Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for protecting accidental falls in private swimming pools, inadvertently or unaware of the dangers that an empty or full pool can pose to all potential victims and, moreover, those requiring almost permanent monitoring.
- the device according to the invention overcomes these various drawbacks.
- a first characteristic it comprises a natural barrier of cold water leaving jets having a large angle of action, laced on the edge of the basin.
- Each jet being connected in parallel to a push button and to a sanitary cold water pipe, controlled by a valve and therefore supplied by a bypass placed after the general water meter using a T, the set discreetly sporting the basin under a slightly moving corridor of slabs, tiles or rigid coverings, integrating 5 with the rest of the range.
- the movement corridor can be made up of slabs, tiles or other rigid and compartmentalized coverings, in square or other shapes that can-
- MOVING SHEET ⁇ RULE 26 beings joined together, by a flexible join but very resistant to the tensions of the light play emitted with each use and the bad weather.
- crushed slab rests at the end of the game, on a concrete support receiving all the weight, and not on the push button which is not quite at the end of its travel and which is touched when the slab which protects it is in the high position. What is more, it may have in its center, a housing for the push button.
- Each slab laid side by side and held to the rest of the covering by a flexible joint is independent.
- the unalterable joint is made on the two sides which firmly hold the slab and is sufficiently flexible to ensure its proper functioning.
- the other two sides of the slab are when provided with a coating ensuring a clear sliding between each between them and watertight to the eye, but possibly allowing water to flow through these sides in order to recycle it in the pool, the jet only ceasing after the weight has been removed from the slab.
- the solicity push button is sensitive enough to react to a slightest pressure and open its flap to release the jet.
- the elements used are stainless.
- Figure 1 shows a general view after the integrated layout of the system and its operation.
- Figure 2 and 2a shows in section, the operating device and its use.
- FIG. 4 shows by transparency, the operating device.
- FIG. 4 is a mixture of these figures.
- the device comprises a line of jets showing only their action face (water outlet), matching and merging with the edge of the basin (l They are supplied by a parallel and perpendicular pipeline, diverted using a T placed after the general water meter and controlled by a valve and also provided with a drain ( 2 ). made of copper, galvanized or plastic if it is sufficiently resistant to the desired pressure.
- the pipe (2) is fixed in the working channel (4), under the raised slabs (5).
- buttons (3) and the flexibility of the joint (6) is such that a slight pressure exerted by the user (7) on one of these slabs (5) is sufficient for the opening of the valve and thus of the cold shower surprising the subject led to react by moving back instinctively, but who can of course take consiament that same shower in peace to rinse or to avoid hydrocution even by a brief passage, before diving for example, wherever you are, around the pool.
- the play (8) expressed by the movement of the slab between the normal position (9) and the actio position (9bis) is reduced to a minimum (approx: 5mm). This play therefore does not interfere too much with the joints (6) which undergo a very slight tension affecting neither their resistance nor their flexibility, having a second spring effect, the slab is replaced perfectly and automatically when the pressure is withdrawn.
- the flexible joint (6) may in some cases be slightly wider than the rest of the beach joints (mozaic) but will keep the same color (10) as much as possible.
- the moving slabs can be provided on the 2 or 4 sides, small retractable latches with small housings opposite their corresponding, allowing a descent and ascent of the perfectly rectilinear slab ensuring it an equally perfect set up.
- the triggering of the jets can just as easily be done using manual or automatic systems such as beams or electric photo cells, remote controls etc ...; the principle always remaining the stupor of the cold jet: to roll back and not go beyond this natural barrier, inconsiamentary.
- the effective angle of the jets will be for the right edges of the pools of approximately: 140 ° for the width and 70 ° in height, consequently for the angles and rounded of the different pools.
- the moving lane being about 1 meter from the jets, the pipeline being open and adjusted using the valve.
- the device according to: -the invasion is particularly intended for protection in private swimming pools.
- the assembly being essential for the proper functioning of the invention.
