Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of swimming pool covers formed by a roller shutter or floating consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed blades and articulated relative to each other.
  • a roller shutter thus floats on the surface of the water of the swimming pool, and allows at the same time, to protect the people in case of fall in the basin by avoiding that they flow and drown if they do not know swim, and avoid cooling the pond water during the night especially as well as pond pollution with external elements such as leaves or insects.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an additional cover element of the swimming pool to be combined with a shutter so as to cover the entire water surface of the pool.
  • the additional covering portion is in this case folded in contact with the upper surface of the central panel so as to allow the deployment or winding of the floating shutter around a roller.
  • a first object of the invention is to allow the total recovery of the water surface of the basin without generating extra thickness during the winding of the flap on the roller and thus ensuring an optimal lifetime for the shutter rolling.
  • the level of safety obtained with this type of roller shutter is not optimum and in some cases does not guarantee a sufficient recovery of the water surface of the pond at the zones having an additional portion of coverage, according to to current safety standards.
  • Another objective of the invention is therefore to guarantee a total recovery of the surface of the water of the basin whatever its shape and especially when it has a zone extending laterally with respect to a main zone of the basin.
  • the invention therefore relates to an additional cover element of a swimming pool.
  • Such an additional covering element is intended to be arranged on the surface of the water in an area extending laterally with respect to a main zone of the basin that can be covered by a shutter.
  • this additional cover element is characterized in that it comprises, at a selvedge intended to be arranged facing the shutter once deployed on the surface of the water, guide means in translation for fastening in the slide connection the additional cover element with respect to the roller shutter.
  • the translation guiding means of the additional cover member only allow the roller shutter to move in a horizontal reciprocating motion. These guide means thus prevent the cover element and the shutter from moving relative to one another in translation in a vertical direction.
  • the translation guiding means transmit to the other element the forces generated by the weight of the person on the surface of one or the other element.
  • the additional covering element is therefore advantageously placed in the area of the basin extending laterally relative to the main zone before fully deploying the shutter.
  • the translation guiding means may be in various forms and in particular consist of at least two disjoint elements and spaced apart from one another at the level of the selvedge intended to be arranged facing the roller shutter. They may also be in the form of a continuous member extending along the entire length of the edge of the additional covering element but also fractionated, with for example one element per blade.
  • the translational guiding means may comprise at least two members, each of which is in the form of a U, within which the shutter is positioned once deployed.
  • the two U-shaped members are disjoint and arranged near the ends of the selvedge so as to ensure good stability and rigidity of the connection between the additional cover element and the shutter.
  • the at least two members each comprise, at an outer median zone of the U, latching means co-operating with complementary means arranged at an inner portion of an end of a blade forming the floating surface of the additional cover member.
  • the two U-shaped members replace sealing plugs positioned at the ends of the blades constituting the floating surface of the additional cover element.
  • the latching means then make it possible to avoid any relative movement between the U-shaped members and the blades of the additional covering element.
  • the two members do not require any additional securing element to be secured in conjunction with the blades of the additional cover element.
  • the two members may also each comprise, at an outer median zone of the U, a gluing or welding zone cooperating with a flat end of a blade.
  • Such bonding or welding can be achieved in various ways by using in particular a glue attached between the two surfaces to be assembled or by merging the two materials together without the addition of external material.
  • the translation guide means may comprise two profiles arranged in parallel and reported on both sides of the blades forming the floating surface of the additional cover element.
  • the guide means in translation extend over the entire length of the edge arranged next to the roller shutter.
  • the two sections are secured to the blades forming the floating surface of the additional cover element by non-reversible securing means passing through the thickness of the two sections and that of the blades.
  • Such non-reversible securing means may in particular be in the form of rivets, bolts but also any gluing or welding snap-fastening means or the like traversing the thickness of the blades and those of the two sections.
  • the additional covering element may comprise at least one cross member for immobilizing the blades forming the floating surface of the additional covering element.
  • Such a cross member then extends over the entire length of the additional cover element and can be arranged parallel to the selvedge facing the shutter and / or perpendicular to the blades of the additional cover element.
  • Such a cross member thus makes it possible to stiffen the structure of the additional covering element, guaranteeing the mechanical stability of the additional element if a person falls on its surface.
  • This crossbar is also secured in a non-reversible manner with the blades constituting the additional covering element by securing means such as rivets, bolts or any means of snapping, gluing or welding.
  • the additional covering element may comprise means making it easier to introduce and / or remove the flap in the translation guiding means.
  • Such means may in particular be formed by a flared opening at the area where the roller shutter cooperates with the guide means during its deployment or its opening.
  • These means for facilitating the introduction and / or removal of the flap in the guide means may in particular be formed by a zone of the guide means themselves.
  • the additional covering element may comprise at least one strap intended to allow a user to guide, lift and place the covering element inside the basin.
  • the invention relates to an additional cover element of a swimming pool.
  • the pool basin 2 has a main zone 4 which can be completely covered by the shutter 5 .
  • a swimming pool also has an area 3 extending laterally relative to the main area 4 such a zone 3 may include a staircase facilitating access to the pool pool 2 .
  • An additional cover element 1 then makes it possible to cover the zone 3 .
  • Such an additional cover element 1 is therefore independent of the shutter 5 and comprises at a selvedge 6 intended to be arranged facing the shutter 5 guiding means 7 in translation adapted to cooperate in sliding connection with the edge of the rolling shutter 5 .
  • the additional element 1 is positioned at the surface of the water at the zone 3 arranged laterally with respect to the main zone 4 of the basin 2 .
  • the shape of the additional element 1 can be made to measure so as to match the shape of the zone 3 to cover it.
  • the shutter 5 may have a constant width and have no extra thickness during its winding.
  • the guiding means 7 of the additional covering element 1 may be formed by two members 8 and 9 spaced from each other, and secured to the edge 6 of the additional cover element 1.
  • Such bodies 8 and 9 then have a U-shape inside which the edge of the shutter can penetrate.
  • the member 8 may comprise at the level of the outer median zone of the U latching means 10 positioned on an outgrowth.
  • These latching means are intended to cooperate with complementary clipping, gluing or welding means 12 formed inside a blade 14 forming the floating surface of the additional covering element 1 .
  • These complementary latching means 12 are therefore positioned at one end 13 of a blade 14 and allow to immobilize the member 8 relative to the blades 14 constituting the floating surface of the additional cover element.
  • such a member 8 may have means 25 for facilitating the introduction or removal of the roller shutter inside a member 8 .
  • a member 28 may also be solicited by gluing or welding at an outer median area 29 of the U. The member 28 is then secured in recessed connection with an end 30 of a blade 14 constituting the floating surface of the additional cover element.
  • an additional cover element 11 may comprise at least one cross member 15 for stabilizing the structure of the cover element. Indeed, with such a cross slides 14 are immobilized and can no longer pivot relative to each other.
  • the additional covering element 11 then forms a semi-rigid assembly and can be stored vertically or horizontally at the periphery of the pool basin.
  • a strap 31 is secured to the additional cover element to allow its setting in position or withdrawal in the pool.
  • a strap may in particular be stuck inside the joining hinges between two juxtaposed blades and hinged together.
  • the guide means 17 in translation may comprise two profiles 18 and 19 cooperating with one end of a blade 24 forming the floating surface of the additional cover element 21 .
  • Such profiles 18 and 19 are then secured by means of non-reversible fastening elements 22 such as bolts, rivets or latching means.
  • the free end of the blade 24 is equipped with a plug 20 so as to guarantee a good seal and consequently a buoyancy of the additional cover element 21.
