Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an articulated protective cover for the upper surface of a pool or pond.
  • the present invention relates to a security means materializing in the form of a protective cover placed over the pool or pool, resting on or floating on the surface of the water.
  • these covers must be able to wrap in both directions because they are either immersed in a box, or mounted on a reel outside the basin on one of its short sides.
  • swimming pool covers are subject to other mechanical constraints than those encountered in the field of roller shutters.
  • the pool cover of this type must be designed to float, withstand a certain weight and resist the action of the water of pool and some of the products it contains.
  • the water can remain on the upper surface of the blades and cause drying whitish, unsightly limestone deposits and sign of chemical corrosion in the eyes and in the minds of the public.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these various disadvantages.
  • a swimming pool cover formed of elementary longitudinal modules connected to each other along junction-assembly lines, each longitudinal module being formed of at least one central rectilinear element and preferably two rectilinear elements. lateral, joined to each other by at least one of their longitudinal edge along a junction zone, each junction zone forming a linear pivot pivot located in the lower part and doubled a stop in the upper part.
  • each linear articulation of pivoting and abutment consists of two opposite edges each having in the upper part a linear conformation convex forehead coming into abutment contact and lower a linear joining strip of flexible material forming a joint of pivoting hinge type.
  • This original configuration of the blades according to the invention creates, when a localized force is applied perpendicularly to the cover, a self-locking effect by abutment contact of these facing curved fronts which particularly advantageously increases the rigidity of the cover. spreading this effort over several adjacent blades.
  • the lift of the cover is thus advantageously improved and the depression of it significantly reduced in the area of application of this effort.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a swimming pool 1 with a front end 2 whose water surface 3 is covered with a protective cover 4 according to the invention, wound on itself at the rear end of the swimming pool , for example on a drum 5.
  • This cover 4 for swimming pool according to the invention is formed of a succession of basic modules such as 6 assembled laterally at each of their longitudinal edges by means of assembly for example of the type forming a junction link 7 developing linearly.
  • each module of base 6 is composed of at least two rectilinear elements but preferably a central rectilinear element 8 in the form of a blade or batten of length substantially equal to the width of the pool and two lateral rectilinear junction elements 9 and 10 of the same length each ending laterally by a longitudinal edging of the edge whose linear conformation constitutes an assembly means making it possible to produce the lateral joint by means of assembly with the adjacent module and this by cooperation with the assembly conformation the corresponding edge edge of the corresponding adjacent side element of the adjacent base module.
  • the assembly conformations are complementary structures coming, for example, to interpenetrate, to engage each other, to cleave, to fit together or otherwise to join together in complementing each other to assemble in a definitive but separable manner, and thus to make the connection junction 7 between two adjacent base modules.
  • each basic module may have more than three elements and even more than one central element 8. There may even exist basic modules 6 of different models and sizes: some larger, some smaller.
  • junction links 7 of the basic modules are those shown in the accompanying figures and which will be described in detail below.
  • a longitudinal linear receiving cavity 11 of generally cylindrical shape that develops along the whole of this element.
  • This linear receptive cavity 11 opens on the side edge by a linear slot 12 succeeding a flat channel 13 delimited by two planes.
  • a conformation in the form of a bead or a solid cylinder 14 of assembly and retention that develops longitudinally at a distance along the edge of the corresponding lateral junction element.
  • This assembly bead 14 is connected to the edge of this lateral element by a connecting blade 15 of material perpendicular to this edge, serving as a link and allowing it to remain parallel and at a distance from said edge.
  • connection blade 15 of the bead 14 of assembly and retaining occupies with low clearance the volume delimited by the outlet channel 13 of the receiving cavity 11.
  • the basic module consists of the central rectilinear element 8 and the two lateral rectilinear junction elements 9 and 10 articulated to each other by a hinge 16, for example of the hinge type.
  • the rectilinear elements forming the cover 4 according to the invention are rectilinear longitudinal bodies of generally rectangular shape with an upper face such as 17 slightly convex so as to avoid the stagnation and then the drying of the pool water which may be present therein. following projections or others, even in the form of a simple film. Indeed, drying, swimming pool water can leave deposits of any kind forming for some whitish traces particularly unsightly and inducing a negative judgment on the quality of the components of the protective cover 4.
  • the central element 8 has a convex upper curved portion 17 having on the underside a lower central stiffening projection in the form of a rib 18 for example in the form of an edge.
  • the upper part of the central element 8 extends laterally on each side and along the latter by a longitudinal linear edge. Each of them is shaped from top to bottom according to a rounded flange 19 and 20 in flange each forming a lateral projecting abutment front intended to come into bearing and abutment contact with its opposite counterpart in order to achieve a self-locking function.
  • the longitudinal linear edge forms on each side a bottom return side wall 21 and 22.
  • the lateral junction elements 9 and 10 each also have, on one side only, the same rounded upper conformation 23 and 24 respectively, each forming a protruding abutment front and opposite that of the existing homologous part of each side along the upper part of the central element 8.
  • Each lateral junction element 9 and 10 has on its side along the central rectilinear element 8 a wall lateral return respectively 25 and 26 that form most of the longitudinal linear edge.
  • the lateral junction elements 9 and 10 differ according to their assembly conformation to the adjacent base module. They each have a complementary means of assembly, for example of the male and female type.
  • One of the lateral joining elements for example 9, has an outer border wall 27 extending downwards identical to the inner edge. This outer edge is extended laterally by the cylinder or bead 14 connecting and assembling.
  • the opposite side junction element 10 has a conformation with two branches 28 and 29 delimiting the cylindrical receptacle cavity 11 and its outlet flat channel 13 (FIG. 4).
  • the rectilinear elements 8, 9 and 10 composing the base module 6 of the pool cover 4 according to the invention are articulated together in the following manner.
  • the corresponding opposite lower edges of two adjacent elements are joined in their lower part and preferably over substantially the entire length of the corresponding central and lateral element by a linear joining strip 30 of flexible deformable material.
  • This joining strip 30 is integral along each of its longitudinal edges with a lower linear zone facing each edge in accordance with the representations in the various figures, thus forming the linear articulation 16 of the hinge type between the lower parts of the two adjacent rectilinear elements 8 and 9 or 8 and 10.
  • the general shape of the section of the joining strip 30 constituting the linear articulation 16 of the hinge type is preferably double-triangular in which the median zone serving as a fold is thinned.
  • this hinge-type flexible connecting strip can be applied hot or cold or coextruded at the time of manufacture of the base module as will be seen hereinafter.
  • This hinge joining strip 30 allows a tilting movement of the rectilinear elements together about a lower pivot axis, useful for wrapping the cover on a drum as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the pivoting tilting can be effected in the other direction until it stops against the other of the projecting upper flanges 19, 23 and 20, 24 arranged face to face on two adjacent elements for the configuration of self-locking.
  • the angular amplitude up to the stop is determined by the importance of projecting protrusion of the upper edges 19, 23 and 20, 24 opposite two adjacent elements.
  • This characteristic is fixed to the design because it is about geometric values, that is to say dimensional and forms.
  • the modules are assembled on site. It suffices to insert the assembly bead 14 into the linear receiving cavity 11 at one of its ends and slide it in and along it along its entire length.
  • an immobilization press or a weld for example by ultrasound or hot, or even a screw immobilization advantageously made of plastic.
  • the rectilinear elements or blades of the cover according to the invention are made by extrusion, for example from a cellular plastic material.
  • a cellular plastic material also called foamed or alveolar, advantageously allows to obtain full blades, but floating naturally due to their low density from the presence of trapped air.
  • blades could also be made by extrusion of the compact skin and filling in line or a posteriori by foam for example polyurethane.
  • the subject matter is sufficiently rigid, but can be cut or sawed easily according to the most diverse curves. This allows to cut cleanly the cover according to the exact shape of the inner perimeter of the pool, even if it has curved parts as often in the case of access stairs.
  • FIG. 1 A typical swimming pool case 1 with a rounded forward end has been shown in Figure 1.
  • the targeted materials are of the extruded foamed synthetic products type and can be diverse as long as they are suitable for the intended application.
  • foamed PVC or foamed polypropylene may be mentioned.
  • the outer surface can be processed mechanically just after extrusion to close it peripherally and give it a smooth, continuous appearance.
  • This skin of compact material may, depending on the variants, cover the entire outer surface of the blade or only part thereof.
  • the skin has been applied only to the upper part and the lateral parts of the blades according to the invention, this area being in fact the one most exposed to mechanical forces.
  • This skin also provides better resistance to ultraviolet rays and provides a better grip surface for the flexible hinge.
  • the hinge band 30, made for example of polyurethane, is formed by coextrusion or over-extrusion.
