Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'abri, et notamment un dispositif d'abri pour piscine extérieure.The present invention relates to a shelter device, and in particular a shelter device for an outdoor pool.

On connaît des dispositifs d'abri, que ce soit, non limitativement pour réaliser du stockage, de l'évènementiel, ou pour piscines extérieures.Shielding devices are known, whether, without limitation, for storage, event, or outdoor pools.

Dans le cas de piscines extérieures, les dispositifs d'abri sont utilisés pour de nombreuses raisons, et essentiellement de sécurité, de gain de température d'eau, de protection contre les salissures, de protection du vent pendant la baignade etc...In the case of outdoor pools, shelter devices are used for many reasons, and mainly safety, water temperature gain, protection against dirt, protection of the wind during swimming etc ...

Ces abris sont de différents types, ils peuvent être amovibles, coulissants, roulants, télescopiques, hauts ou bas. Ils consistent ainsi en des éléments aboutés, déplaçables, solidarisés ou non deux à deux, montés sur des roues ou des patins dans des rails.These shelters are of different types, they can be removable, sliding, rolling, telescopic, high or low. They thus consist of abutting elements, movable, secured or not in pairs, mounted on wheels or pads in rails.

Quel que soit le type d'abri, il est composé d'éléments modulaires chacun composé d'un cadre ou d'un assemblage de cadres, formant une armature constituée de profilés en aluminium, éventuellement en bois, laquelle armature sert de support à des panneaux, souvent transparents, généralement réalisés en polycarbonate.Whatever the type of shelter, it is composed of modular elements each consisting of a frame or an assembly of frames, forming a frame made of aluminum profiles, possibly wood, which frame serves as support for panels, often transparent, usually made of polycarbonate.

Ces abris présentent de nombreux inconvénients, que ce soit de facilité de montage, d'étanchéité, ou d'esthétique, mais le premier est le coût, qui demeure élevé quelle que soit la nature de l'abri, notamment du fait que sa construction reste artisanale.These shelters have many drawbacks, whether of ease of assembly, sealing, or aesthetics, but the first is the cost, which remains high regardless of the nature of the shelter, including the fact that its construction remains artisanal.

En effet, l'abri doit d'une part être adapté à la taille du bassin, ainsi qu'à celle de la plage disponible, en sorte qu'il n'existe pas, ou très peu de taille standard. Cet inconvénient est accru avec la nécessité de faire varier la hauteur de l'abri. Les différentes tailles sont ainsi obtenues en faisant varier la taille des cadres qui composent les éléments modulaires, ou en faisant varier le nombre des cadres utilisés.Indeed, the shelter must firstly be adapted to the size of the pool, and that of the available beach, so that there is no, or very little standard size. This disadvantage is increased with the need to vary the height of the shelter. The different sizes are thus obtained by varying the size of the frames that make up the modular elements, or by varying the number of frames used.

On notera par ailleurs, que ces adaptations dimensionnelles sont souvent faites au détriment de l'esthétique.Note also that these dimensional adaptations are often made at the expense of aesthetics.

On connaît également par le document US 5 004 001 un dôme déployable utilisable comme abri. Il comprend une multiplicité d'arches, dont l'extrémité de chacune est montée pivotante sur un pivot, tandis que l'autre extrémité de chacune de ces arches est montée pivotante sur un second pivot de même axe que le premier pivot, et qu'une toile recouvre l'ensemble et est solidarisée à chacune de ces arches tout en ménageant un espace entre deux arches successives. Un tel dôme présente des limites en ce qui concerne sa forme, et n'est pas d'une grande modularité de construction.It is also known from the document US 5,004,001 a deployable dome that can be used as a shelter. It comprises a multiplicity of arches, the end of each of which is pivotally mounted on a pivot, while the other end of each of these arches is pivotally mounted on a second pivot of the same axis as the first pivot, and that a canvas covers the whole and is secured to each of these arches while providing a space between two successive arches. Such a dome has limitations in terms of its shape, and is not of great modularity of construction.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux divers inconvénients précités, en proposant un dispositif d'abri de construction parfaitement modulaire, et qui est d'un coût bien inférieur à celui des dispositifs d'abri existants.The object of the present invention is to remedy the various aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a perfectly modular construction shelter device which is much cheaper than existing shelter devices.

Le dispositif d'abri, notamment pour piscine extérieure selon l'invention, est constitué de l'assemblage d'éléments modulaires comprenant des profilés et des panneaux, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comporte :

  • d'une part au moins deux profilés présentant chacun deux bords longitudinaux opposés parallèles, comportant chacun au moins une gorge qui est rétentrice, à savoir que son ouverture est plus étroite que sa partie interne,
  • d'autre part au moins un panneau, dont chacun de deux bords opposés est équipé d'un jonc conçu apte à pouvoir coulisser et être retenu dans une gorge rétentrice d'un desdits profilés, lesdits profilés et ledit panneau étant réalisés dans des matériaux permettant le cintrage de l'assemblage ainsi réalisé en vue de pouvoir former un arceau s'étendant au-dessus de la zone à abriter,
  • et d'autre part encore des moyens d'immobilisation des extrémités desdits profilés.
The shelter device, especially for an outdoor swimming pool according to the invention, consists of the assembly of modular elements comprising profiles and panels, and it is essentially characterized in that it comprises:
  • on the one hand at least two sections each having two parallel opposite longitudinal edges, each having at least one groove which is retentive, namely that its opening is narrower than its internal part,
  • on the other hand at least one panel, each of which has two opposing edges is equipped with a rod adapted able to slide and be retained in a retaining groove of one of said profiles, said profiles and said panel being made of materials allowing bending the assembly thus formed so as to form a hoop extending over the area to be housed,
  • and secondly means for immobilizing the ends of said profiles.

De manière avantageuse, les profilés sont réalisés dans une matière plastique semi-rigide, du polypropylène par exemple, et obtenus par un procédé d'extrusion, permettant après fabrication de les couper à la longueur voulue, tout comme les panneaux.Advantageously, the profiles are made of a semi-rigid plastic material, polypropylene for example, and obtained by an extrusion process, allowing after manufacture to cut them to the desired length, just like the panels.

D'autre part, les moyens d'immobilisation des extrémités des profilés, peuvent être prévus solidarisables fixement sur la plage, de manière réversible ou non, ou bien associés à des moyens permettant de les déplacer par roulage ou par glissement, en étant associés à des glissières par exemple.On the other hand, the means for immobilizing the ends of the profiles may be provided solidarily fixed to the beach, reversibly or not, or associated with means for moving them by rolling or sliding, being associated with slides for example.

Il est à noter que le dispositif d'abri 1 n'est pas limité à une fixation au sol, une extrémité de chaque profilé pouvant par exemple être fixée au sol tandis que l'autre est solidarisée à une paroi verticale, diverses configurations étant réalisables.It should be noted that the shelter device 1 is not limited to an attachment to the ground, one end of each section can for example be fixed to the ground while the other is secured to a vertical wall, various configurations being achievable .

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, les panneaux sont en matériau souple ou semi-rigide.According to an additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, the panels are of flexible or semi-rigid material.

Les panneaux peuvent consister en des bandes semi-rigides, en matière plastique, ou souples en matière plastique ou en toile, et ils peuvent être translucides ou opaques.The panels may be semi-rigid, plastic, or flexible strips of plastic or fabric, and may be translucent or opaque.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, les deux bords opposés des panneaux, équipés chacun d'un jonc, sont parallèles.According to another additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, the two opposite edges of the panels, each equipped with a rod, are parallel.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, les deux bords opposés des panneaux, équipés chacun d'un jonc, ne sont pas parallèles.According to another additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, the two opposite edges of the panels, each equipped with a ring, are not parallel.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, les deux bords opposés des panneaux, équipés chacun d'un jonc, sont en forme de fuseau.According to another additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, the two opposite edges of the panels, each equipped with a ring, are spindle-shaped.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, chacun des profilés présente une forme sensiblement rectangulaire et plate.According to another additional characteristic of the shelter device according to the invention, each of the profiles has a substantially rectangular and flat shape.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, chacun des profilés présente une courbure dans le sens transversal, leur face intérieure étant concave tandis que leur face extérieure est convexe, ou inversement leur face intérieure est convexe tandis que leur face extérieure est concave.According to another additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, each of the profiles has a curvature in the transverse direction, their inner face being concave while their outer face is convex, or conversely their inner face is convex while their outer face is concave.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, les profilés comportent sur au moins l'un de leurs bords longitudinaux opposés parallèles, une seconde gorge rétentrice parallèle à la première.According to another additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, the profiles comprise on at least one of their parallel opposite longitudinal edges, a second retaining groove parallel to the first.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, il est possible, soit de doubler la paroi et plaçant dans chacune des gorges un panneau, soit de relier deux profilés voisins au moyen de deux ou plusieurs panneaux n'utilisant pas les mêmes gorges, en sorte de pouvoir créer une ouverture entre lesdits profilés en faisant coulisser et en stockant un ou plusieurs panneaux parallèlement à un autre.According to this embodiment, it is possible either to double the wall and placing in each of the grooves a panel, or to connect two adjacent profiles by means of two or more panels not using the same grooves, so as to create an opening between said sections by sliding and storing one or more panels parallel to another.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, il comporte des traverses rigides, s'étendant perpendiculairement entre deux profilés voisins, et assujetties à ces derniers par la coopération des extrémités desdites traverses avec la seconde gorge rétentrice desdits profilés.According to another additional feature of the shelter device according to the invention, it comprises rigid crosspieces, extending perpendicularly between two adjacent profiles, and secured thereto by the cooperation of the ends of said cross members with the second retaining groove of said profiles.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, les moyens d'immobilisation des extrémités des profilés, consistent en des embouts solidarisables chacun à une extrémité d'un profilé, et comprenant d'une part des moyens d'assujettissement à ladite extrémité par emboîtement, et d'autre part des moyens de solidarisation au sol ou à une structure.According to another additional characteristic of the shelter device according to the invention, the means for immobilizing the ends of the profiles consist of end-pieces each of which can be fixed at one end of a profile, and comprising, on the one hand, means of subjection at said end by interlocking, and secondly means for securing to the ground or to a structure.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques du dispositif d'abri selon l'invention, ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and characteristics of the shelter device according to the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

En référence à la figure 1, on peut voir un dispositif d'abri 1 pour une piscine extérieure 2.With reference to the figure 1 , we can see a shelter device 1 for an outdoor pool 2.

Le dispositif d'abri est constitué de l'assemblage de profilés 3 et de panneaux 4, les profilés 3 étant agencés en forme d'arceaux successifs, tandis que les panneaux 4 s'étendent entre deux profilés 3 voisins.The shelter device consists of the assembly of sections 3 and panels 4, the profiles 3 being arranged in the form of successive arches, while the panels 4 extend between two adjacent sections 3.

En référence à la figure 2, on peut voir une coupe transversale d'un profilé 3 et de panneaux 4.With reference to the figure 2 a cross-section of a profile 3 and panels 4 can be seen.

Le profilé 3 présente transversalement une forme globalement rectangulaire, et comporte au niveau de chacun de ses bords longitudinaux 30 une gorge rétentrice 31, comprenant une partie interne 32 de section ronde, tandis que son ouverture 33 est étroite, c'est-à-dire de largeur inférieure au diamètre de la section ronde de la partie interne 32.The profile 3 has a generally rectangular shape transversely, and comprises at each of its longitudinal edges 30 a retaining groove 31, comprising an inner portion 32 of round section, while its opening 33 is narrow, that is to say of width less than the diameter of the round section of the inner part 32.

Chacun des panneaux 4 consiste en une bande 40 de matériau souple ou semi-rigide, dont les deux bords longitudinaux opposés sont munis chacun d'un jonc 41 engagé par coulissement dans la partie interne 32, tandis que la bande passe dans l'ouverture 33.Each of the panels 4 consists of a strip 40 of flexible or semi-rigid material, whose two opposite longitudinal edges are each provided with a ring 41 slidably engaged in the inner part 32, while the strip passes into the opening 33 .

La tension exercée sur les panneaux 4 entre deux profilés 3, et le mode de fixation des panneaux 4 aux profilés 3, assurent une parfaite étanchéité de l'abri 1.The tension exerted on the panels 4 between two sections 3, and the method of fixing the panels 4 to the profiles 3, ensure a perfect seal of the shelter 1.

En référence à la figure 3a, on peut voir une variante du profilé 3, qui consiste en ce qu'il présente une légère courbure dans le sens transversal, sa face intérieure 34 étant concave tandis que sa face extérieure 35 est convexe, cette configuration donnant une meilleure tenue des profilés 3 lorsqu'ils sont cintrés en arceaux, et donc une plus grande rigidité à l'abri 1.With reference to the figure 3a we can see a variant of the section 3, which consists in that it has a slight curvature in the transverse direction, its inner face 34 being concave while its outer face 35 is convex, this configuration giving better strength of the profiles 3 when bent in arches, and therefore greater rigidity in the shelter 1.

En référence à la figure 3b on peut voir une variante dans laquelle le profilé 3 comporte une face intérieure 36 convexe et une face extérieure 37 concave, cette configuration donnant également une meilleure tenue des profilés 3.With reference to the figure 3b we can see a variant in which the profile 3 has an inner convex face 36 and a concave outer face 37, this configuration also giving a better holding of the profiles 3.

Les profilés 3 sont réalisés dans une matière plastique semi-rigide, en sorte que les profilés 3 puissent être cintrés pour former des arceaux au-dessus du bassin 20 et de la plage 21 de la piscine 2.The profiles 3 are made of a semi-rigid plastic, so that the profiles 3 can be bent to form arches above the pool 20 and the beach 21 of the pool 2.

La formation des arceaux nécessite de maintenir fermement les extrémités 38 des profilés 3, ce qui peut être réalisé de différentes manières, l'une d'elles a été représentée sur les figures 5a et 5b.The formation of the arches requires firmly holding the ends 38 of the profiles 3, which can be achieved in different ways, one of them has been shown on the Figures 5a and 5b .

Sur la figure 5a on peut voir une extrémité 38 d'un profilé 3, à laquelle est assujetti par emboîtement un embout 5, lequel comporte un patin 50 engagé dans la gorge rétentrice 22 d'une glissière 23, elle-même intégrée à la plage 21.On the figure 5a we can see an end 38 of a section 3, to which is subject by interlocking a tip 5, which comprises a shoe 50 engaged in the retaining groove 22 of a slide 23, itself integrated in the beach 21.

La coopération du patin 50 avec la glissière 23, permet le maintien de l'extrémité 38 du profilé 3, et donc la mise en forme d'arceau de ce dernier.The cooperation of the shoe 50 with the slide 23, allows the maintenance of the end 38 of the profile 3, and thus the shaping of the latter.

On notera que selon les besoins, l'embout 5 peut permettre un simple ancrage, tandis que le patin peut être remplacé par moyen de roulement.Note that as necessary, the tip 5 can allow a simple anchoring, while the pad can be replaced by rolling means.

La hauteur de l'abri 1 est bien entendu dépendante des qualités de flexion de la matière dont sont faits les profilés 3, ainsi que de la longueur de ceux-ci.The height of the shelter 1 is of course dependent on the flexural qualities of the material of which the profiles 3 are made, as well as the length thereof.

Sur la figure 5a, l'embout 5 est emboîté à l'intérieur du profilé 3 qui est donc creux, il est toutefois possible, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 5b, que l'extrémité 38 du profilé soit emboîtée dans l'embout 5 qui est creux, et qui présente en périphérie des ouvertures, non visibles, destinées à permettre le passage des panneaux 4.On the figure 5a , the tip 5 is fitted inside the profile 3 which is hollow, it is however possible, as shown on the figure 5b , that the end 38 of the profile is nested in the tip 5 which is hollow, and which has at the periphery openings, not visible, intended to allow the passage of the panels 4.

En référence maintenant à la figure 4, on peut voir une autre variante de réalisation du profilé 3, dont les bords longitudinaux 30 comportent chacun deux gorges rétentrices 31, destinées chacune à contenir le jonc 41 d'un panneau 4.Referring now to the figure 4 we can see another variant of the profile 3, whose edges longitudinal 30 each comprise two retaining grooves 31, each intended to contain the ring 41 of a panel 4.

De tels profilés 3 permettent de faire coulisser l'un des panneaux 4 parallèlement à l'autre, afin, par exemple, de créer une ouverture dans l'abri 1, un accès par exemple.Such profiles 3 can slide one of the panels 4 parallel to each other, for example, to create an opening in the shelter 1, access for example.

On notera que la seconde gorge rétentrice 31, et plus particulièrement celle disposée du côté intérieur, peut également permettre l'assujettissement d'une traverse, non représentée, intercalée perpendiculairement entre deux profilés 3 voisins en ayant des extrémités configurées pour coopérer avec les gorges 31, et permettant d'entretoiser les profilés 3, de manière à rigidifier l'abri 1, notamment lorsque les panneaux 4 sont souples.Note that the second retaining groove 31, and more particularly that disposed on the inner side, may also allow the securing of a crossbar, not shown, interposed perpendicularly between two adjacent sections 3 having ends configured to cooperate with the grooves 31 , and to brace the sections 3, so as to stiffen the shelter 1, especially when the panels 4 are flexible.

En référence maintenant à la figure 6, on peut voir une extrémité 10 d'un abri 1, laquelle est fermée en utilisant des profilés 3 cintrés en forme d'arceau, disposés selon des plans inclinés, voire un plan horizontal pour celui le plus extrême, et qui sont reliés par des panneaux 6, de conception identique à celle des panneaux 4, mais présentant une forme de fuseau.Referring now to the figure 6 , we can see an end 10 of a shelter 1, which is closed by using arcuate curved sections 3 arranged in inclined planes, or even a horizontal plane for the most extreme, and which are connected by panels 6, identical in design to the panels 4, but having a spindle shape.

L'abri 1 selon l'invention est ainsi construit en utilisant des profilés 3 coupés à dimension, ainsi que des panneaux 4 également coupés à dimension, de manière à permettre une construction sur mesure avec des éléments standards.The shelter 1 according to the invention is thus constructed by using sections 3 cut to size, as well as panels 4 also cut to size, so as to allow custom construction with standard elements.
