Description

L'invention se rapporte à une installation pour la baignade de personnes.The invention relates to an installation for bathing people.

Par baignade, on désigne essentiellement une opération d'immersion du corps d'une personne.By swimming, we essentially designate an immersion operation of the body of a person.

L'invention s'applique avantageusement, mais non exclusivement à la construction d'une installation, notamment hors sol, pour l'hydrothérapie, l'hydromassage, la relaxation.The invention applies advantageously, but not exclusively to the construction of a facility, especially above ground, for hydrotherapy, hydromassage, relaxation.

Par installation, on désigne un ensemble comprenant notamment, un bassin destiné à contenir un certain volume d'eau et une structure support de ce bassin.By installation, we mean a set comprising in particular, a basin intended to contain a certain volume of water and a support structure for this pool.

Par structure support, on désigne des moyens qui permettent notamment de soutenir la paroi du bassin, d'assurer sa stabilité au sol ...By support structure, means means which allow in particular to support the wall of the basin, to ensure its stability on the ground ...

Un tel bassin est constitué par une paroi rigide qui affecte la forme d'un gradin afin de permettre à au moins une personne de s'y tenir en position assise, pour être plus ou moins immergée.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.

Outre un bassin, une installation de ce type, comprend classiquement un appareillage de mise en circulation de l'eau en circuit fermé entre, d'une part, au moins un point de prélèvement dans une gouttière de débordement qui s'étend périphériquement au bassin et, d'autre part, au moins un point d'injection, tel une buse d'injection dans le bassin.In addition to a basin, 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.

Un tel ensemble est plus particulièrement destiné à être posé sur une surface, tel le sol d'un local. Such an assembly is more particularly intended to be placed on a surface, like the floor of a room.

De telles installations existent, mais le fait de devoir utiliser des ouvertures conventionnelles, telles les portes, prévues dans les locaux de bâtiments, oblige les constructeurs à limiter au moins une dimension transversale de l'ensemble bassin et gouttière périphérique, à la hauteur d'une porte de manière telle que cet ensemble puisse franchir une ouverture en étant orienté à chant.There are such facilities, but having to use openings conventional, such as doors, provided in building premises, requires manufacturers to limit at least one transverse dimension of the whole basin and peripheral gutter, at the height of a door so that this together can cross an opening while being oriented to edge.

Avec ce type de construction conventionnelle, au moins l'une des dimensions transversales du bassin en tant que tel, est donc notablement affectée.With this type of conventional construction, at least one of the transverse dimensions of the pelvis as such, is therefore notably affected.

Un des résultats que l'invention vise à obtenir est une installation qui s'affranchit du problème d'encombrement.One of the results which the invention aims to obtain is an installation which overcomes the congestion problem.

Un autre problème rencontré avec les installations classiques est que l'appareil de mise en circulation de l'eau comprend un certain nombre de dispositifs de traitement, tels des filtres, et un bac tampon, c'est-à-dire un réservoir adapté pour recevoir une certaine quantité d'eau afin de permettre le renouvellement de l'eau du bassin par un débordement contrôlé, indépendamment du nombre de personnes qui s'y tiennent.Another problem encountered with conventional installations is that 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.

Cet appareillage est classiquement disposé dans un local technique et relié au bassin par des conduites, ce qui implique qu'un certain nombre d'aménagements soit réalisé non seulement dans le local qui doit recevoir l'installation, mais également dans un local attenant.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.

Un autre résultat que l'invention vise à obtenir est une installation qui ne nécessite pas de local technique.Another result which the invention aims to obtain is an installation which does not no technical room required.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une installation pour la baignade de personnes et, notamment, pour l'hydrothérapie, la relaxation, laquelle installation est notamment caractérisée en ce que :

  • le bassin est constitué par une paroi sensiblement rigide qui, en position d'utilisation,
    • est déterminée par deux faces dites supérieure et inférieure,
    • dans une partie centrale, est encaissée de manière à constituer le volume utile du bassin,
    • dans une partie périphérique, forme une collerette dont la surface supérieure constitue une surface dite de débordement,
  • la structure comprend au moins deux parties assemblables selon un plan de joint sécant au plan de la collerette, lesquelles parties définissent,
    • un moyen d'appui au sol,
    • une gouttière disposée pour s'étendre sous le niveau de la collerette du bassin et recueillir de l'eau évacuée du bassin par débordement au dessus de ladite collerette,
  • au moins l'un des éléments que sont le bassin et la structure comprend :
    • une capacité de réception d'un volume déterminé d'eau, laquelle est au moins indirectement reliée à la gouttière,
    • au moins un moyen dit de continuité d'écoulement pour garantir l'écoulement, dans la gouttière, de l'eau s'échappant dudit bassin par débordement.
To this end, the subject of the invention is an installation for bathing people and, in particular, for hydrotherapy, relaxation, which installation is notably characterized in that:
  • the basin consists of a substantially rigid wall which, in the position of use,
    • is determined by two faces called upper and lower,
    • in a central part, is collected so as to constitute the useful volume of the basin,
    • in a peripheral part, forms a collar whose upper surface constitutes a so-called overflow surface,
  • the structure comprises at least two parts which can be assembled according to a plane of intersection intersecting the plane of the collar, which parts define,
    • a means of support on the ground,
    • a gutter arranged to extend below the level of the collar of the basin and collect water discharged from the basin by overflowing above said collar,
  • at least one of the elements that are the basin and the structure includes:
    • a capacity for receiving a determined volume of water, which is at least indirectly connected to the gutter,
    • at least one so-called flow continuity means to guarantee the flow, in the gutter, of the water escaping from said basin by overflow.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente :

  • figure 1 : une installation selon l'invention, en vue perspective,
  • figure 2 : une installation selon l'invention vue en coupe partielle selon un plan transversal approximativement vertical,
  • figure 3 : à plus grande échelle, un détail de réalisation de la figure 2,
  • figure 4 : une vue de dessus d'une installation en cours de montage.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description below given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the attached drawing which represents:
  • FIG. 1: an installation according to the invention, in perspective view,
  • FIG. 2: an installation according to the invention seen in partial section along an approximately vertical transverse plane,
  • FIG. 3: on a larger scale, a detail of embodiment of FIG. 2,
  • Figure 4: a top view of an installation during assembly.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit une installation 1 pour la baignade de personnes (non représentées).Referring to the drawing, we see an installation 1 for swimming people (not represented).

L'installation 1 consiste en un ensemble comprenant notamment, un bassin 2 destiné à contenir un certain volume d'eau 3 et une structure support 4 de ce bassin 2 au dessus d'une surface 5, tel le sol 5 d'un local (non représenté).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).

Classiquement, l'installation 1 comprend un appareillage 6 de mise en circulation de l'eau 3 en circuit fermé entre, d'une part, au moins un point 7 amont tel un point de prélèvement constitué par un orifice de vidange d'une gouttière de débordement 8 disposée périphériquement au bassin 2 et, d'autre part, au moins un point aval tel un point d'injection 9 constitué par une buse d'injection dans le bassin 2.Conventionally, 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.

L'appareillage 6 de mise en circulation comprend quant à lui un certain nombre de dispositifs tels des pompes, des moyens de traitement de l'eau, des filtres, et une capacité 10 dite bac tampon, c'est-à-dire un réservoir 10 adapté pour recevoir un certain volume d'eau notamment afin de permettre le renouvellement de l'eau du bassin par débordement contrôlé indépendamment du nombre de personnes qui s'y tiennent.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.

De manière remarquable :

  • le bassin 2 est constitué par une paroi 2A sensiblement rigide qui, en position d'utilisation,
    • est déterminée par deux faces 2B, 2C dites supérieure 2B et inférieure 2C,
    • dans une partie centrale, est encaissée de manière à constituer le volume utile du bassin 2,
    • dans une partie périphérique, forme une collerette 11 dont la surface supérieure 11A constitue une surface dite de débordement,
  • la structure 4 comprend au moins deux parties S1, S2 assemblables selon un plan de joint sécant au plan de la collerette 11, lesquelles parties définissent,
    • un moyen 12 d'appui au sol,
    • une gouttière 8 disposée pour s'étendre sous le niveau de la collerette 11 du bassin 2 et recueillir de l'eau 3 évacuée du bassin par débordement au dessus de ladite collerette 11,
  • au moins l'un des éléments que sont le bassin 2 et la structure 4 comprend :
    • une capacité 10 de réception d'un volume déterminé d'eau, laquelle est au moins indirectement reliée à la gouttière 8,
    • au moins un moyen 13 dit de continuité d'écoulement pour garantir l'écoulement, dans la gouttière 8, de l'eau 3 s'échappant dudit bassin 2 par débordement.
Remarkably:
  • the basin 2 is constituted by a substantially rigid wall 2A which, in the position of use,
    • is determined by two faces 2B, 2C called upper 2B and lower 2C,
    • in a central part, is collected so as to constitute the useful volume of the basin 2,
    • in a peripheral part, forms a flange 11 whose upper surface 11A constitutes a so-called overflow surface,
  • the structure 4 comprises at least two parts S1, S2 which can be assembled along a plane of intersecting joint with the plane of the collar 11, which parts define,
    • a means 12 for supporting the ground,
    • a gutter 8 arranged to extend below the level of the collar 11 of the basin 2 and collect water 3 discharged from the basin by overflowing above said collar 11,
  • at least one of the elements that are the basin 2 and the structure 4 comprises:
    • a capacity 10 for receiving a determined volume of water, which is at least indirectly connected to the gutter 8,
    • at least one means 13 known as flow continuity to guarantee the flow, in the gutter 8, of the water 3 escaping from said basin 2 by overflow.

Ainsi conçue, une installation pour la baignade de personnes, peut être transportée et déplacée dans un bâtiment, par des ouvertures conventionnelles, en vue d'être installée dans un local existant, sans que la présence de la gouttière 8 périphérique vienne notablement affecter la valeur maximale de l'une des dimensions transversales T qu'il est possible de donner au bassin 2 afin qu'il puisse franchir une ouverture en étant orienté à chant.Thus designed, 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.

Le moyen 13 de continuité d'écoulement comprend au moins deux surfaces opposées 11B, 4A qui, l'une 11B constituée par une surface portée par la collerette 11 et l'autre par une surface 4A bordant la gouttière 8, sont disposées pour former un emboítement localisé sensiblement conique du bassin 2 sur la structure 4 et s'appuyer étroitement l'une sur l'autre.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.

De préférence, le moyen 13 de continuité d'écoulement comprend un élément d'étanchéité destiné à être interposé entre les deux surfaces opposées 11B, 4A qui sont l'une 11B constituée par une surface portée par la collerette 11 et l'autre 4A par une surface bordant la gouttière 8.Preferably, 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.

De manière remarquable, la structure 4 comprend un moyen 14 de reprise de la charge supportée par le bassin 2.Remarkably, the structure 4 comprises a means 14 for recovery of the load supported by the basin 2.

De manière notable, le moyen 14 de reprise de la charge supportée par le bassin 2 comprend le moyen de continuité d'écoulement.Notably, the means 14 for taking up the load supported by the basin 2 includes the flow continuity means.

Au moins une partie de la charge du bassin 2 est donc transférée à la structure 4 par le biais du moyen de continuité d'écoulement 13.At least part of the load on basin 2 is therefore transferred to the structure 4 by means of flow continuity means 13.

Avantageusement, le moyen 14 de reprise de la charge supportée par le bassin 2 comprend une portée 2D d'appui au moins indirect sur la surface support 5.Advantageously, 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.

De préférence le moyen 14 de reprise de la charge du bassin comprend :

  • d'une part, le moyen 13 de continuité d'écoulement, et
  • d'autre part, une portée 2D d'appui au moins indirect sur la surface support 5.
Preferably, the means 14 for taking up the load on the basin comprises:
  • on the one hand, the flow continuity means 13, and
  • on the other hand, a 2D bearing surface of at least indirect support on the support surface 5.

Lorsqu'un élément d'étanchéité de type déformable est interposé entre les deux surfaces opposées du moyen 13 de continuité d'écoulement, la portée 2D d'appui au moins indirect du bassin 2 sur la surface support 5 permet de limiter, à une valeur déterminée, la déformation de cet élément d'étanchéité 13A.When a deformable type sealing element is interposed between the two opposite surfaces of the flow continuity means 13, 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.

De manière à simplifier la lecture des dessins, l'élément d'étanchéité n'a pas été représenté.In order to simplify the reading of the drawings, the sealing element has not been represented.

De manière notable, au moins l'une des parties constitutives de la structure 4 est formée par une paroi 4B qui définit une capacité 10 de réception d'un volume déterminé de fluide et, au moins certaines des faces de cette capacité constituent quant à elles :

  • une surface 12 d'appui sur le support 5 de l'installation,
  • une gouttière 8 disposée pour s'étendre sous le niveau de la collerette 11 du bassin 2 et recueillir de l'eau évacuée du bassin 2 par débordement au dessus de la collerette 11,
  • au moins une surface 4A pour, par un appui étanche au moins indirect contre une surface 11B de la paroi du bassin 2, participer à la constitution du moyen 13 de continuité d'écoulement.
Notably, at least one of the constituent parts of the structure 4 is formed by a wall 4B which defines a capacity 10 for receiving a determined volume of fluid and, at least some of the faces of this capacity constitute, for their part :
  • a support surface 12 on the support 5 of the installation,
  • a gutter 8 arranged to extend below the level of the collar 11 of the basin 2 and collect water discharged from the basin 2 by overflowing above the collar 11,
  • at least one surface 4A for, by sealing at least indirectly against a surface 11B of the wall of the basin 2, participate in the constitution of the means 13 for flow continuity.

De manière également notable, au moins l'une des parties constitutives de la structure 4 est formée par une paroi 4B qui définit un volume à même d'abriter un matériel technique 6, tel un appareil de mise en circulation et de traitement de l'eau utilisée dans le bassin, au moins certaines des faces de ce volume constituant quant à elles :

  • une surface 12 d'appui sur le support 5 de l'installation,
  • une gouttière 8 disposée pour s'étendre sous le niveau de la collerette 11 du bassin et recueillir de l'eau évacuée du bassin par débordement au dessus de la collerette,
  • au moins une surface 4A pour, par un appui étanche au moins indirect contre une surface 11B de la paroi du bassin 2, participer à la constitution du moyen 13 de continuité d'écoulement.
Also notably, at least one of the constituent parts of the structure 4 is formed by a wall 4B which defines a volume capable of housing technical equipment 6, such as a device for circulating and processing the water used in the basin, at least some of the faces of this volume constituting:
  • a support surface 12 on the support 5 of the installation,
  • a gutter 8 arranged to extend below the level of the collar 11 of the basin and collect water discharged from the basin by overflowing above the collar,
  • at least one surface 4A for, by sealing at least indirectly against a surface 11B of the wall of the basin 2, participate in the constitution of the means 13 for flow continuity.

Cette configuration de structure permet d'exploiter particulièrement l'espace disponible autour d'un bassin dont la paroi est structurée en gradin.This structure configuration makes it possible to make the most of the space available around a basin whose wall is structured in steps.

De manière remarquable, lorsque le bassin affecte une forme de révolution, la structure 4 est constituée en plusieurs parties sous la forme d'au moins deux et de préférence d'une pluralité de secteurs angulaires S1 et S2 dans l'exemple représenté.Remarkably, when the pelvis affects a form of revolution, 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.

De manière notable, l'installation comprend des moyens d'assemblage (non représentés) des différentes parties S1, S2 de la structure.Notably, the installation includes assembly means (not shown) of the different parts S1, S2 of the structure.

L'installation comprend également des moyens tels des conduites, des canalisations, des conducteurs d'informations qui n'ont pas été représentés pour la clarté des dessins.The installation also includes means such as pipes, pipes, information conductors which have not been shown for the clarity of the drawings.
