Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection de la portion émergée d'un liner de piscine. Elle s'étend aux margelles constitutives de ce dispositif de protection.The invention relates to a device for protecting the emerged portion of a swimming pool liner. It extends to the coping constituting this protection device.

A l'heure actuelle, la grande majorité des piscines comporte une portion de surface émergée du liner s'étendant entre la ligne d'eau et la sous-face des margelles, qui est soumise aux agressions climatiques et notamment aux agressions des ultra-violets, et dont la durée de vie est donc moindre que celle de la portion immergée du liner.At present, the vast majority of swimming pools have a portion of the surface emerging from the liner extending between the water line and the underside of the copings, which is subjected to climatic aggressions and in particular to aggressions from ultraviolet rays. , and whose lifespan is therefore shorter than that of the submerged portion of the liner.

De plus, au niveau de la ligne d'eau, se forme une marque horizontale de salissure qu'il convient, pour des raisons esthétiques, de nettoyer régulièrement, et qui impose, pour ce nettoyage, d'utiliser le plus souvent des produits toxiques.In addition, at the level of the water line, a horizontal dirt mark is formed which it is appropriate, for aesthetic reasons, to clean regularly, and which requires, for this cleaning, to use most often toxic products. .

Un remède utilisé lors du vieillissement excessif de la portion de surface émergée du liner consiste à utiliser une frise, généralement décorative, que l'on vient rapporter sur cette portion de surface en partie supérieure des parois verticales du bassin. Toutefois, cette solution n'est qu'un palliatif qui ne résout pas le problème à la base car cette frise est elle-même exposée aux agressions et doit également être nettoyée au niveau de la ligne d'eau.A remedy used during excessive aging of the portion of surface emerged from the liner consists in using a frieze, generally decorative, which one comes to bring on this surface portion in upper part of the vertical walls of the basin. However, this solution is only a palliative which does not solve the problem at the base because this frieze is itself exposed to attack and must also be cleaned at the level of the water line.

Une autre solution visant, elle, à solutionner le problème de vieillissement a consisté à réaliser des margelles, notamment décrites dans US-3 628 198, et US-4 706 308, comportant des moyens d'accrochage et de maintien d'une plaque verticale de parement de hauteur suffisante pour s'étendre sous la ligne d'eau, de façon à former un écran pour la portion de liner située au-dessus de cette ligne d'eau.Another solution aimed, for its part, at solving the aging problem consisted in producing copings, notably described in US Pat. No. 3,628,198, and US Pat. facing of sufficient height to extend under the water line, so as to form a screen for the portion of liner situated above this water line.

Toutefois, et en premier lieu, de telles margelles ne solutionnent pas l'inconvénient inhérent à la ligne de salissure au niveau de la ligne d'eau. De plus, elles présentent une certaine complexité due notamment à la présence de plusieurs éléments constitutifs qui conduisent à des coûts de revient et des coûts de mise en place relativement élevés.However, and first of all, such curbs do not solve the drawback inherent in the soiling line at the water line. In addition, they present a certain complexity due in particular to the presence of several constituent elements which lead to relatively high production and installation costs.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients et a pour objectif principal de fournir un dispositif de protection comportant des margelles de conception très simple, adapté pour protéger des agressions la surface émergée du liner de piscine, et pour supprimer la nécessité de nettoyage de la ligne d'eau.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and has the main objective of providing a protection device comprising curbs of very simple design, adapted to protect against attacks the surface emerged of the pool liner, and to eliminate the need for cleaning the line of water.

A cet effet, l'invention vise un dispositif de protection contre les salissures et les rayons ultra-violets de la surface d'un liner de piscine se trouvant au-dessus de la ligne d'eau, comprenant :

  • des margelles réalisées d'un seul tenant en un matériau rigide, lesdites margelles présentant une section en forme de L inversé de façon à posséder une aile horizontale apte à reposer sur le bord supérieur de la paroi verticale de la piscine, et une aile verticale apte à s'étendre le long de la zone supérieure de ladite paroi verticale,
  • des moyens de contrôle du niveau d'eau à l'intérieur de la piscine aptes à maintenir la ligne d'eau à une hauteur adaptée pour qu'elle affleure sensiblement la sous-face de l'aile verticale des margelles.
To this end, the invention relates to a device for protecting against dirt and ultra-violet rays from the surface of a swimming pool liner located above the water line, comprising:
  • coping made in one piece from a rigid material, said coping having an inverted L-shaped section so as to have a horizontal wing capable of resting on the upper edge of the vertical wall of the swimming pool, and a vertical wing suitable to extend along the upper zone of said vertical wall,
  • means for controlling the water level inside the swimming pool capable of maintaining the water line at a height suitable for it to be substantially flush with the underside of the vertical edge of the copings.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend donc, en premier lieu, des margelles de conception très simple car d'un seul tenant, pouvant être réalisées facilement par tout moyen connu tel que par moulage, et dont la pose ne diffère pas de celles des margelles classiques actuelles.The device according to the invention therefore comprises, firstly, copings of very simple design because in one piece, which can be easily produced by any known means such as by molding, and the installation of which does not differ from those of the copings current classics.

De plus, l'aile verticale de ces margelles constitue un écran de protection de la partie normalement exposée du liner, tandis que la sous face de cette aile verticale constitue, du fait du contrôle adéquat du niveau d'eau à l'intérieur du bassin, un "cache" masquant à l'oeil la trace de la ligne d'eau, sur le liner.In addition, the vertical wing of these copings constitutes a protective screen for the normally exposed part of the liner, while the underside of this vertical wing constitutes, due to the adequate control of the water level inside the basin. , a "mask" hiding from the eye the trace of the water line, on the liner.

De ce fait, le liner n'est plus exposé aux agressions climatiques et notamment aux ultra-violets, et la trace de la ligne d'eau n'est plus visible aux yeux des utilisateurs et n'a donc plus à être nettoyée de façon spécifique.As a result, the liner is no longer exposed to climatic aggressions and in particular to ultraviolet rays, and the trace of the water line is no longer visible to the eyes of the users and therefore no longer has to be cleaned so specific.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'aile verticale des margelles présente une sous-face plane orthogonale aux parois frontales desdites margelles.According to an advantageous embodiment, the vertical wing of the coping has a flat underside orthogonal to the front walls of said coping.

Une telle surface plane définit une zone d'ombre portée sur le liner, qui permet de masquer aux yeux une bande de liner en sous-face de l'aile verticale de la margelle, qui autorise une tolérance dans le contrôle du niveau d'eau, fonction de l'épaisseur de cette aile verticale.Such a flat surface defines a zone of shadow cast on the liner, which makes it possible to hide from the eyes a strip of liner on the underside of the vertical wing of the coping, which allows tolerance in controlling the water level. , function of the thickness of this vertical wing.

De plus, cette sous-face étant plane et horizontale, elle n'est donc pas susceptible de provoquer une accumulation de saletés au niveau de la ligne d'eau.In addition, this underside being flat and horizontal, it is therefore not likely to cause an accumulation of dirt at the water line.

Selon une première application avantageuse, l'invention vise un dispositif de protection pour des piscines dotées de bouches d'aspiration équipées de "skimmer" et communiquant avec un bac-tampon doté d'un conduit d'aspiration de l'eau en vue de son traitement. Dans ce cas, et de façon avantageuse, les moyens de contrôle sont adaptés pour maintenir constant le niveau d'eau dans lesdits bacs-tampons.According to a first advantageous application, the invention relates to a protection device for swimming pools provided with suction outlets equipped with a "skimmer" and communicating with a buffer tank provided with a water suction duct for the purpose of his treatment. In this case, and advantageously, the control means are adapted to keep the water level in said buffer tanks constant.

A cet effet, ces moyens de contrôle comprennent, en outre, avantageusement un bac annexe relié hydrauliquement à un bac-tampon selon le principe des vases communicants, et incorporant une vanne à flotteur de régulation du niveau d'eau, et un trop plein débouchant dans le bac-tampon sensiblement au-dessus du niveau de la ligne d'eau déterminé par la vanne à flotteur.To this end, these control means advantageously comprise an annex tank hydraulically connected to a buffer tank according to the principle of communicating vessels, and incorporating a float valve for regulating the water level, and an overflow opening in the buffer tank substantially above the level of the water line determined by the float valve.

Selon ce principe, la vanne à flotteur permet de maintenir à une hauteur prédéterminée le niveau d'eau dans la piscine, en commandant un apport de volume d'eau adéquat lorsque ce niveau baisse. Le trop-plein, préférentiellement relié à l'égout permet quant à lui d'éviter une hausse de ce niveau d'eau résultant par exemple d'intempéries telles qu'orages, ...According to this principle, the float valve makes it possible to maintain the water level in the pool at a predetermined height, by controlling an adequate volume of water when this level drops. The overflow, preferably connected to the sewer, makes it possible to avoid an increase in this water level resulting for example from bad weather such as thunderstorms, ...

Selon une seconde application avantageuse, l'invention vise un dispositif pour piscine à débordement comportant une portion de paroi verticale, dite de débordement, dépourvue de margelles et arasée à une hauteur apte à permettre l'écoulement par surverse de l'eau du bassin,. Dans ce cas, et de façon avantageuse, chaque margelle présente une aile verticale de hauteur adaptée pour sensiblement affleurer la ligne d'eau dont le niveau est déterminé par l'arase de la portion de paroi de débordement.According to a second advantageous application, the invention relates to a device for an overflow swimming pool comprising a portion of a vertical wall, known as an overflow, devoid of copings and leveled to a height capable of allowing the flow of water from the basin by overflow, . In this case, and advantageously, each coping has a vertical wing of height suitable for substantially flush with the water line, the level of which is determined by the leveling of the overflow wall portion.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, le maintien du niveau est automatiquement déterminé par la hauteur de l'arase de la portion de paroi de débordement, la seule imposition consistant à réaliser des margelles dont la hauteur de l'aile verticale soit adaptée pour que sa sous-face soit sensiblement au-dessus du niveau de cette arase.According to this embodiment, the maintenance of the level is automatically determined by the height of the leveling of the overflow wall portion, the only imposition consisting in making copings whose height of the vertical wing is adapted so that its under -face is substantially above the level of this leveling.

Par ailleurs, les margelles sont avantageusement réalisées en un matériau à base de mortier, dans lequel on incorpore, en outre, de façon avantageuse, du latex ayant une fonction de plastifiant, ainsi qu'un produit hydrofuge.Furthermore, the copings are advantageously made of a mortar-based material, in which is advantageously incorporated latex having a plasticizing function, as well as a water-repellent product.

En outre, ce matériau à base de mortier peut avantageusement être réalisé au moyen de ciment blanc et de deux sables de couleurs différentes.In addition, this mortar-based material can advantageously be produced using white cement and two sands of different colors.

L'invention s'étend également, en tant que moyen essentiel pour la réalisation de dispositifs de protection selon l'invention, à une margelle réalisée d'un seul tenant et présentant une section en forme de L inversé de façon à posséder une aile horizontale apte à reposer sur le bord supérieur de la paroi verticale de la piscine, et une aile verticale apte à s'étendre le long de la zone supérieure de ladite paroi verticale.The invention also extends, as an essential means for the production of protection devices according to the invention, to a coping made in one piece and having an inverted L-shaped section so as to have a horizontal wing able to rest on the upper edge of the vertical wall of the swimming pool, and a vertical wing able to extend along the upper zone of said vertical wall.

De plus, de façon avantageuse, l'aile verticale de cette margelle présente une sous-face plane orthogonale aux parois frontales de ladite aile verticale.In addition, advantageously, the vertical wing of this coping has a flat underside orthogonal to the front walls of said vertical wing.

D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description détaillée qui suit en référence aux dessins annexés qui en représentent à titre d'exemples non limitatifs deux modes de réalisation préférentiels.Other characteristics, objects and advantages of the invention will emerge from the detailed description which follows, with reference to the appended drawings which show, by way of non-limiting examples, two preferred embodiments.

  • FIG. 3 is a vertical section through a plane B of this wall, and
  • Figure 4 is a schematic vertical section of an overflow basin equipped with a protection device according to the invention.

Les dispositifs de protection conformes à l'invention représentés aux figures sont adaptés pour former un écran protecteur de la partie émergée du liner d'une piscine et pour masquer aux yeux la ligne d'eau au niveau dudit liner.The protective devices according to the invention shown in the figures are adapted to form a protective screen for the protruding part of the liner of a swimming pool and to mask the water line at the level of said liner.

Ces dispositifs de protection comprennent en premier lieu, des margelles 1, 2 (figures 1 à 3) et 3 (figure 4) réalisées d'un seul tenant, par exemple par moulage, au moyen d'un matériau à base de mortier réalisé à partir de ciment blanc, de deux sables de couleurs différentes, et dans lequel sont incorporés du latex formant un agent plastifiant, et un produit hydrofuge de masse, introduits tous deux dans l'eau sous forme liquide.These protective devices comprise, in the first place, copings 1, 2 (FIGS. 1 to 3) and 3 (FIG. 4) produced in one piece, for example by molding, using a mortar-based material produced at from white cement, from two sands of different colors, and in which are incorporated latex forming a plasticizing agent, and a water-repellent mass product, both introduced into water in liquid form.

A titre d'exemple la composition de ce mortier peut être la suivante, pour environ 50 l de mortier :

  • eau :   10 l
  • sables :   30 l
  • ciment blanc :   10 l
  • latex liquide :   0,25 l
  • hydrofuge liquide :   0,25 l
By way of example, the composition of this mortar can be as follows, for approximately 50 l of mortar:
  • water: 10 l
  • sands: 30 l
  • white cement: 10 l
  • liquid latex: 0.25 l
  • liquid water repellent: 0.25 l

Chacune de ces margelles 1, 2, 3, présente la forme d'un L inversé de façon à posséder deux ailes d'épaisseur constantes et identiques : une aile horizontale 4 adaptée pour être scellée de façon classique sur le bord supérieur des parois verticales du bassin, et une aile verticale 5 apte à s'étendre le long de la zone supérieure de cette paroi verticale, de façon à former un écran devant la portion émergée du liner.Each of these copings 1, 2, 3 has the shape of an inverted L so as to have two wings of constant and identical thickness: a horizontal wing 4 adapted to be sealed in a conventional manner on the upper edge of the vertical walls of the pelvis, and a vertical wing 5 able to extend along the upper zone of this vertical wall, so as to form a screen in front of the emerged portion of the liner.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte, en outre, des moyens adaptés pour que le niveau d'eau à l'intérieur de la piscine soit maintenu à une hauteur adaptée pour que la ligne d'eau affleure sensiblement la sous-face 6 plane et horizontale des margelles.The device according to the invention further comprises means adapted so that the water level inside the swimming pool is maintained at a height suitable for the water line to be substantially flush with the flat underside 6 and horizontal coping.

Le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 3, vise une piscine de type classique comportant des bouches d'aspiration 7 équipées d'un "skimmer" 8 et communiquant avec un bac tampon 9 accessible au moyen d'un couvercle amovible 10 et dans le fond duquel est raccordée une conduite 11 d'aspiration vers des moyens de traitement d'eau.The embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 is for a swimming pool of the conventional type comprising suction outlets 7 equipped a "skimmer" 8 and communicating with a buffer tank 9 accessible by means of a removable cover 10 and in the bottom of which is connected a suction pipe 11 to water treatment means.

Pour ce type de piscine, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte un bac annexe 12 accessible au moyen d'un couvercle amovible 13, et dans lequel est intégrée une vanne à flotteur 14, ledit bac annexe étant relié hydrauliquement au bac tampon 9 par une canalisation 15 agencée pour que lesdits bacs communiquent selon le principe des vases communicants.For this type of swimming pool, the device according to the invention comprises an annex tank 12 accessible by means of a removable cover 13, and in which a float valve 14 is integrated, said annex tank being hydraulically connected to the buffer tank 9 by a pipe 15 arranged so that said tanks communicate according to the principle of communicating vessels.

De plus, un tuyau 20 de trop-plein relié par exemple à l'égout, débouche dans le bac-tampon 9, sensiblement au-dessus du niveau d'eau déterminé par la vanne à flotteur 14.In addition, an overflow pipe 20 connected for example to the sewer, opens into the buffer tank 9, substantially above the water level determined by the float valve 14.

Selon ce principe, la vanne à flotteur 14 est positionnée à une hauteur réglable adaptée pour que le niveau d'eau dans la piscine soit situé à une hauteur inférieure de quelques millimètres à la sous-face 6 des margelles 1, et en vue de maintenir de façon constante ce niveau d'eau, cette vanne à flotteur 14 est reliée aux moyens d'alimentation en eau de la piscine. Le trop-plein 20 permet, quant à lui, d'absorber et d'éviter d'éventuelles élévations de niveau, résultant d'un orage, ...According to this principle, the float valve 14 is positioned at an adjustable height adapted so that the water level in the pool is located at a height a few millimeters lower than the underside 6 of the copings 1, and in order to maintain this level of water is constant, this float valve 14 is connected to the means for supplying water to the swimming pool. The overflow 20 allows, for its part, to absorb and avoid possible elevations of level, resulting from a storm, ...

A titre d'exemple, les margelles courantes 1 utilisées pour ce type de piscine présentent une épaisseur de 3,5 cm, une aile horizontale 4 d'une longueur de 34 cm, et une aile verticale 5 d'une longueur de 13 cm. La vanne à flotteur 14 est donc positionnée de façon que le niveau d'eau s'étende à une distance de l'ordre de 11 à 12 cm de l'arase de la paroi verticale de la piscine.By way of example, the common copings 1 used for this type of swimming pool have a thickness of 3.5 cm, a horizontal wing 4 with a length of 34 cm, and a vertical wing 5 with a length of 13 cm. The float valve 14 is therefore positioned so that the water level extends at a distance of the order of 11 to 12 cm from the level of the vertical wall of the pool.

A noter, en outre, que pour ce type de piscine, et tel que représenté aux figures 1 et 3, les margelles 2 situées à l'aplomb des bouches d'aspiration 7 comportant une découpe adéquate pour libérer l'emprise de ces bouches d'aspiration 7.Note, moreover, that for this type of swimming pool, and as represented in FIGS. 1 and 3, the copings 2 located directly above the suction outlets 7 comprising an adequate cutout to release the grip of these outlets d suction 7.

Le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 4 vise une piscine du type à débordement comportant au moins une portion de paroi verticale de débordement 16 dépourvue de margelles 3 et arasée à une hauteur adaptée pour permettre l'écoulement par surverse de l'eau de la piscine.The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is aimed at an overflow type swimming pool comprising at least a portion of vertical overflow wall 16 devoid of coping 3 and leveled to a height adapted to allow the overflow of water from the swimming pool.

Selon ce principe, le niveau d'eau de la piscine est donc déterminé par la hauteur de la portion de paroi verticale de débordement 16, et les margelles 3 présentent une aile verticale de longueur adaptée pour que leur sous-face 6 s'étende quelques millimètres au-dessus de la ligne d'eau.According to this principle, the water level of the swimming pool is therefore determined by the height of the vertical overflow wall portion 16, and the copings 3 have a vertical wing of length adapted so that their underside 6 extends a few millimeters above the water line.

A titre d'exemple, et pour des piscines à débordement classiques, les margelles 3 présentent une épaisseur de 3,5 cm, une aile horizontale d'une longueur de 34 cm, et une aile verticale d'une longueur de 7,5 cm.By way of example, and for conventional overflow pools, the copings 3 have a thickness of 3.5 cm, a horizontal wing with a length of 34 cm, and a vertical wing with a length of 7.5 cm. .
