Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlussanordnung zum Abdecken von offenen Behältern mit einer darin befindlichen Flüssigkeit, insbesondere zum Abdecken von Schwimmbecken, welche zumindest zwei Basiselemente umfasst, wobei wenigstens ein Basiselement mit einer seiner Längsseiten mit einer dieser gegenüberliegenden Längsseite eines benachbarten Basiselementes zumindest abschnittsweise beweglich über wenigstens ein Verbindungsmittel, welches wenigstens eine Basis, sowie wenigstens ein Hakenelement aufweist, verbunden ist und an der, der mit dem Verbindungsmittel verbundenen Längsseite gegenüberliegenden, Längsseite wenigstens eine Verbindungseinrichtung aufweist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung wenigstens einen Schenkel aufweist, wobei das Verbindungsmittel wenigstens eine Öffnung aufweist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung wenigstens ein Rastelement aufweist, welches mit dem Verbindungsmittel in Wirkverbindung steht.The invention relates to a closure arrangement for covering open containers with a liquid located therein, in particular for covering swimming pools, which comprises at least two base elements, at least one base element with one of its longitudinal sides with one of its opposite longitudinal sides of an adjacent base element at least partially movable over at least one Connecting means, which has at least one base and at least one hook element, is connected and has at least one connecting device on the longitudinal side opposite the longitudinal side connected to the connecting means, the connecting device having at least one leg, the connecting means having at least one opening, wherein the connecting device has at least one latching element which is in operative connection with the connecting means.

Derartige Verschlussanordnungen zum Abdecken von offenen Behältern mit einer darin befindlichen Flüssigkeit sind im Stand der Technik beschrieben.Such closure arrangements for covering open containers with a liquid located therein are described in the prior art.

So beschreibt beispielsweise die DE 196 46 117 C1 einen Solarrollladen für Schwimmbadabdeckungen, bei der jeder Rollladenstab eine Anzahl geschlossener Kammern (Hohlkammern), einen im Querschnitt T-förmigen Kupplungssteg und eine den Kupplungssteg aufnehmende, eine schlitzartige Öffnung aufweisende Aufnahme, besitzt und wobei jeder Rollladenstab auf seiner Oberseite aus transparentem Kunststoff besteht und seine Unterseite mit dunkler Farbe beschichtet oder durchgefärbt ist. Diese Rollladenstäbe sind in ihrer Herstellung insbesondere durch die unterschiedliche Beschichtung bzw. Färbung einzelner Bestandteile kostenaufwendig herzustellen.For example, the DE 196 46 117 C1 a solar roller shutter for swimming pool covers, in which each roller shutter slat has a number of closed chambers (hollow chambers), a coupling web with a T-shaped cross-section and a receptacle that receives the coupling web and has a slot-like opening, and each roller shutter slat consists of transparent plastic on its upper side and its The underside is coated with a dark color or colored through. These roller shutter slats are expensive to manufacture, in particular due to the different coating or coloring of individual components.

Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Rollladenstäbe und der daraus herzustellenden Schwimmbadabdeckungen besteht darin, dass mindestens die zwei Hohlkammern an den freien Enden eines jeden Rollladenstabes flüssigkeitsdicht zu verschließen sind, sodass die Schwimmbadabdeckung ihre Funktion erst erfüllen kann.Another disadvantage of these roller shutter slats and the swimming pool covers to be produced from them is that at least the two hollow chambers at the free ends of each roller shutter slat have to be closed in a liquid-tight manner so that the swimming pool cover can only fulfill its function.

Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Schwimmbadabdeckung besteht darin, dass bei Einführen des Kupplungssteges in die Aufnahmekammer, welches zur Herstellung einer Schwimmbadabdeckung erforderlich ist, diese Verbindung gegen Längsverschiebungen der einzelnen Rollladenstäbe zusätzlich zu sichern ist.Another disadvantage of this swimming pool cover is that when the coupling web is inserted into the receiving chamber, which is used to produce a swimming pool cover it is necessary to additionally secure this connection against longitudinal displacement of the individual roller shutter slats.

Eine weitere Verschlussanordnung zum Abdeckung von offenen Behältern mit einer darin befindlichen Flüssigkeit ist beispielsweise in der DE 195 08 953 C1 beschrieben. Dieser Hohlkörper aus Metall oder Kunststoff mit mindestens einer axialen Kammertrennwand und einem wasserdichten Verschluss, der aus einer mit Einfüll- und Entlüftungsöffnungen versehenen Kappe besteht, die formschlüssig in jede Kammer des Hohlkörpers einsetzbare Stopfen aufweist, an denen mit Abstand eine den Querschnitt der jeweiligen Kammer ausfüllende Kolbenplatte befestigt ist und bei der der zwischen Kolbenplatte und Kappe befindliche Hohlraum mit einem dauerelastischen Füllmittel, vorzugsweise auf Kunststoffbasis ausgefüllt ist, wobei in der Kappe jeweils mindestens ein über die Kammertrennwand führender Überlaufkanal für das Füllmittel vorgesehen ist. Der Hohlkörper ist dabei als Rollladenprofil ausgebildet und soll zu einer Schwimmbadabdeckung zusammengefügt sein, die auf der Wasseroberfläche aufliegt.Another closure arrangement for covering open containers with a liquid therein is for example in FIG DE 195 08 953 C1 described. This hollow body made of metal or plastic with at least one axial chamber partition and a watertight closure, which consists of a cap provided with filling and ventilation openings, which has a form-fitting plug that can be inserted into each chamber of the hollow body, on which at a distance a stopper that fills the cross-section of the respective chamber Piston plate is attached and in which the cavity located between the piston plate and cap is filled with a permanently elastic filler, preferably based on plastic, with at least one overflow channel for the filler being provided in the cap, which leads over the chamber partition wall. The hollow body is designed as a roller shutter profile and should be joined together to form a swimming pool cover that rests on the surface of the water.

Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass jede einzelne Hohlkammer eines Rollladenstabes mit einer eine spezielle Geometrie aufweisenden Abdichtvorrichtung zu versehen ist, die hier aus einer Kolbenplatte und einer dazwischen angeordneten dauerelastischen, von außen einzufüllenden Substanz besteht.The disadvantage here is that each individual hollow chamber of a roller shutter slat has to be provided with a sealing device which has a special geometry and which here consists of a piston plate and a permanently elastic substance to be filled in from the outside.

In dieser Ausführungsform ist eine derartige Schwimmbadabdeckung äußerst kostenintensiv in der Herstellung der Rollladenprofile und insbesondere in der Konfektion einzelner Rollladenstäbe, die an ihren beiden freien Enden flüssigkeitsdicht zu verschließen und zu einer Schwimmbadabdeckung zusammenzufügen sind.In this embodiment, such a swimming pool cover is extremely costly in the production of the roller shutter profiles and in particular in the manufacture of individual roller shutter slats, which have to be closed in a liquid-tight manner at their two free ends and joined together to form a swimming pool cover.

Weiterhin nachteilig bei den Lösungen im bekannten Stand der Technik ist die Tatsache, dass es bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung der Schwimmbadabdeckungen nicht auszuschließen ist, dass bei einzelnen Rollladenstäben die abdichtenden Endkappen nicht vollumfänglich dicht sind und so die Hohlkammern einzelnen Rollladenstäbe mit Flüssigkeit gefüllt sind und die Schwimmbadabdeckung nicht mehr auf der Oberfläche schwimmt.Another disadvantage of the solutions in the known state of the art is the fact that, when the swimming pool covers are used as intended, the sealing end caps of individual roller shutter slats are not completely tight and so the hollow chambers of the individual roller shutter slats are filled with liquid and the swimming pool cover is not more floating on the surface.

Die NL 7 608 900 A , welche den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 offenbart, offenbart eine Schwimmbadabdeckung, die aus einem schwimmenden, aufrollbaren Baldachin aus Hohllamellen, die an den Enden geschlossen sind und miteinander gelenkig verbunden sind, besteht.the NL 7 608 900 A , which discloses the preamble of claim 1, discloses a swimming pool cover consisting of a floating, roll-up canopy of hollow slats that are closed at the ends and are hinged together.

Diese haben entlang gegenüberliegender Längskanten in entgegengesetzter Richtung verlaufende Hakenabschnitte und gegenüberliegende Schließleistenabschnitte. Jedes Hakenprofil passt zwischen das Streifenprofil und das Hakenprofil der nächsten Lamelle, so dass es mit dem Hakenprofil der letzteren in Eingriff kommt. Um zu verhindern, dass die benachbarten Lamellen in Längsrichtung gegeneinander gleiten, wird aus dem Schließstreifen an der einen eine Querzunge herausgeschnitten.These have hook sections running in opposite directions along opposite longitudinal edges and opposite locking strip sections. Each hook profile fits between the strip profile and the hook profile of the next slat so that it engages with the hook profile of the latter. In order to prevent the adjacent slats from sliding against each other in the longitudinal direction, a transverse tongue is cut out of the closing strip on one side.

Diese wird durch eine entsprechend breite Öffnung im Hakenabschnitt der anderen nach innen gebogen, wobei ihr äußerstes Ende unter dem Hakenabschnitt der ersten Lamelle befestigt wird.This is bent inwards through a correspondingly wide opening in the hook section of the other, with its outermost end being fastened under the hook section of the first lamella.

Die DE 26 42 937 A1 offenbart einen Rollladenstab aus Kunststoff in Form eines Hohlkammerprofils, mit einem Hakenrand an der einen Längskante und einer zur Aufnahme eines solchen Hakenrandes ausgestalteten anderen Längskante, wobei das Hohlkammerprofil oder ein Teil desselben mit den Kammerwänden einstückigen Hart-Kunststoffschaum enthält. Weiterhin ist offenbart, dass der Kunststoff und der Kunststoffschaum aus PVC ist und eine Porengröße von weniger als 1 mm, die Oberflächenschicht eine Dicke von weniger als 0,3 mm aufweist.the DE 26 42 937 A1 discloses a roller shutter slat made of plastic in the form of a hollow chamber profile, with a hook edge on one longitudinal edge and another longitudinal edge designed to accommodate such a hook edge, the hollow chamber profile or a part thereof containing rigid plastic foam integral with the chamber walls. It is also disclosed that the plastic and the plastic foam are made of PVC and have a pore size of less than 1 mm, the surface layer has a thickness of less than 0.3 mm.

Hier setzt die Erfindung ein, die sich die Aufgabe gestellt hat, die Nachteile des bekannten Standes der Technik zu überwinden und eine Verschlussanordnung zum Abdecken von offenen Behältern mit einer darin befindlichen Flüssigkeit, insbesondere zum Abdecken von Schwimmbecken, aufzuzeigen, welche sowohl wirtschaftlich und kostengünstig herstellbar ist, als auch bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung zum Abdecken von Schwimmbecken keine axiale Verschiebungen der einzelnen Elemente zulässt und welche ein optisch ansprechendes Aussehen bei vollumfänglicher Funktionalität aufweist.This is where the invention comes in, which has the task of overcoming the disadvantages of the known prior art and showing a closure arrangement for covering open containers with a liquid contained therein, in particular for covering swimming pools, which can be produced economically and inexpensively is, as well as when used as intended to cover swimming pools, does not allow any axial displacement of the individual elements and which has a visually appealing appearance with full functionality.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous configurations are described in the subclaims.

Es hat sich überraschend herausgestellt, dass eine Verschlussanordnung zum Abdecken von offenen Behältern mit einer darin befindlichen Flüssigkeit, insbesondere zum Abdecken von Schwimmbecken, welche zumindest zwei Basiselemente umfasst, wobei das Basiselement eine Hohlkammer aufweist, wobei wenigstens ein Basiselement mit einer seiner Längsseiten mit einer dieser gegenüberliegenden Längsseite eines benachbarten Basiselements zumindest abschnittsweise beweglich über wenigstens ein Verbindungsmittel verbunden ist und an der, der mit dem Verbindungsmittel verbundenen Längsseite gegenüberliegenden Längsseite wenigstens eine Verbindungseinrichtung aufweist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung wenigstens einen Schenkel aufweist, wobei das Verbindungsmittel wenigstens eine Öffnung aufweist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung wenigstens ein Rastelement aufweist, welches mit dem Verbindungsmittel in Wirkverbindung steht wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung wenigstens ein Rastelement aufweist, welches mit dem Verbindungsmittel in Wirkverbindung steht, sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass wenigstens eine Seitenkante des Rastelementes in etwa einem spitzen Winkel zur Verbindungseinrichtung angeordnet ist. In dieser vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist es überraschenderweise erstmals möglich, erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung en zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei denen alle Basiselemente optimal, wirtschaftlich und kostengünstig gegen ein axiales verschieben zueinander gesichert sind. Insbesondere durch die Position und/oder die Geometrie des, aus dem Basiselements zu erstellenden, Rastelement es erstmals möglich, Bedarfsgerecht, baustellenfreundlich und den jeweiligen Anforderungen an die Geometrie, bzw. auch das Gewicht der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung erforderliche Rastelemente einzubringen, die ein axiales verschieben wirkungsvoll verhindern. Durch diese Merkmale ist es ebenfalls erstmals möglich, die Basiselemente einer erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung zumindest in axiale Richtung, verschiebesicher zueinander anzuordnen und zu fixieren.It has surprisingly been found that a closure arrangement for covering open containers with a liquid located therein, in particular for covering swimming pools, which comprises at least two base elements, the base element having a hollow chamber, at least one base element with one of its long sides with one of these opposite longitudinal side of an adjacent base element is at least partially movably connected via at least one connecting means and on the longitudinal side opposite the longitudinal side connected to the connecting means has at least one connecting device, the connecting device having at least one leg, the connecting means having at least one opening, the connecting device has at least one latching element which is in operative connection with the connecting means, the connecting device having at least one latching element which m with the lanyard is in operative connection, is characterized in that at least one side edge of the latching element is arranged at approximately an acute angle to the connecting device. In this advantageous embodiment, it is surprisingly possible for the first time to provide closure arrangements according to the invention in which all base elements are optimally, economically and inexpensively secured against axial displacement relative to one another. In particular, through the position and / or the geometry of the locking element to be created from the base element, it is possible for the first time to introduce locking elements that effectively move axially, as required, construction site-friendly and the respective requirements for the geometry, or also the weight of the closure arrangement according to the invention impede. These features also make it possible for the first time to arrange and fix the base elements of a closure arrangement according to the invention at least in the axial direction so that they cannot move relative to one another.

Es hat sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft herausgestellt bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung, dass das Rastelement mit wenigstens einem Hakenelement des Verbindungsmittels in Wirkverbindung steht. Hierdurch ist eine effiziente und mechanisch stabile Fixierung der einzelnen Basiselemente zueinander mit einem geringfügigen Aufwand möglich.It has also been found to be advantageous in the closure arrangement according to the invention that the latching element is in operative connection with at least one hook element of the connecting means. As a result, an efficient and mechanically stable fixing of the individual base elements to one another is possible with little effort.

Ebenfalls vorteilhaft bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung ist, dass das Rastelement kraftschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig mit wenigstens einem Hakenelement des Verbindungsmittels in Wirkverbindung steht. Hierdurch ist es ebenfalls möglich, eine effiziente stabile Verbindung zwischen den Basiselementen zu realisieren, ohne dass diese axial verschiebbar sind.It is also advantageous in the case of the closure arrangement according to the invention that the latching element is in operative connection with at least one hook element of the connecting means in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner. This also makes it possible to realize an efficient, stable connection between the base elements without them being axially displaceable.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung besteht darin, dass das Rastelement an wenigstens einem Schenkel der Verbindungseinrichtung angeordnet ist. Dies lässt eine wirtschaftliche sowie kostengünstige Herstellung der Basiselemente und damit der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung zu, wobei durch diese Positionierung wenigstens eines Rastelementes verhindert, dass sich die Basiselemente axial Gegeneinander verschieben.Another advantage of the closure arrangement according to the invention is that the latching element is arranged on at least one leg of the connecting device. This allows an economical and inexpensive production of the base elements and thus the closure arrangement according to the invention, with this positioning of at least one latching element preventing the base elements from axially shifting relative to one another.

Es liegt weiterhin im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass das Rastelement wenigstens teilweise aus wenigstens einem Schenkel der Verbindungseinrichtung gebildet ist. In dieser Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung ist es erstmals möglich, sowohl neu hergestellte Basiselemente/Verschlussanordnung als auch bereits bestehende Basiselemente/Verschlussanordnung mit einer wirksamen Sperre zur Verhinderung einer axialen Verschiebung zu versehen.It is also within the scope of the invention that the latching element is at least partially formed from at least one leg of the connecting device. In this embodiment of the closure arrangement according to the invention, it is possible for the first time to use both newly manufactured base elements / closure arrangement and already existing base elements / closure arrangement to be provided with an effective lock to prevent axial displacement.

Es hat sich weiter als vorteilhaft erwiesen bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung, dass das Rastelement von wenigstens einer Seitenkante eines Schenkels der Verbindungseinrichtung beabstandet angeordnet ist. Dies führt vorteilhafter Weise dazu, dass das gegenüberliegend angeordnete Basiselement axial verschiebe sicher fixiert ist.It has also proven to be advantageous in the closure arrangement according to the invention that the latching element is arranged at a distance from at least one side edge of a leg of the connecting device. This advantageously leads to the fact that the base element arranged opposite is fixed in an axially displaceable manner.

Es hat sich auch als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass das Rastelement in wenigstens einem spitzen Winkel zu wenigstens einem Schenkel der Verbindungseinrichtung angeordnet ist. In dieser vorteilhaften Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung ist es erstmals möglich, dass Verbindungsmittel eines gegenüberliegenden Basiselementes des kraftschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig fixierend zu umgreifen.It has also proven to be advantageous that the latching element is arranged at at least one acute angle to at least one leg of the connecting device. In this advantageous embodiment of the closure arrangement according to the invention, it is possible for the first time to grip around the connecting means of an opposing base element in a non-positive and / or positive-locking manner.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung ist vorteilhafterweise so ausgebildet, dass die Breite des Rastelements der Verbindungseinrichtung in etwa der Breite der Öffnung des Verbindungsmittels entspricht. Hierdurch ist eine schnelle und optimale Fixierung der Basiselemente gegen ein axiales verschieben möglich, wobei vorteilhafterweise die Toleranz bzw. das Spiel zwischen den einzelnen Basiselementen erheblich reduziert ist.The closure arrangement according to the invention is advantageously designed such that the width of the latching element of the connecting device corresponds approximately to the width of the opening of the connecting means. This enables the base elements to be fixed quickly and optimally against axial displacement, the tolerance or play between the individual base elements being advantageously considerably reduced.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Merkmal der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung ist, dass die Öffnung des Verbindungsmittels im Querschnitt etwa mehreckig, prismatisch, rund, oval, elliptisch und dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch sind verschieden dimensionierte Basiselemente über die Geometrie des Rastelementes verschiebesicher miteinander verbindbar.Another advantageous feature of the closure arrangement according to the invention is that the opening of the connecting means is approximately polygonal, prismatic, round, oval, elliptical and the like in cross section. As a result, differently dimensioned base elements can be connected to one another in a shift-proof manner via the geometry of the latching element.

Es hat sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung herausgestellt, dass wenigstens eine Seitenkante der Öffnung des Verbindungsmittels in etwa orthogonal zum Verbindungsmittel angeordnet ist.It has also been found to be advantageous in the closure arrangement according to the invention that at least one side edge of the opening of the connecting means is arranged approximately orthogonally to the connecting means.

Es liegt weiterhin im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass wenigstens eine Seitenkante der Öffnung des Verbindungsmittels in etwa einem spitzen Winkel zum Verbindungsmittel angeordnet ist. Durch diese Geometrie ist es erstmals möglich, die Basiselemente einer erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung verschiebesicher zueinander anzuordnen.It is also within the scope of the invention that at least one side edge of the opening of the connecting means is arranged at approximately an acute angle to the connecting means. This geometry makes it possible for the first time to arrange the base elements of a closure arrangement according to the invention in such a way that they cannot be displaced relative to one another.

Es hat sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft herausgestellt bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung, dass wenigstens eine Seitenkante des Rastelementes etwa orthogonal zur Verbindungseinrichtung angeordnet ist.It has also been found to be advantageous in the closure arrangement according to the invention that at least one side edge of the latching element is arranged approximately orthogonally to the connecting device.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung ist, dass wenigstens eine Seitenkante in etwa rechtwinklig zu wenigstens einem Schenkel der Verbindungseinrichtung angeordnet ist.Another advantage of the closure arrangement according to the invention is that at least one side edge is arranged approximately at right angles to at least one leg of the connecting device.

Es liegt auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass wenigstens eine Seitenkante in etwa einem spitzen Winkel zu wenigstens einem Schenkel der Verbindungseinrichtung angeordnet ist. Auch durch diese vorteilhaften Merkmale kann eine erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung zur Verfügung gestellt werden, bei der die Basiselemente zumindest in axiale Richtung verschiebesicher zueinander angeordnet und fixiert sind.It is also within the scope of the invention that at least one side edge is arranged at approximately an acute angle to at least one leg of the connecting device. A closure arrangement according to the invention can also be made available through these advantageous features, in which the base elements are arranged and fixed so that they cannot be displaced relative to one another, at least in the axial direction.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung so ausgebildet, dass das von dem Basiselement wegragende, freie Ende des Rastelementes wenigstens teilweise in den Aufnahmeraum der Verbindungseinrichtung hineinragt. Dies ermöglicht eine schnelle und kraftschlüssige und/oder formschlüssig Fixierung der Basiselemente der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung.In a further advantageous embodiment, the closure arrangement according to the invention is designed in such a way that the free end of the latching element protruding away from the base element protrudes at least partially into the receiving space of the connecting device. This enables the base elements of the closure arrangement according to the invention to be fixed quickly and positively and / or positively.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung besteht darin, dass die Öffnung des Verbindungsmittels wenigstens teilweise in der Basis des Verbindungsmittels angeordnet ist. Hierdurch lässt sich diese Öffnung sehr schnell und effizient für die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung realisieren.Another advantage of the closure arrangement according to the invention is that the opening of the connecting means is at least partially arranged in the base of the connecting means. As a result, this opening can be implemented very quickly and efficiently for the closure arrangement according to the invention.

Es hat sich ebenfalls als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass das Basiselement wenigstens eine Hohlkammer aufweist.It has also been found to be advantageous that the base element has at least one hollow chamber.

Dabei kann die Hohlkammer des Basiselements einen Werkstoff aufweisen, dessen Dichte zwischen 0,01 und 0,7 g / cm3 gemessen nach DIN 1183 beträgt, dass an wenigstens einer Verbindungseinrichtung des Basiselements wenigstens eine, ein Fixierelemente aufnehmende, Aufnahmeöffnung angeordnet ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung weist somit gegenüber dem bisher bekannten Stand der Technik einen höheren Auftrieb bei ihrer bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung auf und kann somit als kostengünstige und optisch ansprechende Verschlussanordnung für bereits verbaute, undichte Schwimmbadabdeckungen aus Hohlkammerprofilen mit seitlichen Dichtelementen eingesetzt werden.The hollow chamber of the base element can have a material whose density is between 0.01 and 0.7 g / cm 3, measured according to DIN 1183, so that at least one receiving opening receiving a fixing element is arranged on at least one connecting device of the base element. The closure arrangement according to the invention therefore has a higher buoyancy than the previously known prior art when used as intended and can thus be used as an inexpensive and visually appealing closure arrangement for already installed, leaky swimming pool covers made of hollow chamber profiles with lateral sealing elements.

Dabei hat es sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass der in der Hohlkammer des Basiselementes angeordnete Werkstoff ausgewählt ist aus, vorzugsweise aus Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), Polyurethan (PU), Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS), Polystyrol (PS), Acrylester-Styrol-Acrylnitril (ASA), Polypropylen (PP), Polyethylen (PE), Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), Polycarbonat (PC), Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) oder deren Copolymeren bestehen. Neben der wirtschaftlichen und kostengünstigen Herstellung der die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung bildenden Basiselemente dadurch auch deren Schwimmfähigkeit gewährleistet. Weiterhin vorteilhaft bei er erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung ist, dass einerseits eine gewisse Isolierwirkung für die unter der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung befindliche, größtenteils erwärmte Flüssigkeiten, realisierbar ist und andererseits das bei extremen Witterungseinflüssen wie insbesondere Hagel die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung so ausgebildet ist, dass in den einzelnen Basiselementen keine Löcher durch ein Durchschlagen von Hagelkörnern realisierbar ist.It has also been found to be advantageous that the material arranged in the hollow chamber of the base element is selected from, preferably from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polystyrene (PS), acrylic ester Styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or their copolymers.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung kann dabei so ausgebildet sein, dass der Werkstoff des Basiselements über seine Dicke für sichtbares Licht einen Transmissionsgrad von mindestens 80 % gemessen nach ISO 13468-2 aufweist. Der in der Hohlkammer des Basiselements angeordnete Werkstoff kann dabei eine dunkle Farbe, insbesondere Schwarz aufweisen.The closure arrangement according to the invention can be designed in such a way that the material of the base element has a transmittance of at least 80% for visible light over its thickness, measured in accordance with ISO 13468-2. The material arranged in the hollow chamber of the base element can have a dark color, in particular black.

Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass die Aufnahmeöffnung der Verbindungseinrichtung etwa parallel zur Längsseite des Basiselements angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist eine wirtschaftliche und kostengünstige Herstellung der die Verschlussanordnung bildenden Basiselemente möglich.It has proven to be advantageous that the receiving opening of the connecting device is arranged approximately parallel to the longitudinal side of the base element. As a result, an economical and inexpensive production of the base elements forming the closure arrangement is possible.

Neben der wirtschaftlichen und kostengünstigen Herstellung der die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussanordnung bildenden Basiselemente ist neben der Schwimmfähigkeit der polymeren Werkstoffe auch noch die Korrosionsfreiheit als Vorteil zu benennen.It has also been found to be advantageous that the base elements are made of a polymeric material, preferably polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polystyrene (PS), acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA ), Polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), as well as mixtures of at least two of these materials, or their copolymers. In addition to the economic and cost-effective production of the basic elements forming the closure arrangement according to the invention, in addition to the buoyancy of the polymeric materials, the freedom from corrosion should also be named as an advantage.

Die Basiselemente der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussanordnung sind so ausgebildet, dass sie eine Wanddicke im Bereich von etwa 0,05 bis 5,0 mm, vorzugsweise 0,1 bis 2,5 mm aufweisen.
