Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a device for vertically guiding a submersible flexible panel for a pool, in particular for a pool comprising elongated hollow modular elements assembled together, said elements comprising at one end an impoundment opening and at their other end a water drain opening, said openings located on the opposite front sides of the panel being connected to a compressed gas dispensing means of air passing for a portion above the elongate hollow modular elements and the basin surface; and for another part below the surface of the basin.
  • the dispensing means comprises at least one dispensing tube to which is connected an introduction tube connected to the elongated hollow modular elements, the edges of said panel substantially adjusting to the walls of the basin so as to form a basin cover in the upper position and at least a bottom in submerged position the upper and lower horizontal faces of the panel being flat and free, said horizontal upper face being substantially equal to the length of the basin being able to form the cover in the upper position and at least two bottom levels of the basin in position submerged.
  • the device is characterized in that starting from the bottom of said basin, it protrudes from the surface of the basin and forms at least one negative flange, in particular formed from rigid tubes, above said basin.
  • the vertical part of the device has an outer surface forming a smooth and free guide surface for raising the panel.
  • the device is fixed on the ground near the basin.
  • This device with its free guide surface and its abutment to guide the ascent of the panel.
  • the subject of the invention is also a method of implementing the device for guiding the ascent of a submersible cover panel in accordance with those described above, characterized in that the cover rises back into the basin full of liquid when it fills with compressed gas displacing the liquid contained in the hollow tubular elements and is freely guided by sliding on the outer surface of at least one rigid vertical element extending from the surface to the bottom of the basin, said cover emerging out of liquid and being stopped by a stop disposed on the vertical member above the basin surface, and then falling to the surface to cover the liquid.
  • the free guide device of the panel 1 shows a sectional view in FIG. consists of elements hollow profiles 2 extended by a sleeve 3.
  • a compressor P is connected to the panel 1 by a pipe 4.
  • the pipe 4 has a flexible portion 5 extending from the panel 1 to the bottom of the basin, extended by a rectilinear and vertical rigid portion 6.
  • the vertical portion 6 protrudes above the basin and is extended by a portion 7 also rigid and which overhangs the rear end of the basin and the panel 1 by a negative flange.
  • Part 7 of the pipe 4 is extended by a portion 8 connected to the compressor P.
  • the pipe 4 is fixed by the tabs 9 screwed to the ground by the screws 10.
  • the flexible portion 5 of the pipe 4 allows the panel 1 to remain connected to the compressor P, even when it is lowered to the bottom of the basin.
  • the rigid portion 6 of the pipe 4 prevents shocks between the panel 1 and the rear wall of the basin.
  • the negative flange 7 and the upper part of the rigid part 6 prevents the panel 1 from rising too high and falling on the ground at the edge of the basin.
  • Another vertical guide bar also having a negative edge above the basin and preventing the pivoting of the panel 1 around the rigid portion 6 of the pipe 4, especially when it is installed in simple for small basins.
