- the modular and multifunctional covering device 10 is arranged to cover a basin 1 extending above and substantially parallel to the surface of said basin 1.
- the basin 1 concerned by the invention can consist as a non-limiting example in a swimming pool, or any other type of tank requiring a cover to close and / or secure access.
- This basin 1 may furthermore have any shape of possible contour, geometric or not, in parallelogram or not, and by way of non-limiting example in the form of a bean visible by transparency in FIG. 1.
- the covering device 10 generally has a parallelogram shape delimiting a covering surface which is preferably greater than the surface of the basin to fully perform its function of covering the basin 1 and safety against accidental falls in the basin 1.
- the Cover device 10 comprises a first modular cover sheet 20, made up of first cover elements 21, arranged adjacently, aligned in a first plane PI and assembled together by transverse supports 30. These transverse supports 30 are parallel to each other and arranged to rest on the periphery of the basin 1, two of these transverse supports 30a , 30b being disposed at the ends of said first cover modular cover.
- This modular construction method allows the manufacture of a covering device 10 to the desired length by assembling an adequate number of first sheet elements 21 and transverse supports 30.
- These first sheet elements 21 are made of rectangular panels, of identical dimensions whose width defines a standard width.
- the transverse supports 30 are therefore arranged at a regular interval which corresponds to the standard width of these first sheet members 21.
- the cover device 10 further comprises two first end cover elements 22, which may be of different width than that of the first covering elements 21, in particular to be able to adjust the length of the covering device 10 to the length of the basin 1, if this length is not a multiple of the standard width.
- the gap between the two transverse end supports 30a, 30b and the other transverse supports 30 is different.
- a single first end cover element 22 of different width could also be suitable.
- the end cover member 22 located on the side provided for storing the cover device 10 i.e. on the side of the securing means 50 and the transverse support 30a
- the plurality of transverse supports 30, 30a, 30b form a framework to support and stiffen the cover device 10. This results in increased security. This configuration also increases the tension of the cover device 10. It is thus possible to prevent it from being in contact with the water of the basin 1, when it is arranged above a basin 1
- the cover device 10 forms in its own right a safety cover that meets the safety standards in force, that is to say permanently ensuring the safety of the pond 1 by avoiding any accidental drop in the water.
- it comprises securing means 50 and tensioning means 60 which cooperate on the one hand with the two transverse end supports 30a, 30b and on the other hand with anchored pitons (not shown).

- the first covering elements 21 consist of a net, for example of polyester, whose meshs offer a void ratio with respect to the mesh size greater than 50%.
- the net may be coated, for example, with polyvinyl chloride or any other suitable thermoplastic material to allow welding assembly.
- the construction of the mesh of the net must be made so that the chain of the net can not slip on the frame of the net if an obstacle was to get caught in a mesh of the net.
- a thread whose chain / weft junctions are secured for example by means of a knot, a weld point, fastening means, or by knitting or weaving the stitches, before the coating of polyvinyl chloride, will be preferred.
- the first end cover elements 22 may be made of a material other than that of the other first covering elements 21, such as a polyvinyl chloride, whether or not reinforced, to provide additional functions, such as good mechanical strength. , a long life, with a solar reflection index more or less important. Of course, these examples are not limiting.
- the first covering elements 21, 22 have on their transverse edges mounting members 23 arranged to cooperate with the first mounting zones. 34 of complementary shape provided in the transverse supports 30 to achieve a reversible assembly of the first sheet elements 21, 22 between them. This reversible assembly facilitates their assembly and allows their disassembly in the event of repair or replacement of one or more first covering members 21, 22.
- the mounting members 23 are fixed along the transverse edges of each first covering element 21, 22 by any suitable process, such as welding, gluing, sewing, etc.
- the cover device 10 comprises a second modular cover sheet 40 which is superimposed and substantially parallel to the first modular cover sheet 20. It does not necessarily have the same length and may not cover the first end cover elements 22 of the first cover sheet 20 for example.
- This second cover sheet 40 has different technical properties from those of the first covering sheet 20 to add an additional function to the protection and safety function of the first cover sheet 20. It allows in particular to adapt the technical performance from the cover device 10 to the seasons by adding either a greenhouse effect or a filter effect to light.
- This second covering sheet 40 consists of second sheet members 41, arranged adjacently, aligned in a second plane P2 substantially parallel to the first plane PI, and assembled to the first sheet elements 21 by fixing means 80.
- Tarpaulin elements 41 consist of rectangular panels, of identical or slightly smaller width than the width of the first covering elements 21 according to their method of assembly.
- the second covering elements 41 comprise, on their transverse edges, mounting members 42 arranged to cooperate with second complementary-shaped mounting regions 82 provided in the fixing means 80 making it possible to form a reversible assembly of the second covering elements 41 relative to each other. to the first sheet elements 21.
- This reversible assembly facilitates their assembly and allows their disassembly in case of repair or replacement of the second tarpaulin elements 41 of a type by second cover elements 41 of another type for modulating the structure of the second cover covering 40 according to the needs and / or seasons.
- the mounting members 42 are attached along the transverse edges of each second sheet member 41 by any suitable method, such as welding, gluing, sewing, etc.
- the second covering elements 41 are preferably made of a flexible material whose nature is chosen according to needs and / or seasons. For summer use, the material of the second covering elements 41 will be selected from a flexible material, transparent or translucent, armed or not. For example, they may have a solar factor g between 60% and 100%.
- the weight of a second tarpaulin element 41 is between 50 and 300 g / m 2 .
- They may be made of polymer, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyethylene, polyethylene-vinyl acetate or the like. They can also be made of fluoropolymers, such as polyethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride or the like.
- Such second sheet members 41 allow to let the sun rays to contribute to the warming of the water contained in the basin 1 by the greenhouse effect. They can also filter certain wavelengths. By way of example, it is possible to choose a material designed to stop the wavelengths of 280 and 310 nm responsible for the destruction of chlorine and / or the wavelengths of 400 to 700 nm responsible for the development of algae (by choice of material, treatment, coating and / or additives such as pigments).
- the material of the second covering elements 41 will be selected from a flexible material, opaque or semi-opaque, armed or not. They may be made of polyvinyl chloride or not, polyethylene, polypropylene or the like.
- the modular construction of the first and second covering sheets 20, 40 makes it possible to widen the possible combinations of materials and to assemble elements of sheets 21, 41 between them of the same nature or of different natures.
- the transverse supports 30, 30a, 30b each comprise a support bar 31, 32, 33 of length at least equal to the length of the first elements of sheets 21, 22, and preferably equal to this length to prevent them from overflowing. longitudinal edges of the covering device 10.
- the support bars 31, 32, 33 are preferably identical for the same covering device 10, but could also be different.
- the support bars intended to constitute the transverse end supports 30a, 30b may be different in size and / or section. They advantageously have a section that is symmetrical with respect to a first median plane P perpendicular to the planes PI and P2 in which the first and second covering sheets 20, 40 respectively extend above a basin 1.
