Les éléments d'abri de piscine relevable de ce type, dans la technique antérieure, sont monoblocs et livrés pré montés ou destinés à être montés par des professionnels sur place.The pool cover elements of this type, in the prior art, are monobloc and delivered pre-mounted or to be mounted by professionals on site.
Les éléments monoblocs pré montés en usine impliquent une logistique de transport coûteuse, compte tenu des volumes desdits éléments qui s'étendent sur une largeur d'en général plus de 4 mètres et jusqu'à 7 mètres en fonction de la largeur des piscines, et sur des distances, dans la direction longitudinale de la piscine, d'en général 1 à 2 mètres. D'autre part, leur profil, le cas échéant leur cintrage, représentent également une hauteur de 1 à 2 mètres, ce qui au total, lors du transport, requiert des volumes et des poids transportés importants.The pre-assembled monoblock elements imply an expensive transport logistics, given the volumes of said elements which extend over a width of generally more than 4 meters and up to 7 meters depending on the width of the pools, and over distances, in the longitudinal direction of the pool, usually 1 to 2 meters. On the other hand, their profile, where appropriate bending, also represent a height of 1 to 2 meters, which in total, during transport, requires volumes and transported significant weight.
Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un abri de piscine relevable, livrable en pièces détachées, sous forme de kit (ensemble pré à monter) formant un volume global total compact avant assemblage, et assemblable facilement par une personne non qualifiée sur le site d'implantation.The object of the present invention is to provide a lift pool cover, available as spare parts, in the form of a kit (pre-assembled set) forming a total overall compact volume before assembly, and easily assembled by a non-qualified person on the site implantation.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de fournir un abri dont les éléments d'abri, une fois montés, sont facilement dé assemblables l'un par rapport à l'autre, et stockable à l'écart de la piscine pour une découverture complète aisée de celle-ci. Selon ce but de l'invention, les éléments d'abri doivent être facilement montables et facilement assemblables en juxtaposition, et dé- assemblables en cours d'utilisation de la piscine.Another object of the present invention is to provide a shelter whose shelter elements, once mounted, are easily unassemblable relative to each other, and storable away from the pool for a complete stripping easy of it. According to this object of the invention, the shelter elements must be easily mountable and easily assembled in juxtaposition, and dismountable during use of the pool.
Pour ce faire, la présente invention fournit un abri de piscine constitué d'éléments d'abri juxtaposés, assemblés cote à cote, dans la direction longitudinale de la piscine, de préférence de 3 à 10, de préférence encore de 4 à 6 éléments d'abris, chaque élément d'abri s'étendant transversalement en forme d'arche, de manière à recouvrir le bassin de la piscine sur toute sa largeur, entre ses deux bords d'appui longitudinaux reposant respectivement sur le sol ou la plage entourant les deux bords longitudinaux opposés du bassin de la piscine, dont au moins un desdits bords d'appui longitudinaux est monté apte à être articulé en rotation sur lui-même de manière à pouvoir entrouvrir ledit élément d'abri, et dont l'autre bord d'appui longitudinal dudit élément d'abri est, de préférence, apte à coopérer avec un dispositif de relevage, tel qu'une béquille, apte à permettre le maintien en position relevée dudit autre bord d'appui de l'élément d'abri lorsque ledit élément d'abri est entrouvert par une articulation en rotation d'un de ses bords longitudinaux d'appui.To do this, the present invention provides a pool enclosure consisting of juxtaposed shelter elements, assembled side by side, in the longitudinal direction of the pool, preferably from 3 to 10, more preferably from 4 to 6 elements of the pool. shelter, each shelter element extending transversely in the form of an arch, so as to cover the pool basin over its entire width, between its two longitudinal bearing edges respectively resting on the ground or the beach surrounding the two opposite longitudinal edges of the pool basin, at least one of said longitudinal bearing edges is mounted capable of being articulated in rotation on itself so as to open said shelter element, and the other edge of longitudinal support of said shelter element is preferably adapted to cooperate with a lifting device, such as a crutch, suitable for allowing the said support element to remain in the raised position of the said other support edge when the said shelter element is ajar by a hinge in rotation with one of its longitudinal bearing edges.
Selon la présente invention, chaque élément d'abri est constitué des pièces suivantes démontables:
- deux pièces d'appui, avec une pièce d'appui à chaque extrémité dudit élément d'abri dans la direction transversale de la piscine, chaque dite pièce d'appui comprenant un bord inférieur longitudinal correspondant audit bord d'appui longitudinal du dit élément d'abri, reposant sur le sol ou la plage entourant la piscine,
- une pièce centrale constituant le faîtage de l'élément d'abri, dite pièce de faîtage, les deux pièces d'appui étant disposées symétriquement par rapport à ladite pièce de faîtage,
- au moins deux paires de profilés, chaque dite pièce d'appui étant reliée à ladite pièce de faîtage par au moins deux profilés, lesdits profilés délimitant les bords transversaux dudit élément d'abri, lesdits profilés étant fixés aux dites pièce de faîtage et pièce d'appui de manière réversible, de préférence par emmanchement de l'extrémité desdits profilés et, de préférence encore, vissage dans des logements creux desdites pièce d'appui et pièce de faîtage, et

Chaque élément d'abri est assemblé à un autre élément d'abri adjacent, de manière sensiblement étanche, par simple chevauchement de leurs bords transversaux dont un bord transversal de l'un comprend une bordure externe formant gouttière, chevauchée par la bordure externe formant retenue de l'autre bord transversal d'un autre élément d'abri adjacent. Ainsi, on empêche une séparation dans la direction longitudinale des deux éléments d'abri juxtaposés dont les bordures se chevauchent, tout en assurant une étanchéité entre lesdits éléments d'abri juxtaposés.Each shelter element is assembled to another adjacent shelter element, in a substantially watertight manner, by simply overlapping their transverse edges, a transverse edge of which comprises an external gutter rim, overlapped by the outer edge forming a restraint. from the other transverse edge of another adjacent shelter element. Thus, separation in the longitudinal direction is prevented two juxtaposed shelter elements whose edges overlap, while ensuring a seal between said juxtaposed shelter elements.
On entend ici par "étanche" que l'eau déversée sur la face supérieure extérieure de l'abri ne pénètre pas à l'intérieur de l'abri.Here is meant by "waterproof" that water discharged on the outer upper surface of the shelter does not penetrate inside the shelter.
On comprend que :
- chaque dit élément d'abri peut être entrouvert par pivotement par rapport à un de ses bords d'appui longitudinaux, c'est-à-dire par rotation selon un axe de rotation dans la dite direction longitudinale situé sensiblement au niveau sol entourant le bassin de la piscine, l'autre bord d'appui longitudinal se trouvant alors en position relevée par rapport à la plage entourant la piscine, c'est à dire de manière à pouvoir découvrir partiellement le bassin, et
- les dites pièces d'appui et pièce de faîtage s'étendent sur toute la longueur du dit élément d'abri dans la direction longitudinale de la piscine, et
- chaque profilé s'étend dans un plan transversal au bassin, et coopère par fixation réversible à une extrémité avec un bord supérieur longitudinal d'une pièce d'appui, à une extrémité du dit bord supérieur longitudinal de la pièce d'appui, l'autre extrémité du profilé coopérant par fixation réversible avec la pièce de faîtage.
- each said shelter element may be half-open by pivoting relative to one of its longitudinal bearing edges, that is to say by rotation along an axis of rotation in the said longitudinal direction situated substantially at the ground level surrounding the basin of the pool, the other longitudinal support edge then being in raised position relative to the beach surrounding the pool, that is to say so as to partially discover the pool, and
- said support pieces and ridge piece extend over the entire length of said shelter element in the longitudinal direction of the pool, and
- each section extends in a plane transverse to the basin, and cooperates by reversible attachment at one end with a longitudinal upper edge of a support piece, at one end of said longitudinal upper edge of the support piece, the another end of the section cooperating by reversible attachment with the ridge piece.
De préférence, ledit abri comprend deux rails ou glissières disposés sur le sol ou la plage entourant la piscine, rails ou glissières sur ou dans lesquels lesdits bords inférieurs des pièces d'appui sont maintenus en position longitudinale et sont aptes à être fixés et bloqués en rotation et translation longitudinale de façon réversible, de préférence grâce à des éléments de blocage amovibles et/ou déplaçables.Preferably, said shelter comprises two rails or slides arranged on the ground or the beach surrounding the pool, rails or slides on or in which said lower edges of the support pieces are held in longitudinal position and are able to be fixed and locked in position. rotation and longitudinal translation in a reversible manner, preferably by means of removable and / or movable locking elements.
Plus particulièrement, lesdits profilés comportent une rainure formant feuillure, et les bords longitudinaux supérieurs des pièces d'appui et bords longitudinaux des pièce de faîtage comportent des rainures formant feuillure, de manière à ce que deux plaques transparentes ou translucides, de préférence en polycarbonate alvéolé, puissent y être insérées et maintenues en position.More particularly, said profiles comprise a rabbet groove, and the upper longitudinal edges of the support pieces and longitudinal edges of the ridge parts comprise grooves. forming a rebate, so that two transparent or translucent plates, preferably honeycomb polycarbonate, can be inserted and held in position.
Chaque élément d'abri est donc constitué de seulement 3 types de pièces différentes, à savoir les deux pièces d'appui de forme générale sensiblement identique, disposées symétriquement et aptes à être empilées l'une sur l'autre, les au moins 2 profilés de forme sensiblement identique disposés symétriquement deux à deux et aptes à être empilés les uns contre les autres, ainsi qu'une unique pièce de faîtage, et, bien que chaque élément comporte au moins 7 pièces, elles peuvent se grouper en 3 catégories de pièces sensiblement de même forme dans chaque catégorie, les différentes pièces de chaque catégorie pouvant être empilées les unes contre les autres, de manière à être présentées dans un conditionnement réduit.Each shelter element is therefore composed of only 3 different types of parts, namely the two support parts of generally identical shape, arranged symmetrically and able to be stacked one on the other, the at least 2 profiles of substantially identical shape arranged symmetrically two by two and able to be stacked against each other, and a single ridge piece, and although each element has at least 7 pieces, they can be grouped into 3 categories of parts substantially of the same shape in each category, the different pieces of each category can be stacked against each other, so as to be presented in a reduced package.
Ce nombre réduit de pièces constitutives de chaque élément d'abri comprend également le montage des différents éléments d'abri et le montage de l'abri relativement aisé par un personnel non qualifié.This reduced number of component parts of each shelter element also includes mounting the various shelter elements and mounting the shelter relatively easy by unqualified personnel.
De préférence, les pièces les plus volumineuses, à savoir lesdites pièces d'appui et pièces de faîtage, sont réalisées en matière plastique qui confère une rigidité suffisante, compte tenu de la forme desdites pièces, et leur confère un poids réduit, seuls les profilés étant réalisés en métal, de préférence en aluminium pour conférer une meilleure rigidité.Preferably, the largest pieces, namely said supporting pieces and ridge pieces, are made of plastic material which gives sufficient rigidity, taking into account the shape of said pieces, and gives them a reduced weight, only the profiles being made of metal, preferably aluminum to impart better rigidity.
Plus particulièrement, lesdites pièces d'appui et pièce de faîtage présentent des logements creux dans lesquels peuvent s'emmancher les extrémités desdits profilés.More particularly, said support pieces and ridge piece have hollow housings in which can be fitted the ends of said profiles.
On comprend que lesdits logements creux s'étendent transversalement aux bords longitudinaux desdites pièces d'appui et pièces de faîtage et débouchent sur ceux-ci.It is understood that said hollow housing extend transversely to the longitudinal edges of said support members and ridge pieces and open thereon.
Avantageusement, lesdits logements creux comportent des perforations latérales, permettant de coopérer avec des vis pour la fixation des extrémités des profilés dans lesdits logements creux.Advantageously, said hollow recesses comprise lateral perforations, making it possible to cooperate with screws for fixing the ends of the profiles in said hollow recesses.
Plus particulièrement encore, lesdites pièces de faîtage et pièces d'appui sont constituées d'une coque en matière plastique roto-moulée, remplie d'une mousse de rigidification.More particularly, said ridge pieces and support pieces consist of a roto-molded plastic shell, filled with a stiffening foam.

Les extrémités bout à bout de deux profilés métalliques, de préférence en aluminium, sont fixées l'une à l'autre par emmanchement dans les deux ouvertures opposées d'un même fourreau métallique et ladite pièce de faîtage, de par sa forme, permet de couvrir et, ainsi, guider et maintenir en position parallèle les deux fourreaux assurant la jonction respectivement des deux paires de profilés.The end-to-end ends of two metal profiles, preferably made of aluminum, are fastened to each other by fitting into the two opposite openings of one and the same metal sheath, and said ridge piece, by its shape, makes it possible to cover and, thus, guide and maintain in parallel position the two sleeves ensuring the junction respectively of the two pairs of profiles.
On comprend que les fourreaux ont une section, dans la direction longitudinale du bassin, de forme sensiblement identique à la section desdits profilés, de sorte que lesdites extrémités desdits fourreaux peuvent s'emmancher à l'intérieur des profilés, ceux-ci étant maintenus en position à l'intérieur des fourreaux (Il s'agit ici de la section transversale des profilés, c'est-à-dire dans la direction longitudinale de la piscine).It is understood that the sleeves have a section, in the longitudinal direction of the basin, of substantially identical shape to the section of said profiles, so that said ends of said sleeves can slip inside the profiles, these being maintained in position inside the sleeves (This is the cross section of the profiles, that is to say in the longitudinal direction of the pool).
Plus particulièrement, ladite pièce de faîtage comprend des bords d'extrémité s'étendant dans la direction transversale, appelés bords transversaux, formant des demi coques venant recouvrir lesdits fourreaux métalliques.More particularly, said ridge piece comprises end edges extending in the transverse direction, called transverse edges, forming half-shells covering said metal sleeves.
Chaque dit élément d'abri et dit profilé présentent, en section transversale, un profil cintré courbe cintré ou angulaire à pans coupés, au moins en partie, c'est-à-dire avec des portions courbes cintrées et/ou, respectivement, droites et disposées angulairement.Each said shelter element and said profile have, in cross section, a curved curved curved or angular profile with cut sides, at least in part, that is to say with curved curved portions and / or, respectively, straight and arranged angularly.
Avantageusement encore, les pièces d'appui forment des parois latérales comprenant au moins une partie verticale ou inclinée d'un angle α1 supérieur à 60° par rapport à l'horizontal, de telle sorte que le bord supérieur longitudinal desdites pièces d'appui soit situé à une hauteur par rapport à son bord inférieur longitudinal lorsque ledit élément d'abri est en position de couverture de la piscine, représentant au moins un tiers, de préférence au moins la moitié de la différence de niveau entre le bord inférieur desdites pièces d'appui et le bord longitudinal de la pièce de faîtage, à savoir au moins un tiers, de préférence au moins la moitié de sensiblement la hauteur totale dudit élément d'abri, les profilés présentent plusieurs sections rectilignes inclinées chacune par rapport à l'horizontal d'un angle différent et décroissant depuis la section du profilé du coté de sa fixation à ladite pièce d'appui, jusqu'à la section du profilé du coté de sa fixation à ladite pièce de faîtage, l'angle maximal α2 de la section du profilé du coté de sa fixation à ladite pièce d'appui étant inférieur à 45°, de préférence inférieur à 30°, lorsque ledit élément d'abri est assemblé et en position de couverture de la piscine.Advantageously, the support pieces form lateral walls comprising at least one vertical or inclined portion of an angle α1 greater than 60 ° with respect to the horizontal, so that the longitudinal upper edge of said support pieces is situated at a height from its longitudinal lower edge when said shelter element is in pool cover position, representing at least one third, preferably at least half of the difference in level between the lower edge of said parts of the pool, support and the longitudinal edge of the ridge piece, namely at least one third, preferably at least half of substantially the total height of said shelter element, the profiles have several rectilinear sections each inclined relative to the horizontal a different angle and decreasing from the section of the profile on the side of its attachment to said support piece, to the section of the profile of the side its attachment to said ridge piece, the maximum angle α2 of the section of the profile on the side of its attachment to said support piece being less than 45 °, preferably less than 30 °, when said shelter element is assembled and in cover position of the pool.
Plus particulièrement encore, lesdites pièces d'appui comportent une partie inférieure comprenant ledit bord inférieur de la pièce d'appui, formant une paroi latérale s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan verticale ou faiblement incliné d'un angle α1 supérieur à 60° par rapport à l'horizontal, et une partie supérieure comprenant le bord supérieur de la pièce d'appui coopérant avec lesdits profilés, ladite partie supérieure s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan incliné d'un angle α2 inférieur à 45°, de préférence inférieur à 30° par rapport à l'horizontal.More particularly still, said support pieces comprise a lower part comprising said lower edge of the support piece, forming a lateral wall extending substantially in a vertical plane or slightly inclined by an angle α1 greater than 60.degree. horizontally, and an upper part comprising the upper edge of the support part cooperating with said profiles, said upper part extending substantially in a plane inclined at an angle α2 less than 45 °, preferably less than 30 ° relative to the horizontal.
On comprend que :
- l'angle entre les plans dans lesquels s'étendent lesdites parties supérieure et inférieure est supérieur à 90° et inférieur à 150°, de préférence de 120 à 150°, et
- ladite partie supérieure de ladite pièce d'appui forme, avec les profilés, pièce de faîtage et plaque transparente, la toiture de l'abri entre les deux parois latérales que constituent les parties inférieures de la pièce d'appui.
- the angle between the planes in which said upper and lower portions extend is greater than 90 ° and less than 150 °, preferably 120 to 150 °, and
- said upper part of said support piece forms, with the profiles, ridge piece and transparent plate, the roof of the shelter between the two side walls that constitute the lower parts of the support piece.
Plus particulièrement, la pièce de faîtage s'étend dans un plan sensiblement horizontal.More particularly, the ridge piece extends in a substantially horizontal plane.
De préférence, les profilés métalliques ont un profil en section transversale, formant au moins deux pans coupés, de préférence au moins trois pans coupés.Preferably, the metal profiles have a cross sectional profile, forming at least two cut faces, preferably at least three cut faces.
La forme en pans coupés desdits profilés, lorsqu'ils sont métalliques, permet de les fabriquer à la presse, ce qui est moins coûteux que le cintrage de profilés métalliques par roulage.The cut-away shape of said profiles, when they are metallic, makes it possible to manufacture them with the press, which is less expensive than the bending of metal profiles by rolling.
L'inclinaison par rapport à l'horizontal des différents pans coupés du profilé est décroissante depuis son extrémité coopérant avec une dite pièce de base, jusqu'à son extrémité coopérant avec ladite pièce de faîtage.The inclination relative to the horizontal of the different cut sections of the profile is decreasing from its end cooperating with a said base piece, to its end cooperating with said ridge piece.
Chaque élément d'abri comporte au moins une dite pièce d'appui comportant au moins une béquille de relevage, ladite béquille étant, par exemple, fixée à une extrémité en articulation sur la face interne d'une dite pièce d'appui et apte à se bloquer à son autre extrémité dans la rainure d'un rail de guidage explicité ci-après ou sur le sol ou la plage entourant le bassin ou sur une pièce fixée au sol ou sur la plage, de telle sorte que, lorsque ladite pièce d'appui est en position abaissée de fermeture, la béquille de relevage est repliée contre la pièce d'appui, et, lorsque ladite pièce d'appui est en position haute, relevée, la béquille de relevage est dépliée par rotation autour de ladite articulation.Each shelter element comprises at least one said support piece comprising at least one lifting stand, said stand being, for example, attached to a hinge end on the inner face of a said support piece and adapted to at its other end, lock in the groove of a guide rail as follows, or on the floor or beach surrounding the pool or on a room fixed to the ground or the beach, so that when support is in the lowered position of closure, the lifting stand is folded against the support piece, and when said support piece is in the raised position, raised, the lifting stand is unfolded by rotation around said hinge.
Lesdites pièces d'appui comportent avantageusement des poignées de relevage sur leurs faces externes, de préférence, leurs parois présentant des creux formant lesdites poignées.Said support pieces advantageously comprise lifting handles on their outer faces, preferably, their walls having depressions forming said handles.
Plus particulièrement, chaque élément d'abri comporte au moins au niveau desdits profilés, le long de ses deux bords transversaux, soit une première bordure extérieure présentant une forme en saillie formant gouttière, soit une deuxième bordure extérieure présentant une forme en saillie formant une même gouttière renversée (c'est-à-dire dont la partie concave est tournée vers le bas), de sorte que lesdites deuxièmes bordures extérieures formant une gouttière renversée de chaque coté d'un élément d'abri coopèrent avec lesdites premières bordures extérieures formant gouttières des deux éléments d'abri juxtaposés, lesdites gouttières renversées se chevauchant avec lesdites gouttières (c'est-à-dire, venant s'y loger), empêchant une séparation de deux éléments d'abri juxtaposés l'un par rapport à l'autre en translation longitudinale, lorsque lesdites premières et secondes bordures transversales extérieures coopèrent ainsi, de manière étanche, en assemblage.More particularly, each shelter element comprises at least at the level of said profiles, along its two transverse edges, either a first outer rim having a protruding shape forming a gutter, or a second outer rim having a projecting shape forming a single an inverted trough (i.e. having a concave portion facing downwardly) so that said second outer trims forming an upside down trough on either side of a shelter element co-operate with said first outer trims forming troughs; two juxtaposed shelter elements, said upside down gutters overlapping with said gutters (that is to say, being housed therein), preventing a separation of two shelter elements juxtaposed with respect to the another in longitudinal translation, when said first and second outer transverse edges thus cooperate, in a sealed manner, in assembly.
Ce mode de réalisation autorise, toutefois, le basculement en ouverture d'un élément d'abri sur deux, c'est-à-dire celui présentant desdites bordures externes en forme de gouttière renversée.This embodiment allows, however, the tilting opening of one shelter element on two, that is to say the one having said external edges in the form of an inverted gutter.
Ces dites premières et deuxièmes bordures sont donc, d'une part, des moyens d'assemblage par retenue desdits deux éléments d'abri juxtaposés et, d'autre part, constituent des gouttières assurant une bonne étanchéité de l'abri, une fois que les deux éléments d'abri juxtaposés sont assemblés par coopération desdites premières et secondes bordures transversales extérieures.These so-called first and second edges are, on the one hand, means of assembly by holding said two juxtaposed shelter elements and, on the other hand, constitute gutters ensuring a good seal of the shelter, once the two juxtaposed shelter elements are assembled by cooperation of said first and second outer transverse edges.
Avantageusement, lesdites premières et deuxièmes bordures extérieures des bords transversaux de dits éléments d'abri juxtaposés sont constituées par des premières et secondes bordures extérieures des bords transversaux desdits profilés, mais aussi de ceux desdites pièces d'appui et pièces de faîtage constituant ledit élément d'abri.Advantageously, said first and second outer edges of the transverse edges of said juxtaposed shelter elements are constituted by first and second outer edges of the transverse edges of said profiles, but also those of said support pieces and ridge pieces constituting said element 'shelter.
Lesdites premières et secondes bordures extérieures transversales viennent de matière avec lesdites pièces d'appui, profilés et, respectivement, pièces de faîtage.Said first and second transverse outer edges come from material with said support pieces, profiled and, respectively, ridge pieces.
Plus précisément, le cas échéant, lesdits fourreaux comportent également desdites premières et secondes bordures extérieures transversales formant lesdits bords transversaux au niveau de la pièce de faîtage.More specifically, where appropriate, said sleeves also comprise said first and second outer transverse edges forming said transverse edges at the ridge piece.
Dans un mode de réalisation, lesdits bords inférieurs longitudinaux des pièces d'appui comportent une partie en saillie ou en creux, coopérant avec une partie ou forme complémentaire en creux ou respectivement en saillie, d'une glissière ou rail de guidage fixée au sol ou sur la plage entourant la piscine, et lesdites parties complémentaires du bord inférieur longitudinal de la pièce d'appui et, respectivement, du rail ou glissière de guidage, sont maintenues fixées l'une à l'autre par une pièce de blocage amovible (c'est-à-dire permettant un blocage facultatif selon sa position), et lesdites parties complémentaires mâles et femelles du bord inférieur de la pièce d'appui et du rail ou glissière de guidage permettent, le cas échéant, une articulation en rotation variable de ladite pièce d'appui par rapport au sol et ou à la plage entourant la piscine, de préférence après libération de ladite pièce de blocage.In one embodiment, said longitudinal lower edges of the support pieces comprise a protruding or recessed part, cooperating with a part or complementary recessed or protruding shape, of a slide or guide rail fixed to the ground or on the beach surrounding the pool, and said complementary portions of the longitudinal lower edge of the support piece and, respectively, of the guide rail or slide, are held fixed to each other by a removable locking piece (c that is to say, allowing an optional locking according to its position), and said complementary male and female parts of the lower edge of the support piece and of the guide rail or guide allow, if necessary, a variable rotation articulation of said support member relative to the ground and or the beach surrounding the pool, preferably after release of said locking piece.
La présente invention a également pour objet un ensemble prêt à monter d'un abri de piscine selon l'invention, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend desdites pièces d'appui, pièces de faîtage, profilés, plaques et un dit dispositif de relevage, ainsi que, le cas échéant, desdits rails de guidage.The present invention also relates to an assembly ready to mount a swimming pool shelter according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises said support pieces, ridge pieces, profiles, plates and a said lifting device, as well as, if appropriate, said guide rails.

L'abri de piscine 1 selon la présente invention est constitué de 7 éléments d'abri 2 juxtaposés dans la direction longitudinale XX du bassin 11, reposant sur des rails 8 le long des bords longitudinaux du bassin.The pool enclosure 1 according to the present invention consists of 7
Chaque élément d'abri 2 est constitué de deux pièces d'appui 3 disposées symétriquement et dont la base 30a repose sur le rail de guidage 8.Each
Chaque élément d'abri 2 présente une forme générale d'arche, venant recouvrir une partie de la longueur de la piscine, mais sur toute sa largeur dans la direction transversale YY du bassin de la piscine.Each
Chaque élément d'abri 2 peut, par exemple, présenter une dimension dans la direction longitudinale XX de 1 à 2 mètres, plus particulièrement environ 1,20 m, et être arqué pour que la pièce de faîtage s'élève à une hauteur de 1 à 2 mètre, de préférence environ 1,50 m, de hauteur par rapport au niveau de l'eau du bassin ou au niveau des bases 30a desdites pièces d'appui 3.Each
Chaque élément d'abri 2 comprend une pièce de faîtage 5 s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale XX du bassin, sur une même distance que lesdites pièces d'appui 3, positionnée de manière centrale au niveau du faîtage dudit élément d'abri.Each
Chaque pièce d'appui 3 est reliée à la pièce de faîtage par deux profilés 41 délimitant les bords transversaux dudit élément d'abri. Lesdits profilés 41 coopèrent, directement ou indirectement, avec des logements creux 311 disposés sur les bords transversaux opposés d'une pièce d'appui, et des logements creux 511, disposés également aux extrémités, dans la direction transversale YY, des bords transversaux 51 tournés du coté de la pièce d'appui à laquelle ils doivent être liés.Each
On comprend que chaque pièce de faîtage comporte deux logements creux 511 aux extrémités opposées de leurs bords transversaux 51 dans la direction XX et tournés, chacun, vers un profilé 41 assurant la jonction vers, respectivement, chacune des deux pièces d'appui 3 disposées symétriquement par rapport à la pièce de faîtage 5.It is understood that each ridge piece comprises two
Les extrémités opposées dans la direction transversale YY, à savoir les extrémités 40a et 40b d'un profilé 41, coopèrent respectivement avec des logements creux 311 d'une pièce d'appui 3 et 511 d'une pièce de faîtage 5. Les extrémités 40b des profilés 41 coopèrent avec lesdits logements 511 de la pièce de faîtage 5 par l'intermédiaire de fourreaux 7, lesquels permettent une meilleure rigidification de la liaison entre la pièce faîtage 5 et le profilé 41.The opposite ends in the transverse direction YY, namely the
Cette rigidification est utile car les pièces d'appui 3 et pièces de faîtage 5 sont constituées d'une coque en matière plastique roto moulée (polypropylène), de préférence remplie d'une mousse synthétique de rigidification (en dehors des logements creux). Seuls, les profilés 41 sont réalisés en métal, plus particulièrement en aluminium.This stiffening is useful because the
Sur le mode de réalisation des
Au niveau de la jonction entre les extrémités 40a des profilés 41 et les logements creux respectifs 311 des extrémités des bords transversaux 31 des pièces d'appui 3, on ne met pas en oeuvre de fourreau métallique dans la mesure où les logements creux 311 sont suffisants pour maintenir complètement et rigidement les extrémités 40a desdits profilés 41.At the junction between the
Chaque pièce de faîtage 5 est reliée à chaque pièce d'appui 3 par deux profilés 41. Chaque élément d'abri comprend donc deux profilés 41 disposés, dans la direction transversale YY, symétriquement par rapport à l'axe XX de la pièce de faîtage 5, les deux profilés 41 faisant partie d'un premier bord transversal de chaque élément d'abri 2, et les deux autres profilés 41, assurant la liaison entre chaque pièce de faîtage 5 et les deux pièces d'appui 3 disposées symétriquement qui constituent le deuxième bord transversal au bord transversal opposé de l'élément d'abri 2, sont constitués de profilés de même structure que ceux 41 du premier bord transversal.Each

Le premier pan coupé 4a du coté de la pièce de faîtage 3 est incliné d'un même angle α2 par rapport à l'horizontal que celui de la partie supérieure 3b de la pièce d'appui 3, décrit ci-après, le pan coupé suivant 4b étant incliné d'un angle α3 inférieur à α2 et le dernier pan coupé 4e étant sensiblement horizontal comme la pièce de faîtage 5, lorsque ledit élément d'abri est installé en position de couverture de la piscine.The
On comprend donc que la première section 4a du profilé 41 est dans le prolongement de la partie supérieure 3b de la pièce d'appui 3 décrite ci-après.It is therefore understood that the
Dans tous les modes de réalisation, on comprend que la pièce de faîtage est disposée sensiblement horizontalement.In all the embodiments, it is understood that the ridge piece is arranged substantially horizontally.

Dans un mode de réalisation, la hauteur H1 entre le bord longitudinal inférieur 30a et le bord longitudinal supérieur 30 de la pièce d'appui 3, représente une hauteur d'environ 0,8 m à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif de la présente invention.In one embodiment, the height H1 between the lower
Chaque pièce d'appui 3 comporte deux zones perforées, aptes à recevoir des plaques transparentes ou translucides 3a1 et, respectivement 3b1, disposées respectivement dans les partie inférieure 3a et partie supérieure 3b de la pièce d'appui 3. Ces perforations rectangulaires 3a1 et 3b1 sont séparées par une zone médiane pleine 3c, recevant deux formes creuses formant poignée 3c1 permettant de manipuler l'élément d'abri 2, comme il sera explicité ci-après.Each
On comprend que l'angle (180-α1+ α2) entre les plans dans lesquels s'étendent lesdites parties inférieure 3a et supérieure 3b de la pièce d'appui 3, est supérieur à 90°, de préférence entre 120 et 150°.It is understood that the angle (180-α1 + α2) between the planes in which said

Chaque élément d'abri comporte au moins une dite pièce d'appui 3 comportant au moins une béquille de relevage 10, constituée de deux tiges incurvées 101, 102 de même courbure, dont une extrémité 101a, 102a de chacune des deux tiges est fixée à l'autre en articulation 111, l'autre extrémité 102b d'une tige 102 étant fixée en articulation 115 sur une pièce 113 à proximité du bord inférieur 30a de ladite pièce d'appui et l'autre extrémité 101b de l'autre tige 101 étant fixée en articulation 114 sur une pièce en forme d'équerre 112 fixée au sol sur lequel est également fixé le rail de guidage 8, de telle sorte que, lorsque ladite pièce d'appui est en position abaissée de fermeture, les deux dites tiges 101, 102 formant la béquille de relevage 10 sont repliés l'une contre l'autre, et, lorsque ladite pièce d'appui est en position haute, relevée, les deux tiges de la béquille de relevage sont dépliés l'une par rapport à l'autre, par rotation autour de ladite articulation 111.Each shelter element comprises at least one said
On comprend que lesdites tiges sont fixées entre elles et articulées en rotation l'une par rapport à l'autre à l'une de leurs extrémités. Les deux tiges ont une même forme et présentent de préférence sensiblement le même profil transversal que ladite pièce d'appui, de manière à créer un encombrement minimal à l'intérieur de l'abri une fois ladite béquille repliée contre la paroi interne de ladite pièce d'appui. De préférence, les deux tiges de la béquille de relevage coopèrent également par un ressort dont l'extension facilite l'ouverture de l'élément d'abri, ledit ressort étant maintenu en compression lorsque les deux tiges sont repliées l'une contre l'autre de par l'effet du poids de l'élément d'abri en position basse de couverture.It is understood that said rods are fixed together and articulated in rotation relative to each other at one of their ends. The two rods have the same shape and preferably have substantially the same transverse profile as said support piece, so as to create a minimum space inside the shelter once said stand folded against the inner wall of said piece support. Preferably, the two rods of the lifting stand also cooperate by a spring whose extension facilitates the opening of the shelter element, said spring being kept in compression when the two rods are folded against one another. other by the effect of the weight of the shelter element in the lower cover position.
