Abstract

A low shelter swimming pool roof system is provided. The system can include, over a portion (P') at least of its length, juxtaposed roof elements (I') and juxtaposed roof elements (I). The distance that delimits the external chord of each of the longitudinal edges ( 220 a') and ( 220 b') of the roof elements (I') resting on the support edge (S) of the pool and connected by two roof arcs ( 210 ') can be shorter than the distance which delimits the internal chord of the two longitudinal edges ( 220 a) and ( 220 b) the roof elements (I) of the other portion (P) resting on the support edge (S) of the pool and connected by two roof bows ( 210 ). Such an arrangement enables the first portion (P') of roof elements (I') to be nested in the second portion (P) of relatively larger roof elements (I) thereby partially exposing the pool over a length corresponding to the displacement of the mobile portion (P') of roof elements (I').

Description

DOMAINE D'APPLICATION DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention a trait au domaine des toitures de piscine pour abris bas et notamment aux adaptations permettant de faciliter l'ouverture des éléments constituant la toiture.The present invention relates to the field of pool roofing for low shelters and including adaptations to facilitate the opening of the elements constituting the roof.

DESCRIPTION DE L'ART ANTERIEURDESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Il existe dans l'art antérieur plusieurs types de toitures de piscines, mais l'invention concerne plus particulièrement les toitures qui, plus communément appelées "abris bas", (voir par exemple le FR-A-2 776 000) se composent d'éléments de toiture disposés juxtaposés sur la longueur de la piscine et réalisant chacun un mouvement de rotation sur l'un de leurs bords longitudinaux pour s'entrouvrir et donner ainsi l'accès à l'eau du bassin. Pour une meilleure compréhension de l'invention, il est utile de préciser que les positions longitudinale, transversale et latérale des éléments de toiture et/ou de leurs parties constitutives sont considérées par rapport aux axes longitudinal, latéral et transversal du bassin. Lesdits éléments de toiture sont du type de ceux se composant chacun d'une couverture formée de panneaux en matériau translucide tel que du polycarbonate à double paroi et d'une armature rigide, légère et résistante pour supporter la couverture transparente, ladite armature étant formée d'arceaux disposés dans des plans transversaux et entretoisés par des traverses avec deux traverses extrêmes longitudinales délimitant deux bordures longitudinales à l'élément de toiture. Ces deux bordures longitudinales reposent sur les rebords du bassin définissant une surface d'appui auxdits éléments de toiture. Les rebords d'appui de ces éléments sont classiquement constitués par les rebords longitudinaux du bassin.There are several types of pool roofs in the prior art, but the invention relates more particularly to roofs which, more commonly known as "low shelters", (see for example FR-A-2 776 000) consist of roof elements disposed juxtaposed along the length of the pool and each rotating on one of their longitudinal edges to open and thus give access to the pool water. For a better understanding of the invention, it is useful to specify that the longitudinal, transverse and lateral positions of the roof elements and / or their constituent parts are considered with respect to the longitudinal, lateral and transverse axes of the basin. Said roof elements are of the type each comprising a cover formed of panels of translucent material such as double-walled polycarbonate and a rigid frame, light and resistant to support the transparent cover, said frame being formed of hoops arranged in transverse planes and braced by crosspieces with two longitudinal end cross members defining two longitudinal edges to the roof element. These two longitudinal edges rest on the edges of the pelvis defining a bearing surface to said roof elements. The support edges of these elements are conventionally constituted by the longitudinal edges of the basin.

Pour découvrir partiellement cette piscine et en profiter en plein air, notamment en demi-saison dès que le climat ou la température l'autorise, les éléments de toiture de cette couverture de piscine sont montés entrouvrables individuellement afin de moduler l'ouverture du bassin vers l'extérieur. A cet effet, au moins une des bordures longitudinales de l'armature des éléments de toiture est montée articulée autour d'une patte de fixation ancrée dans les rebords d'appui du bassin dans un plan d'expansion angulaire transversal, et l'autre bordure est destinée à recevoir deux béquilles dont les têtes pénètrent dans chaque extrémité de la bordure et les pieds viennent prendre appui sur les rebords d'appui du bassin à des fins de calage desdites béquilles entre les rebords du bassin et ledit élément, de toiture qui se trouve ainsi maintenu incliné par rapport au sol, dans la position entrouverte recherchée. Ce dispositif de maintien d'un élément de toiture pour abris bas en position entrouverte a des contraintes en ce que :

  • il limite le découvrement de la piscine à ladite position entrouverte,
  • il nécessite, pour sa manutention, l'utilisation de deux béquilles comme bras de levier pour chacun des éléments de toiture,
  • il impose souvent l'intervention de deux personnes pour soulever chaque élément de toiture,
  • il offre auxdits éléments entrouverts une prise au vent importante qui a tendance à les déstabiliser,
  • il est relativement long à installer pour plusieurs éléments,
  • etc...
To partially discover this pool and enjoy it outdoors, especially in mid-season as soon as the climate or temperature permitting, the roof elements of this pool cover are mounted individually openable to modulate the opening of the pool to the outside. For this purpose, at least one of the longitudinal edges of the reinforcement of the roof elements is mounted hinged around a fixing lug anchored in the bearing flanges of the basin in a transverse plane of transverse expansion, and the other curb is intended to receive two crutches whose heads penetrate into each end of the edge and the feet are supported on the support edges of the basin for the purpose of wedging said crutches between the edges of the basin and said element, roofing which is thus kept inclined relative to the ground, in the desired open position. This device for holding a roof element for low shelters in an open position has constraints in that:
  • it limits the uncovering of the pool to said open position,
  • it requires, for its handling, the use of two crutches as lever arm for each of the roof elements,
  • it often requires the intervention of two people to lift each roof element,
  • it offers the said open elements a significant wind catch which tends to destabilize them,
  • it is relatively long to install for several elements,
  • etc ...

De nombreuses améliorations ont été apportées ces dernières années pour alléger l'opération de soulèvement des éléments de toiture à l'aide d'une béquille coulissante dans la bordure et agissant comme levier en exerçant un effort ascendant appliqué au milieu de la bordure, ou encore à l'aide de divers systèmes de levage pour limiter la peine.Many improvements have been made in recent years to ease the lifting operation of the roof elements using a sliding kickstand in the rim and acting as a lever by exerting an ascending effort applied to the middle of the edge, or using various lifting systems to limit the trouble.

Malgré ces différentes innovations permettant d'améliorer sensiblement le passage des éléments de toiture d'une position fermée à une position entrouverte en évitant aux maximum les efforts à fournir par l'utilisateur lors de cette opération, la demanderesse a constaté que l'ouverture des éléments constituant la toiture de piscine restait une opération de manutention malaisée, bien que simplifiée du fait même du poids desdits éléments. Cette manutention devient même une véritable difficulté lorsque la piscine et donc les éléments de la toiture la recouvrant sont de grandes dimensions, ou qu'il est nécessaire d'en relever plusieurs.Despite these various innovations to substantially improve the passage of the roof elements from a closed position to an open position while avoiding the maximum efforts to be provided by the user during this operation, the applicant has found that the opening of elements constituting the pool roof remained a difficult handling operation, although simplified by the very fact of the weight of said elements. This handling becomes even a real difficulty when the pool and therefore the elements of the roof covering it are large, or it is necessary to raise several.

BREVE DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Partant de ce constat, la demanderesse a imaginé un nouveau concept de toiture de piscine conciliant les avantagés des abris bas à éléments de toiture articulés sur l'un de leurs bords longitudinaux avec ceux des abris hauts à éléments de toiture télescopiques, du type de ceux connus par exemple du FR-A-2 572 114.On the basis of this observation, the applicant has devised a new pool roof concept that reconciles the advantages of low shelters with articulated roof elements on one of their longitudinal edges with those of high shelters with telescopic roof elements, of the type of those known from FR-A-2,572,114, for example.

Selon l'invention, la toiture de piscine pour abris bas du type de celle où chaque élément la constituant se compose d'une couverture reposant sur une armature formée de deux arceaux transversaux et entretoisés par des traverses longitudinales avec deux bordures parallèles longitudinales dont une au moins est montée articulée par rapport au rebord du bassin de la piscine pour faire passer ledit élément d'une position fermée à une position entrouverte, est remarquable en ce que la susdite toiture est constituée, sur une portion au moins de sa longueur, d'éléments de toiture juxtaposés dont la distance que délimite la corde extérieure des deux bordures longitudinales reposant sur le rebord d'appui du bassin et que relient les deux arceaux est inférieure à la distance que délimite la corde intérieure des deux bordures longitudinales reposant sur le rebord d'appui du bassin et que relient les deux arceaux des éléments juxtaposés de l'autre portion de la toiture pour autoriser l'emboîtement de la première portion dite de petits éléments dans la deuxième portion dite de grands éléments et découvrir ainsi partiellement la piscine sur une longueur correspondant au déplacement de la portion mobile d'éléments.According to the invention, the pool roof for low shelters of the type of which each element constituting it consists of a cover resting on a frame formed of two transverse arches and braced by longitudinal crosspieces with two longitudinal parallel edges, one of which minus is hinged relative to the rim of the pool of the pool to pass said element from a closed position to an open position, is remarkable in that the above roof is constituted, over a portion at least of its length, of juxtaposed roof elements whose distance delimited by the outer rope of the two longitudinal edges resting on the support flange of the pelvis and which connect the two arches is less than the distance that delimits the inner rope of the two longitudinal edges resting on the rim d support of the basin and that connect the two arches of the juxtaposed elements of the other portion of the roof to r allow nesting of the first portion called small elements in the second portion called large elements and thus partially discover the pool over a length corresponding to the displacement of the movable portion of elements.

Ce nouveau concept de toiture de piscine pour abris bas offre un grand intérêt en donnant la double possibilité de découvrir le bassin de la piscine soit d'un côté ou de l'autre du plan longitudinal du bassin par basculement des éléments de toiture et. d'un côté ou de l'autre du plan transversal de la piscine par déplacement d'une portion d'éléments dans l'autre portion. En outre, le fait d'associer l'un derrière l'autre plusieurs éléments de toiture dans une portion mobile, permet de n'avoir un emboîtement que sur deux largeurs limitant ainsi l'encombrement sur la surface d'appui et donnant même la possibilité de faire reposer l'ensemble dé la toiture sur la margelle.This new concept of pool roofing for low shelters offers a great interest in giving the double possibility of discovering the pool basin either on one side or the other of the longitudinal plane of the pool by tilting roof elements and. on one side or the other of the transverse plane of the pool by moving a portion of elements in the other portion. In addition, the fact of associating several roof elements in a moving portion one behind the other makes it possible to have an interlocking only over two widths, thus limiting the space requirement on the support surface and even giving the possibility to rest the entire roof on the edge.

La demanderesse a imaginé plusieurs variantes de ce concept énoncé ci-dessus dans son expression la plus élémentaire.The Applicant has devised several variants of this concept stated above in its most basic expression.

Ainsi, selon une première variante à deux possibilités, soit la portion des petits éléments de toiture est montée mobile le long et/ou en dehors de la piscine et est déplacée au-dessous de la portion de grands éléments de toiture pour être recouverte partiellement ou en totalité par cette dernière, soit l'inverse et c'est la portion de grands éléments de toiture qui est montée mobile le long et/ou en dehors de la piscine et qui est déplacée au-dessus de la portion de petits éléments de toiture qu'elle recouvre partiellement ou en totalité.Thus, according to a first variant with two possibilities, the portion of the small roof elements is mounted movably along and / or outside the pool and is moved below the portion of large roof elements to be partially covered or entirely by the latter, the opposite and it is the portion of large roof elements that is mounted movably along and / or outside the pool and is moved over the portion of small roof elements that it overlaps partially or in full.

Selon une autre variante à deux possibilités, lorsque la toiture comporte une seule portion mobile d'éléments de toiture, elle sera préférentiellement située à une extrémité de la piscine et, lorsque la toiture comporte deux portions mobiles d'éléments, celles-ci seront préférentiellement situées aux deux extrémités de la piscine. Dans la première configuration, c'est la portion mobile d'éléments qui est déplacée d'une extrémité de la piscine qu'elle découvre progressivement vers l'autre extrémité qui reste fermée et où se trouve l'autre portion fixe d'éléments alors que dans la deuxième configuration, ce sont les deux portions mobiles d'éléments qui sont déplacées l'une vers l'autre en découvrant progressivement les deux extrémités de la piscine, et vers le milieu de celle-ci qui reste fermée et où se trouve la portion centrale d'éléments fixes.According to another variant with two possibilities, when the roof comprises a single movable portion of roof elements, it will preferably be located at one end of the pool and, when the roof comprises two movable portions of elements, these will preferably be located at both ends of the pool. In the first configuration, it is the movable portion of elements that is moved from one end of the pool that it gradually discovers to the other end which remains closed and where is the other fixed portion of elements then that in the second configuration, it is the two movable portions of elements that are moved towards one another by gradually discovering the two ends of the pool, and towards the middle of it which remains closed and where is located the central portion of fixed elements.

Bien que les concepts fondamentaux, de l'invention aient été décrits ci-dessus, d'autres détails et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit donnant à titre d'exemple non limitatif et en regard des dessins annexés, un mode de réalisation d'une toiture de piscine conforme à l'invention.Although the fundamental concepts of the invention have been described above, other details and characteristics of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the following description given by way of non-limiting example and with reference to attached drawings, an embodiment of a swimming pool roof according to the invention.

DESCRIPTION APPUYÉE SUR LES DESSINSDESCRIPTION SUPPORTED ON THE DRAWINGS

Le dessin de la figure 1 illustre une toiture de piscine de l'art antérieur plus communément appelée abri bas et représentée en position fermée. Cette toiture, référencée , T dans son ensemble, est classiquement constituée par une série d'éléments de toiture I du type de ceux se composant chacun d'une couverture formée de panneaux en matériau translucide 100 tel que du polycarbonate à double paroi et d'une armature rigide 200 légère et résistante en forme d'arceaux 210 disposés dans des plans transversaux et entretoisés par des traverses 220 pour supporter ladite couverture. Les deux traverses extrêmes 220 de l'armature délimitent deux bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b aux éléments de toiture I qui sont retenues sur les rebords longitudinaux du bassin définissant une surface d'appui, au moyen de pattes de fixation référencées respectivement 300a et 300b venant s'ancrer de manière amovible dans lesdits rebords S ou dans les margelles coiffant lesdits rebords.The drawing of Figure 1 illustrates a swimming pool roof of the prior art more commonly called low shelter and shown in closed position. This roof, referenced, T as a whole, is conventionally constituted by a series of roof elements I of the type of those each consisting of a cover formed of translucent material panels 100 such as double-walled polycarbonate and a rigid frame 200 light and resistant in the form of hoops 210 arranged in transverse planes and braced by cross members 220 to support said cover. The two end rails 220 of the frame delimit two longitudinal edges 220a and 220b to the roof elements I which are retained on the longitudinal edges of the basin defining a bearing surface, by means of brackets. fixing respectively 300a and 300b releasably anchor in said flanges S or in the capping margins said flanges.

Comme on peut le voir sur le dessin de la figure 2, l'un (central) des éléments de toiture I est représenté en position entrouverte permettant ainsi de découvrir partiellement le bassin de la piscine. A cet effet, l'une (220a) des deux bordures longitudinales de l'armature de cet élément de toiture est libérée de ses pattes de fixation 300a autorisant ainsi audit élément I, un mouvement de basculement sur sa deuxième bordure 220b autour des deux pattes de fixation 300b, selon une expansion angulaire (symbolisée par la flèche A) dans un plan transversal du bassin. L'élément I est maintenu dans cette position entrouverte au moyen de deux entretoises formées par des béquilles 400 dont les têtes 410 pénètrent dans chaque extrémité de la bordure 220a et dont les pieds 420 viennent prendre appui sur les rebords S du bassin dans lesquels ils viennent s'ancrer aux lieu et place des pattes de fixation 300a venant d'être libérées.As can be seen in the drawing of Figure 2, one (central) of the roof elements I is shown in the open position thus partially discovering the basin of the pool. For this purpose, one (220a) of the two longitudinal edges of the frame of this roof element is released from its fixing lugs 300a thus allowing said element I, a tilting movement on its second edge 220b around the two legs 300b, according to an angular expansion (symbolized by the arrow A) in a transverse plane of the basin. The element I is maintained in this half-open position by means of two spacers formed by crutches 400 whose heads 410 penetrate into each end of the edge 220a and whose feet 420 come to bear on the edges S of the basin in which they come anchor instead of newly released brackets 300a.

Le dessin de la figure 3 montre une toiture de piscine référencée T' dans son ensemble et représentée selon le concept original de l'invention. A cet effet, elle est constituée, à une (à droite) des extrémités de la piscine, d'une portion P' de trois éléments de toiture juxtaposés I′ dont la distance que délimite la corde extérieure des deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' reposant sur le rebord d'appui S du bassin et que relient les deux arceaux 210' de chaque élément I' est inférieure à la distance que délimite la corde intérieure des deux bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b reposant sur le rebord d'appui S du bassin et que relient les deux arceaux 210 de chacun des trois éléments juxtaposés I de l'autre portion P de la toiture T' située à l'autre (à gauche) extrémité de la piscine et qui sont tous trois de conception classique comme pour la toiture T.The drawing of FIG. 3 shows a pool roof referenced T 'as a whole and represented according to the original concept of the invention. For this purpose, it is constituted, to one (right) of the ends of the pool, a portion P 'of three juxtaposed roof elements I' whose distance that defines the outer rope of the two longitudinal edges 220a 'and 220b 'resting on the support flange S of the basin and that connect the two hoops 210' of each element I 'is less than the distance delimited by the inner rope of the two longitudinal edges 220a and 220b resting on the support flange S of basin and that connect the two arches 210 of each of the three elements juxtaposed I of the other portion P of the roof T 'located at the other (left) end of the pool and all three of conventional design as for the roof T.

Avantageusement, les deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' des éléments de toiture I' de la portion P' reposent sur le rebord du bassin S via des moyens de déplacement (roulement) représentés sur le dessin de la figure 9 ou de la figure 10 permettant, une fois que les pattes de fixation 300a' et 300b' sont libérées de leur ancrage dans le susdit rebord d'appui S comme montrés sur le dessin de la figure 4, de déplacer la portion P' d'éléments I' (flèche D) vers la portion P d'éléments I, avec emboîtement des éléments I' à l'intérieur des éléments I. Cette évolution (flèche D) de la portion P' d'une position intermédiaire illustrée à la figure 4 à une position plus emboîtée illustrée à la figure 5, permet de découvrir progressivement le bassin de la piscine sur une extrémité de cette dernière. L'avantage du recouvrement de la portion P' par la portion P telles qu'elles sont montrées sur le dessin de la figure 5, est de disposer d'une piscine entièrement couverte à son extrémité gauche et entièrement découverte à son extrémité droite, dispositions que ne peuvent pas assurer les mouvements d'articulation (flèche A de la figure 2) des éléments I de la toiture T. Il est à noter que la portion mobile P' peut être déplacée le long du rebord d'appui S mais à l'extérieur du bassin de la piscine, comme le montre le dessin de la figure 6.Advantageously, the two longitudinal edges 220a 'and 220b' of the roof elements I 'of the portion P' rest on the rim of the basin S via displacement means (bearing) shown in the drawing of FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 allowing, once the fixing lugs 300a 'and 300b' are released from their anchoring in the aforesaid support flange S as shown in the drawing of FIG. 4, to move the portion P 'of elements I' (arrow D) to the portion P of elements I, with interlocking elements I 'inside the elements I. This evolution (arrow D) of the portion P' of an intermediate position illustrated in Figure 4 at a position more nested illustrated in Figure 5, can gradually discover the pool on one end of the pool. The advantage of the recovery of the portion P 'by the portion P as shown in the drawing of FIG. 5 is to have an entirely covered pool at its left end and entirely uncovered at its right end. that can not ensure the hinge movements (arrow A of Figure 2) of the elements I of the roof T. It should be noted that the movable portion P 'can be moved along the support flange S but at l outside of the pool basin, as shown in the drawing of Figure 6.

Comme on peut le voir sur le dessin de la figure 3, la liaison étanche entre les deux portions P et P' de la toiture T' en position fermée est assurée par un emboîtement mutuel partiel des deux éléments de toiture mitoyens I et I' avec chevauchement des arceaux extrêmes 210 et 210' de chacun des deux éléments emboîtés. En installant de manière connue un joint du type à balai dans la face interne de l'arceau extrême 210 de l'élément de toiture I de la portion P pour que celui-ci reste en contact permanent avec l'arceau extrême sous-jacent 210' et/ou avec les panneaux 100' de la couverture de la portion mobile P', la liaison étanche de la couverture de la toiture T' est garantie entre les deux portions P et P' quelle que soit la position de cette dernière, sortie (cf. figure 3), emboîtée partiellement (cf. figure 4) ou emboîtée totalement (cf. figure 5).As can be seen in the drawing of FIG. 3, the tight connection between the two portions P and P 'of the roof T' in the closed position is ensured by a partial interlocking of the two adjacent roof elements I and I 'with overlapping the end hoops 210 and 210 'of each of the two nested elements. By installing in a known manner a broom-type seal in the inner face of the end hoop 210 of the roof element I of the portion P so that the latter remains in permanent contact with the underlying extreme hoop 210 'and / or with the panels 100' of the cover of the mobile portion P ', the sealed connection of the roof covering T' is guaranteed between the two portions P and P 'whatever the position of the latter, outlet (see FIG. 3), partially fitted (see FIG. ) or fully nested (see Figure 5).

Les éléments I' de la portion mobile P' comportent entre eux des moyens de liaison qui sont dissociables d'une part, pour autoriser leur libre articulation (flèche A de la figure 7) par rapport au rebord d'appui S du bassin et indissociables d'autre part, pour pousser dans le sens de la flèche D mais surtout pour ramener dans le sens inverse de celui flèche D, l'ensemble des éléments I' arrimés l'un à l'autre de sorte qu'il suffit de pousser et/ou de tirer la portion P' à n'importe quel point d'ancrage pour déplacer l'ensemble des éléments I'. Ainsi, lorsque les moyens de liaison sont dissociés comme montrés sur le dessin de la figure 7, les éléments 1 et I' de la toiture T' peuvent offrir les avantages classiques de l'abri bas de la toiture T en autorisant la position entrouverte par l'articulation A desdits éléments I et I' sur le rebord d'appui S du bassin et lorsque les moyens, de liaisons sont indissociés comme montrés sur le dessin de la figure 4, les éléments I' de la portion P' autorisent la position découverte par le déplacement desdits éléments I' arrimés l'un à l'autre, le long (figures 4 et 5) et/ou en dehors (figure 6) du rebord du bassin.The elements I 'of the movable portion P' have between them connecting means which are separable on the one hand, to allow their free articulation (arrow A of Figure 7) relative to the support flange S of the basin and indissociable on the other hand, to push in the direction of the arrow D but especially to return in the opposite direction of the arrow D, all the elements I 'stowed together so that it is sufficient to push and / or pull the portion P 'at any anchor point to move all the elements I'. Thus, when the connection means are dissociated as shown in the drawing of Figure 7, the elements 1 and I 'of the roof T' can offer the conventional advantages of the low roof of the roof T by allowing the position ajar by the articulation A of said elements I and I 'on the support flange S of the basin and when the connecting means are indissociated as shown in the drawing of Figure 4, the elements I' of the portion P 'allow the position discovered by moving said elements I 'stowed together, along (Figures 4 and 5) and / or outside (Figure 6) of the rim of the basin.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, les susdits moyens de liaison sont constitués par les ailes des arceaux 210' qui, disposées débordantes dans le prolongement des panneaux 100' de la couverture en matériau translucide pour assurer le recouvrement étanche partiel des éléments juxtaposés I' de la toiture T' en position fermée, sont aménagées d'un dispositif amovible de solidarisation avec l'arceau 210' de l'élément I' contigu. Ce dispositif amovible de solidarisation non représenté pourra être adapté par l'homme de métier par exemple avec un assemblage mâle-femelle.préformée respectivement dans les faces en contact des ailes et des arceaux 210.According to a first preferred embodiment of the invention, the aforesaid connecting means are constituted by the wings of the hoops 210 'which, arranged protruding in the extension of the panels 100' of the cover in translucent material to ensure the partial waterproof covering of the elements juxtaposed I 'of the roof T' in the closed position, are provided with a removable device for securing with the arch 210 'of the element I' contiguous. This removable securing device not shown can be adapted by the skilled person for example with a male-female assembly.preformed respectively in the contacting faces of the wings and hoops 210.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, illustré plus en détails sur les dessins des figures 8a et 8b, chacun des susdits moyens de liaisons de deux arceaux contigus référencés 210r' pour l'élément de toiture recouvert et 210c' pour l'élément de toiture couvrant (comportant les ailes débordantes) de la portion mobile P' est constitué par un profil en U 211' qui, destiné à épouser les profils inférieurs rectangulaires 212r' et 212c' desdits deux arceaux contigus, est solidarisé au profil rectangulaire 212r' de l'arceau 210r' de l'élément recouvert de sorte que le profil rectangulaire 212c' de l'arceau 210c' de l'élément couvrant puisse se loger et se caler dans le profil en U 211' (cf. figure 8a) lors du mouvement d'abaissement de l'élément couvrant en position fermée et inversement se dégager dudit profil en U 211' (cf. figure 8b) lors du mouvement d'élévation du même élément vers une position entrouverte. De préférence, la partie supérieure dé la branche du susdit profil en U 211' non solidaire de l'arceau 210r' de l'élément recouvert est évasée pour faciliter l'engagement avec jeu du profil inférieur rectangulaire 212c' de l'arceau 210c' de l'élément couvrant lors de son mouvement d'abaissement en position fermée.According to a second preferred embodiment of the invention, illustrated in greater detail in the drawings of FIGS. 8a and 8b, each of the aforesaid connecting means of two adjacent arcs referenced 210r 'for the covered roof element and 210c' for the covering roofing element (comprising the projecting flanges) of the movable portion P 'is constituted by a U-shaped section 211' which, intended to fit the rectangular lower profiles 212r 'and 212c' of said two adjacent arches, is secured to the rectangular profile 212r 'of the arch 210r' of the coated element so that the rectangular profile 212c 'of the arch 210c' of the covering element can be housed and wedged in the U-shaped profile 211 '(see FIG. ) during the lowering movement of the covering element in the closed position and vice versa to emerge from said U-profile 211 '(see Figure 8b) during the lifting movement of the same element to an open position. Preferably, the upper part of the branch of the aforesaid U-shaped section 211 'not integral with the arch 210r' of the covered element is flared to facilitate engagement with clearance of the rectangular lower profile 212c 'of the arch 210c' of the covering element during its lowering movement in the closed position.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, les arceaux 210 des éléments de toiture I de la portion fixe P ont le même rayon de courbure que les arceaux 210′ des éléments de toiture I′ de la portion mobile P'. Ainsi, avec les mêmes arceaux voire les mêmes éléments I, il est possible de réaliser soit des éléments fixes I soit des éléments mobiles I'. Afin de respecter le concept de l'invention qui consiste, au niveau de leur portance sur le rebord d'appui S, à différencier la distance que délimite la corde extérieure des deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' des éléments juxtaposés I' de la portion mobile P', de la distance que délimite la corde intérieure des deux bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b des éléments juxtaposés I de l'autre portion P, la demanderesse a imaginé de profiler les deux bordures longitudinales 220a, 220b et 220a', 220b' des éléments de toiture I et I' pour recevoir de manière amovible et/ou réglable, soit les pattes de fixation 300a desdits éléments I sur le rebord d'appui S, soit des moyens de déplacement 320a' desdits éléments I' le long dudit rebord.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the arches 210 of the roof elements I of the fixed portion P have the same radius of curvature as the arches 210 'of the roof elements I' of the movable portion P '. Thus, with the same hoops or the same elements I, it is possible to realize either fixed elements I or moving elements I '. In order to respect the concept of the invention which consists, in terms of their bearing on the support flange S, to differentiate the distance that delimits the outer rope of the two longitudinal edges 220a 'and 220b' juxtaposed elements I 'of the movable portion P', the distance delimited by the inner rope of the two longitudinal edges 220a and 220b juxtaposed elements I of the other portion P, the applicant has imagined profiling the two longitudinal edges 220a, 220b and 220a ', 220b' of the roof elements I and I 'to receive removably and / or adjustable manner, or the fixing lugs 300a of said elements I on the support flange S, displacement means 320a 'of said elements I' along said flange.

Comme on peut le voir sur le dessin de la figure 9 illustrant une première forme de réalisation de l'invention, la bordure longitudinale 220a de l'élément I a le même profil que celui de la bordure longitudinale 220a' de l'élément I' de sorte qu'en engageant dans la bordure 220a les moyens de fixation 310a qui seront associés aux pattes 300a, et dans la bordure 220a' les moyens de roulement 320a' qui assureront' le déplacement de l'élément I', il est possible, de par la configuration surélevée et déportée des moyens de fixation 310a, de surélever l'élément I par rapport à l'élément I' tout en augmentant la corde de la portance au sol de l'élément I afin qu'il n'y ait pas de frottement entre les deux éléments I et I' et une libre mobilité du deuxième (I') dans le premier (I).As can be seen in the drawing of Figure 9 illustrating a first embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal edge 220a of the element I has the same profile as that of the longitudinal edge 220a 'of the element I' so that by engaging in the edge 220a the fixing means 310a which will be associated with the tabs 300a, and in the border 220a 'the rolling means 320a' which will ensure the displacement of the element I ', it is possible, by the elevated and remote configuration of the fastening means 310a, raising the element I relative to the element I 'while increasing the rope of the lift to the ground of the element I so that there is no friction between the two elements I and I 'and free mobility of the second (I') in the first (I).

On notera que les bordures longitudinales 220a, 220b et 220a, 220b' sont préformées pour recevoir de manière réglable autour d'axes parallèles à l'axe longitudinal du bassin, les moyens de fixation 310a et les moyens de roulement 320a', de manière à d'adapter aux différents rayons de courbure des arceaux en fonction de la largeur des bassins. Ainsi, quelle que soit la courbure des arceaux, il sera possible d'utiliser les mêmes moyens de fixation 310a et de roulement 320a' qui seront alors positionnés convenablement en ajustant correctement l'angle d'inclinaison dans le profil des bordures longitudinales.It will be noted that the longitudinal edges 220a, 220b and 220a, 220b 'are preformed to adjustably receive about axes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the basin, the fixing means 310a and the rolling means 320a', so as to to adapt to the different radii of curvature of the arches according to the width of the basins. Thus, whatever the curvature of the hoops, it will be possible to use the same fastening means 310a and bearing 320a 'which will then be properly positioned by correctly adjusting the angle of inclination in the profile of the longitudinal edges.

Selon une deuxième forme de réalisation illustrée sur le dessin de la figure 10, la bordure longitudinale 220a (représentée en traits forts) de l'élément I de la portion P n'a pas le même profil que celui'de la bordure longitudinale 220a' de l'élément I' (représentée en traits fins) de la portion mobile P'. En effet, la traverse longitudinale 220a' de l'élément mobile est classiquement, aménagée à sa partie haute et vers le côté interne de la toiture d'une rainure inclinée en saillie 221a' pour pincer et retenir le bord du panneau 100' (représenté en traits mixtes) et à sa partie basse et vers le côté externe de la toiture d'un organe d'accouplement 222a' pour retenir, via des pattes de fixation 300a' (représentées en traits mixtes) ledit élément I' sur le rebord du bassin S. L'organe d'accouplement 222a' représenté est du type de celui ménagé dans le profilé de la traverse de la bordure 220a' selon une glissière à section circulaire ouverte vers l'extérieur d'une rainure longitudinale 222a" selon une largeur plus importante que celle de l'épaisseur des pattes de fixation 300a' pour autoriser une liaison pivot entre la bordure 220a' et les pattes de fixation 300a', et donc la libre articulation (flèche A de la figure 7) de l'élément de toiture I' y associé. Suivant l'invention, des organes de roulement dont un seul (320a') est représenté assurent le libre déplacement de la bordure 220a' le long du rebord S, et donc de l'ensemble de l'élément I' y associé.According to a second embodiment illustrated in the drawing of Figure 10, the longitudinal edge 220a (shown in strong lines) of the element I of the portion P does not have the same profile as that of the longitudinal edge 220a ' of the element I '(shown in fine lines) of the movable portion P'. Indeed, the longitudinal cross member 220a 'of the movable element is conventionally arranged at its upper part and towards the inner side of the roof of a projecting inclined groove 221a' for gripping and retaining the edge of the panel 100 '(shown in FIG. in phantom) and at its lower part and to the outer side of the roof of a coupling member 222a 'for retaining, via fastening tabs 300a' (shown in phantom) said element I 'on the rim of the basin S. The coupling member 222a 'shown is of the type formed in the profile of the cross member of the edge 220a' according to a circular section slide open towards the outside of a longitudinal groove 222a "according to a width greater than that of the thickness of the fixing lugs 300a 'to allow a pivot connection between the edge 220a' and the fixing lugs 300a ', and therefore the free articulation (arrow A of FIG. 7) of the element of roof I 'associated with it. According to the invention, rolling members of which only one (320a ') is shown ensure the free movement of the edge 220a' along the flange S, and therefore the entire element I 'associated therewith.

La traverse extrême 220a de la portion P est, quant à elle, préformée différemment de celle de la traverse classique 220a' en adoptant un profilé de préférence creux coudé à deux branches 220a1 et 220a2 selon un angle obtus permettant d'assurer simultanément un déplacement latéral vers le côté externe de la toiture, de la position de l'organe d'accouplement 222a et un déplacement vertical vers le haut, de la position de la rainure inclinée 221a tout en respectant l'angle d'inclinaison de cette dernière. La première branche 220a1 dudit profilé en forme de coude formant la bordure longitudinale 220a et recevant à sa partie basse l'organe d'accouplement 222a est.étroite et se dresse verticalement tel un poteau avec une inclinaison plus ou moins sensible adaptée au rayon de courbure des panneaux, et la deuxième branche 220a2 recevant à sa partie haute la rainure inclinée 221a adopte la forme d'un cône dont la petite base est dans le prolongement de la première branche verticale 220a1 et dont la grande base reçoit à sa partie haute la susdite rainure inclinée 221a. En remplaçant uniquement le profilé des bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' de l'élément I' par celui des bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b tel qu'illustré sur le dessin de la figure 10, on obtient un élément I qui assure, de par la présence du cône de la deuxième branche 220a2, l'augmentation de la distance que délimite la corde extérieure des deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' et donc de l'écartement entre les deux organes d'accouplement (dont un seul 222a est représenté) ainsi que, de par la présence du poteau formant la première branche 220a1, la surélévation de la hauteur des rainures inclinées (dont une seule 221a est représentée). Cette augmentation de l'écart entre les organes d'accouplement et cette surélévation des rainures seront paramétrées au niveau des côtes du cône de la deuxième branche 220a2 et de celles du poteau de la première branche 220a1 pour autoriser sans frottement la libre mobilité des éléments juxtaposés I' de la portion mobile P' au-dessous des éléments juxtaposés I de l'autre portion P.The end beam 220a of the portion P is, for its part, preformed differently from that of the conventional cross member 220a 'by adopting a preferably hollow profile bent two branches 220a1 and 220a2 at an obtuse angle to ensure simultaneously lateral displacement towards the outer side of the roof, the position of the coupling member 222a and a vertical displacement upwardly, the position of the inclined groove 221a while respecting the angle of inclination thereof. The first leg 220a1 of said elbow-shaped profile forming the longitudinal edge 220a and receiving at its lower part the coupling member 222a is narrow and stands vertically as a pole with a more or less sensitive inclination adapted to the radius of curvature panels and the second branch 220a2 receiving at its upper part the inclined groove 221a adopts the shape of a cone whose small base is in the extension of the first vertical branch 220a1 and whose large base receives at its upper part the aforesaid inclined groove 221a. By replacing only the profile of the longitudinal edges 220a 'and 220b' of the element I 'by that of the longitudinal edges 220a and 220b as illustrated in the drawing of FIG. 10, an element I is obtained which ensures, by way of presence of the cone of the second branch 220a2, increasing the distance defined by the outer rope of the two longitudinal edges 220a 'and 220b' and therefore the distance between the two coupling members (only one 222a is shown) as well as, by the presence of the pole forming the first branch 220a1, the elevation of the height of the inclined grooves (only one 221a is shown). This increase of the difference between the coupling members and this elevation of the grooves will be parameterized at the ribs of the cone of the second branch 220a2 and those of the post of the first branch 220a1 to allow without friction the free mobility of the elements juxtaposed I 'of the movable portion P' below the juxtaposed elements I of the other portion P.

Afin d'autoriser le dégagement aisé des pattes de fixation 300a hors des organes d'accouplement 222a', notamment lorsque différents éléments I' sont accouplés entre eux par des profilés en U 211', il a été imaginé de tronquer l'extrémité cylindrique 301a' des pattes de fixation 300a' selon un plan oblique parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la bordure 220a' de manière à autoriser le passage de l'extrémité cylindrique tronquée 301a' de la patte de fixation 300a' par l'ouverture de la rainure longitudinale 222a". En effet, une fois la patte de fixation 300a' dégagée de son arrimage sur le rebord S du bassin, il suffit de faire basculer celle-ci vers le haut pour la dégager de la glissière de l'organe d'accouplement 222a.In order to allow easy release of the fastening tabs 300a out of the coupling members 222a ', especially when different elements I' are coupled between them by U-shaped sections 211 ', it has been imagined to truncate the cylindrical end 301a' of the fixing lugs 300a 'in an oblique plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the edge 220a' so as to allow the passage of the truncated cylindrical end 301a 'of the fixing lug 300a' through the opening of the longitudinal groove 222a ".In fact, once the fixing lug 300a 'has been released from its stowage on the rim S of the basin, it suffices to swing the latter upwards to disengage it from the slide of the coupling member 222a.

Afin de corriger les déports latéraux importants de la portion mobile P', lors de ses déplacements D à l'intérieur de la portion fixe P le long de l'axe longitudinal de la piscine, la demanderesse a également imaginé d'installer un dispositif de guidage 500 illustré sur le dessin de la figure 11 et original en ce qu'il comporte :

  • d'une part, au moins un mais de préférence deux galets de guidage 510a' et 510b' entraînés en libre rotation autour de deux axes verticaux associés à l'arceau extrême 210' de la portion mobile P' évoluant le long de la portion fixe P et au niveau des deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' de la portion mobile P', de manière à ce que les bandes de roulement 511a' et 511b' desdits galets de guidage 510a' et 510b' soient débordantes des bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' faisant face aux deux bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b de la portion fixe P tout en prenant appui sur les traverses que forment lesdites deux bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b ou sur les panneaux (100) formant chemin de roulement tout au long du déplacement de ladite portion mobile P',
  • et d'autre part, au moins un mais de préférence deux galets de contre guidage 520a et 520b entraînés en libre rotation autour de deux axes verticaux associés à l'arceau extrême 210 de la portion fixe P le long duquel évolue la portion mobile P' et au niveau des deux bordures longitudinales 220a et' 220b de manière à ce que les bandes de roulement 521a et 521b desdits galets de contre guidage 520a et 520b soient débordantes du plan vertical des bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b faisant face aux deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' de la portion mobile P' tout en prenant appui sur les traverses que forment lesdites deux bordures longitudinales 220a' et 220b' ou sur les panneaux 100' de la portion mobile P' formant chemin de roulement tout au long du déplacement de cette dernière. De préférence, les axes des deux galets de contre guidage 520a et 520b sont maintenus au niveau de l'arceau, extrême de la portion fixe P, dans une position verticale au moyen d'une fixation dans le rebord longitudinal S de la piscine.
In order to correct the significant lateral offsets of the movable portion P 'during its displacements D within the fixed portion P along the longitudinal axis of the pool, the Applicant has also conceived of installing a guide 500 illustrated in the drawing of FIG. 11 and original in that it comprises:
  • on the one hand, at least one but preferably two guide rollers 510a 'and 510b' driven in free rotation about two vertical axes associated with the end hoop 210 'of the movable portion P' moving along the fixed portion P and at the two longitudinal edges 220a 'and 220b' of the movable portion P ', so that the treads 511a' and 511b 'of said guide rollers 510a' and 510b 'are protruding from the longitudinal edges 220a' and 220b 'facing the two longitudinal edges 220a and 220b of the fixed portion P while bearing on the sleepers formed by said two longitudinal edges 220a and 220b or on the panels (100) forming the raceway throughout the movement of said movable portion P ',
  • and on the other hand, at least one but preferably two counter-guide rollers 520a and 520b driven in free rotation about two vertical axes associated with the end hoop 210 of the fixed portion P along which the moving portion P 'evolves and at the two borders 220a and '220b longitudinal so that the treads 521a and 521b said counter-guide rollers 520a and 520b are projecting from the vertical plane of the longitudinal edges 220a and 220b facing the two longitudinal edges 220a' and 220b 'of the portion mobile P 'while bearing on the sleepers formed by said two longitudinal edges 220a' and 220b 'or on the panels 100' of the movable portion P 'forming a rolling path throughout the movement thereof. Preferably, the axes of the two counter-guide rollers 520a and 520b are held at the level of the arch, the end of the fixed portion P, in a vertical position by means of a fixation in the longitudinal edge S of the pool.

Le dessin de la figure 12 montre plus en détails un seul (510a') des deux galets de guidage entraîné en libre rotation autour d'un axe vertical associé à l'arceau extrême 210' au niveau de la bordure longitudinale 220a' de la portion mobile P' et un seul (520a) des deux galets de contre guidage entraîné en libre rotation autour d'un axe vertical associé à l'arceau extrême 210 au niveau de la bordure longitudinale 220a. Plus précisément, comme on peut le voir sur les dessins des figures 13a et 13b, la bande de roulement 511a' dudit galet de guidage 510a' est débordante du plan de la bordure longitudinale 220a' tout tout en prenant appui sur la paroi interne de la partie verticale étroite formant poteau 220a1 de la bordure longitudinale 220a de la portion fixe P et la bande de roulement 521a dudit galet de contre guidage 520a est débordante du plan de la bordure longitudinale 220a tout en prenant appui sur la paroi externe de la bordure longitudinale 220a' de la paroi mobile P'.The drawing of FIG. 12 shows in greater detail only one (510a ') of the two guide rollers driven in free rotation about a vertical axis associated with the end hoop 210' at the longitudinal edge 220a 'of the portion mobile P 'and only one (520a) of the two counter-guide rollers driven in free rotation about a vertical axis associated with the end hoop 210 at the longitudinal edge 220a. More specifically, as can be seen in the drawings of Figures 13a and 13b, the tread 511a 'of said guide roller 510a' is projecting from the plane of the longitudinal edge 220a 'while bearing on the inner wall of the narrow vertical portion forming a pole 220a1 of the longitudinal edge 220a of the fixed portion P and the tread 521a of said counter-guide roller 520a is projecting from the plane of the longitudinal edge 220a while bearing on the outer wall of the longitudinal edge 220a of the movable wall P '.

La paire de galets de guidage 510a' et 510b' associée à la paire de galets de contre guidage 520a et 520b formant le dispositif de guidage 500 a pour grand avantage de redresser automatiquement les écarts latéraux des déplacements D de la portion mobile P' par rapport à la portion fixe P. De plus, lorsque les deux galets de guidage 510a' et 510b' entraînés en rotation autour de deux axes associés à l'arceau extrême 210' de la portion mobile P' sont disposés partiellement (comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 13) ou en totalité dans un même plan horizontal, ils viennent en butée de fin de course contre les deux galets de contre guidage 520a et 520b entraînés en rotation autour de deux axes verticaux associés à l'arceau extrême de la portion fixe P, de manière à limiter la course des déplacements en translation D de ladite portion mobile P' le long de l'axe longitudinal de la piscine.The pair of guide rollers 510a 'and 510b' associated with the pair of counter-guide rollers 520a and 520b forming the guide device 500 has the great advantage of automatically correcting the lateral deviations of the displacements D of the movable portion P 'with respect to at the fixed portion P. In addition, when the two guide rollers 510a 'and 510b' rotated about two axes associated with the end hoop 210 'of the movable portion P' are partially arranged (as illustrated in the drawing of FIG. 13) or in full in the same horizontal plane, they come into abutment against the two counter-guide rollers 520a and 520b driven in rotation about two vertical axes associated with the extreme bow of the fixed portion P , so as to limit the travel displacement in translation D of said movable portion P 'along the longitudinal axis of the pool.

Il va de soi que le dispositif 500 pourra être aménagé selon plusieurs adaptations tout en restant dans le contexte de la présenté invention, adaptations qui consistent par exemple :

  • à adopter le même principe lorsque la portion P est mobile et recouvre la portion fixe P',
  • à ne pas se limiter en nombre de galets lorsque les éléments de piscine sont de dimension plus importante,
  • à prévoir d'autres galets de guidage ou de contre guidage répartis sur la longueur des arceaux extrêmes par exemple de manière à prendre appui sur les traverses 220 et/ou les panneaux 100 de l'autre portion P,
  • à motoriser au moins des galets de guidage et/ou de contre guidage afin de commander les déplacements D de la portion mobile,
  • à disposer les axes des galets de guidage 220a' et 220b' selon un axe sensiblement incliné par rapport à la verticale de manière à ce que les bandes de roulement 511a' et 511b' desdits galets de guidage prennent appui sur les bordures longitudinales 220a et 220b de la portion fixe tout en assurant le guidage, la portance de la portion mobile P' remplaçant ainsi ou suppléant les susdits moyens de roulement 320a' autorisant les déplacements D
It goes without saying that the device 500 may be arranged according to several adaptations while remaining in the context of the present invention, adaptations which consist for example:
  • to adopt the same principle when the portion P is mobile and covers the fixed portion P ',
  • not to be limited in number of rollers when the pool elements are larger,
  • to provide other guide rollers or against guiding distributed over the length of the end hoops for example so as to bear on the cross members 220 and / or the panels 100 of the other portion P,
  • motorizing at least guide rollers and / or counter guide means for controlling the displacements D of the movable portion,
  • arranging the axes of the guide rollers 220a 'and 220b' along an axis substantially inclined relative to the vertical so that the treads 511a 'and 511b' of said guide rollers bear on the longitudinal edges 220a and 220b of the fixed portion while providing guidance, the lift of the movable portion P 'thus replacing or substituting the aforesaid rolling means 320a' allowing movements D

On comprend que la toiture de piscine T′ qui vient d'être ci-dessus décrite et représentée, l'a été en vue d'une divulgation plutôt que d'une limitation. Bien entendu, divers aménagements, modifications et améliorations pourront être apportés à l'exemple ci-dessus, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention pris dans ses aspects et dans son esprit les plus larges, l'étendue de la protection étant déterminée par la teneur des revendications.It is understood that the swimming pool roof T 'which has just been described above and shown, has been for the purpose of disclosure rather than limitation. Of course, various arrangements, modifications and improvements may be made to the example above, without departing from the scope of the invention taken in its aspects and in its broader mind, the scope of protection being determined by the terms of the claims.
