, and in a preferred embodiment, to allow the guidance of two modules cooperating during their mutual displacement.
- the spar 9 is formed by a profile having in cross section a generally rectangular shape whose largest sides correspond to the vertical faces.
- the profile of the longitudinal member 9 respectively has a slot and horizontal projecting elements 24, 25 allowing the fixing of a support device 27 of a wheel 28.
- This wheel will housed inside this profile and will partially extend through the aforementioned slot.
- the internal vertical wall relative to the module 22 of the profile of the longitudinal member 9 has a closed groove 30 for longitudinally horizontal guide, the interior 31 of which is shaped to establish a raceway for a roller 32 mounted rotatably at one end of an axis 33 integral by its other end of the adjacent module.
- the spar 9 of the element 4 has a guide groove 30 of the roller 32 associated with the module 5.
- the groove 30 has a reinforcing rib 35 connecting it to the vertical face 36 opposite the vertical face 22.
- This reinforcing rib 35 is located near the upper horizontal wall 37 of the longitudinal member 9 and serves as a bearing surface for the cover 15 which will extend towards the inside of the profile through an axial longitudinal opening 40 provided in the surface. upper 37 of the profile.
- the axis 33 for supporting the roller 32 is advantageously fixed in an attached support 41 and fixed on the external surface of the wall perpendicular to the axis of movement of the module to which the spar 9 is also fixed.
- the profile of the spar has at its ends fixing means which can be produced in the form of ribs 43, 44 projecting towards the inside of the profile, and respectively of the vertical wall 36 and of the groove 30.
- the lower horizontal wall 23 of the spar 9 further comprises a longitudinal groove 46 located near its outer edge and extending over the entire length.
- This groove 46 is shaped to allow the fixing of a sealing element 47, part of which engages at one end in the groove 46 and which extends to the level of the ground 20, thus establishing a barrier, ensuring the protection of the interior of the covering device from the outside when this device occupies its covering position.
- the transverse element 8 supports in the groove 26 extending over its entire length, a second sealing element 50 which, as shown in FIG. 4, constitutes a sealing barrier for the intercalary space 51 existing between two adjacent modules, in particular in the extended position and in particular between the exterior covering surface of a module and the corresponding interior surface facing the adjacent exterior telescopic element.
- This sealing element can be produced in the form of a broom or a brush, the rigidity of which is adapted to its sealing or barrier function but can of course be made of any other material.
- the guide means are formed by the groove 30 of a modular element and the roller 32 of the adjacent modular element so that the ground or the area surrounding the space is not congested by specific guide means incorporated therein.
- these rails Present for this purpose a relatively wide base to avoid displacement of the different rails. This base may have means allowing the removable securing of the rails, thereby increasing the stability on the ground of these guide means.
- the rails 55 have on their base a profile, one end of which has a groove or mortise 57 and the opposite end of a latch 58. The rails being joined one next to the other, they can be hooked together by their mortise 57 and latch 58.
- transverse lower edges of the driving transverse elements can be equipped with brushes similar to the sealing elements described above and whose function is to allow the floor movement areas of the wheels to move. .
- the present device is therefore a light and simple structure because the profiles are hollow and made of a light material.
- This light construction makes it possible to cover large spaces without requiring any particular adaptation to the ground such as infrastructure works.
- the lightness also avoids any limitation in height of the device.
- the aforementioned sealing means provide protection of the interior space covered by the device with respect to the exterior. This effect, combined with the greenhouse effect provided, by the translucent cover-forming material, makes it possible to capture and conserve heat. This makes it possible even in mid-season, with a moderate investment swimming.
