Abstract

The cover (1) has two telescopic cross-bars (4a, 4b) connected respectively to side ends (2a) of a parallelepiped covering tarpaulin (2), where the tarpaulin is made from flexible material. Two longitudinal tension belts (5) are coupled to the tarpaulin. Ends (5a) of the tension belts cooperate with cover tension units that provide tension to the cover in a deployed position above a basin. The tarpaulin comprises two slides (7) to receive the tension belts, respectively. Each end of the tension belts forms a loop around one of the cross-bars, where the loops are coupled to the tension units.

Description

Domaine technique:Technical area:

La présente invention concerne une couverture de protection pour bassin tel qu'une piscine ou similaire, comportant une bâche de recouvrement en matériau souple, au moins deux barres transversales respectivement reliées à chacune des extrémités latérales de ladite bâche, lesdites barres transversales étant agencées pour reposer sur le bord dudit bassin, et pour l'une au moins d'entre elles, permettre l'enroulement et le déroulement de ladite couverture, ladite couverture comportant encore au moins deux sangles de tension longitudinales couplées à ladite bâche et dont les extrémités sont agencées pour coopérer avec des moyens de tension de ladite couverture dans sa position déployée au-dessus dudit bassin.The present invention relates to a protective cover for a pool such as a pool or the like, comprising a cover covering of flexible material, at least two transverse bars respectively connected to each of the lateral ends of said cover, said transverse bars being arranged to rest. on the edge of said basin, and for at least one of them, allow the winding and unwinding of said cover, said cover further comprising at least two longitudinal tensioning straps coupled to said cover and whose ends are arranged to cooperate with means for tensioning said cover in its deployed position above said basin.

Technique antérieure :Prior art:

L'on connaît à l'heure actuelle de nombreux modèles de couvertures pour bassins tels que des piscines ou similaires, dont les caractéristiques sont adaptées en fonction de l'usage que l'on souhaite en faire et/ou en fonction du type de bassin concerné. Ainsi, la plupart des modèles de couverture proposés ont été développés non seulement en vue d'éviter l'introduction de salissures dans l'eau du bassin, mais également pour favoriser le réchauffement de l'eau du bassin ou conserver la chaleur et les calories accumulées, tout en évitant l'évaporation de l'eau. Par ailleurs, de manière à respecter les normes de sécurité en vigueur à l'heure actuelle, de telles couvertures sont généralement équipées de moyens permettant d'offrir une protection vis-à-vis d'éventuelles noyades.There are currently many models of covers for pools such as swimming pools or the like, whose characteristics are adapted according to the use that one wishes to make and / or depending on the type of pool concerned. As a result, most of the proposed cover designs have been developed not only to prevent the introduction of soiling into the pond water, but also to promote warming of the pond water or to conserve heat and calories. accumulated, while avoiding the evaporation of water. Moreover, in order to comply with current safety standards, such covers are generally equipped with means for providing protection against possible drownings.

En ce qui concerne les couvertures de bassins comportant une bâche de recouvrement en matériau souple, plusieurs solutions permettant de répondre à ces exigences de sécurité ont été développées.Regarding the covers of pools with a cover covering of flexible material, several solutions to meet these safety requirements have been developed.

L'une d'entre elles consiste par exemple à munir ladite bâche de sangles longitudinales et/ou latérales, assurant sa rigidité, pouvant être accrochées et tendues, après déploiement de la couverture au-dessus d'un bassin, sur des pitons régulièrement plantés le long de la margelle. Une telle solution présente l'inconvénient de nécessiter un nombre élevé de sangles pour se révéler efficace. Par conséquent, la mise en place d'une telle couverture se révèle dans la pratique longue et fastidieuse, si bien qu'il est à craindre que les utilisateurs ne renoncent au fil du temps à la tendre convenablement sur l'ensemble des pitons, auquel cas, la sécurité ne serait plus garantie.One of them consists for example in providing said tarpaulin with longitudinal and / or lateral straps, ensuring its rigidity, which can be hung and tensioned, after deployment of the blanket over a pond, on regular pegs. along the coping. Such a solution has the disadvantage of requiring a large number of straps to be effective. Therefore, the implementation of such coverage is proving in practice long and tedious, so it is feared that users do not give up over time to straighten it properly on all pitons, which case, security would no longer be guaranteed.

Une autre solution connue notamment du document FR 2 690 943 prévoit par ailleurs de rigidifier une bâche en matériau souple au moyen d'une série de barres parallèles et transversales agencées pour reposer sur la margelle du bassin, après déploiement de ladite couverture. Une telle conformation présente néanmoins l'inconvénient d'être peu esthétique et encombrante aussi bien lorsque la couverture est déroulée que lorsqu'elle est enroulée. D'autre part, l'expérience a pu montrer que les manoeuvres d'enroulement et de déroulement de ce type de couverture nécessitaient de la part de l'opérateur des efforts conséquents du fait de la présence des barres transversales. Son utilisation manuelle est donc peu conviviale, et il est préconisé de disposer d'une motorisation puissante et coûteuse. En outre, il a également été constaté qu'une telle couverture pouvait être aisément soulevée par ses bords latéraux, du fait d'un espace libre subsistant entre la margelle et les extrémités desdites barres transversales, notamment par un enfant souhaitant s'introduire dans le bassin à l'insu de ses parents.Another known solution, in particular from the document FR 2,690,943 also provides for stiffening a tarpaulin of flexible material by means of a series of parallel and transverse bars arranged to rest on the edge of the basin, after deployment of said cover. Such a conformation nevertheless has the disadvantage of being unattractive and cumbersome as well when the cover is unwound than when it is rolled up. On the other hand, the experiment could show that the winding and unwinding maneuvers of this type of cover required from the operator significant efforts due to the presence of cross bars. Its manual use is therefore not very user-friendly, and it is recommended to have a powerful and expensive engine. In addition, it has also been found that such a cover could be easily raised by its lateral edges, because of a free space remaining between the lip and the ends of said cross bars, in particular by a child wishing to break into the basin without the knowledge of his parents.

L'objet de l'invention décrite dans la publication FR 2 866 382 est de pallier ce dernier inconvénient, en équipant une telle couverture, constituée d'une bâche de recouvrement solidaire d'une série de barres transversales et parallèles, de deux câbles de mise sous tension. Lesdits câbles sont respectivement solidaires à la fois des bords longitudinaux de ladite bâche et des extrémités desdites barres transversales de sorte à donner un caractère monolithique à ladite bâche et empêcher son soulèvement inopiné. Une telle structure, reposant sur de nombreuses pièces, de conformation très spécifique, présente néanmoins l'inconvénient d'un procédé de fabrication complexe et coûteux. En outre, elle ne permet pas de résoudre le problème de la difficulté de manoeuvre due à la présence des nombreuses barres transversales.The subject of the invention described in the publication FR 2 866 382 is to overcome this last disadvantage, by equipping such a cover, consisting of a tarpaulin of integral recovery of a series of transverse bars and parallel, two power cables. Said cables are respectively secured to both the longitudinal edges of said cover and the ends of said transverse bars so as to give a monolithic character to said cover and prevent its unexpected lifting. Such a structure, based on many parts, very specific conformation, however, has the disadvantage of a complex and expensive manufacturing process. In addition, it does not solve the problem of the difficulty of maneuver due to the presence of the many crossbars.

Exposé de l'invention :Presentation of the invention

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une couverture de piscine garantissant un niveau de sécurité élevé, qui soit facilement maniable par une personne seule, et d'un coût réduit.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a pool cover ensuring a high level of security, which is easily manageable by a single person, and a reduced cost.

Dans ce but, l'invention concerne une couverture de protection pour bassin, tel que piscine ou similaire du genre indiqué en préambule, caractérisée en ce que ladite bâche comporte au moins deux coulisses respectivement disposées à proximité de chacun de ses bords longitudinaux, agencées pour accueillir chacune une desdites sangles de tension longitudinales, et en ce que chacune des extrémités desdites sangles de tension longitudinales forme au moins une boucle autour d'une desdites barres transversales couplée auxdits moyens de tension.For this purpose, the invention relates to a protective cover for a pool, such as swimming pool or the like of the kind indicated in the preamble, characterized in that said cover comprises at least two slides respectively disposed near each of its longitudinal edges, arranged to each accommodating one of said longitudinal tensioning straps, and in that each end of said longitudinal tensioning straps forms at least one loop around one of said transverse bars coupled to said tensioning means.

Selon une variante de réalisation, ladite couverture comporte en outre plusieurs petites sangles de tension complémentaires formant au moins une boucle autour de chacune desdites barres transversales et agencées pour coopérer avec lesdits moyens de tension.According to an alternative embodiment, said cover further comprises several small complementary tension straps forming at least one loop around each of said transverse bars and arranged to cooperate with said tensioning means.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation, ladite couverture comporte un nombre de sangles de tension longitudinales supérieur à deux, réparties sur la surface de ladite bâche et logées chacune dans une coulisse complémentaire formée dans ladite bâche, chacune des extrémités desdites sangles de tension longitudinales formant au moins une boucle autour d'une desdites barres transversales, ladite boucle étant couplée auxdits moyens de tension.According to another variant embodiment, said cover comprises a number of longitudinal tension straps greater than two, distributed over the surface of said cover and each housed in a complementary slide formed in said cover, each of the ends of said longitudinal tension straps forming at at least one loop around one of said transverse bars, said loop being coupled to said tensioning means.

Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de tension de la couverture comportent au moins un cliquet de tension relié d'une part à au moins une desdites boucles formées par chacune desdites sangles de tension autour d'une desdites barres transversales, et d'autre part à des moyens d'ancrage sur un arrimage planté sur le bord dudit bassin.Advantageously, said tension means of the cover comprise at least one tension pawl connected on the one hand to at least one of said loops formed by each of said tensioning straps around one of said transverse bars, and secondly to means anchoring on a stowage planted on the edge of said basin.

De préférence, afin de réduire l'encombrement de ladite couverture dans sa position enroulée et faciliter son transport, lesdites barres transversales comportent plusieurs tronçons réunis par des moyens d'assemblage démontables ou non.Preferably, in order to reduce the bulk of said cover in its wound position and facilitate its transport, said transverse bars comprise several sections joined by removable assembly means or not.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation répondant au même objectif, lesdites barres transversales sont télescopiques.According to another embodiment of the same objective, said transverse bars are telescopic.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation de la couverture pour bassin selon l'invention, elle peut comporter au moins une bâche additionnelle couplée à ladite bâche par des moyens d'assemblage amovibles. Ces moyens d'assemblage peuvent être constitués par des zones d'assemblage prévues respectivement dans l'une au moins desdites coulisses d'un des bords longitudinaux et/ou l'un au moins desdits bords latéraux de ladite bâche et dans au moins une coulisse prévue sur un des bords de ladite bâche additionnelle, ainsi que par l'une desdites sangles de tension longitudinale et/ou l'une desdites barres transversales logée à travers lesdites zones d'assemblage et assurant la liaison mécanique entre les deux bâches.According to another embodiment of the basin cover according to the invention, it may comprise at least one additional cover coupled to said cover by removable assembly means. These assembly means may consist of assembly zones provided respectively in at least one of said slides of one of the longitudinal edges and / or at least one of said lateral edges of said cover and in at least one slide provided on one of the edges of said additional cover, and by one of said longitudinal tension straps and / or one of said transverse bars housed through said assembly areas and providing the mechanical connection between the two sheets.

Dans ce cas, lesdites zones d'assemblage peuvent comporter des découpes en créneaux permettant l'emboîtement desdites coulisses et/ou desdits bords respectivement de ladite bâche et de ladite bâche additionnelle. Elles peuvent aussi comporter des prédécoupes aptes à former lesdites découpes en créneaux.In this case, said assembly areas may comprise slotted cutouts for nesting said slides and / or said edges respectively of said tarpaulin and said additional tarpaulin. They may also include pre-cuts capable of forming said slotted cuts.

En variante, la bâche additionnelle peut être agencée pour être séparée en au moins deux parties par découpe d'une des parties afin de réduire la dimension totale de ladite bâche additionnelle. Dans ce cas, elle comporte avantageusement au moins deux sangles de tension fixées à proximité de ses côtés latéraux en différents points et agencées pour être découpées en cas de retrait d'une des parties de ladite bâche additionnelle.Alternatively, the additional tarpaulin may be arranged to be separated into at least two portions by cutting one of the parts to reduce the total dimension of said additional tarpaulin. In this case, it advantageously comprises at least two tensioning straps fixed near its lateral sides at different points and arranged to be cut in case of removal of a part of said additional cover.

Illustration de l'invention et meilleures manières de la réaliser:Illustration of the invention and better ways of doing it:

En référence aux figures, l'invention concerne une couverture 1 pour bassin tel qu'une piscine, comportant une bâche 2 en matériau souple présentant, dans les variantes de réalisation illustrées une forme rectangulaire, et dont les dimensions sont telles que, dans la position déployée de ladite couverture 1 au-dessus d'un bassin, ses bords latéraux 2a et longitudinaux 2b reposent sur la plage entourant ledit bassin.With reference to the figures, the invention relates to a cover 1 for a pool such as a swimming pool, comprising a sheet 2 of flexible material having, in the variant embodiments illustrated a rectangular shape, and whose dimensions are such that, in the position deployed from said cover 1 over a basin, its lateral edges 2a and longitudinal 2b rest on the beach surrounding said basin.

De manière classique, la bâche 2 peut être constituée d'un seul et même matériau choisi en fonction des objectifs souhaités. Un matériau opaque, tel que notamment du PVC armé opaque, du type classiquement utilisé pour éviter le développement d'algues dans l'eau et recouvrir un bassin pendant une période prolongée, peut également convenir. En général, tout type de matériau connu pour ce type d'application peut être envisagé. Avantageusement, la présente invention prévoit la possibilité d'utiliser une bâche 2 réalisée à partir de plusieurs panneaux 3a, 3b en matériaux souples disposés dans un même plan conformément à l'exemple représenté à la figure 1.Conventionally, the sheet 2 may consist of a single material chosen according to the desired objectives. An opaque material, such as in particular opaque reinforced PVC, of the type conventionally used to prevent the development of algae in water and cover a pond for a prolonged period, may also be suitable. In general, any type of known material for this type of application can be envisaged. Advantageously, the present invention provides the possibility of using a tarpaulin 2 made from several panels 3a, 3b of flexible materials arranged in the same plane in accordance with the example shown in FIG. figure 1 .

La bâche 2 comporte encore deux barres transversales 4a, 4b, respectivement reliées à chacun de ses bords latéraux 2a, par exemple dans des fourreaux prévus à cet effet. De manière conventionnelle, l'une d'entre elle, par exemple la barre transversale 4b, est mobile et permet de procéder à l'enroulement et au déroulement de la couverture 1, par exemple respectivement au moyen d'une manivelle (non représentée), motorisée ou non et au moyen d'une sangle de déroulement (non représentée) solidaire de ladite bâche 2. L'autre barre transversale 4a peut être fixe et rester en place à l'extrémité du bassin.The sheet 2 further comprises two transverse bars 4a, 4b, respectively connected to each of its lateral edges 2a, for example in sheaths provided for this purpose. Conventionally, one of them, for example the transverse bar 4b, is movable and makes it possible to proceed with the winding and unfolding of the cover 1, for example respectively by means of a crank (not shown) , motorized or not and by means of an unwinding strap (not shown) secured to said cover 2. The other crossbar 4a can be fixed and remain in place at the end of the basin.

Les barres transversales 4a, 4b peuvent par exemple être réalisées en aluminium anodisé ou en un matériau composite, présentant une robustesse, et une résistance à la corrosion adaptées à un usage dans un environnement tel que celui d'une piscine. Elles peuvent être fabriquées d'un seul tenant. En vue de réduire l'encombrement de la couverture 1 lors de son stockage et de son transport, les barres transversales 4a, 4b peuvent être réalisées à partir de plusieurs tronçons soit assemblés de manière télescopique, soit réunis par des moyens d'assemblage démontables tels que par vissage ou par emmanchement, ou non démontables. Dans l'exemple illustré, les barres transversales 4a, 4b sont accueillies par deux ourlets 2c respectivement formés à chacun des bords latéraux 2a de la bâche 2. Tout autre moyen de solidarisation peut néanmoins convenir.The transverse bars 4a, 4b may for example be made of anodized aluminum or a composite material, having a robustness, and resistance to Corrosion adapted to use in an environment such as that of a swimming pool. They can be made in one piece. In order to reduce the size of the cover 1 during its storage and transport, the transverse bars 4a, 4b can be made from several sections either telescopically assembled or joined by dismountable assembly means such as only by screwing or fitting, or not removable. In the illustrated example, the transverse bars 4a, 4b are accommodated by two hems 2c respectively formed at each of the lateral edges 2a of the sheet 2. Any other securing means may nevertheless be suitable.

De manière classique, en vue de tendre la couverture 1 après son déploiement au-dessus d'un bassin, la bâche 2 comporte également au moins deux sangles de tension longitudinales 5 dont les extrémités 5a sont équipées de moyens tels que des anneaux 6 permettant leur ancrage au sol, par exemple sur des pitons (non représentés), disposés de manière appropriée sur le bord du bassin.Conventionally, in order to stretch the cover 1 after its deployment over a basin, the sheet 2 also comprises at least two longitudinal tensioning straps 5 whose ends 5a are equipped with means such as rings 6 allowing their anchoring to the ground, for example on pitons (not shown), arranged appropriately on the edge of the basin.

Conformément à l'invention, lesdites sangles de tension longitudinales 5 sont accueillies par deux coulisses 7 s'étendant le long des bords longitudinaux 2b de ladite bâche 2 et sont rendues solidaires des barres transversales 4a, 4b au moyen de premières boucles 5b (cf. fig. 2A, 2B et 3A, 3B) formées par leurs extrémités 5a repliées autour desdites barres 4a, 4b et fixées, par exemple par couture, rivetage ou autre, sur les tronçons 5c de sangle de tension longitudinale 5 se trouvant alors en regard desdites extrémités 5a. Tel que visible sur les figures, les extrémités 5a des sangles de tension longitudinales 5, solidaires des barres transversales 4a, 4b, sont reliées aux anneaux 6 au travers de tronçons de sangle 8a, 8b eux-mêmes reliés auxdites extrémités 5a au moyen d'anneaux 9 glissés dans une deuxième boucle 5d formée au niveau de chacune desdites extrémités 5a. Avantageusement, le tronçon de sangle 8b, situé dans la variante de réalisation illustrée du côté de la barre transversale 4b mobile, présente en outre une longueur variable, réglable par exemple au moyen d'un cliquet de tension 10, manoeuvré après l'arrimage de l'anneau 6 par exemple sur un piton, tandis que le tronçon de sangle 8a, situé du côté de la barre transversale 4a fixe, présente une longueur fixe.According to the invention, said longitudinal tensioning straps 5 are accommodated by two slides 7 extending along the longitudinal edges 2b of said cover 2 and are made integral with the transverse bars 4a, 4b by means of first loops 5b (cf. Fig. 2A, 2B and 3A, 3B ) formed by their ends 5a folded around said bars 4a, 4b and fixed, for example by sewing, riveting or other, on the sections 5c of longitudinal tension strap 5 then being opposite said ends 5a. As shown in the figures, the ends 5a of the longitudinal tensioning straps 5, integral with the transverse bars 4a, 4b, are connected to the rings 6 through strap sections 8a, 8b themselves connected to said ends 5a by means of rings 9 slid in a second loop 5d formed at each of said ends 5a. Advantageously, the strap portion 8b, located in the embodiment shown on the side of the movable transverse bar 4b, also has a variable length, adjustable for example by means of a tension pawl 10, operated after the stowage of the ring 6 by example on a stud, while the webbing portion 8a, located on the side of the fixed crossbar 4a has a fixed length.

Par ailleurs, les barres transversales 4a, 4b peuvent être reliées à plusieurs petites sangles de tension complémentaires 11a, 11b (cf. fig.1, 4A, 4B) formant au moins une boucle autour de chacune desdites barres transversales 4a, 4b et dont les extrémités sont chacune pourvue d'un anneau 6 pour l'arrimage, par exemple sur un piton préalablement planté sur le bord d'un bassin. Dans l'exemple illustré, seules les sangles de tension 11b situées du côté de la barre transversale 4b mobile sont équipées de cliquets de tension 10 permettant de régler leur longueur. Bien entendu, il serait également envisageable d'équiper uniquement ou également les sangles de tension 11a de tels cliquets de tension 10.Moreover, the transverse bars 4a, 4b can be connected to several small complementary tension straps 11a, 11b (cf. fig.1 , 4A, 4B ) forming at least one loop around each of said transverse bars 4a, 4b and whose ends are each provided with a ring 6 for lashing, for example on a piton previously planted on the edge of a basin. In the example shown, only the tensioning straps 11b located on the side of the movable crossbar 4b are equipped with tension pawls 10 to adjust their length. Of course, it would also be conceivable to equip only or also the tensioning straps 11a of such tension pawls 10.

En fonction de la largeur de la couverture 1, ces sangles de tension complémentaires 11a, 11b peuvent être remplacées par plusieurs sangles de tension longitudinales 5, réparties sur la surface de ladite bâche 2 à intervalles réguliers ou non. Chaque sangle de tension longitudinale 5 est, dans ce cas, logée dans une coulisse 7 complémentaire formée dans ladite bâche 2, fixée aux barres transversales 4a, 4b et arrimée au sol de la même manière que les deux sangles de tension longitudinales 5 s'étendant le long des bords longitudinaux 2b de ladite bâche 2.Depending on the width of the cover 1, these complementary tension straps 11a, 11b can be replaced by several longitudinal tensioning straps 5, distributed on the surface of said cover 2 at regular intervals or not. Each longitudinal tensioning strap 5 is, in this case, housed in a complementary slide 7 formed in said sheet 2, fixed to the transverse bars 4a, 4b and secured to the ground in the same manner as the two longitudinal tensioning straps 5 extending along the longitudinal edges 2b of said cover 2.

L'on comprendra aisément qu'une telle conformation, dans laquelle l'ensemble des sangles de tension 5, 11a, 11b est solidaire des barres transversales 4a, 4b, permet avantageusement de tendre parfaitement la bâche 2. Après déploiement de la couverture 1 et arrimage des anneaux 6 par exemple sur des pitons prévus à cet effet sur le bord du bassin, les bords latéraux 2a et longitudinaux 2b de la bâche 2 sont plaqués contre le bord du bassin, par simple traction sur les sangles de tension longitudinales 5 et complémentaires 11a, 11b au moyen des cliquets de tension 10. Une mise en place convenable d'une telle couverture 1 interdit par conséquent tout soulèvement inopiné desdits bords latéraux 2a et longitudinaux 2b de la bâche 2, les sangles 5 tendues au travers desdites coulisses 7 assurant un plaquage des bords de la bâche 2 sur le bord du bassin.It will be readily understood that such a conformation, in which the set of tensioning straps 5, 11a, 11b is integral with the transverse bars 4a, 4b, advantageously allows the cover 2 to be tensioned perfectly. After deployment of the cover 1 and securing the rings 6 for example on the studs provided for this purpose on the edge of the basin, the lateral edges 2a and longitudinal 2b of the sheet 2 are pressed against the edge of the basin, by simply pulling on the longitudinal tension straps 5 and complementary 11a, 11b by means of the tension pawls 10. Proper placement of such a cover 1 therefore prevents any unexpected lifting of said lateral edges 2a and longitudinal 2b of the sheet 2, the straps 5 stretched through said slides 7 ensuring a plating of the edges of the sheet 2 on the edge of the basin.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'invention, la bâche 2 peut être raccordée avec au moins une autre bâche 12 additionnelle (cf. fig. 5), par exemple destinée à recouvrir un escalier d'accès à un bassin situé hors du parallélépipède formé par la bâche 2. Le raccord entre la bâche 2 et la bâche additionnelle 12 est réalisé en emboîtant ladite coulisse 7 comportant des découpes en créneaux 7a dont est pourvue la bâche 2, dans une coulisse 14 comportant des découpes en créneaux 14a complémentaires dont est pourvue la bâche additionnelle 12 . La sangle de tension 5 introduite au travers des coulisses 7 et 14 assure la liaison mécanique entre les deux bâches 2, 12. Dans la variante représentée à la figure 6, les bâches 2 et 12 comportent uniquement des prédécoupes 7b matérialisées par des trous. Une telle configuration permet à un utilisateur de ne découper les coulisses 7 et 14 en forme de créneaux qu'au niveau de la zone d'assemblage des deux bâches 2, 12 et de préserver ainsi l'esthétique générale de la couverture 1. Un assemblage similaire peut également être obtenu par emboîtement d'une coulisse 14 de la bâche 12 dans un bord latéral 2a de la bâche 2, la liaison mécanique étant dans ce cas assurée au moyen d'une des barres transversales 4a, 4b.According to an additional feature of the invention, the cover 2 can be connected with at least one additional cover 12 (cf. Fig. 5 ), for example intended to cover an access staircase to a pool located outside the parallelepiped formed by the cover 2. The connection between the cover 2 and the additional cover 12 is made by fitting said slide 7 having crenellated cuts 7a including is provided with the cover 2, in a slide 14 having complementary crenellated cuts 14a which is provided with the additional cover 12. The tension strap 5 introduced through the slides 7 and 14 provides the mechanical connection between the two sheets 2, 12. In the variant shown in FIG. figure 6 , the sheets 2 and 12 comprise only precuts 7b materialized by holes. Such a configuration allows a user to cut the slits 7 and 14 in the form of crenels at the assembly area of the two sheets 2, 12 and thus preserve the overall aesthetics of the cover 1. An assembly similar can also be obtained by interlocking a slide 14 of the cover 12 in a side edge 2a of the sheet 2, the mechanical connection being in this case provided by means of one of the transverse bars 4a, 4b.

Par ailleurs, la bâche additionnelle 12 est de préférence également équipée de moyens de tension, tels que des sangles de tension 13 qui peuvent être reliées aux côtés latéraux de la bâche 12, par exemple au moyen de plusieurs points de couture 16. Les sangles de tension 13 sont équipées de cliquets de tension 10 et d'anneaux d'arrimage 6 permettant de tendre la bâche additionnelle 12.Furthermore, the additional tarpaulin 12 is preferably also equipped with tensioning means, such as tensioning straps 13 which can be connected to the lateral sides of the tarpaulin 12, for example by means of several stitches 16. The straps of 13 are equipped with tension pawls 10 and lashing rings 6 for tensioning the additional tarpaulin 12.

Tel que visible sur la figure 6, la dimension de la bâche additionnelle 12 peut en outre être adaptée conformément aux besoins, en coupant d'abord les sangles de tension 13 au niveau des points de couture 16 situés aux angles 12a de la bâche 12, puis en découpant celle-ci en suivant une ligne de découpe 15 matérialisée ou non. Les portions 13a des sangles de tension 13, qui n'étaient pas fixées à la bâche 12, sont alors libérées et peuvent être utilisées pour tendre la bâche 12 de dimension inférieure.As visible on the figure 6 , the dimension of the additional tarpaulin 12 can be further adapted according to the needs, by first cutting the tensioning straps 13 at the stitches 16 at the corners 12a of the tarpaulin 12, and then cutting it following a cutting line 15 materialized or not. The portions 13a of the tensioning straps 13, which were not fixed to the sheet 12, are then released and can be used to tension the tarpaulin 12 of smaller size.
