Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de rideau semi-rigide et flottant destiné à couvrir une piscine.The present invention relates to a device of semi-rigid and floating curtain intended to cover a swimming pool.

On connaít déjà de tels dispositifs de couverture de piscine dont la principale fonction est d'éviter la noyade d'une personne tombant accidentellement dans le bassin.We already know such devices pool cover whose main function is to avoid drowning someone who accidentally falls in the basin.

Ils sont généralement constitués de lames de matière plastique assemblées deux à deux par l'intermédiaire d'une ou plusieurs charnières, ce système d'articulation permettant l'enroulement et le stockage du rideau sur un tambour.They generally consist of blades of plastic material assembled two by two via one or more hinges, this articulation system allowing the curtain to be rolled up and stored on a drum.

Ces dispositifs de rideau présentent un inconvénient majeur, celui de favoriser la prolifération des bactéries, ennemis constants des piscines, du fait que les charnières reliant les lames comportent des cavités où l'eau stagne, ce qui permet aux bactéries de s'y développer, particulièrement lorsque le rideau est enroulé.These curtain devices have a major drawback, that of promoting the proliferation of bacteria, constant enemies of swimming pools, because hinges connecting the blades have cavities where water stagnates, which allows bacteria to grow there, especially when the curtain is rolled up.

D'autre part, lorsque la piscine reste couverte pendant une longue période, par exemple l'hiver, les feuilles et autres végétaux qui tombent sur le rideau se décomposent et sont entraínés par les eaux de pluie entre les lames dudit rideau, et se répandent dans l'eau de la piscine en la souillant.On the other hand, when the pool remains covered for a long time, for example in winter, leaves and other plants falling on the curtain decompose and are entrained by rainwater between the blades of said curtain, and spread in the water of the pool by defiling it.

Le document EP-A-0 595 725 décrit un panneau souple enroulable de fermeture, notamment pour recouvrir une piscine extérieure, qui est constitué d'au moins une plaque translucide comportant une paroi extérieure continue et une paroi intérieure discontinue, parallèles et séparées par des groupes d'alvéoles délimitées par des parois parallèles perpendiculaires aux parois extérieure et intérieure, lesdits groupes d'alvéoles étant séparés par un espace longitudinal résultant d'une interruption de la paroi intérieure et présentant la largeur d'au moins une alvéole.EP-A-0 595 725 describes a panel flexible winding closure, in particular for covering a outdoor pool, which consists of at least one plate translucent with a continuous outer wall and a discontinuous interior wall, parallel and separated by groups of cells delimited by parallel walls perpendicular to the exterior and interior walls, said groups of cells being separated by a space longitudinal resulting from a wall interruption interior and having the width of at least one cell.

Ce type de couverture de piscine, destinée au maintien de la température de l'eau en période froide, s'il permet également d'éviter que des feuilles ou autres débris végétaux puissent souiller l'eau de la piscine, ne permet pas de réduire les risques de développement des bactéries, en raison des espaces assez larges qui séparent les groupes d'alvéoles et qui peuvent retenir des quantités d'eau non négligeables lors de l'enroulement du panneau sur un tambour de stockage.This type of pool cover, intended for maintaining the water temperature in cold weather, if also helps prevent leaves or other debris plants can soil the pool water, does not allow not reduce the risk of bacteria development, because of the fairly large spaces that separate the groups of alveoli and which can retain quantities of water not negligible when winding the panel on a drum storage.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de rideau semi-rigide et flottant qui permet de réduire considérablement les risques de développement de bactéries.The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages by proposing a semi-rigid curtain device and floating which can significantly reduce the risks of bacteria development.

Le dispositif de rideau selon l'invention comporte des panneaux solidarisés entre eux de façon souple et étanche, réalisés chacun d'une seule pièce par un procédé d'extrusion et comprenant des profilés creux et étanches en matière plastique rigide, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce que lesdits panneaux sont solidarisés entre eux bord à bord, en ce que les profilés creux sont reliés longitudinalement deux à deux et de façon étanche par une bande de faible largeur réalisée en matière plastique souple et en ce que chacun des profilés présente une section transversale sensiblement en forme de segment d'anneau.The curtain device according to the invention has flexible panels and waterproof, each made in one piece by a process extrusion and comprising hollow and waterproof profiles in rigid plastic, and it is characterized essentially in that said panels are secured between them edge to edge, in that the hollow profiles are longitudinally connected two by two and tightly by a narrow band made of plastic flexible and in that each of the profiles has a cross section transverse substantially in the form of a ring segment.

Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif selon l'invention, le bord extérieur d'un des deux profilés extrêmes d'un panneau comporte longitudinalement un élément d'accrochage femelle, et le bord extérieur de l'autre profilé extrême dudit panneau comporte longitudinalement un élément d'accrochage mâle, l'assemblage de deux profilés contigus étant réalisé par introduction de l'élément mâle d'un panneau dans l'élément femelle d'un autre panneau.According to another characteristic of the device according to the invention, the outer edge of one of the two profiles extremes of a panel has an element longitudinally female snap, and the outer edge of the other extreme profile of said panel has longitudinally a male coupling element, the assembly of two profiles contiguous being achieved by introduction of the male element of a panel in the female element of another panel.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, le rideau comporte périphériquement, sur ses deux bords latéraux et sur son bord extrême libre, un rebord continu saillant vers le haut.According to an additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the curtain comprises peripherally, on its two lateral edges and on its extreme free edge, a continuous edge projecting upwards.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, l'un au moins des profilés d'un panneau comporte inférieurement une gorge longitudinale apte à s'engrener sur les crans longitudinaux en saillie d'un tambour d'entraínement servant à l'enroulement et au déroulement du rideau, ledit tambour d'entraínement ayant un diamètre inférieur au diamètre définissant la courbure de la face inférieure d'un profilé longitudinal.According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, at least one of the profiles of a panel has a longitudinal groove below able to mesh with the protruding longitudinal notches a drive drum for winding and unwinding of the curtain, said drive drum having a diameter smaller than the diameter defining the curvature of the underside of a longitudinal profile.

Un dispositif de rideau selon l'invention est ainsi articulé transversalement de manière à permettre son enroulement sur un tambour, et les liaisons entre les différents profilés et panneaux sont étanches.A curtain device according to the invention is thus articulated transversely so as to allow its winding on a drum, and the connections between different profiles and panels are waterproof.

Les liaisons entre les différents panneaux ne comportent d'autre part pas de cavités permettant à l'eau de stagner lorsque le rideau est enroulé, évitant ainsi le développement des bactéries et moisissures.The connections between the different panels do on the other hand have no cavities allowing the water to stagnate when the curtain is rolled up, thus avoiding development of bacteria and mold.

De plus, la forme des profilés en segment d'anneau, associée avec un diamètre adapté du tambour d'entraínement, a pour effet d'appliquer fortement l'une contre l'autre, lors de l'enroulement, les parois de deux profilés contigus, chassant ainsi l'eau résiduelle, en sorte que le rideau peut être stocké pratiquement sec. In addition, the shape of the segment profiles ring, associated with a suitable diameter of the drum has the effect of strongly applying one against each other, when winding, the walls of two contiguous profiles, thus removing residual water, so that the curtain can be stored practically dry.

D'autre part, l'eau de pluie ne peut traverser le rideau et entraíner avec elle les végétaux en décomposition, cette eau, canalisée par le rebord périphérique, ruissellant vers le bord d'enroulement jusqu'à un joint transversal qui la dirige vers une rigole d'évacuation.On the other hand, rainwater cannot pass through the curtain and drag the plants with it decomposition, this water, channeled by the rim peripheral, trickling towards the winding edge up to a transverse joint which directs it towards a channel evacuation.

Enfin, d'un point de vue avantageux, en cas de chute accidentelle d'une personne sur le rideau, celui-ci ne coule pas, d'une part en raison d'une flottabilité accrue, les liaisons souples entre les profilés étant bien moins larges que les charnières classiques, et d'autre part en raison de l'étanchéité de ces liaisons souples, ce qui n'est pas le cas des dispositifs existants où l'eau peut s'infiltrer.Finally, from an advantageous point of view, in the event of accidental fall of a person on the curtain, it does not not flow, on the one hand due to increased buoyancy, the flexible connections between the profiles being much less wider than conventional hinges, and on the other hand because of the tightness of these flexible connections, which is not not the case of existing devices where water can infiltrate.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and features of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'une section transversale d'un dispositif de rideau selon l'invention.
  • la figure 2 représente une vue partielle en coupe transversale du même dispositif.
  • la figure 3 représente une vue partielle en coupe transversale du même dispositif, au niveau de la liaison entre deux panneaux.
  • la figure 4 représente une vue partielle en coupe transversale du même dispositif sur un rouleau d'entraínement.
In the attached drawing:
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a cross section of a curtain device according to the invention.
  • 2 shows a partial view in cross section of the same device.
  • 3 shows a partial view in cross section of the same device, at the connection between two panels.
  • Figure 4 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the same device on a drive roller.

Si on se réfère aux figures 1 et 2 on peut voir qu'un panneau 1, permettant avec d'autres de constituer un rideau selon l'invention, comprend des profilés 10, 11, 12 et 13 reliés longitudinalement deux à deux par une attache 14, les profilés 10, 11, 12 et 13 étant en matière plastique rigide et les attaches 14 étant constituées d'une bande de faible épaisseur en matière plastique souple, l'ensemble pouvant être réalisé en une seule opération par extrusion. If we refer to Figures 1 and 2 we can see a panel 1, allowing with others to constitute a curtain according to the invention, includes profiles 10, 11, 12 and 13 connected longitudinally two by two by a fastener 14, the sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 being made of plastic rigid and the fasteners 14 being made up of a strip of thin plastic material, the whole can be made in a single operation by extrusion.

Si on se réfère également à la figure 3, on peut voir que le profilé extrême 10 du panneau 1 comporte longitudinalement une empreinte femelle 2, et que l'autre profilé extrême 13 comporte longitudinalement une empreinte mâle 3.If we also refer to Figure 3, we can see that the end profile 10 of the panel 1 has longitudinally a female imprint 2, and that the other end profile 13 has a footprint longitudinally male 3.

L'empreinte femelle 2 est une gorge 20 longitudinale, de section transversale sensiblement triangulaire, pratiquée dans la paroi rigide du profilé extrême 10, immédiatement sous le plan supérieur du rideau.The female imprint 2 is a groove 20 longitudinal, of substantially cross section triangular, made in the rigid wall of the profile extreme 10, immediately below the upper plane of the curtain.

L'empreinte mâle 3, réalisée dans une matière plastique souple de même nature que celle des attaches 14, est un renflement longitudinal 30 de section triangulaire solidarisé à l'extrémité d'une attache 31 elle-même solidarisée à la partie supérieure du côté latéral du profilé 13, le renflement 30 étant de dimensions extérieures légèrement supérieures aux dimensions internes de la gorge 20.The male imprint 3, made of a material flexible plastic of the same nature as that of the fasteners 14, is a longitudinal bulge 30 of triangular section secured to the end of a clip 31 itself secured to the upper part of the lateral side of the profile 13, the bulge 30 being of external dimensions slightly larger than the internal dimensions of the throat 20.

Le renflement 30 comporte longitudinalement des lèvres 32 qui s'écrasent lors de l'introduction en force dans la gorge 20, et qui reprennent leur position initiale dans la gorge 20, empêchant toute infiltration d'eau.The bulge 30 has longitudinally lips 32 which are crushed during the force introduction in groove 20, and which return to their initial position in the groove 20, preventing any infiltration of water.

Les profilés 10, 11, 12 et 13 sont creux, et fermés à leurs extrémités par des bouchons, non représentés, réalisés de préférence en matière plastique souple. Ces bouchons peuvent avantageusement être solidarisés les uns aux autres et comporter une partie saillant vers le haut de manière à former latéralement au rideau un rebord périphérique, la continuité de ce rebord périphérique du côté transversal libre pouvant être assurée par un élément approprié, non représenté, introduit par exemple dans la gorge 20 du profilé extrême 10 du panneau 1 extrême du rideau.Profiles 10, 11, 12 and 13 are hollow, and closed at their ends by plugs, not shown, preferably made of flexible plastic. These caps can advantageously be joined together to others and have an upward protruding part so as to form a rim laterally on the curtain peripheral, the continuity of this peripheral rim of the free transverse side can be provided by an element suitable, not shown, introduced for example in the groove 20 of end profile 10 of panel 1 end of curtain.

Chacun des profilés 10, 11, 12 et 13 a une section transversale sensiblement en segment d'anneau, leur bord inférieur 15 et leur bord supérieur 16 étant des arcs de cercles concentriques, et les bords latéraux 17 et 18 n'étant pas parallèles mais disposés selon un secteur angulaire, de manière à permettre l'enroulement du rideau sur un tambour de stockage.Each of the sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 has a cross section substantially in ring segment, their lower edge 15 and their upper edge 16 being arcs of concentric circles, and the lateral edges 17 and 18 not being parallel but arranged in a sector angular, so as to allow the curtain to be rolled up on a storage drum.

Le bord inférieur 15 comporte centralement une gorge longitudinale 19 destinée à permettre l'engrènement des panneaux 1 sur les crans 40 d'un rouleau d'entraínement 4, comme cela est visible sur la figure 4.The lower edge 15 has centrally a longitudinal groove 19 intended to allow engagement panels 1 on the notches 40 of a drive roller 4, as can be seen in FIG. 4.

Le rouleau d'entraínement 4 est de préférence d'un diamètre inférieur au diamètre définissant le rayon de courbure du bord inférieur 15 d'un profilé, en sorte que lors du passage sur le rouleau d'entraínement 4, les parois latérales 17 et 18 de deux profilés contigus se rapprochent progressivement l'une de l'autre jusqu'à être plaquées fortement l'une contre l'autre, chassant ainsi vers le rouleau 4 les gouttes d'eau qui auraient pu y rester, le rouleau 4 étant d'autre part ajouré afin de permettre l'évacuation de cette eau.The drive roller 4 is preferably of a diameter less than the diameter defining the radius of curvature of the lower edge 15 of a profile, so that when passing over the drive roller 4, the walls side 17 and 18 of two contiguous profiles come closer gradually from each other until they are tackled strongly against each other, thus driving towards the roller 4 the drops of water that could have remained there, roller 4 being on the other hand perforated in order to allow the evacuation of this water.
