Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of the elements of barrier type protection.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous application for the protection of swimming pools, to deter children in particular, to have access to the basin.
  • this example should not be considered limiting, the barrier may be used in all cases where you wish to prohibit access to a child especially at a young age.
  • barriers To prevent this type of accident, it has been proposed to belt the pool basin by barriers.
  • the barriers proposed to this day given their design is not completely satisfactory.
  • these barriers must be of a height and design determined so that it cannot be crossed by the child.
  • the spacing of the bars must also correspond to dimensions very precise preset.
  • the barriers must be fixed to the ground and offer enough resistance so as not to be knocked over and not be overwritten in the event that they are subjected to a load horizontal.
  • Patent FR-A-2,038,542 relates to a process for carrying out guardrail or railing by assembling standard elements prefabricated. The type of railing obtained seems difficult to apply to protect access to a swimming pool.
  • the problem which the invention proposes to solve is, on the one hand, to realize a security barrier which meets the above characteristics, especially in terms of resistance and security while having a pleasant visual appearance, so as not to alter the aesthetics of the whole pool basin, and, on the other hand, to realize a barrier from of several identical modules and to assemble these modules, in alignment, either in a 90 ° offset manner.
  • the heald arrangements consist of a attached plate capable of being fixed to the base of each of them, each plate having through openings shaped in section for the engagement and positioning of the bars.
  • each stringer is constituted by a ribbed profile delimiting two parallel lateral grooves for engaging ribs that the cover plates have, said lateral grooves being separated by a central groove constituting a notch acting as a stop for the bars.
  • the bars are formed by a profile of ribbed and semi-circular hollow section, the through openings of the plates being of complementary section.
  • the plate openings are alternately oriented in one direction and in the other along the length of each of them.
  • the ends of the beams are freely engaged in openings of complementary shape that have the side faces corresponding posts, said ends cooperating with the base arrangements.
  • the beams are integral with each of their end, of a tubular connecting element projecting to be engaged in the arm arranged in alignment.
  • the connecting members is located on one side of the beam, while the other connecting member is located on the other side, so that, in plan view, the organs are offset.
  • each post receives, at its upper end, a plug with arrangements for positioning the ends of the rails, in one direction only or in two directions offset by 90 °.
  • each stringer is obtained by an extruded plastic profile.
  • this barrier comprises two beams (1) and (2) arranged in two parallel planes and braced by bars vertical (3).
  • the healds (1) and (2) cooperate at each of their ends with vertical posts (4) and (5).
  • the bottom rail (2) is arranged very substantially at ground level where the entire barrier is fixed. To note that this rail (2) can be in direct contact with the ground.
  • the height of the barrier i.e. the distance between the barrier upper (1) and the ground, is determined to meet standards of safety, in particular not to be stepped on by a child.
  • the distance between the two vertical posts (4) and (5) is determined by security standards function to meet the specifications regulations.
  • all of the constituent elements of the barrier are made of plastic, in particular extruded plastic.
  • this barrier can be executed in other materials.
  • Each of the heddles (1) and (2) are produced by an extruded profile delimiting two parallel vertical wings (1a) and (1b), (2a) and (2b), joined to their upper part by a rounded profile (1c) (2c). At their bottom, these wings (1a) and (1b), (2a) and (2b) are joined by a ribbed profile limiting two parallel lateral grooves (1d), (1e) and (2d), (2e), and a groove central (1f) (2f).
  • the central groove (1f - 2f) constitutes a notch longitudinal cross section in an inverted U shape.
  • the central groove (1f, 2f) is connected to the rounded profile (1c and 2c), by a central rib of rigidity (1g - 2g).
  • the different vertical bars (3) consist of a profile of ribbed and semi-circular hollow section. More specifically, each bar has a flat face (3a) connected by a rounded face (3b). Each of the bars thus defined is engaged in openings through-holes (6a) and (7a) of complementary section, formed at intervals regular in plates (6) and (7) made integral with each of the heddles (1 and 2).
  • the plates (6) and (7) are shaped to be fixed at the level of the ribbed face of each of the beams (1) and (2).
  • Plates (6) and (7) have lateral ribs (6b) (6c) and (7b) (7c) cooperating with the lateral grooves (1d) (1e) and (2d) (2e) of the corresponding beams (1) and (2) to secure the plates (6) and (7) by a clipping effect.
  • the openings (6a) and (7a) of the plates (6) and (7) open into the central notch (1f) (2f) of the beams (1) and (2).
  • openings (6a) and (7a) are alternately oriented in one direction and in the other along the length of each of the plates (6) and (7), so that after engagement, as indicated, of the bars (1) in the corresponding openings, the latter successively present and alternately a flat face (3a) and a rounded face (3b).
  • the ends of the rails (1) and (2) are engaged in openings of complementary shape (4a) and (5a) which have the lateral faces of the corresponding posts (4) and (5).
  • the posts (4) and (5) are of section square, and each equipped with an upper plug (8) and a base lower (9).
  • the lower base (9) has a support and fixing to the ground (9a).
  • the plugs (8) and the legs (9) have arrangements for positioning and supporting the heald ends (1) and (2) in one direction or in two directions offset by 90 °. More particularly, the upper plug (8) and the base (9) each have a form of nesting (8a) and (9b) able to be engaged in the hollow internal section of each of the uprights (4) and (5).
  • Each of the nesting forms (8a) and (9b) has two support openings or cradles (8a1) - (8a2) and (9b1) - (9b2) offset angularly 90 °. More specifically, the cradles (8a1) and (9b1) are through at each of their ends for mounting in alignment of two beams (figure 5).
  • the other cradles (8a2) (9b2) have only one end emerging, in communication with the first cradle (8a1) (9b1). It is thus possible to arrange the upper and lower beams (1) and (2) of two basic modules, in two different directions offset by 90 ° (figure 6).
  • the top (1) and bottom (2) rails are integral, each of their ends, of a projecting connecting tubular member (10 and 11) capable of ensuring perfect continuity by increasing the rigidity at level of the intermediate connection post or posts where the junction takes place said beams.
  • These tubular connecting members are constituted by quarter rounds fixed in an overhanging manner at each end of the smooth upper and lower.
  • each of the quarter circles (10) and (11) is fixed and positioned in the bottom of the rounded profile (1c) of the smooth (1 and 2), pressing against the central stiffening rib (1g - 2g).
  • the connecting members (10 and 11), seen in plan are offset.
  • the member (10) which projects from one of the ends of the heald considered, is fixed on one side of the central rib of rigidity, while the other member of link (11), which projects from the other end of the beam considered, is fixed on the other side of the central stiffness rib. It follows that after assembly in juxtaposition, the connecting members (10 and 11) of the two adjacent rails are located next to each other. Strictly speaking, one of the organs (10) for example, protrudes a length very slightly superior to the other connecting member (11) to facilitate the nesting of smooth into each other.
  • the different posts, bars and beams are advantageously obtained by an extruded plastic profile.
