Definitions

  • the invention relates to an installation for bathing people.
  • the invention applies advantageously, but not exclusively to the construction of a facility, especially above ground, for hydrotherapy, hydromassage, relaxation.
  • a set comprising in particular, a basin intended to contain a certain volume of water and a support structure for this pool.
  • support structure means means which allow in particular to support the wall of the basin, to ensure its stability on the ground ...
  • Such a basin is constituted by a rigid wall which takes the form of a bleacher to allow at least one person to stand in it while seated, to be more or less submerged.
  • an installation of this type conventionally includes a apparatus for circulating water in a closed circuit between, on the one hand, minus one sampling point in an extending overflow gutter around the pelvis and, on the other hand, at least one injection point, such as a injection nozzle in the basin.
  • Such an assembly is more particularly intended to be placed on a surface, like the floor of a room.
  • the water circulating apparatus comprises a number of treatment devices, such as filters, and a buffer tank, i.e. a tank adapted to receive a certain amount of water to allow the renewal of the basin water by a controlled overflow, regardless of the number of people who stick to it.
  • a buffer tank i.e. a tank adapted to receive a certain amount of water to allow the renewal of the basin water by a controlled overflow, regardless of the number of people who stick to it.
  • This apparatus is conventionally placed in a technical room and connected to the basin by pipes, which implies that a certain number not only in the room which is to receive the installation, but also in an adjoining room.
  • Another result which the invention aims to obtain is an installation which does not no technical room required.
  • Installation 1 consists of an assembly comprising in particular a basin 2 intended to contain a certain volume of water 3 and a support structure 4 of this basin 2 above a surface 5, such as the ground 5 of a room (not shown).
  • the installation 1 comprises an apparatus 6 for setting water circulation 3 in closed circuit between, on the one hand, at least one point 7 upstream such as a sampling point constituted by a drain opening of a gutter of overflow 8 disposed peripherally to the basin 2 and, on the other hand, at least a downstream point such as an injection point 9 constituted by an injection nozzle in the pelvis 2.
  • the apparatus 6 for circulation comprises a certain number of devices such as pumps, water treatment means, filters, and a capacity 10 called a buffer tank, that is to say a suitable tank 10 to receive a certain volume of water in particular to allow the renewal of basin water by overflow controlled independently of number of people sticking to it.
  • a buffer tank that is to say a suitable tank 10 to receive a certain volume of water in particular to allow the renewal of basin water by overflow controlled independently of number of people sticking to it.
  • an installation for bathing people can be transported and moved in a building, by conventional openings, in order to be installed in an existing room, without the presence of the gutter 8 peripheral device significantly affects the maximum value of one of the transverse dimensions T which it is possible to give to basin 2 so that it can cross an opening while being oriented to edge.
  • the flow continuity means 13 comprises at least two opposite surfaces 11B, 4A which, one 11B constituted by a surface carried by the flange 11 and the other by a surface 4A bordering the gutter 8, are arranged to form a substantially conical localized socket of the basin 2 on the structure 4 and lean closely on each other.
  • the flow continuity means 13 comprises a sealing element intended to be interposed between the two opposite surfaces 11B, 4A which are one 11B constituted by a surface carried by the flange 11 and the other 4A by a surface bordering the gutter 8.
  • the structure 4 comprises a means 14 for recovery of the load supported by the basin 2.
  • the means 14 for taking up the load supported by the basin 2 includes the flow continuity means.
  • At least part of the load on basin 2 is therefore transferred to the structure 4 by means of flow continuity means 13.
  • the means 14 for taking up the load supported by the basin 2 includes a 2D bearing surface of at least indirect support on the support surface 5.
  • the 2D range at least indirect support of the basin 2 on the support surface 5 makes it possible to limit, to a determined value, the deformation of this sealing element 13A.
  • This structure configuration makes it possible to make the most of the space available around a basin whose wall is structured in steps.
  • the structure 4 is made up of several parts in the form of at least two and preferably a plurality of angular sectors S1 and S2 in the example represented.
  • the installation includes assembly means (not shown) of the different parts S1, S2 of the structure.
  • the installation also includes means such as pipes, pipes, information conductors which have not been shown for the clarity of the drawings.
