The user of the device of the invention is therefore not obliged to provide support or additional effort to allow the smooth operation of the winding device unlike devices existing in the prior art.
- the first end deviates from the surface on which it is initially in contact as the thickness of the winding increases the second end remaining alone in contact with said surface.
- the rotating drive means is arranged to cooperate with the end of a transverse tube on either side of the longitudinal axis of the elongate structure.
- the device adapts to both longitudinal sides of the cover.
- said second end comprises a rolling means which not only facilitates the displacement of the point of contact required for the lever arm function but also allows the gripping handle to move in the raised position out of its winding use. for purposes of faster travel by the user.
- the latter is constituted by a horizontal platform on which are arranged the different subsets necessary for the operation of the drive means, namely a battery, a motor, a gearbox, platform associated with a shell / cover providing the protection enclosure function around the different subassemblies.
- the device D is electric and according to a preferred embodiment is equipped with a battery which makes it an autonomous device.

- This safety cover C is of the type consisting of at least one rigid sheet 100 rigidified and / or maintained by transverse tubes 110 whose ends 111 and 112 are supported on each side of the pool pool P.
- the ends 111 and 112 of the transverse reinforcing tubes are based on the coping around the pool P.
- the device has an elongate structure 200 on which the means for moving in rotation ensures the driving of a transverse axis and therefore perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device D.

Description
La présente invention a trait au domaine de la sécurité des bassins pour piscine et notamment aux adaptations permettant de réaliser dans les meilleures conditions l'enroulement des couvertures de sécurité pour piscine.The present invention relates to the field of pool safety pools and including adaptations to achieve in the best conditions the winding of pool safety covers.
Une méthode de protection et de sécurisation des bassins de type piscine consiste à recouvrir le bassin par une couverture de sécurité. Les couvertures de sécurité sont classiquement constituées par des bâches souples rigidifiées et/ou maintenues par des tubes transversaux dont les extrémités viennent s'appuyer sur chaque côté du bassin par exemple sur la margelle.One method of protecting and securing swimming pools is to cover the pool with a safety cover. The safety covers are conventionally constituted by flexible sheets rigidified and / or maintained by transverse tubes whose ends are supported on each side of the basin for example on the lip.
Classiquement, cette couverture est retirée par enroulement sur un des tubes. Cet enroulement est soit réalisé manuellement au moyen d'un dispositif mobile à manivelle et renvoi d'angle ou de façon motorisée électriquement au moyen d'un dispositif mobile équivalent au dispositif manuel. Ces dispositifs viennent entraîner en rotation un des tubes renforçant et/ou constituantla couverture.Conventionally, this blanket is removed by winding on one of the tubes. This winding is either carried out manually by means of a mobile device with crank and angle gear or electrically powered by means of a mobile device equivalent to the manual device. These devices rotate one of the reinforcing tubes and / or constituting the cover.
De par leur configuration, ces solutions ont pour inconvénients de requérir non seulement la présence mais également l'intervention de leur utilisateur notamment lorsque la masse enroulée devient conséquente du fait du volume de matière enroulée et/ou de l'excentration provoquée par les tubes. Cette intervention censée faciliter l'enroulement, nécessite une certaine force musculaire et rend pénible l'opération d'enroulement qui, dans le cadre des couvertures de sécurité, doit être réalisée quotidiennement.By their configuration, these solutions have the disadvantage of requiring not only the presence but also the intervention of their user especially when the wound mass becomes consistent due to the volume of wound material and / or eccentricity caused by the tubes. This intervention, which is supposed to facilitate winding, requires a certain muscular force and makes the winding operation which, as part of the safety covers, must be performed daily.
Partant de cet état de fait, les demandeurs ont mené des recherches visant à réduire la pénibilité de l'opération d'enroulement d'une couverture de sécurité.From this state of affairs, the applicants have conducted research aimed at reducing the difficulty of the operation of winding a security cover.
Ces recherches ont abouti à la conception d'un dispositif mobile d'enroulement motorisé d'une couverture de sécurité pour bassin de type piscine, couverture du type de celle constituée par au moins une bâche souple rigidifiée et/ou maintenuee par des tubes transversaux dont les extrémités viennent s'appuyer sur chaque côté du bassin.This research led to the design of a mobile motorized winding device for a swimming pool safety cover, which cover is of the type constituted by at least one stiffened flexible sheet and / or maintained by transverse tubes of which the ends come to rest on each side of the basin.
Selon la caractéristique principale de l'invention, le dispositif est remarquable en ce qu'il est constitué par une structure sensiblement allongée comportant
- à une première extrémité un moyen d'entraînement en rotation venant coopérer ponctuellement avec l'extrémité d'un tube transversal à des fins d'enroulement ou de déroulement de ladite couverture et
- au niveau de sa deuxième extrémité, un point d'appui sur la surface sur laquelle circule ledit dispositif pour former un bras de levier s'opposant à l'effort de mise en mouvement en rotation au fur et à mesure que s'enroule ou se déroule la couverture et que se déplace le dispositif.
- at one end a rotation drive means cooperating punctually with the end of a transverse tube for winding or unwinding said cover and
- at its second end, a fulcrum on the surface on which said device to circulate to form a lever arm opposing the force of moving in rotation as it winds up or down. unrolls the cover and that moves the device.
Cette caractéristique est particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle associe le moyen de motorisation à un bras de levier conséquent susceptible de s'opposer à l'effort nécessaire à la mise en mouvement du tube et de la couverture enroulée ou à enrouler autour. Ce bras de levier reste au sol et accompagne le dispositif dans son mouvement en translation le long de la piscine. L'utilisateur du dispositif de l'invention n'est donc pas dans l'obligation d'apporter un appui ou un effort additionnel pour autoriser le bon fonctionnement du dispositif d'enroulement contrairement aux dispositifs existant dans l'art antérieur.This feature is particularly advantageous in that it associates the motorization means with a lever arm therefore likely to oppose the effort required to move the tube and the wrapped cover or to wrap around. This lever arm remains on the ground and accompanies the device in its movement in translation along the pool. The user of the device of the invention is therefore not obliged to provide support or additional effort to allow the smooth operation of the winding device unlike devices existing in the prior art.
Aussi, le couple fourni par le moyen d'entraînement pour la mise en oeuvre du mouvement de rotation du tube avec lequel il s'associe, et qui peut par réaction, s'appliquer à la structure supportant le moyen d'entraînement lorsque la masse du rouleau formé par la bâche et les rouleaux dépasse un certain seuil, vient prendre appui sur la surface sur laquelle circule le dispositif et non sur l'utilisateur tenant le dispositif.Also, the torque provided by the driving means for the implementation of the rotational movement of the tube with which it is associated, and which can by reaction, apply to the structure supporting the drive means when the mass of the roll formed by the sheet and the rollers exceeds a certain threshold, comes to bear on the surface on which the device circulates and not on the user holding the device.
Une telle configuration permet d'envisager une conception de dispositif d'enroulement où les fonctions de mise en mouvement et de commande peuvent être matériellement séparées. Ainsi, les demandeurs ont imaginé que le boîtier de commande du dispositif d'entraînement est séparé du moyen d'entraînement laissant l'utilisateur sans contact direct avec ce dernier. Le boîtier de commande peut être lié par un flexible au dispositif ou est équipé d'une technologie de commande à distance. L'utilisateur peut donc assurer le suivi du bon fonctionnement du dispositif sans devoir actionner par contact ou tenir le dispositif pendant la phase d'enroulement. Ce mode d'utilisation constitue un progrès technique et commercial incontestable en regard de ce que propose l'art antérieur.Such a configuration makes it possible to envisage a winding device design in which the movement and control functions can be physically separated. Thus, the applicants have imagined that the control unit of the drive device is separate from the drive means leaving the user without direct contact with the latter. The control box can be flexibly connected to the device or is equipped with remote control technology. The user can therefore monitor the proper operation of the device without having to operate by contact or hold the device during the winding phase. This mode of use constitutes an undeniable technical and commercial progress with regard to what the prior art proposes.
Selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la première extrémité s'écarte de la surface sur laquelle elle est initialement en contact au fur et à mesure que l'épaisseur de l'enroulement augmente la deuxième extrémité restant seule en contact avec ladite surface. Ainsi, tout en maintenant la fonction de base de la structure du dispositif c'est à dire fournir un appui au moyen d'entraînement, les demandeurs ont avantageusement imaginé une conception simplifiée en laissant la première extrémité du dispositif librement s'élever au-dessus de la surface sur laquelle le dispositif se déplace. Ainsi, les demandeurs ont imaginé que le dispositif ne coopère pas avec un quelconque moyen de guidage ou de maintien au sol. Seule la liaison entre le moyen d'entraînement et le tube transversal oriente le dispositif.According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, the first end deviates from the surface on which it is initially in contact as the thickness of the winding increases the second end remaining alone in contact with said surface. . Thus, while maintaining the basic function of the structure of the device that is to say provide support to the drive means, the applicants have advantageously imagined a simplified design by allowing the first end of the device freely to rise above of the surface on which the device is moving. Thus, the applicants have imagined that the device does not cooperate with any means of guiding or maintaining the ground. Only the connection between the drive means and the transverse tube orients the device.
En outre, pour proposer une certaine souplesse d'utilisation, le moyen d'entraînement en rotation est agencé pour coopérer avec l'extrémité d'un tube transversal de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal de la structure allongée. Ainsi, le dispositif s'adapte aux deux côtés longitudinaux de la couverture.In addition, to provide a certain flexibility of use, the rotating drive means is arranged to cooperate with the end of a transverse tube on either side of the longitudinal axis of the elongate structure. Thus, the device adapts to both longitudinal sides of the cover.
Afin de faciliter le déplacement et le positionnement du dispositif, ce dernier est avantageusement équipé de moyens de préhension et de roulement. Ainsi par exemple,ladite deuxième extrémité comprend un moyen de roulement qui non seulement facilite le déplacement du point de contact nécessaire à la fonction de bras de levier mais autorise également avec la poignée de préhension un déplacement en position relevée hors de son utilisation d'enroulement à des fins de déplacement plus rapide par l'utilisateur.In order to facilitate the movement and positioning of the device, the latter is advantageously equipped with gripping and rolling means. Thus, for example, said second end comprises a rolling means which not only facilitates the displacement of the point of contact required for the lever arm function but also allows the gripping handle to move in the raised position out of its winding use. for purposes of faster travel by the user.
Afin de protéger les différents sous-ensembles fonctionnels participant au dispositif, ce dernier est constitué par une plate-forme horizontale sur laquelle sont agencés les différents sous ensembles nécessaires au fonctionnement du moyen d'entraînement à savoir une batterie, un moteur, un réducteur, plate-forme s'associant à une coque /couvercle assurant la fonction d'enceinte de protection autour des différents sous-ensembles.In order to protect the different functional subsystems participating in the device, the latter is constituted by a horizontal platform on which are arranged the different subsets necessary for the operation of the drive means, namely a battery, a motor, a gearbox, platform associated with a shell / cover providing the protection enclosure function around the different subassemblies.
Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, le dispositif D est électrique et selon un mode de réalisation préféré est équipé d'une batterie ce qui en fait un dispositif autonome.According to another particularly advantageous characteristic, the device D is electric and according to a preferred embodiment is equipped with a battery which makes it an autonomous device.

Comme qu'illustré sur le dessin de la figure 1, le dispositif mobile d'enroulement motorisé référencé D dans son ensemble assure l'enroulement d'une couverture de sécurité référencée C pour un bassin de type piscine référencée P représentée en traits interrompus courts. Cette couverture de sécurité C est du type de celle constituée par au moins une bâche souple 100 rigidifiée et/ou maintenuee par des tubes transversaux 110 dont les extrémités 111 et 112 viennent s'appuyer sur chaque côté du bassin de piscine P.As illustrated in the drawing of Figure 1, the movable motorized winding device referenced D as a whole ensures the winding of a security cover referenced C for a pool-type pool referenced P shown in short broken lines. This safety cover C is of the type consisting of at least one
Selon la configuration illustrée les extrémités 111 et 112 des tubes de renforts transversaux s'appuient sur la margelle entourant la piscine P.According to the configuration illustrated, the
Comme illustré par les figures 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6, le dispositif D est constitué par une structure 200 sensiblement allongée comportant
- à une
première extrémité 210 un moyen d'entraînement 300 en rotation venant coopérer ponctuellement avec l'extrémité 112 d'un tube transversal 110 à des fins d'enroulement ou de déroulement de ladite couverture C et au niveau de sadeuxième extrémité 220, un point d'appui A sur la surface sur laquelle circule ledit dispositif pour former un bras de levier s'opposant à l'effort de mise en mouvement en rotation exercé sur lastructure 200 au fur et à mesure que s'enroule ou se déroule la couverture C et se déplace le dispositif D.
- at a first end 210 a rotating drive means 300 cooperating punctually with the
end 112 of atransverse tube 110 for winding or unwinding said cover C and at itssecond end 220, a fulcrum A on the surface on which said device circulates to form a lever arm opposing the force of movement in rotation exerted on thestructure 200 as it rolls or unfolds. C cover and moves the device D.
Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, le dispositif présente une structure allongée 200 sur lequel le moyen de mise en mouvement en rotation assure l'entraînement d'un axe transversal donc perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du dispositif D. Il en résulte que la structure allongée 200 du dispositif D en s'associant à un tube 110 transversal est disposée et se déplace longitudinalement selon la flèche F par rapport au bassin P et perpendiculairement par rapport aux tubes 110.According to the illustrated embodiment, the device has an
Le dispositif D' dessiné en traits interrompus courts en figure 1, illustre la souplesse d'utilisation du dispositif qui propose un moyen d'entraînement sur ses deux côtés ce qui lui permet d'être utilisé sur les deux côtés longitudinaux de la couverture C.The device D 'drawn in short broken lines in Figure 1, illustrates the flexibility of use of the device which provides a drive means on both sides allowing it to be used on both longitudinal sides of the cover C.
Selon la configuration illustrée en figure 1, le dispositif D se déplace parallèlement à la margelle sur laquelle reposent les extrémités 112 de tubes 110. En outre, le dispositif D vient coopérer avec un tube 110' situé à une extrémité de la couverture C.According to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 1, the device D moves parallel to the lip on which the
Comme illustrée en figure 4, la structure allongée 200 a pour avantage de proposer au moyen d'entraînement fixe 300, une partie en rotation dont le bras de levier défini entre l'axe de rotation de l'arbre moteur 310 et le point d'appui A garantissant une grande stabilité malgré les efforts inverses que doit supporter ladite structure lorsque l'inertie du rouleau réalisé par l'opération d'enroulement dépasse un certain seuil. Cette structure allongée fournit donc un appui à la partie non tournante du dispositif, appui que n'a plus à fournir l'utilisateur de ce dispositif.As illustrated in FIG. 4, the
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le dispositif de l'invention est utilisé seulement pour l'opération d'enroulement le redéploiement de la couverture étant réalisé par traction d'un câble (ou sangle) non illustré lié à l'extrémité détachable de la couverture C. Pour ce faire, le dispositif de l'invention est équipé d'un système de roue libre autorisant le déroulement en sens inverse de la couverture par simple traction sur ledit câble.According to a preferred embodiment, the device of the invention is used only for the winding operation the redeployment of the cover being made by pulling a cable (or strap) not shown linked to the detachable end of the C. Cover For this purpose, the device of the invention is equipped with a freewheel system allowing unwinding in the opposite direction of the cover by simply pulling on said cable.
Selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, la première extrémité 210 s'écarte de la surface sur laquelle elle est initialement en contact au fur et à mesure que l'épaisseur de l'enroulement augmente la deuxième extrémité 220 restant seule en contact avec ladite surface. Ainsi, selon la conception du dispositif imaginé par les demandeurs le point d'appui A devient un centre instantané de rotation au fur et à mesure que la première extrémité 210 s'élève au dessus du sol selon la flèche E du fait de l'augmentation de l'épaisseur du rouleau formé par la couverture enroulée comme illustré en figure 5. Les points d'appui du dispositif sur le sol sont alors le point d'appui A défini par la deuxième extrémité 220 et le point sensiblement tangentiel B de contact du rouleau formé par la couverture C qui est illustré de façon schématique en traits interrompus courts.According to a particularly advantageous characteristic, the
Afin de faciliter cette rotation autour du point d'appui A défini par la deuxième extrémité 220, les demandeurs ont équipé cette dernière d'au moins un moyen de roulement 221 constitué par des roulettes d'axe transversal par rapport à l'axe d'avancée du dispositif D.To facilitate this rotation around the fulcrum A defined by the
Ce moyen de roulement 221 regroupe avantageusement d'autres fonctions. D'une part, il propose un point appui A roulant évitant une usure du dispositif. D'autre part, il facilite le déplacement du dispositif en dehors de son fonctionnement d'enroulement. Ainsi, pour disposer le dispositif D de son lieu de stockage vers l'extrémité de tube avec laquelle il va coopérer ou bien de l'extrémité de tube vers son lieu de stockage, ce moyen de roulement coopère avec le moyen de préhension 211 équipant la premier extrémité 210 pour permettre un déplacement sur ce seul moyen de roulement 221. A cette fin l'axe de rotation des roulettes est disposé non sous la structure 200 mais décalé vers l'extérieur. Ainsi, le dispositif D peut être soulevé par sa première extrémité 210 tout en restant en contact au niveau de sa deuxième extrémité 221 avec le sol que ce soit pour l'opération d'enroulement ou pour tout déplacement.This rolling means 221 advantageously combines other functions. On the one hand, it offers a bearing point A rolling avoiding wear of the device. On the other hand, it facilitates the movement of the device outside its winding operation. Thus, to dispose the device D from its storage location to the tube end with which it will cooperate or the end of the tube to its storage location, this rolling means cooperates with the gripping means 211 equipping the
Pour faciliter le déplacement du dispositif D en position horizontale, ladite structure comprend des moyens de roulement 212 également au niveau de son extrémité 210 s'élevant au dessus du sol qui définissent le point d'appui B de cette extrémité avec le sol (cf figure 4). Ces moyens de roulement 212 ne sont plus en contact avec le sol lorsque l'extrémité 210 commence à s'élever, le point de contact B étant alors défini par le rouleau (cf figure 5).To facilitate the movement of the device D in a horizontal position, said structure comprises rolling means 212 also at its
Comme illustrée sur le dessin de la figure 6, ladite structure 200 constitue une plate-forme horizontale sur laquelle sont agencés les différents sous-ensembles nécessaires au fonctionnement du moyen d'entraînement 300 à savoir une batterie 400, un moteur 500, un réducteur 600 associé à un système de renvoi d'angle 700 mettant en mouvement en rotation selon un axe transversal le moyen d'entraînement 300 et en conséquence l'arbre moteur 310. Selon une conception particulièrement avantageuse, l'agencement des différents sous-ensembles a été conçu pour favoriser la présence des masses les plus importantes (batterie, moteur) au plus prés de l'axe autour duquel tourne le dispositif c'est à dire au plus prés de la deuxième extrémité 220. Pour ce faire et pour équilibrer cet agencement par rapport à la longueur fonctionnelle nécessaire du dispositif un axe de liaison 610 assure la liaison et comble l'écartement entre le réducteur 600 et le renvoi d'angle 700 qui, conformément à l'invention propose un arbre moteur 310 de chaque côté du dispositif D.As illustrated in the drawing of FIG. 6, said
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré illustré, l'arbre moteur est creux et préformé d'une section intérieure carrée. Le tube 110' devant être mis en mouvement est donc équipé d'une extrémité susceptible de coopérer avec un tel profil ou coopère avec une pièce intermédiaire assurant la fonction de joint entre l'arbre moteur 310 et le tube 110'.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated, the drive shaft is hollow and preformed with a square inner section. The tube 110 'to be set in motion is therefore equipped with an end capable of cooperating with such a profile or cooperating with an intermediate piece providing the function of joint between the
Les demandeurs ont constaté que l'enroulement se réalisait sans encombre et sans problème de décalage d'enroulement entre les deux extrémités du tube ou de positionnement dans la course du dispositif au fur et à mesure de l'enroulement.Applicants have found that the winding was carried out without hindrance and without problem of winding offset between the two ends of the tube or positioning in the stroke of the device as the winding.
Comme illustrée, pour protéger ces sous-ensembles fonctionnels, la plate forme s'associe à une coque /couvercle 230 assurant la fonction d'enceinte de protection autour des différents sous-ensembles. Bien entendu, cette coque est préformée d'au moins un orifice 231 autorisant l'accès au moyen moteur 300 contenu dans le dispositif D.
