Description

La présente invention a trait à une bride de maintien d'un film d'étanchéité sur le bord d'un orifice ménagé dans une paroi d'un bassin.The present invention relates to a flange for holding a sealing film on the edge of an orifice in a wall of a basin.

Par orifice, on désigne ici une ouverture soit destinée à recevoir un accessoire, par exemple un projecteur ou une buse de nage à contre courant, soit destinée à l'évacuation du liquide contenu dans le bassin. Dans ce cas, une bonde peut être insérée dans l'orifice. Cet orifice est ménagé dans une paroi, qu'il s'agisse d'une paroi latérale ou d'une paroi de fond du bassin. Par bassin, on désigne tout ouvrage maçonné, préfabriqué et/ou réalisé en polymère destiné à être rempli de liquide, par exemple d'eau. Il peut donc s'agir, entre autres, d'une piscine, d'un spa, d'un jacuzzi ou d'un bassin d'ornement. Dans tous les cas, les parois du bassin sont recouvertes d'un film, tel qu'un liner, destiné à assurer l'étanchéité de l'ensemble des parois du bassin.By orifice means an opening for receiving an accessory, for example a floodlight or a counter-current jet nozzle, or for discharging the liquid contained in the basin. In this case, a plug can be inserted into the orifice. This orifice is formed in a wall, whether it is a side wall or a bottom wall of the basin. Basin means any masonry work, prefabricated and / or made of polymer to be filled with liquid, for example water. It can be, among other things, a swimming pool, a spa, a Jacuzzi or an ornamental pond. In all cases, the walls of the pool are covered with a film, such as a liner, intended to seal all the walls of the pool.

L'expression « bord d'un orifice » employé par la suite désigne autant le bord d'un orifice que le bord d'un accessoire lorsque ce dernier est inséré dans l'orifice et que le bord de l'accessoire couvre le bord de l'orifice.The term "edge of a hole" used later means both the edge of a hole and the edge of an accessory when the latter is inserted into the hole and the edge of the accessory covers the edge of the hole. the orifice.

Si la plupart des orifices, par exemple les orifices d'évacuation ménagés dans les parois de fond des bassins, sont de forme circulaire, leurs diamètres sont variables et adaptés aux dimensions des accessoires qu'ils reçoivent, par exemple une bonde d'évacuation. De plus, chaque orifice est associé, de manière amovible, à une bride donnée, destinée à assurer le maintien d'un film d'étanchéité sur les bords de l'orifice. Les bords de l'orifice et/ou les bords de l'accessoire ainsi que la bride sont équipés de trous pour le passage d'organes de fixation, généralement des trous taraudés pour la réception de vis. De cette manière, il est possible d'enlever la bride pour, par exemple, changer le film d'étanchéité, pour changer la bride lorsque celle-ci est abîmée ou encore pour remplacer un joint d'étanchéité situé entre la bride et l'orifice. US-A-2006/015997 , US-A-5 408 706 et US-A-5 195 191 fournissent des exemples de brides du type défini au préambule de la revendication 1 annexée.Although most of the orifices, for example the discharge orifices formed in the bottom walls of the basins, are of circular shape, their diameters are variable and adapted to the dimensions of the accessories they receive, for example a drain plug. In addition, each orifice is associated, removably, with a given flange, intended to maintain a sealing film on the edges of the orifice. The edges of the orifice and / or the edges of the accessory and the flange are provided with holes for the passage of fasteners, usually threaded holes for receiving screws. In this way, it is possible to remove the flange to, for example, change the sealing film, to change the flange when it is damaged or to replace a seal located between the flange and the flange. orifice. US-2006/015997 , US-A-5,408,706 and US-A-5,195,191 provide examples of flanges of the type defined in the preamble of appended claim 1.

La demanderesse a constaté que, pour le seul domaine de la piscine, environ onze modèles différents de brides pour bondes de fond équipent environ 80 % du marché, cela sans compter les modèles de brides utilisées dans les bassins d'ornement, les spa et/ou pour d'autres types d'orifice, tels que ceux recevant des projecteurs. Cela implique que le nombre, les dimensions et/ou la répartition des trous pour le passage des organes de fixation varient d'une bride à l'autre, chaque bride étant dédié à un accessoire ou un orifice donné donc à des organes de fixation donnés. De ce fait, lorsque la bride est défectueuse, par exemple lorsqu'elle est cassée, il est nécessaire d'avoir à disposition une bride de remplacement correspondant au type d'orifice concerné, caractérisé par le nombre, les dimensions et/ou la répartition des organes de fixation dédiés à ce type d'orifice. Ceci oblige donc l'utilisateur, à savoir un technicien de maintenance, à avoir lors de son intervention un stock important de brides pour différents types d'orifice.The plaintiff has found that, for the sole area of the pool, about eleven different models of bottom bolster flanges equip about 80% of the market, that not counting the models of flanges used in the ornamental ponds, the spa and / or for other types of port, such as those receiving projectors. This implies that the number, the dimensions and / or the distribution of the holes for the passage of the fasteners vary from one flange to another, each flange being dedicated to a given accessory or orifice and therefore to given fasteners. . Therefore, when the flange is defective, for example when it is broken, it is necessary to have available a replacement flange corresponding to the type of orifice concerned, characterized by the number, dimensions and / or distribution of fasteners dedicated to this type of orifice. This therefore requires the user, namely a maintenance technician, to have during his intervention a large stock of flanges for different types of orifice.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant une bride de maintien d'un film d'étanchéité sur le bord d'un orifice propre à s'adapter à différents organes de fixation de la bride sur l'orifice et aux différentes tailles d'orifices.It is to these drawbacks that the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a flange for holding a sealing film on the edge of an orifice adapted to adapt to different fastening members of the flange on the inside. orifice and the different sizes of orifices.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une bride de maintien d'un film d'étanchéité sur le bord d'un orifice ménagé dans une paroi d'un bassin, la bride étant telle que définie à la revendication 1.For this purpose, the invention relates to a flange for holding a sealing film on the edge of an orifice in a wall of a basin, the flange being as defined in claim 1.

Grâce aux moyens de positionnement, on peut adapter cette bride au bord de l'orifice, quel que soit le type d'orifice, c'est-à-dire quel que soit le type des organes de fixation dédiés à cet orifice. La bride conforme à l'invention est, en quelque sorte, une bride universelle.Thanks to the positioning means, this flange can be adapted to the edge of the orifice, whatever the type of orifice, that is to say regardless of the type of fasteners dedicated to this orifice. The flange according to the invention is, in a way, a universal flange.

Des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention sont spécifiés aux revendications dépendantes.Advantageous but non-mandatory aspects of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

L'invention concerne également un bassin tel que défini à la revendication 10.The invention also relates to a pool as defined in claim 10.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'une bride réalisée conformément à l'invention, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une bride conforme à l'invention à partir de la face destinée à être visible une fois la bride mise en place sur un orifice,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, à plus petite échelle, de la face de la bride opposée à celle représentée à la figure 1, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective, simplifiée et à une autre échelle, des différents éléments, à savoir la bride et une grille de protection, en position de préassemblage, un orifice ménagé dans une paroi un bassin, un joint et une partie d'un film d'étanchéité étant également représentés.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly on reading the following description of a flange made in accordance with the invention, given solely by way of example and made with reference to in the accompanying drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a flange according to the invention from the face intended to be visible once the flange is placed on an orifice,
  • the figure 2 is a perspective view, on a smaller scale, of the face of the flange opposite to that shown in FIG. figure 1 , and
  • the figure 3 is a perspective view, simplified and on a different scale, of the various elements, namely the flange and a protective grid, in the preassembled position, an orifice formed in a wall a basin, a joint and a portion of a film sealing is also shown.

La figure 1 illustre une bride 1 conforme à l'invention, vue à partir de la face 2 dite supérieure à savoir la face 2 destinée à rester visible une fois la bride 1 en place au dessus d'un orifice. La face supérieure 2 de la bride 1 permet la mise en oeuvre d'organes de fixation, non représentés, de la bride 1 sur le bord d'un orifice ou d'un accessoire 3 inséré dans l'orifice. Par la suite, il sera fait référence à une bride 1 de maintien d'un film d'étanchéité 4 autour d'une bonde 3 d'évacuation, formant un accessoire inséré dans un orifice ménagé dans une paroi 5 constitutive du fond d'une piscine, étant entendu que l'invention concerne, de manière générale, une bride de maintien d'un film d'étanchéité autour d'un orifice, pourvu ou non d'un accessoire et ménagé dans une paroi quelconque d'un bassin.The figure 1 illustrates a flange 1 according to the invention, seen from the so-called upper face 2, namely the face 2 intended to remain visible once the flange 1 in place over an orifice. The upper face 2 of the flange 1 allows the implementation of fasteners, not shown, of the flange 1 on the edge of an orifice or an accessory 3 inserted into the orifice. Subsequently, reference will be made to a flange 1 for holding a film 4 sealing around a drain 3, forming an accessory inserted into an orifice formed in a wall 5 constituting the bottom of a pool, it being understood that the invention relates, in general, a holding flange a sealing film around an orifice, provided or not with an accessory and provided in any wall of a basin.

Le film d'étanchéité 4 ou liner dans le domaine de la piscine, est disposé sur le pourtour de l'orifice ou de l'accessoire 3. Une découpe 6 dans le liner permet l'accès à l'orifice. Ce dernier a, dans l'exemple, une forme circulaire.The sealing film 4 or liner in the field of the pool, is disposed around the periphery of the orifice or accessory 3. A cutout 6 in the liner allows access to the orifice. The latter has, in the example, a circular shape.

Cette bride 1 est représentée aux différentes figures sous forme d'anneau circulaire plat. En variante, la forme de la bride et/ou de son perçage central 7 est différente, par exemple rectangulaire ou carrée. La bride 1 est réalisée en un matériau rigide, par exemple en polymère. En variante, elle est réalisée en métal.This flange 1 is shown in the various figures in the form of a flat circular ring. Alternatively, the shape of the flange and / or its central bore 7 is different, for example rectangular or square. The flange 1 is made of a rigid material, for example polymer. Alternatively, it is made of metal.

La largeur L de la bride est adaptée pour que cette dernière puisse recouvrir, au moins partiellement, le bord de l'orifice ou de l'accessoire 3 en place dans l'orifice quel que soit le modèle et le diamètre de celui-ci, cela pour autant que l'orifice ait également une forme circulaire, au moins au niveau de sa périphérie. La largeur L de la bride est ainsi comprise 6 cm et 8 cm, son diamètre externe D entre 20 cm et 23 cm, pour un diamètre d du perçage central 7 compris entre 13 cm et15 cm.The width L of the flange is adapted so that the latter can cover, at least partially, the edge of the orifice or the accessory 3 in place in the orifice whatever the model and the diameter thereof, this as long as the orifice also has a circular shape, at least at its periphery. The width L of the flange is thus between 6 cm and 8 cm, its outer diameter D between 20 cm and 23 cm, for a diameter d of the central bore 7 of between 13 cm and 15 cm.

Sur la face supérieure 2 de la bride 1, plusieurs reliefs circulaires, concentriques au perçage central 7, lui-même circulaire, sont ménagés. Ces reliefs définissent des cercles 8 concentriques. Ils s'étendent perpendiculairement à partir de la face supérieure 2 en direction de l'extérieur du bassin lorsque la bride 1 est en position sur le fond 5 d'un bassin. En l'espèce, trois cercles concentriques 80, 81 , 82 ainsi que deux cercles périphériques 83, 84 délimitant, respectivement, les bords intérieur et extérieur de la bride 1 permettent de définir cinq diamètres différents. Ces diamètres correspondent aux diamètres externes des types d'orifice les plus fréquemment rencontrés pour une bonde 3 de fond de piscine.On the upper face 2 of the flange 1, several circular reliefs, concentric with the central bore 7, itself circular, are formed. These reliefs define concentric circles 8. They extend perpendicularly from the upper face 2 towards the outside of the basin when the flange 1 is in position on the bottom 5 of a basin. In the present case, three concentric circles 80, 81, 82 and two peripheral circles 83, 84 delimiting, respectively, the inner and outer edges of the flange 1 allow to define five different diameters. These diameters correspond to the external diameters of the types of orifice most frequently encountered for a pool bottom plug 3.

Le nombre de cercles concentriques 8 est adapté au nombre de diamètres que l'on souhaite couvrir avec une bride 1 conforme à l'invention. De ce fait, la largeur L de la bride est adaptée à l'étendu de la plage de diamètres couverts.The number of concentric circles 8 is adapted to the number of diameters that it is desired to cover with a flange 1 according to the invention. As a result, the width L of the flange is adapted to the extent of the range of diameters covered.

Des nervures radiales 9, régulièrement disposées, relient les différents cercles concentriques 8. Ces nervures permettent de rigidifier et renforcer la résistance mécanique de la bride 1 tout en délimitant entre deux cercles 80 à 84 voisins des zones Z, de forme trapézoïdale, dans lesquelles sont ménagés des moyens de positionnement.Radial ribs 9, regularly arranged, connect the different concentric circles 8. These ribs make it possible to stiffen and reinforce the mechanical strength of the flange 1 while delimiting between two neighboring circles 80 to 84 zones Z, of trapezoidal shape, in which are arranged positioning means.

Ces moyens de positionnement 10 déterminent, sur la bride 1, l'emplacement, pour chaque type d'orifice, des trous 12 réalisés sur le bord 11 de l'orifice ou de l'accessoire 3 et qui permettent le passage des organes de fixation de la bride 1 sur l'orifice ou sur l'accessoire 3. En d'autres termes, les moyens de positionnement 10 illustrent, sur la bride 1, l'emplacement de trous 12 taraudés ménagés sur le bord 11 pour le passage de vis.These positioning means 10 determine, on the flange 1, the location, for each type of orifice, holes 12 made on the edge 11 of the orifice or the accessory 3 and which allow the passage of fasteners of the flange 1 on the orifice or the accessory 3. In other words, the positioning means 10 illustrate, on the flange 1, the location of threaded holes 12 formed on the edge 11 for the passage of screws .

En l'espèce, sept types d'orifice sont repérés par les moyens de positionnement 10 de la bride 1. Les moyens de positionnement sont formés par des reliefs 10, globalement de forme cylindrique à base circulaire, dont le sommet 13 est configuré en creux. Les reliefs 10 sont fixés perpendiculairement à un plan principal P de la face supérieure 2 de la bride 1, à savoir la face destinée à être visible lorsque la bride 1 est en place. Le sommet 13 creux de chaque relief 10 est en forme d'entonnoir à fond plat 14. Le fond plat 14 est circulaire et d'un diamètre correspondant au diamètre de perçage du passage d'une vis constitutive d'un organe de fixation.In the present case, seven types of orifice are identified by the positioning means 10 of the flange 1. The positioning means are formed by reliefs 10, generally cylindrical in shape with a circular base, the vertex 13 is hollow configuration . The reliefs 10 are fixed perpendicular to a main plane P of the upper face 2 of the flange 1, namely the face intended to be visible when the flange 1 is in place. The hollow top 13 of each relief 10 is in the form of a flat bottom funnel 14. The flat bottom 14 is circular and of a diameter corresponding to the drilling diameter of the passage of a screw constituting a fixing member.

Chaque relief 10 est pourvu d'un moyen d'identification 15. En l'occurrence, il s'agit d'un chiffre compris entre 1 et 7 inscrit sur la face interne 16 d'au moins un sommet 13. Ici, certains sommets 13 sont munis d'un moyen d'identification. En variante, tous les sommets sont identifiés. En variante, on utilise des lettres et/ou une combinaison de lettres ou de chiffres et/ou de couleurs. En variante, d'autres moyens d'identification, tels des pictogrammes, sont utilisés.Each relief 10 is provided with an identification means 15. In this case, it is a number between 1 and 7 inscribed on the inner face 16 of at least one vertex 13. Here, certain vertices 13 are provided with identification means. Alternatively, all the vertices are identified. Alternatively, we use letters and / or a combination of letters or numbers and / or colors. Alternatively, other identification means, such as pictograms, are used.

Ainsi, par exemple, tous les reliefs 10 marqués « 3 » correspondent aux emplacements, sur la bride 1, des trous 12 de passage des organes de fixation dans la bonde 3, celle-ci étant référencée sous cette nomenclature.Thus, for example, all the reliefs marked "3" correspond to the locations, on the flange 1, of the holes 12 through which the fasteners pass through the plug 3, the latter being referenced under this nomenclature.

Deux reliefs 17, cylindriques à base circulaire, sont diamétralement disposés au voisinage du cercle 83 de plus petit diamètre, c'est-à-dire celui délimitant le perçage central 7 de la bride 1. Ces reliefs 17, creux sur toute leur hauteur et de plus petites dimensions que les autres reliefs 10, permettent le montage sur la bride 1, de manière amovible, d'une grille de protection 18.Two cylindrical reliefs 17 with a circular base, are diametrically arranged in the vicinity of the circle 83 of smaller diameter, that is to say the one delimiting the central bore 7 of the flange 1. These reliefs 17, hollow over their entire height and smaller dimensions than the other reliefs 10, allow mounting on the flange 1, removably, a protective grid 18.

Cette grille de protection 18, représentée à la figure 3, limite l'entrée de souillures par exemple de feuilles, dans l'orifice ménagé dans la paroi. Cette grille 18 a, dans l'exemple, une face externe 19 légèrement arrondie, la partie bombée étant orientée vers l'extérieur du bassin lorsque la bride 1 est en place. En variante, la grille 18 a d'autres formes.This protective grid 18, shown in FIG. figure 3 , limits the entry of soils, for example sheets, in the orifice in the wall. This grid 18 has, in the example, an outer face 19 slightly rounded, the curved portion being oriented towards the outside of the basin when the flange 1 is in place. Alternatively, the grid 18 has other shapes.

La face 20 de la bride 1 opposée à la face 2 représentée à la figure 1 est illustrée à la figure 2. Cette face 20 est plane sur toute la largeur L de la bride 1. Ainsi le maintien d'un joint 29, tel qu'illustré à la figure 3, entre la bride 1 et un film d'étanchéité 4 est aisé.The face 20 of the flange 1 opposite the face 2 shown in FIG. figure 1 is illustrated in the figure 2 . This face 20 is flat over the entire width L of the flange 1. Thus the maintenance of a seal 29, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 between the flange 1 and a sealing film 4 is easy.

Deux orifices 22, correspondent aux extrémités ouvertes des reliefs 17 qui permettent le montage de la grille 18 sont visibles à la figure 2.Two orifices 22, corresponding to the open ends of the reliefs 17 which allow the mounting of the grid 18 are visible at the figure 2 .

Dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, pour éviter tout glissement et déformation du joint 21, une gorge circulaire, ménagée sur la face 20, forme un logement de réception du joint. La profondeur de la gorge est adaptée pour que, lorsque le joint 21 est en position dans la gorge, une face du joint soit coplanaire à la face 20 de la bride 1. En variante non illustrée, plusieurs gorges concentriques reçoivent plusieurs joints. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le joint est un joint souple formé par un cordon de silicone.In an embodiment not shown, to prevent slippage and deformation of the seal 21, a circular groove formed on the face 20 forms a receiving housing of the seal. The depth of the groove is adapted so that, when the seal 21 is in position in the groove, a seal face is coplanar with the face 20 of the flange 1. As a variant not shown, several concentric grooves receive several seals. In another embodiment, the seal is a flexible seal formed by a silicone bead.

Lorsqu'on souhaite fixer une bride sur les bords d'un orifice en remplacement de la bride d'origine, l'utilisateur consulte, dans un premier temps, un document, sous forme de notice ou de tableau, dans lequel sont répertoriés les différents types d'orifice et accessoires, ou du moins les plus fréquemment rencontrés pour un type de bassin donné. Dans l'exemple, il s'agit d'un document préétabli dans lequel sont indiqués les modèles les plus courants de bondes 3 d'évacuation pour fond 5 de piscine. L'identification se fait aisément en comparant les références inscrites sur l'orifice ou l'accessoire 3 avec celles reprises dans le document.When it is desired to fix a flange on the edges of an orifice to replace the original flange, the user firstly consults a document, in the form of a notice or a table, in which are listed the different types of orifice and accessories, or at least the most frequently encountered for a given type of basin. In the example, it is a pre-established document in which are indicated the most common models of drain drains 3 for pool bottom 5. The identification is easily done by comparing the references on the orifice or the accessory 3 with those listed in the document.

A chaque référence, donc à chaque type d'orifice répertorié, est associé un moyen d'identification. Ici, un numéro correspond à un type donné d'orifice. L'utilisateur peut ainsi, dans un second temps, positionner la bride 1 au dessus de l'orifice en faisant coïncider un relief 10, dont le marquage correspond, ici, au modèle de bonde installée, avec un trou 12 ménagé dans le bord 11 de la bonde 3 et qui couvre le bord de l'orifice.Each reference, and therefore each type of orifice listed, is associated with an identification means. Here, a number corresponds to a given type of orifice. The user can thus, in a second step, position the flange 1 above the orifice by matching a relief 10, the marking of which corresponds, here, to the installed bung model, with a hole 12 formed in the edge 11 of the bung 3 and which covers the edge of the orifice.

Les autres reliefs 10 permettant le passage des organes de fixation pour ce type de bonde, et qui sont répartis sur un 82 des cercles de la bride 1, sont positionnés automatiquement au dessus des autres trous 12, régulièrement répartis sur le bord 11 de la bonde 3.The other reliefs 10 allowing the passage of the fasteners for this type of bung, and which are distributed over a 82 of the circles of the flange 1, are automatically positioned above the other holes 12, regularly distributed on the edge 11 of the bung 3.

Ainsi, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de réaliser un gabarit pour chaque type d'orifice, l'utilisateur peut effectuer directement le perçage de la bride 1, l'insertion des vis et le blocage en position de la bride. Celle-ci appuie sur le joint 21 et maintien donc de manière étanche le film d'étanchéité 4 en place autour de l'orifice.Thus, without it being necessary to make a template for each type of orifice, the user can directly drill the flange 1, the insertion of the screws and the locking in position of the flange. This presses on the seal 21 and thus seals the sealing film 4 in place around the orifice.

Par encliquetage ou clipsage dans les reliefs 17 d'ergots, non visibles, ménagés sur la face inférieure 23 de la grille de protection 18, il est aisé de mettre en place ensuite cette dernière sur la bride 1.By clipping or clipping in the reliefs 17 pins, not visible, formed on the underside 23 of the protective grid 18, it is easy to put the latter then on the flange 1.

Dans une variante non illustrée, la bride est plus épaisse, ce qui permet de rigidifier celle-ci sans qu'il soit nécessaire de réaliser des nervures de renfort. Seuls les cercles sur lesquels sont disposés les reliefs sont préservés.In a variant not shown, the flange is thicker, which makes it possible to stiffen it without the need to make reinforcing ribs. Only the circles on which the reliefs are arranged are preserved.

En variante, d'autres moyens de positionnement peuvent être envisagés, par exemple un marquage sous forme de poinçon, de croix en relief ou en creux.As a variant, other positioning means may be envisaged, for example a mark in the form of a punch, a cross in relief or a recess.

Il peut être prévu un jeu de plusieurs brides, chaque bride correspondant à un jeu d'orifices donnés afin de couvrir au mieux l'ensemble des orifices.It can be provided a set of several flanges, each flange corresponding to a given set of orifices to best cover all the orifices.

La forme et/ou la couleur de la grille peuvent être changées lorsque cette dernière est fixée sur une bride en seconde monte.The shape and / or the color of the grid can be changed when the latter is fixed on a flange in retrofit.

Une telle bride permet, à partir d'un seul produit, de pouvoir fixer un film d'étanchéité sur le bord de plusieurs types d'orifice.Such a flange allows, from a single product, to be able to fix a sealing film on the edge of several types of orifice.
