Description

L'échelle, conçue pour être appliquée à piscine/bassin hors-sol, à ciel ouvert, contenant liquides, granulés ou poudres, a été étudiée et réalisée pour répondre à des normes : -de sécurité d'utilisation pour les usagers, de facilité d'installation et de commodité pour l'utilisation d'accessoires et d'appareils à l'intérieur du bassin (Fig.1 - Fig.2).The ladder, designed to be applied to pool / above-ground pool, open pit, containing liquids, granules or powders, has been studied and carried out to meet standards: -safety of use for users, facility installation and convenience for the use of accessories and appliances inside the basin (Fig.1 - Fig.2).

La structure portante a été réalisée à l'aide de deux tubes en métal vernis montés verticalement (part.1 Fig.1-2), sur lesquels sont fixées, par des vis en acier, des chevilles en plastique (part.2 Fig.1-2) avec un dessin anti-glisse dans la partie supérieure. Pour éviter aux usagers traumatismes et écorchures dus au frottement, des vis à tête plate à hexagone encastré, combinées avec une ultime évasure sur le montant, ont été utilisées pour ce type de fixation.
Pour garantir un appui des montants au sol adéquat et sur, on a utilisé à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la piscine/bassin, un pied d'appui en plastique (part.3 Fig.1-2) doté d'une douille télescopique se positionnant dans tous les sens, qui permet un appui correct sur le plan de pose, même si la surface n'est pas parfaitement plane.
The load-bearing structure was made using two vertically mounted varnished metal tubes (part.1 Fig.1-2), on which are fixed, by steel screws, plastic plugs (part.2 Fig. 1-2) with a non-slip pattern at the top. To avoid user trauma and scratches due to friction, flathead screws with hexagon recessed, combined with a final flare on the upright, were used for this type of fixation.
To ensure adequate support of the uprights on the floor, a plastic support foot (part.3 Fig.1-2) is used inside and outside the pool / pool. a telescopic sleeve positioned in all directions, which allows a correct support on the laying plane, even if the surface is not perfectly flat.

Dans la partie supérieure des montants se trouvant au-dessus du bord supérieur du bassin,a été mise une petite plate-forme en plastique anti-glisse (part.4 Fig.1-2). Cette plate-forme permet à l'usager d'interrompre la montée de l'échelle et de commencer la descente du coté opposé en totale sécurité, sans devoir accomplir des mouvements non naturels ou qui comportent le risque d'instabilité ou de glisser des échelons.In the upper part of the uprights above the upper edge of the basin was placed a small anti-slip plastic platform (part.4 Fig.1-2). This platform allows the user to stop climbing the ladder and start the descent on the opposite side in total safety, without having to perform unnatural movements or that involve the risk of instability or sliding steps .

En outre pour répondre pleinement aux normes décrites, toujours dans la partie finale supérieure des montants, ont été insérés et fixés, grâce à des vis métalliques, deux autres tubes qui servent à la propre continuité des montants et forment deux rambardes latérales à l'échelle (part.5 Fig.1-2).In addition to fully meet the standards described, still in the upper final part of the uprights, were inserted and secured, thanks to metal screws, two other tubes that serve for the proper continuity of the uprights and form two side rails on the scale (part.5 Fig.1-2).

Ces solutions permettent une utilisation sure de l'échelle pour l'usager, sans possibilité de continuité pour ce qui est de l'appui des pieds sur les échelons et de la prise des mains sur les montants.These solutions allow a safe use of the ladder for the user, with no possibility of continuity in the support of the feet on the ladder and the taking of hands on the uprights.

La norme d'unicité de l'échelle est garantie par l'axe de rotation (Fig.7) monté sur le coté extérieur du bassin, qui permet de faire tourner la partie inférieure extérieure de l'échelle vers l'intérieur du bassin, en la mettant ainsi verticalement (Fig.4), et donc de faire tourner vers l'extérieur du bassin la partie de l'échelle comprenant la plate-forme et la rambarde supérieure (Fig.5), qui se trouve en position d'utilisation à l'intérieur du bassin.The standard of uniqueness of the scale is guaranteed by the axis of rotation (Fig.7) mounted on the outer side of the basin, which makes it possible to turn the outer lower part of the ladder towards the inside of the basin, by placing it vertically (Fig.4), and thus turning the part of the ladder comprising the platform and the upper guardrail (Fig.5), which is in the position of use inside the basin.

Ce dispositif a été réalisé grâce au positionnement d'un tube métallique de soutien (part.6 Fig.1-2) relié par des étaux à deux colonnes portantes de la piscine/bassin, de manière a réalisé un châssis solide d'ancrage pour l'échelle. L'échelle doit impérativement éviter d'être instable lors de son utilisation et pendant la phase de rotation de ses portions (Fig.3-Fig.4 - Fig.5) .This device was realized thanks to the positioning of a metal support tube (part.6 Fig.1-2) connected by vices to two supporting columns of the pool / basin, so as to realize a solid anchoring frame for the scale. The scale must imperatively avoid being unstable during its use and during the phase of rotation of its portions (Fig.3-Fig.4 - Fig.5).

A ce tube de liaison ont été fixées les portions internes et externes de l'échelle, à l'aide de petits clous à deux pointes métalliques , permettant ainsi la rotation de ces portions, le long de l'axe longitudinal de ce tube de liaison.To this connecting tube were fixed the internal and external portions of the scale, using small nails with two metal tips, thus allowing the rotation of these portions, along the longitudinal axis of this connecting tube .

L'échelle, avec ce dispositif de rotation est réalisée en deux versions avec la hauteur de la plate-forme à 125cm et à 135cm, de manière à s'adapter aux différentes versions des piscines, qui pour leurs capacités diverses présentent des hauteurs différentes du bord supérieur.The scale, with this device of rotation is realized in two versions with the height of the platform to 125cm and 135cm, so as to adapt to the different versions of the swimming pools, which for their various capacities present different heights of the upper edge.

Claims (3)

Sécurité d'utilisation
Position d'utilisation avec échelle OUVERTE (Fig.3)
La typologie particulière d'ancrage de l'échelle permet la fixation de l'échelle aux jambes de force de la piscine/bassin (Fig.7), pour permettre la réalisation d'un châssis rigide. Ce châssis évite la possibilité de chute de l'usager, due au renversement de l'échelle si elle est soumise, en phase d'utilisation, à de fortes sollicitations verticales et horizontales.
La bonne stabilité de l'échelle est en outre garantie, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la piscine/bassin, par une typologie d'appui au sol réalisée grâce à l'utilisation de pieds de support en plastique, qui augmente la superficie d'appui, en évitant en même temps que les appuis sur le plan de pose du bassin ne glissent.
Security of use
Use position with scale OPEN (Fig.3)
The particular typology of anchoring the ladder allows the attachment of the ladder to the struts of the pool / basin (Fig.7), to allow the realization of a rigid chassis. This frame avoids the possibility of falling from the user, due to the reversal of the ladder if it is subjected, during the use phase, to strong vertical and horizontal stresses.
The good stability of the ladder is also guaranteed, inside and outside the pool / pool, by a typology of ground support achieved through the use of plastic support feet, which increases the support surface, avoiding at the same time that the supports on the laying plan of the basin do not slide.
Sécurité pour éviter l'utilisation des mineurs
Position de non-utilisation avec échelle FERMEE (Fig.4)
En tournant vers le haut la partie inférieure de l'échelle mise sur le coté extérieur de la piscine/bassin, on a la possibilité de mettre l'échelle en condition de sécurité, ne rendant plus possible l'accès aux enfants, qui à cause de leur petite taille ne pourraient plus monter sur les échelons inférieurs.
Cette solution technique permet d'interdire l'accès à la piscine/bassin, au cas où les adultes responsables de contrôler les enfants pendant l'utilisation de la piscine/bassin, ne soient pas présents.
Security to avoid the use of minors
Non-use position with CLOSED scale (Fig.4)
By turning up the lower part of the ladder placed on the outer side of the pool / pool, we have the possibility to put the ladder in a safe condition, making it impossible to access the children, which because of their small size could no longer climb the lower rungs.
This technical solution allows to prohibit access to the pool / pool, in case the adults responsible for controlling the children during the use of the pool / pool, are not present.
Utilisation d' appareils et nettoyeurs automatiques
Position de non-utilisation avec échelle ESCAMOTEE (Fig.5 - Fig.6)
En faisant tourner vers l'extérieur la partie de l'échelle dans la piscine/bassin, on peut libérer complètement le volume interne, permettant ainsi l'utilisation d'appareils automatiques pour le nettoyage de la superficie de l'eau ou pour les diverses opérations, qui provoquant du remous, font que le matériel contenu peut se déplacer et donc sans qu'il y ait d'obstacles qui rendent difficiles ou dangereuses ces opérations.
Use of automatic devices and cleaners
Non-use position with ESCAMOTE scale (Fig.5 - Fig.6)
By rotating the part of the ladder in the swimming pool / basin outwards, the internal volume can be completely released, allowing the use of automatic devices for cleaning the water surface or for the various types of water. operations, which cause a stir, make the material contained can move and therefore without obstacles that make difficult or dangerous these operations.
