Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of covering a pelvis of the pool type with a projection such as a staircase or similar, at least on one of its borders main longitudinal by means of a bar cover transverse.
  • the invention relates to a cover for placing implementing this process and comprising a main covering provided with transverse bars provided able to extend transversely above the basin while coming to rest at level of their ends on the longitudinal edges principal of the latter.
  • the present invention relates, more particularly, to the field of means for covering basins, such as swimming pools, in particular made from a sheet of material flexible.
  • covering devices still so-called winter covers, which can come in shape of an opaque net or blanket that we just stretch using peripheral bungee cords above the pelvis.
  • the bubble blanket which rests usually on the surface of the water and which aims to promote the transfer of calories produced by energy solar, pool water.
  • the covers with bars consisting of a sheet of flexible material, is provided at a distance regular, of support bars extending transversely above of the pelvis resting on the longitudinal edges of this last.
  • these different types of covering devices are often rollable.
  • one of these bars located at one end of the basin is provided with a nozzle under shape of an operating square on which a manual or motorized drive mechanism.
  • this support bar By rotating this support bar, it progresses along the longitudinal edges of the basin from where results in the wrapping of the cover.
  • this winding is carried out as regularly as possible, to prevent the cover from shifting, gradually, relative to the pelvis. Indeed, in such a case and at the very moment of deploying said cover again, it tends to go awry above the pelvis and very quickly the support bars no longer rest, at one of their ends, on the longitudinal edge of said basin so that the cover dips inside the latter.
  • this section side cover sheet also tends to be damaged very quickly so that it is necessary to proceed with replacing it more frequently.
  • the part forming the protrusion further creates a discontinuity at the longitudinal edges of the pelvis. Also, it is necessary to substitute, for the absence of border, a support profile on which are able to rest, at height from their corresponding end, the support bars of the main cover. This also allows progression continuous of these support bars along the longitudinal edges of the basin during winding and unfolding of said blanket.
  • the invention also relates to a cover for placing work of this process
  • a main cover provided provided cross bars capable of extending transversely above the basin while coming to rest, at level of their ends, on the longitudinal edges main of the latter, characterized by the fact that it also comprises a covering device provided with a support bar able to extend, in line with the said main longitudinal border, above the part constituting the projection, with this support bar being an overlapping sheet made of a flexible material the dimensions corresponding to those of said part and comprising, at the peripheral edge, means for placing under tension, of the strap type, Sandow or the like, means being still provided for immobilizing said support bar relative to at the main longitudinal border of the basin on which it rests at its extremities.
  • the advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist in that that the covering of a part forming a protrusion lateral, at the level of a basin such as a swimming pool, is with great ease and, in any case, does not constitute no discomfort during recovery operations and discovery of the main part of this basin. Indeed, the recovery device is independent of the cover main. Consequently, this can be easily rolled up and unrolled, whether it is a bar cover, a solar blanket or a blanket wintering.
  • the present invention seeks to solve a problem of covering pool 1 of the pool type.
  • a basin 1 has a longitudinal 2 and transverse direction 3. It is moreover delimited by main longitudinal edges 4, 5 and transverse edges 6, 7.
  • the present invention is in no way limited to such configuration, knowing, for example, that it concerns, also, ovoid, kidney-shaped or other basins.
  • a main cover 8 in the form of a sheet in flexible material, of the tarpaulin, net or similar type. So a such main cover is deployed above basin 1, in its longitudinal direction 2. Note, in this regard, that it can be provided rollable or foldable accordion.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a particular type of cover and says security, comprising a plurality of cross bars 9 extending equidistantly transversely above to basin 1 while coming to rest, at their ends, on the main longitudinal edges 4, 5 of this last.
  • cover sheet made of a flexible material which we just ensure the power on, on the periphery, using straps, bungee cords or the like.
  • the cover according to the invention comprises, in addition to the main cover 8, a covering device allowing the user to cover, independently, this part 10 of the pelvis 1. This corresponds, to a vision of things which is contrary to what was done, until then, and which consisted in equipping the main cover 8, at its lateral edge 11, with a piece of cover sheet with dimensions adjusted to said part 10 and which has just been extended, above the latter using bungee cords.
  • the covering device according to the invention is distinguished by a support bar 12 capable of extending in the extension of the main longitudinal border 4, above of said part 10 constituting the lateral projection at the level of the pelvis 1. Furthermore, at this support bar 12 is made integral, by appropriate means 13, a sheet of covering in flexible material 14 whose dimensions correspond to those of part 10 to be covered.
  • means 17 are provided for immobilizing said support bar 12 relative to the longitudinal edge main 4 on which it rests at the level of its ends 18, 19.
  • the covering device brings together all the characteristics to meet the security criteria required by bar cover material.
  • FIG. 3 An embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 3 simplified means 17 for immobilizing the support bar 12 on the main longitudinal border 4 of the pelvis 1.
  • Such immobilization means 17 are, in fact, in the form of pegs 20 passing through apertures 21 machined in the ends 18, 19 of said support bar 12 and inserted into holes 22 drilled in said longitudinal border main 4, for example in the coping such as illustrated in figure 3.
  • said bar support 12 is immobilized on the main longitudinal edge 4 of basin 1 by making it integral with the main cover 8 thanks to retractable connecting means which can be consider different modes of execution, for example in the form straps, bungee cords, snaps, hooks or the like.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a more particular embodiment as part of a bar cover 8. So some of the transverse bars 9 of the latter rest, at the height of their end 23, on the support bar 12. In fact, the bars transverse concerned can be provided, precisely to this end 23 and on their underside 24, a notch 25 in which the support bar 12 is housed so as to secure it on the longitudinal edge main 4 of basin 1, especially when placing under covering sheet tension 14.
  • the energizing means 16 of this cover sheet 14 can, per se, provide the immobility of the support bar 12, in particular when they are properly distributed on the peripheral border 15.
  • cover sheet 14 may be provided with a sheath to accommodate this support bar 12. It is also possible to equip this cover sheet 14 of a rod capable of being inserted into a groove 26 fitted at the level of the profile constituting the support bar 12. Such an embodiment is more particularly visible in Figures 3 and 4. Note, in this regard, that it is advantageous to design this profile constituting a bar support 12, symmetrically with respect to its median plane vertical 27, allowing its reversibility.
  • the section of this profile is determined so that its inertia is sufficient to withstand a given load, for example the weight of a individual.
  • said support bar 12 has, at its ends 18, 19, parts 28, 29 of thickness 30 as reduced as possible.
  • these parts 28, 29 can be in the form end caps 31 fitted at the ends of the profile, especially aluminum, corresponding to the support bar 12.
  • the present invention advantageously solves the problem which, usually, the overlapping of parts forming protuberances, laterally, at the level of pools of the swimming pool type.
  • the covering of such a part no longer constitutes, as in the past, a discomfort for the winding, for example, of a cover with bars coming to cover the main part of this basin 1.
  • the support bar 12 can advantageously constitute means for winding the covering sheet 14. It is therefore no longer necessary, in this case, to fold this sheet overlap 14 on the main cover 8. Which previously represented a real danger for the user.
  • said cover sheet 14 it has been stated above that it conformed to the dimensions of part 10 of the pelvis 1. However, contrary to what has shown in Figure 2, this cover sheet 14 preferably retain a parallelepiped shape, which facilitates the design of the hem on the periphery.
  • said cover sheet 14 being completely independent of the sheet of flexible material defining the cover main 8 it can be made of enough material resistant and thick avoiding to double it at the edge device intended to rest on the edge of the basin, by example, on the copings.
  • a parallelepiped shape in makes design easier.
