Description

L'invention concerne un volet flottant, en particulier pour un bassin, ainsi qu'un bassin équipé d'un tel volet flottant.The invention relates to a floating flap, in particular for a pool, and a pool equipped with such a floating flap.

Il est connu de réaliser un volet flottant comprenant un ensemble de panneaux mobiles adjacents, articulés entre eux selon un axe perpendiculaire au sens de déroulement du volet flottant.It is known to provide a floating flap comprising a set of adjacent movable panels articulated together along an axis perpendicular to the direction of unwinding of the floating flap.

Le volet flottant peut être disposé au-dessus du plan d'eau afin de couvrir l'ensemble de la surface de liquide libre du bassin et est associé à un dispositif d'enroulement permettant d'enrouler et de dérouler le volet flottant. Les panneaux mobiles adjacents articulés entre eux sont disposés de manière à pouvoir former un ensemble continu de couverture lorsque la translation des panneaux flottants ne rencontre pas d'obstacles ou d'irrégularités.The floating flap may be disposed above the water surface to cover the entire free liquid surface of the pool and is associated with a winding device for winding and unrolling the floating flap. The adjacent movable panels articulated together are arranged so as to form a continuous set of cover when the translation of the floating panels does not encounter obstacles or irregularities.

Un tel système de couverture est utilisable lorsque le bassin à couvrir présente des points de la surface de liquide qui peuvent être atteints par la surface de liquide du bassin en ligne droite selon une direction parallèle au sens de déroulement à partir du dispositif de déroulement.Such a cover system is usable when the pool to be covered has points of the liquid surface that can be reached by the liquid surface of the pool in a straight line in a direction parallel to the direction of unwinding from the unwinding device.

Il est connu du document EP1726746 de disposer des moyens de réglage de la largeur des panneaux de façon préalable à leur utilisation.It is known from the document EP1726746 to have means for adjusting the width of the panels prior to their use.

Toutefois, lorsque le bassin à couvrir présente des points de la surface de liquide qui ne peuvent pas être atteints en ligne droite par la surface du bassin selon une direction parallèle au sens de déroulement à partir du dispositif d'enroulement du volet flottant, la translation du volet flottant sur la surface libre de liquide du bassin ne permet pas de couvrir l'ensemble du bassin. Ce phénomène est par exemple rencontré lorsqu'un des bords du bassin situé parallèlement au sens de déroulement du volet flottant présente une extension latérale comprenant un escalier ou une zone de repos ou encore lorsque le bassin présente une forme de tonneau ou évasée.However, when the pool to be covered has points of the liquid surface that can not be reached in a straight line by the surface of the pool in a direction parallel to the direction of unwinding from the winding device of the floating flap, the translation Floating shutter on the free liquid surface of the basin does not cover the entire basin. This phenomenon is for example encountered when one of the edges of the pool located parallel to the direction of unwinding of the floating flap has a lateral extension comprising a staircase or a rest area or when the basin has a barrel-shaped or flared shape.

Le domaine d'utilisation d'un volet flottant est donc limité par la forme des bassins à couvrir.The field of use of a floating shutter is thus limited by the shape of the basins to be covered.

La présente invention vise à résoudre ces inconvénients en proposant un volet flottant permettant de s'adapter à des formes de bassin à couvrir possédant des zones latterales non accessibles par la surface de liquide du bassin en ligne droite selon une direction parallèle au sens d'enroulement à partir du dispositif de déroulement.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a floating flap for adapting to basin shapes to cover having bottom regions not accessible by the liquid surface of the basin in a straight line in a direction parallel to the winding direction. from the unwinding device.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un volet flottant du type précité caractérisé en ce qu'au moins un panneau comporte à une extrémité latérale une partie de couverture additionnelle destinée à être déployée latéralement par rapport au panneau, la partie de couverture additionnelle étant mobile entre une première position où la partie additionnelle est positionnée sur le panneau qui la comporte et une seconde position où la partie additionnelle est déployée latéralement par rapport au panneau.For this purpose, the invention relates to a floating shutter of the aforementioned type characterized in that at least one panel has at one lateral end an additional cover portion intended to be deployed laterally. relative to the panel, the additional cover part being movable between a first position where the additional part is positioned on the panel which has it and a second position where the additional part is deployed laterally with respect to the panel.

Ce volet flottant permet de couvrir l'ensemble de la surface d'un bassin, même lorsque le bassin à couvrir présente des points de la surface de liquide qui ne peuvent pas être atteints en ligne droite par la surface du bassin selon une direction parallèle au sens de déroulement à partir du dispositif d'enroulement. Il est ainsi possible d'enrouler et de dérouler le volet flottant ainsi que de déployer la partie de couverture additionnelle afin de couvrir l'ensemble de la surface du bassin.This floating flap makes it possible to cover the entire surface of a pool, even when the pool to be covered has points on the surface of the liquid that can not be reached in a straight line by the surface of the pool in a direction parallel to the direction of unwinding from the winding device. It is thus possible to wind and unwind the floating flap and to deploy the additional portion of coverage to cover the entire surface of the pool.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la portion de la partie de couverture additionnelle est déployée latéralement par des moyens de translation.According to one embodiment, the portion of the additional cover portion is deployed laterally by translation means.

Préférentiellement, les moyens de pivotement comprennent une charnière.Preferably, the pivoting means comprise a hinge.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le panneau comportant à une première extrémité latérale une partie de couverture additionnelle qui comporte à sa deuxième extrémité latérale un moyen de compensation de la surépaisseur créée par la partie de couverture additionnelle repliée sur le panneau mobile lorsque les panneaux mobiles sont enroulés de sorte que l'épaisseur entre deux couches successives de l'enroulement du volet flottant soit uniforme sur la longueur des panneaux.According to one characteristic of the invention, the panel comprising at a first lateral end an additional portion of cover which has at its second lateral end means for compensating for the extra thickness created by the additional cover part folded on the movable panel when the panels The rollers are wound so that the thickness between two successive layers of the winding of the floating shutter is uniform over the length of the panels.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le moyen de compensation est une cale de rattrapage de surépaisseur.According to one embodiment, the compensation means is a wedge of overthickening catch.

Avantageusement, la partie de couverture additionnelle comporte plusieurs portions reliées chacune à l'extrémité d'un panneau, la partie de couverture additionnelle comportant un système de jonction entre deux portions de la partie de couverture additionnelles juxtaposées reliés à l'extrémité latérale des panneaux successifs.Advantageously, the additional covering part comprises several portions each connected to the end of a panel, the additional covering part comprising a junction system between two portions of the additional cover part juxtaposed connected to the lateral end of successive panels .

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le système de jonction permet un jeu entre les deux portions de parties de couverture additionnelles juxtaposées lors de l'enroulement du volet flottant.According to a feature of the invention, the junction system allows a clearance between the two portions of additional cover portions juxtaposed during the winding of the floating flap.

Il est ainsi possible d'enrouler le volet flottant sans créer une contrainte importante au niveau des articulations que comporte le volet flottant. Deux couches successives solidaires peuvent être enroulées sans contrainte sur leur système de jonction.It is thus possible to wind the floating flap without creating a significant constraint at the joints that includes the floating flap. Two successive layers of solidarity can be wound without stress on their joining system.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les extrémités du panneau et les extrémités de la partie de couverture additionnelle articulée comportent un bouchon présentant des moyens de fixation.According to one embodiment, the ends of the panel and the ends of the additional articulated cover portion comprise a cap having fastening means.

Avantageusement, les moyens de fixation comprennent des moyens de clipsage.Advantageously, the fixing means comprise clipping means.

Cette caractéristique permet un montage simple et rapide pour l'utilisateur en évitant le risque de dégrader l'étanchéité des panneaux flottants. Cette caractéristique facilite en outre les opérations de maintenance.This feature allows a quick and easy assembly for the user avoiding the risk of degrading the sealing of floating panels. This feature also facilitates maintenance operations.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la partie de couverture additionnelle comporte une partie souple.According to one embodiment, the additional cover portion comprises a flexible portion.

L'invention concerne en outre un bassin rempli de liquide muni d'un volet flottant selon l'invention, la surface libre de liquide du bassin présentant au moins une zone qui ne peut être atteinte en ligne droite selon une direction parallèle au sens de déroulement du volet à partir d'un dispositif d'enroulement du volet flottant, la partie de couverture additionnelle étant destinée à recouvrir au moins la dite zone du bassin après le déroulement du volet flottant et le déploiement de la partie de couverture additionnelle.The invention further relates to a basin filled with liquid provided with a floating flap according to the invention, the liquid-free surface of the basin having at least one zone that can not be reached in a straight line in a direction parallel to the direction of unwinding the shutter from a winding device of the floating shutter, the additional covering portion being intended to cover at least the said pelvic area after the unwinding of the floating shutter and the deployment of the additional cover part.

La partie male 9 est située sur une face d'appui 16, 17 de la charnière et comporte deux languettes 9 qui s'étendent perpendiculairement par rapport à la direction longitudinale des portions 8a et 8b de la charnière 8.The male part 9 is situated on a bearing surface 16, 17 of the hinge and comprises two tongues 9 which extend perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the portions 8a and 8b of the hinge 8.

La partie femelle 14 est située sur le bouchon 12, 15 à l'extrémité de la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 auquel on souhaite fixer une charnière et comporte deux logements 14 de forme complémentaire aux deux languettes 9 de manière à ce que les languettes 9 de la partie male 9, 16, 17 puissent s'insérer dans la partie femelle 14 du bouchon 12, 15. Une telle disposition permet de fixer le bouchon 12, 15 et la charnière 8.The female part 14 is situated on the plug 12, 15 at the end of the additional cover part 6 to which it is desired to fix a hinge and comprises two housings 14 of complementary shape to the two tongues 9 so that the tongues 9 of the male part 9, 16, 17 can be inserted in the female part 14 of the plug 12, 15. Such an arrangement makes it possible to fix the plug 12, 15 and the hinge 8.

Les charnières sont réversibles et peuvent être disposées suivant le besoin à l'extrémité d'un panneau 3 ou d'une partie additionnelle de couverture 6.The hinges are reversible and can be arranged as needed at the end of a panel 3 or an additional portion of cover 6.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la fixation entre le bouchon 12, 15 et la charnière 8 se fait par des moyens de clipsage.According to one embodiment, the fixing between the plug 12, 15 and the hinge 8 is by clipping means.

La disposition de la charnière 8 permet de rendre mobile la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 entre une première position où la partie additionnelle 6 est repliée sur le panneau 3 qui la comporte et une seconde position où la partie additionnelle 6 est déployée latéralement par rapport au panneau 3. Le repliement des parties de couverture additionnelle 6 permet d'enrouler le volet flottant.The provision of the hinge 8 makes it possible to make the additional cover part 6 mobile between a first position where the part additional 6 is folded over the panel 3 which has it and a second position where the additional part 6 is deployed laterally with respect to the panel 3. The folding of the additional cover parts 6 allows to wind the floating flap.

La Figure 2 représente un fragment d'un volet flottant 1 enroulé comportant deux panneaux 3 et quatre parties de couverture additionnelle 6 en position repliée.The Figure 2 represents a fragment of a wrapped flap 1 comprising two panels 3 and four additional cover portions 6 in the folded position.

Un système de jonction 18 est positionné entre deux parties de couverture additionnelles 6 juxtaposées. Le système de jonction 18 comprend une bande réalisée en un matériau rigide. Selon des variantes, la bande est réalisée en un matériau élastique ou en un matériau souple. La bande est fixée suivant les bords longitudinaux des parties de couverture additionnelle 6 qui sont en vis-à-vis. Le système de jonction 18 est destiné à laisser un jeu suffisant entre les deux parties de couverture additionnelles 6 juxtaposées lors de l'enroulement du volet flottant. Le système de jonction est destiné à éliminer toute contrainte sur les charnières et sur les panneaux due à l'enroulement de deux couches solidaires superposées pouvant conduire à un endommagement ou une rupture de leur structure.A junction system 18 is positioned between two additional cover portions 6 juxtaposed. The joining system 18 comprises a strip made of a rigid material. According to variants, the band is made of an elastic material or a flexible material. The strip is fixed along the longitudinal edges of the additional cover portions 6 which are opposite each other. The junction system 18 is intended to leave sufficient clearance between the two additional cover portions 6 juxtaposed during the winding of the floating flap. The joining system is intended to eliminate any stress on the hinges and on the panels due to the winding of two superimposed integral layers that can lead to damage or breakage of their structure.

Comme représenté sur la Figure 3, lorsque le panneau 3 du volet flottant 1 comporte à une première extrémité latérale une partie de couverture additionnelle 6 et ne comporte pas à sa deuxième extrémité latérale une partie de couverture additionnelle 6, un moyen de compensation 20 est positionné à la deuxième extrémité du panneau 3 du volet flottant 1.As shown on the Figure 3 when the panel 3 of the floating shutter 1 has at one lateral end an additional cover portion 6 and does not have at its second lateral end an additional cover portion 6, a compensation means 20 is positioned at the second end of the panel 3 of the floating shutter 1.

Le moyen de compensation 20 est constitué par une cale de forme cylindrique disposée sur le bord de l'extrémité du panneau 3 de la couche successive du volet flottant 1 et sur laquelle vient prendre appui le panneau 3 du volet flottant. Le bouchon 15 est adapté pour permettre une fixation aisée de la cale sur le panneau 3 flottant.The compensation means 20 is constituted by a cylindrical wedge disposed on the edge of the end of the panel 3 of the successive layer of the floating flap 1 and on which bears the panel 3 of the floating flap. The cap 15 is adapted to allow easy attachment of the shim on the floating panel 3.

Le moyen de compensation 20 est destiné à compenser la surépaisseur créée par la partie de couverture additionnelle articulée repliée sur le panneau mobile lorsque les panneaux mobiles sont enroulés de sorte que l'épaisseur entre deux couches successives de l'enroulement du volet flottant soit uniforme sur la longueur des panneaux. En variante, le volet flottant comporte au besoin des cales intermédiaires rajoutées sur la longueur du panneau 3 pour compenser un cintre trop important des couches supérieures.The compensating means 20 is intended to compensate for the extra thickness created by the hinged additional hedging part folded onto the movable panel when the movable panels are wound so that the thickness between two successive layers of the winding of the floating flap is uniform on the length of the panels. In a variant, the floating flap comprises, if necessary, intermediate shims added along the length of the panel 3 to compensate for an excessive hanger of the upper layers.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la portion de la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 est déployée latéralement par des moyens de translation.According to one embodiment, the portion of the additional cover portion 6 is deployed laterally by translation means.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 est une partie souple destinée à être fixée entre les panneaux 3 du volet flottant et les bords du bassin.According to another embodiment, the additional cover portion 6 is a flexible portion intended to be fixed between the panels 3 of the floating flap and the edges of the pool.

Les Figure 8, 9, 10 et 11 représentent les différentes étapes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.The Figure 8, 9 , 10 and 11 represent the various stages of implementation of the invention.

Comme représenté sur la Figure 8, le bassin représenté est muni d'un volet flottant 1 enroulé et d'un dispositif de déroulement 22. La surface libre de liquide du bassin est décomposée en deux zones, Z1 et Z2. La zone Z1 est une zone accessible pouvant être atteinte en ligne droite selon une direction parallèle au sens de déroulement du volet flottant 1 à partir d'un dispositif d'enroulement 22 et la zone Z2 est une zone non accessible pour un volet selon l'état de la technique ne pouvant être atteinte en ligne droite selon une direction parallèle au sens de déroulement du volet flottant 1 à partir d'un dispositif d'enroulement 22. La largeur des panneaux 3 du volet flottant 1 est ajustée à la largeur de la zone accessible Z1.As shown on the Figure 8 , the basin shown is provided with a wound shutter 1 wound and a unwinding device 22. The free liquid surface of the basin is decomposed into two zones, Z1 and Z2. The zone Z1 is an accessible zone that can be reached in a straight line in a direction parallel to the direction of unwinding of the floating shutter 1 from a winding device 22 and the zone Z2 is an inaccessible zone for a shutter according to FIG. state of the art can not be reached in a straight line in a direction parallel to the direction of unwinding of the floating flap 1 from a winding device 22. The width of the panels 3 of the floating flap 1 is adjusted to the width of the accessible zone Z1.

Ensuite, comme représenté à la Figure 9, le volet flottant 1 se déroule librement sur la surface du bassin jusqu'à recouvrir l'ensemble de la zone accessible Z1, comme représenté à la Figure 10, la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 étant alors en vis-à-vis avec la zone Z2. La partie de couverture additionnelle 6 est déployée afin de recouvrir la zone Z2, comme représenté à la Figure 11.Then, as shown in Figure 9 , the floating shutter 1 runs freely on the surface of the basin until covering the whole of the accessible zone Z1, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 , the additional cover portion 6 then being in facing relation with the zone Z2. The additional cover portion 6 is deployed to cover the area Z2, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 .

Selon un mode de réalisation non représenté, la portion de la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 est déployée latéralement par des moyens de translation.According to an embodiment not shown, the portion of the additional cover portion 6 is deployed laterally by translation means.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation non représentée, la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 comporte une partie souple destinée à être déployée et fixée entre au moins un panneaux 3 du volet flottant et les bords du bassin.According to another embodiment not shown, the additional cover portion 6 comprises a flexible portion intended to be deployed and fixed between at least one panel 3 of the floating flap and the edges of the basin.

Selon une variante, la partie de couverture additionnelle 6 peut être constituée de plusieurs éléments mobiles les uns par rapport aux autres.Alternatively, the additional cover portion 6 may consist of several movable elements relative to each other.

Selon une autre variante, les panneaux 3 et les parties additionnelles 6 sont réalisés dans un même matériau. Ces dispositions permettent d'obtenir pour l'ensemble du volet 1 des caractéristiques physiques homogènes telles qu'une résistance homogène et un même comportement lors du vieillissement du volet flottant 1. Ces dispositions permettent de plus d'obtenir un ensemble homogène en forme et en couleur.According to another variant, the panels 3 and the additional parts 6 are made of the same material. These arrangements make it possible to obtain for the whole of component 1 homogeneous physical characteristics such as uniform resistance and the same behavior when aging of the flap 1. These provisions also allow to obtain a uniform set in shape and color.
