Description

PANNEAUX POUR LA REALISATION DE BASSINS DE PISCINESPANELS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POOL POOLS
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des éléments de construction pour piscines.The invention relates to the technical sector of construction elements for swimming pools.
Il est notoirement connu de réaliser des bassins de piscines au moyen de panneaux modulaires indépendants et assemblés entre eux selon différentes formes pour réaliser le bassin de la piscine en tant que tel. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne des panneaux du type de ceux décrits dans le brevet EP 0382649, dont le demandeur de la présente est également titulaire. Chaque panneau de forme générale rectangulaire présente un cadre périphérique délimitant des ailes verticales d'assemblage avec les panneaux modulaires adjacents. Chaque panneau modulaire a une largeur réduite par rapport à sa hauteur. A titre indicatif, la hauteur de ces panneaux modulaires est quatre fois supérieure à la largeur. Avantageusement, cette hauteur est d'environ 1,20 mètre, tandis que la largeur est d'environ 25 centimètres.It is notoriously known to produce swimming pools by means of independent modular panels and assembled together in different shapes to produce the swimming pool as such. More particularly, the invention relates to panels of the type of those described in patent EP 0382649, of which the applicant for the present is also the holder. Each panel of generally rectangular shape has a peripheral frame delimiting vertical wings for assembly with the adjacent modular panels. Each modular panel has a reduced width compared to its height. As an indication, the height of these modular panels is four times the width. Advantageously, this height is approximately 1.20 meters, while the width is approximately 25 centimeters.
Plus particulièrement, et comme il ressort de la revendication 1 du brevet EP 0382649 précité, le panneau comprend une structure préfabriquée et un élément de renforcement conformé en section pour recevoir sur la totalité de sa hauteur, du béton en communication avec un chaînage, caractérisé en ce que :More particularly, and as is clear from claim 1 of the aforementioned patent EP 0382649, the panel comprises a prefabricated structure and a reinforcing element shaped in section to receive over its entire height, concrete in communication with a chaining, characterized in what:
- la structure et l'élément de renforcement sont deux éléments indépendants qui, après assemblage constituent ledit panneau. - la structure préfabriquée est de forme générale quadrangulaire et présente des ailes verticales recevant deux à deux, des organes de fixation complémentaires, pour l'assemblage en juxtaposition d'une autre structure. - l'élément de renforcement présente une section transversale apte à définir une gouttière verticale, en communication avec un rebord équerré, ladite gouttière et ledit rebord recevant du béton en combinaison avec le chaînage. - la gouttière verticale est formée entre deux ailes d'appui et de fixation et situées dans un même plan, pour assurer la fixation de manière rapportée, de l'élément de renforcement entre les ailes de la structure, la largeur de l'élément, au niveau des ailes et, correspondant très sensiblement entre les ailes . - l'élément de renforcement et la structure sont réalisés en béton armé.- The structure and the reinforcing element are two independent elements which, after assembly constitute said panel. - The prefabricated structure is generally quadrangular and has vertical wings receiving two by two, complementary fastening members, for the assembly in juxtaposition of another structure. - The reinforcing element has a cross section capable of defining a vertical gutter, in communication with a squared edge, said gutter and said edge receiving concrete in combination with the chaining. the vertical gutter is formed between two support and fixing wings and situated in the same plane, to ensure attachment, in a reported manner, of the reinforcing element between the wings of the structure, the width of the element, at the level of the wings and, corresponding very substantially between the wings. - the reinforcing element and the structure are made of reinforced concrete.
L'assemblage des différents panneaux modulaires entre eux peut s'effectuer par différents moyens. Par exemple, les ailes verticales des cadres présentent une pluralité de lumières oblongues pour l'engagement d'organes d'assemblage après juxtaposition des éléments. On conçoit que cette solution est de mise en œuvre relativement longue, étant donné que l'opérateur doit engager chaque organe d'assemblage dans les différentes lumières et procéder au serrage de ces organes d'assemblage.The assembly of the various modular panels together can be carried out by different means. For example, the vertical wings of the frames have a plurality of oblong slots for the engagement of assembly members after juxtaposition of the elements. It is understood that this solution is relatively long to implement, given that the operator must engage each assembly member in the different slots and proceed to tighten these assembly members.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation, les ailes peuvent présenter, deux à deux, des organes de fixation du type tenon mortaise, susceptibles d'être déformés sous une source de chaleur, là encore des moyens extérieurs sont nécessaires.In another embodiment, the wings may have, two by two, fixing members of the mortise tenon type, capable of being deformed under a heat source, again external means are necessary.
Par ailleurs, après assemblage en juxtaposition des différents éléments modulaires, il est nécessaire d'assurer l'étanchéité des éléments entre eux, au niveau de leur jonction, et plus particulièrement au niveau de l'interstice résultant d'une telle juxtaposition. Cette opération d'étanchéité est généralement effectuée par application d'un cordon de soudure, disposés sur la totalité des interstices de séparations. Là encore, ces opérations sont longues et le résultat obtenu n'est pas toujours très satisfaisant.Furthermore, after assembly in juxtaposition of the various modular elements, it is necessary to ensure the sealing of the elements between them, at their junction, and more particularly at the interstice resulting from such juxtaposition. This sealing operation is generally carried out by application of a weld bead, arranged over all of the separation interstices. Again, these operations are long and the result obtained is not always very satisfactory.
Comme indiqué, la face externe de ces éléments modulaires, c'est-à-dire celle située du côté du cadre périphérique d'assemblage, peut avantageusement être équipée d'un élément de renforcement rapporté indépendant faisant office de cheminée. Là encore, de telles dispositions sont parfaitement décrites et illustrées dans le brevet précédemment cité. Pour l'essentiel, ce type d'élément comprend une goulotte verticale terminée à son extrémité libre par un rebord équerré. Après assemblage des panneaux modulaires entre eux, les rebords équerrés sont disposés en alignement et en juxtaposition pour constituer un chaînage supérieur pour le coulage d'un béton, également coulé dans chacune des goulottes verticales, en ' combinaison avec des éléments de ferraillage. La fixation de cette cheminée par rapport au panneaux peut s'effectuer par collage, soudage ou éventuellement au moyen d'organes d'assemblage rapportés.As indicated, the external face of these modular elements, that is to say that situated on the side of the peripheral assembly frame, can advantageously be equipped with an independent added reinforcement element acting as a chimney. Again, such arrangements are fully described and illustrated in the previously cited patent. Essentially, this type of element includes a vertical chute terminated at its free end by a squared edge. After assembling the modular panels together, the squared edges are arranged in alignment and in juxtaposition to constitute an upper chain for the pouring of concrete, also poured into each of the vertical troughs, in ' combination with reinforcing elements. The fixing of this chimney relative to the panels can be carried out by gluing, welding or possibly by means of attached assembly members.
A partir de cet état de la technique, le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de pouvoir assurer l'assemblage des différents éléments modulaires de manière instantanée, sans nécessiter l'emploi d'éléments rapportés quelconques d'assemblage, en ayant pour objectif d'obtenir une étanchéité parfaite après assemblage, là encore, sans nécessiter d'opérations particulières distinctes. Pour résoudre un tel problème, l'une des ailes verticales présente, d'une part, sur la totalité de sa hauteur, des moyens de centrage et d'étanchéité constitués par un profilé débordant de la face externe de l'aile considérée et présentant latéralement une lèvre d'étanchéité, ledit profilé coopérant avec une forme en creux complémentaire que présente l'autre aile, le profilé et la forme en creux présentant une section transversale très sensiblement triangulaire et, d'autre part, des moyens d'assemblage rapide du type encliquetable coopérant avec des moyens complémentaires que présente ladite autre aile.From this state of the art, the problem which the invention proposes to solve is to be able to ensure the assembly of the various modular elements instantaneously, without requiring the use of any added assembly elements, having the objective of obtaining a perfect seal after assembly, here again, without requiring separate specific operations. To solve such a problem, one of the vertical wings has, on the one hand, over its entire height, centering and sealing means constituted by a profile projecting from the external face of the wing considered and having laterally a sealing lip, said profile cooperating with a complementary hollow shape that the other wing has, the profile and the hollow shape having a very substantially triangular cross section and, on the other hand, rapid assembly means of the snap-in type cooperating with complementary means presented by said other wing.
Un autre problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est également de pouvoir assembler les éléments de renforcement faisant office de cheminée par rapport à la structure de base des panneaux en tant que tels, sans nécessiter de moyens quelconques d'assemblage, en ayant pour objectif par conséquent d'obtenir un verrouillage instantané et automatique.Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is also to be able to assemble the reinforcing elements acting as a chimney with respect to the basic structure of the panels as such, without requiring any means of assembly, having for objective therefore to obtain instant and automatic locking.
Pour résoudre un tel problème, la face interne de chaque structure présente des pressions solidaires de la face interne de la structure et présentant une tête et une partie de centrage pour coopérer avec une lumière étranglée que présente un élément de renforcement rapporté indépendant faisant office de cheminée, lesdites pressions et lumières étant réparties sur la totalité de la hauteur de ladite structure.To solve such a problem, the internal face of each structure has pressures integral with the internal face of the structure and having a head and a centering part to cooperate with a constricted light that has an independent added reinforcement element acting as a chimney , said pressures and lights being distributed over the entire height of said structure.
Pour résoudre le problème posé d'assurer un assemblage instantané des différents panneaux entre eux, sans nécessiter l'emploi d'organes rapportés nécessaires à cet assemblage, les moyens d'assemblage sont constitués par des languettes présentant en bout une zone de crochetage, lesdites languettes étant réparties sur la hauteur de l'aile et coopérant avec des ouvertures débouchantes formées dans l'épaisseur de l'autre aile, d'une manière correspondante.To solve the problem posed of ensuring an instantaneous assembly of the different panels together, without requiring the use of attached members necessary for this assembly, the assembly means are constituted by tongues having at the end a hooking zone, said tabs being distributed over the height of the wing and cooperating with through openings formed in the thickness of the other wing, in a corresponding manner.
Avantageusement, la tête a une forme oblongue dont la largeur correspond sensiblement à la largeur de la plus grande partie de la lumière étranglée et en étant orientée perpendiculairement à cette dernière, ladite tête étant solidaire de la partie de centrage sous forme d'un pion généralement de forme parallélépipédique coopérant avec la largeur de la partie étranglée de plus petite dimension de ladite lumière. Le panneau selon l'invention est réalisé en toute matière et matériau, mais d'une manière préférée, en matière plastique en étant obtenu par tout procédé de fabrication connu et approprié.Advantageously, the head has an oblong shape whose width corresponds substantially to the width of most of the constricted lumen and while being oriented perpendicularly to the latter, said head being integral with the centering part in the form of a pin generally of parallelepiped shape cooperating with the width of the constricted portion of smaller dimension of said lumen. The panel according to the invention is made of any material and material, but preferably a plastic material, being obtained by any known and appropriate manufacturing process.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels : La figure 1 est une vue en perspective avant assemblage d'un élément modulaire de panneau et de la cheminée.The invention is set out below in more detail with the aid of the figures of the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view before assembly of a modular panel element and of the chimney.
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du panneau. La figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale considérée selon la ligne 3.3 de la figure 2. La figure 4 montre l'assemblage des panneaux entre eux.Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the panel. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 3.3 of Figure 2. Figure 4 shows the assembly of the panels together.
La figure 5 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du verrouillage des éléments de cheminée par rapport à l'élément modulaire.Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the locking of the chimney elements relative to the modular element.
On rappelle que chaque panneau, destiné à réaliser après assemblage, un bassin de piscine, sans pour cela exclure d'autres applications, est constitué par une structure modulaire indépendante de forme générale rectangulaire. Chaque panneau présente un cadre périphérique d'assemblage et de rigidité constitué par deux ailes verticales (la) et (lb) et deux ailes horizontales (le) et (ld). La hauteur (h) de chaque élément (1) est très sensiblement quatre fois supérieure à sa largeur (1). La conception de base de ce panneau modulaire est du type de celle définie dans le brevet précédemment cité, EP 0382649.It will be recalled that each panel, intended to produce after assembly, a swimming pool, without excluding other applications, is constituted by an independent modular structure of generally rectangular shape. Each panel has a frame assembly and rigidity device consisting of two vertical wings (la) and (lb) and two horizontal wings (le) and (ld). The height (h) of each element (1) is very substantially four times greater than its width (1). The basic design of this modular panel is of the type defined in the aforementioned patent, EP 0382649.
Selon une caractéristique à la base de l'invention, les ailes verticales d'assemblage (la) et (lb) présentent des agencements aptes à assurer d'une manière instantanée l'assemblage en juxtaposition deux à deux des panneaux modulaires et simultanément l'étanchéité au niveau de la zone d'assemblage en résultant. Dans ce but, l'une des ailes (la) présente verticalement sur la totalité de sa hauteur, un profilé débordant (le) présentant latéralement une lèvre d'étanchéité (lf). Cet élément d'assemblage et d'étanchéité a une section transversale très sensiblement triangulaire et est destiné à coopérer avec une gorge de forme complémentaire (lg) établie sur la totalité de la hauteur de l'autre aile (lb). Le profilé (le) et la rainure (lg) sont conformés à proximité de la face plane (lh) du panneau en tant que tel.According to a characteristic at the basis of the invention, the vertical assembly wings (la) and (lb) have arrangements capable of ensuring instantaneous assembly in juxtaposition two by two of the modular panels and simultaneously the sealing at the resulting assembly area. For this purpose, one of the wings (la) has vertically over its entire height, an overhanging profile (le) having laterally a sealing lip (lf). This assembly and sealing element has a very substantially triangular cross section and is intended to cooperate with a groove of complementary shape (lg) established over the entire height of the other wing (lb). The profile (le) and the groove (lg) are shaped close to the flat face (lh) of the panel as such.
Par ailleurs, la face (la) de chaque élément modulaire (1) présente sur la totalité de sa hauteur, à intervalles réguliers ou non, une série de languettes d'accrochage (lj) aptes à coopérer avec des ouvertures débouchantes (lk) formées dans l'épaisseur de l'autre aile (lb) et d'une manière correspondante. Chaque languette (lj) présente une zone de raccordement (lj l) avec l'aile correspondante (la), tandis que son extrémité présente la zone de crochetage en tant que telle (lj2). L'ensemble des languettes (lj) et les lumières (lk) sont situées du côté de l'extrémité libre du cadre périphérique, c'est-à-dire à l'opposé des profilés de centrage et d'étanchéité et de leur rainure correspondante (lf), (le) et (lg).Furthermore, the face (la) of each modular element (1) has over its entire height, at regular or irregular intervals, a series of hooking tongues (lj) capable of cooperating with through openings (lk) formed in the thickness of the other wing (lb) and in a corresponding manner. Each tab (lj) has a connection zone (lj l) with the corresponding wing (la), while its end has the hooking zone as such (lj2). All the tabs (lj) and the lights (lk) are located on the side of the free end of the peripheral frame, that is to say opposite of the centering and sealing profiles and their corresponding groove (lf), (le) and (lg).
A noter qu'en position de juxtaposition des panneaux modulaires, au niveau des ailes (la) et (lb) de deux panneaux adjacents, les profilés (le) sont engagés dans les nervures (lg), la lèvre d'étanchéité (lf) étant écrasée à l'intérieur de ladite rainure pour assurer une parfaite étanchéité.Note that in the position of juxtaposition of the modular panels, at the wings (la) and (lb) of two adjacent panels, the profiles (le) are engaged in the ribs (lg), the sealing lip (lf) being crushed inside said groove to ensure a perfect seal.
Le maintien dans cette position s'effectue par l'engagement des languettes d'accrochage (lj) dans les ouvertures correspondantes (lk). On observe également que les rainures verticales (lg) peuvent permettre quelques variations angulaires après assemblage en juxtaposition des panneaux, permettant ainsi d'obtenir des structures de bassin de formes géométriques diverses.Maintaining in this position is effected by engaging the latching tabs (lj) in the corresponding openings (lk). It is also observed that the vertical grooves (lg) can allow some angular variations after assembly in juxtaposition of the panels, thus making it possible to obtain basin structures of various geometric shapes.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la face interne du panneau (lh) présente verticalement deux rangées de pression (11) établies parallèlement et à proximité des ailes verticales (la) et (lb). Ces systèmes de pression (11) sont destinés à coopérer avec des lumières étranglées (2a) que présente chacune des ailes d'appui (2b) et (2c) d'éléments de renforcement (2) faisant office de cheminée.According to another characteristic of the invention, the internal face of the panel (lh) has vertically two rows of pressure (11) established parallel and close to the vertical wings (la) and (lb). These pressure systems (11) are intended to cooperate with constricted lights (2a) that each has support wings (2b) and (2c) of reinforcing elements (2) acting as a chimney.
Ces éléments (2) sont, d'une manière parfaitement connue, constitués par un rebord supérieur équerré (2d) et par une goulotte verticaleThese elements (2) are, in a perfectly known manner, constituted by a squared upper edge (2d) and by a vertical chute
(2e) formée entre les ailes d'appui (2b) et (2c). La goulotte (2e) est destinée à recevoir du béton, de même que le rebord équerré (2d), qui , après assemblage des panneaux modulaires (1) entre eux, va constituer un chaînage.(2e) formed between the support wings (2b) and (2c). The chute (2e) is intended to receive concrete, as is the squared edge (2d), which, after assembly of modular panels (1) between them, will constitute a chain.
La largeur des éléments de cheminée (2) est très sensiblement égale à la largeur considérée entre les faces internes des ailes d'assemblage (la) et (lb) de l'élément modulaire de base (1).The width of the chimney elements (2) is very substantially equal to the width considered between the internal faces of the assembly wings (la) and (lb) of the basic modular element (1).
Chaque pression (11) présente une tête (111) et une partie de centrage (112). La tête (111) a une forme oblongue dont la largeur correspond très sensiblement à la largeur de la plus grande partie de la lumière étranglée (2a) en étant orientée perpendiculairement à cette dernière. Cette tête (111) est solidaire de la partie de centrage (112) sous forme d'un pion cylindrique coopérant avec la largeur de la partie étranglée de plus petite dimension de la lumière (2a). Par exemple, chaque élément modulaire de base (1) présente, par rangée, avantageusement cinq pressions de verrouillage coopérant par conséquent avec trois lumières étranglées que présente les ailes d'appui des éléments faisant office de cheminée (2). Il suffit donc d'engager facial ement les éléments de renforcement (2) par rapport à la face interne des panneaux modulaires de base (1) pour présenter la plus grande largeur de la lumière étranglée en regard des têtes (111) des pressions et de baisser ainsi l'élément (2) afin d'engager le pion cylindrique dans la partie rétrécie de la lumière étranglée afin d'assurer d'une manière concomitante un verrouillage automatique et instantané.Each pressure (11) has a head (111) and a centering part (112). The head (111) has an oblong shape, the width of which corresponds very substantially to the width of most of the constricted lumen (2a) while being oriented perpendicularly to the latter. This head (111) is integral with the centering part (112) in the form of a cylindrical pin cooperating with the width of the constricted part of smaller dimension of the lumen (2a). For example, each basic modular element (1) advantageously has, by row, five locking pressures therefore cooperating with three throttled openings that have the support wings of the elements acting as a chimney (2). It is therefore sufficient to engage the reinforcement elements (2) visually with respect to the internal face of the basic modular panels (1) to present the greatest width of the constricted lumen opposite the heads (111) of the pressures and thus lowering the element (2) in order to engage the cylindrical pin in the narrowed part of the constricted lumen in order to ensure concomitantly an automatic and instantaneous locking.
A noter que pour éviter tout démontage accidentel de la cheminée par rapport au panneau, ce dernier peut présenter, au niveau d'au moins une pression, une nervure (In) coopérant en appui avec un bossage que présente une partie de l'élément de cheminée. L'élément modulaire de base (1) et l'élément de cheminée (2) sont réalisés en tout matériau, notamment en matière plastique, et peuvent être obtenus par tout procédé de fabrication connu et approprié, notamment les éléments (1) et (2) peuvent être obtenus par injection.Note that to avoid any accidental dismantling of the chimney with respect to the panel, the latter may have, at at least one pressure, a rib (In) cooperating in abutment with a boss that has a part of the element of fireplace. The basic modular element (1) and the chimney element (2) are made of any material, in particular plastic, and can be obtained by any known and appropriate manufacturing process, in particular the elements (1) and ( 2) can be obtained by injection.
Les avantages ressortent bien de la description, en particulier on souligne et on rappelle :The advantages clearly emerge from the description, in particular it is emphasized and recalled:
- la fixation instantanée et immédiate en position de juxtaposition des panneaux modulaires de base, sans nécessiter l'emploi d'organes rapportés quelconques d'assemblage, tout en permettant simultanément à cet assemblage d'obtenir une parfaite étanchéité au niveau de la jonction.- The instantaneous and immediate fixing in the position of juxtaposition of the basic modular panels, without requiring the use of any attached assembly members, while simultaneously allowing this assembly to obtain a perfect seal at the junction.
- le verrouillage des éléments de cheminée par rapport aux éléments de base, sans nécessiter l'emploi d'éléments extérieurs. - la rapidité du montage en résultant sous la réduction des coûts d'installation.- the locking of the chimney elements with respect to the basic elements, without requiring the use of external elements. - the speed of assembly resulting in reduced installation costs.
- la simplicité de mise en œuvre.- the simplicity of implementation.
- l'efficacité des résultats obtenus. - the effectiveness of the results obtained.
