Description

DISPOSITIF DE RECOUVREMENT D’UN BASSIN DE PISCINE  DEVICE FOR RECOVERING A SWIMMING POOL
DOMAINE TECHNIQUE TECHNICAL AREA
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine technique des couvertures extérieures de piscine, par exemple de piscines enterrées, et concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de protection ou de recouvrement d’un bassin de piscine. The present invention relates to the technical field of outdoor pool covers, for example buried pools, and more particularly relates to a device for protecting or covering a swimming pool.
ART ANTERIEUR PRIOR ART
De nombreuses solutions techniques ont été proposées pour recouvrir un bassin de piscine, notamment en période d’hivernage, ou de non utilisation également, pour tenir compte, dans certains cas, des règles de sécurité en vigueur. Many technical solutions have been proposed to cover a swimming pool, especially during wintering, or not use also, to take into account, in some cases, safety rules in force.
On connaît, par exemple, de simples bâches, qui sont conditionnées sur un appareil enrouleur, fixe ou mobile, et destinées à être positionnées le long de l’un des bords du bassin de la piscine considérée. For example, simple tarpaulins are known, which are packaged on a retractor device, fixed or mobile, and intended to be positioned along one of the edges of the pond of the pool in question.
Généralement, la bâche est déroulée manuellement, pour recouvrir le bassin de la piscine. La bâche peut être déroulée, soit en chevauchement des bords du bassin de la piscine, au niveau des margelles, soit en position de flottaison sur l’eau du bassin de la piscine, dans le cas, par exemple, d’une bâche à bulles. Après déroulement de la bâche, cette dernière peut coopérer avec des moyens d’ancrage, par rapport au bassin de la piscine. Generally, the tarpaulin is unwound manually to cover the pool. The tarpaulin can be unwound either by overlapping the edges of the pool of the pool, at the edges or in the floating position on the water of the pool of the pool, in the case, for example, of a bubble cover . After unwinding of the cover, the latter can cooperate with anchoring means, relative to the pool of the pool.
On connaît également des volets composés d’une pluralité de lames articulées, conformées pour flotter sur l’eau du bassin de la piscine. Le volet coopère avec un tambour d’enroulement, manuel ou motorisé, situé à l’extérieur du bassin de la piscine, ou dans un compartiment formé à l’intérieur du bassin de la piscine. Shutters are also known composed of a plurality of articulated blades, shaped to float on the water pool pool. The shutter cooperates with a winding drum, manual or motorized, located outside the pool of the pool, or in a compartment formed inside the pool of the pool.
Ce type de volets roulants pour bassins de piscines ressort, par exemple, de l’enseignement du brevet EP 1 233 125, donné à titre indicatif, nullement limitatif. Dans une forme de réalisation, l’enrouleur peut être mobile et se déplacer en translation sur la longueur du bassin. This type of roller shutters for swimming pools spring, for example, the teaching of the patent EP 1 233 125, given as an indication, in no way limiting. In an embodiment, the winder can be movable and move in translation along the length of the basin.
Il est également connu des terrasses escamotables sur rails, mobiles en translation par rapport au bassin pour recouvrir ou découvrir en totalité ou en partie le bassin de piscine. It is also known retractable terraces on rails, movable in translation relative to the basin to cover or discover all or part of the pool.
L’inconvénient de cette solution réside dans le fait qu’elle nécessite une surface non négligeable, au moins égale à la surface de la terrasse, sur au moins un côté de la piscine pour permettre l’ouverture totale de la terrasse. The disadvantage of this solution lies in the fact that it requires a non-negligible surface, at least equal to the surface of the terrace, on at least one side of the pool to allow the full opening of the terrace.
On a proposé de résoudre cet inconvénient par l’enseignement technique de la demande de brevet français publiée sous le n° 3056616, au nom du Demandeur, qui décrit un plancher mobile assujetti sur au moins un côté, à un élément souple monté avec capacité de rotation sur un tambour d’enroulement et destiné à être escamoté ou déployé par rapport au plancher pour recouvrir ou non le bassin de piscine. It has been proposed to solve this drawback by the technical teaching of the French patent application published under No. 3056616, in the name of the Applicant, which describes a movable floor secured on at least one side, to a flexible element mounted with the capacity of rotation on a winding drum and intended to be retracted or deployed relative to the floor to cover or not the pool.
Cette solution donne entière satisfaction, mais peut encore être améliorée, notamment en termes d’encombrement inhérent l’enroulement de l’élément souple. Pour s’adapter à cette contrainte d’encombrement, il est alors parfois nécessaire de disposer le tambour, non pas à l’intérieur du plancher, mais à l’extérieur ce qui donne un aspect peu esthétique. This solution gives complete satisfaction, but can still be improved, especially in terms of bulk inherent in the winding of the flexible element. To adapt to this constraint of space, it is sometimes necessary to have the drum, not inside the floor, but outside which gives an unattractive appearance.
EXPOSE DE L’INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
L’un des buts de l’invention est donc de remédier aux inconvénients de l’art antérieur en proposant un dispositif de recouvrement d’un bassin de piscine qui présente un encombrement réduit en position repliée par rapport aux dispositifs de l’état de la technique. One of the aims of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a covering device for a swimming pool basin which has a small footprint in the folded position relative to the devices of the state of the technical.
A cet effet et conformément à l’invention, il est proposé un dispositif de recouvrement de bassin de piscine qui comprend une bâche, de préférence à barres, assujettie à une structure de réception, et destinée à adopter une position déployée dans laquelle elle est destinée à recouvrir au moins en partie le bassin de piscine et, une position escamotée repliée à l’intérieur de la structure de réception. For this purpose and in accordance with the invention, there is provided a pool basin covering device which comprises a tarpaulin, preferably bar, secured to a receiving structure, and intended to adopt a deployed position in which it is intended to cover at least part of the pool and a retracted retracted position inside the receiving structure.
De cette manière, étant donné que la bâche n’est pas enroulée mais repliée en position escamotée, cela permet de gagner en compacité et donc en hauteur et en volume. La bâche peut alors présenter une longueur plus importante et être logée directement à l’intérieur de la structure de réception, ce qui est plus esthétique. Le dispositif est aussi simple d’utilisation. In this way, since the tarpaulin is not rolled up but folded in the retracted position, this makes it possible to gain in compactness and thus in height and volume. The sheet can then have a longer length and be housed directly inside the receiving structure, which is more aesthetic. The device is also easy to use.
De préférence, le dispositif comprend des moyens de traction sur des portions de la bâche pour les passer successivement en position escamotée repliée, et des moyens de débrayage de ladite traction. Preferably, the device comprises traction means on portions of the sheet to pass successively retracted retracted position, and disengagement means of said traction.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, la bâche comprend au moins une sangle, et de préférence deux sangles, par exemple fixées à l’extrémité libre de la bâche et, par exemple, traversant librement des œillets positionnés le long de la bâche. According to a preferred embodiment, the cover comprises at least one strap, and preferably two straps, for example fixed to the free end of the cover and, for example, freely passing through eyelets positioned along the cover.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, la bâche comprend des barres et au moins une sangle fixée à la barre la plus éloignée de la structure de réception, et traversent librement les autres barres, et en ce que les moyens de traction tirent sur la sangle. According to another embodiment, the sheet comprises bars and at least one strap attached to the bar furthest from the receiving structure, and freely through the other bars, and in that the pulling means pull on the strap.
De cette manière, une simple traction sur la ou les sangles permet de rapprocher les barres les unes des autres jusqu’à la position escamotée à l’intérieure de la structure de réception, en position repliée de la bâche. In this way, a simple pull on the strap or straps allows to bring the bars from each other to the retracted position inside the receiving structure, in the folded position of the tarpaulin.
De préférence, les moyens de débrayage comprennent des sabots positionnés sur chacune des barres de la bâche traversés par la sangle, chaque sabot présente une extrémité, opposée aux moyens de traction sous la forme d’une rampe, et une extrémité en regard des moyens de traction présentant un organe élastique rappelé dans une position de verrouillage en appui contre la sangle. La sangle présente, à intervalles réguliers, correspondant notamment à la distance entre deux barres, des taquets formant d’une part des rampes de déverrouillage dont la pente est dirigée à l’opposé des moyens de traction pour permettre de soulever l’organe élastique en position de débrayage, et d’autre part des moyens de butée contre l’organe élastique pour réaliser une traction sur la barre. Preferably, the disengaging means comprise shoes positioned on each of the bars of the tarpaulin through which the strap passes, each shoe having an end opposite to the traction means in the form of a ramp, and an end facing the means of traction. traction having an elastic member biased into a locking position bearing against the strap. The strap has, at regular intervals, corresponding in particular to the distance between two bars, cleats forming on the one hand unlocking ramps whose slope is directed away from the traction means to allow lifting the resilient member in the disengaged position, and secondly abutment means against the elastic member to achieve traction on the bar.
Dans ces formes de réalisation, les moyens de traction se présentent, par exemple, sous la forme d’un tambour, actionnable en rotation manuellement ou motorisé, pour enrouler la sangle. In these embodiments, the traction means are, for example, in the form of a drum, operable in manual or motorized rotation, for winding the strap.
Avantageusement, la structure de réception est mobile en translation pour actionner la rotation du tambour afin d’enrouler la sangle et d’avaler la bâche lors de son passage en position escamotée repliée. Advantageously, the receiving structure is movable in translation to actuate the rotation of the drum in order to wind the strap and to swallow the cover during its passage in the retracted retracted position.
Ainsi, la bâche reste fixe et la structure de réception vient avaler la bâche pour découvrir le bassin de piscine. Thus, the tarpaulin remains fixed and the receiving structure swallows the tarpaulin to discover the pool pool.
La bâche peut être destinée à recouvrir, en position déployée, totalement le bassin de piscine. Cependant, lorsque la bâche recouvre en partie le bassin de piscine, en position déployée, la structure de réception forme un plancher destiné à recouvrir la partie restante non recouverte du bassin. Ainsi, le plancher constitue une surface supplémentaire ou une terrasse pour des activités de loisirs par exemple. The tarpaulin may be intended to cover, in the deployed position, the swimming pool basin completely. However, when the cover partially covers the pool pool, in the deployed position, the receiving structure forms a floor for covering the remaining uncovered portion of the basin. Thus, the floor is an additional surface or a terrace for leisure activities for example.
Dans cette configuration, et pour assurer la mobilité de la structure de réception selon les différentes configurations possibles d’ouverture ou de fermeture partielle ou totale du bassin de piscine, la structure de réception est de préférence montée sur des moyens de guidage, par exemple sur des rails, destinés à être disposés le long et de part et d’autre du bassin. In this configuration, and to ensure the mobility of the receiving structure according to the different possible configurations of opening or partial or total closure of the pool, the receiving structure is preferably mounted on guiding means, for example on rails, intended to be arranged along and on either side of the basin.

DESCRIPTION DETATT J.EE DE L’INVENTION DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
L’invention concerne un dispositif (A) de recouvrement d’un bassin de piscine (B). En référence à la figure 1 illustrant un premier mode de réalisation de l’invention, le dispositif (A) comprend une bâche (1), de préférence à barres, assujettie sur au moins l’un de ses côtés, à une structure de réception (2). En position déployée, la bâche à barres (1) est destinée à recouvrir au moins en partie le bassin de piscine (B). Les barres de la bâche à barres (1) sont parallèles entres elles et sont séparées, par exemple, d’une distance constante, pour former des portions de bâche. Au moins un orifice percé latéralement au niveau de la moitié de la longueur des barres, et de préférence deux orifices percés aux extrémités des barres permettent à une ou deux sangles (3), sortant de la structure de réception (2), de traverser librement et perpendiculairement lesdites barres. Les sangles (3) sont fixées à la barre la plus éloignée, c’est-à-dire à celle située à l’extrémité de la bâche à barres (1). The invention relates to a device (A) for covering a swimming pool (B). Referring to Figure 1 illustrating a first embodiment of the invention, the device (A) comprises a tarpaulin (1), preferably bars, secured on at least one of its sides, to a receiving structure (2). In the deployed position, the bar cover (1) is intended to cover at least part of the pool (B). The bars of the bar cover (1) are parallel to each other and are separated, for example, by a constant distance, to form cover portions. At least one orifice pierced laterally at half the length of the bars, and preferably two orifices pierced at the ends of the bars allow one or two straps (3), coming out of the receiving structure (2), to pass freely and perpendicularly said bars. The straps (3) are attached to the furthest bar, that is to say to that located at the end of the bar cover (1).
Selon une autre forme de réalisation non illustrée, la bâche (1) ne comprend pas de barres et les sangles (3) sont fixées à l’extrémité libre de la bâche et, par exemple, traversent librement des œillets positionnés le long de la bâche (1). According to another embodiment not illustrated, the sheet (1) does not comprise bars and the straps (3) are fixed to the free end of the sheet and, for example, freely pass eyelets positioned along the sheet (1).
En référence aux figures 2 à 4, le dispositif (A) et plus particulièrement la structure de réception (2) comprend des moyens de traction (4), par exemple, sous la forme d’un tambour (4a) pour tirer et enrouler uniquement les sangles (3). Lorsque le tambour (4a) est actionné manuellement ou via un moteur, le processus d’ouverture d’au moins une partie du bassin de piscine peut alors commencer. La rotation du tambour (4a) entraîne l’enroulement des sangles (3) et permet de tirer sur la barre d’extrémité pour la ramener à l’intérieur de la structure de réception (2). Les autres barres, poussées par la barres d’extrémité, coulissent le long des sangles (3) jusqu’à l’intérieur de la structure (2). Referring to Figures 2 to 4, the device (A) and more particularly the receiving structure (2) comprises traction means (4), for example, in the form of a drum (4a) for pulling and winding only the straps (3). When the drum (4a) is operated manually or via a motor, the process of opening at least a portion of the pool basin can then begin. The rotation of the drum (4a) causes the winding of the straps (3) and pulls on the end bar to bring it inside the receiving structure (2). The other bars, pushed by the end bar, slide along the straps (3) to the interior of the structure (2).
Ainsi, le contact de la barre d’extrémité avec la barre suivante forme un premier pli sur la bâche (1), ces dernières formeront un second pli avec la barre suivante, et ainsi de suite jusqu’à ce que la rotation de tambour (4a) entraîne l’enroulement complet des sangles (3). La bâche à barres (1) adopte alors une position escamotée dans laquelle elle est complètement repliée, à la manière d’un « accordéon » (5), et prend donc peu de place et de hauteur à l’intérieur de la structure (2).  Thus, the contact of the end bar with the next bar forms a first fold on the sheet (1), they will form a second fold with the next bar, and so on until the drum rotation ( 4a) causes complete winding of the straps (3). The bar cover (1) then adopts a retracted position in which it is completely folded, in the manner of an "accordion" (5), and therefore takes up little space and height inside the structure (2 ).
La bâche à barres (1) peut être destinée à recouvrir totalement le bassin de piscine (B). Dans une autre forme de réalisation, la bâche à barres (1) recouvre seulement une partie du bassin de piscine (B) et la structure de réception (2) forme un plancher destiné à recouvrir la partie restante du bassin de piscine (B), et pouvant servir de terrasse pour des activités de loisirs The bar cover (1) may be intended to totally cover the pool (B). In another embodiment, the bar cover (1) covers only one part of the pool (B) and the receiving structure (2) forms a floor for covering the remaining part of the pool (B), and can be used as a terrace for leisure activities
Dans cette forme de réalisation, la structure de réception est mobile en translation par rapport au bassin de piscine (B). A cet effet, et en référence aux figures 5 et 6, la structure de réception (2) est de préférence montée sur des moyens de guidage (6), comprenant par exemple des rails (6a), disposés le long, et de part et d’autre du bassin de piscine (B). Les rails (6a) se prolongent sur au moins un côté du bassin pour permettre le positionnement de la structure de réception (2) à l’extérieur du bassin, en position escamotée de la bâche à barres (1). Dans cette configuration, la structure de réception (2), qui forme un plancher peut actionner elle-même, par son déplacement, la rotation du tambour pour enrouler les sangles (3) et avaler la bâche à barres (1) jusqu’à découvrir le bassin de piscine (B). Par exemple, le tambour (4a) peut comprendre deux pignons d’extrémité coopérant avec des crémaillères positionnées le long des rails (6a), de sorte à entraîner une rotation du tambour (4a) lors de l’avancement de la structure (2). La structure de réception (2) formant le plancher peut, par exemple, se présenter sous la forme de caisson, adapté aux dimensions de la bâche à barres (1), et ouvert sur le côté en regard de ladite bâche. De ce qui précède, l’avancement de la structure de réception (2) permet d’enrouler les sangles (3) et d’avaler la bâche à barres (1). Inversement, le déroulement de la bâche à barres (1) peut consister à exercer une traction, par exemple manuelle, sur la barre d’extrémité pour déployer manuellement la bâche à barres (1). Selon une autre possibilité, la rotation du tambour (4a) peut entraîner directement la translation de la structure de réception (2) pour découvrir le bassin de piscine (B) et replier la bâche à barres (1), et inversement le déplacement de la structure de réception permet de déployer au fur et à mesure la bâche à barre (1) pour recouvrir le bassin de piscine (B). In this embodiment, the receiving structure is movable in translation relative to the swimming pool (B). For this purpose, and with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the receiving structure (2) is preferably mounted on guiding means (6), comprising, for example, rails (6a) arranged along, and apart from, other of the swimming pool (B). The rails (6a) extend on at least one side of the basin to allow positioning of the receiving structure (2) outside the basin, in the retracted position of the bar cover (1). In this configuration, the receiving structure (2), which forms a floor can actuate itself, by its movement, the rotation of the drum to wind the straps (3) and swallow the bar cover (1) to discover the pool basin (B). For example, the drum (4a) may comprise two end gears cooperating with racks positioned along the rails (6a), so as to cause a rotation of the drum (4a) during the advancement of the structure (2) . The receiving structure (2) forming the floor may, for example, be in the form of box, adapted to the dimensions of the bar cover (1), and open on the side opposite said cover. From the above, the advancement of the receiving structure (2) makes it possible to wind the straps (3) and to swallow the bar cover (1). Conversely, the unwinding of the bar cover (1) may consist in exerting traction, for example manual, on the end bar to manually deploy the bar cover (1). According to another possibility, rotation of the drum (4a) can directly cause the translation of the receiving structure (2) to discover the pool (B) and fold the bar cover (1), and conversely the displacement of the reception structure makes it possible to deploy progressively the bar cover (1) to cover the swimming pool (B).
D’une manière avantageuse, et en référence aux figures 7 à 11, le dispositif (A) selon l’invention comprend des moyens de traction (4) permettant de tirer successivement des portions de la bâche pour la déployer. Ces moyens de traction (4) sont également aptes à tirer des portions successives de la bâche (1) pour lui faire adopter la position escamotée repliée. Les moyens de traction (4) comprennent des moyens de débrayage (12) de sorte que, lorsqu’une portion de la bâche (1) est tirée pour l’escamoter en position repliée, lesdits moyens de débrayage (12) se débrayent pour ne plus exercer de traction sur la portion escamotée repliée, et poursuivre la traction sur la portion de bâche (1) suivante pour l’escamoter en position repliée, et ainsi de suite. Advantageously, and with reference to Figures 7 to 11, the device (A) according to the invention comprises traction means (4) for successively pulling portions of the sheet to deploy it. These traction means (4) are also able to draw successive portions of the sheet (1) to make it adopt the retracted retracted position. The traction means (4) comprise disengaging means (12) so that, when a portion of the cover (1) is pulled to retract it in the folded position, said disengaging means (12) disengage in order to more exerting traction on the folded retracted portion, and continue traction on the next portion of the tarpaulin (1) to retract in the folded position, and so on.
Les moyens de traction (4) et les moyens de débrayage (12) peuvent présenter plusieurs formes. The traction means (4) and the disengaging means (12) may have several forms.
Par exemple, lorsque la bâche (1) est du type bâche (1) à barres, les moyens de traction (4) peuvent se présenter sous la forme d’un axe (7), par exemple solidaire de la barre la plus proche, lequel axe (7) possède au moins un tambour (4a) d’enroulement d’une sangle (3). Dans la forme de réalisations illustrées aux figures, l’axe (7) possède au moins deux tambours (4a) d’enroulement. Les sangles (3) traversent librement des sabots (8) positionnés sur chacune des barres de la bâche (1). Chaque sabot (8) présente une extrémité, opposée au tambour (4a) d’enroulement, sous la forme d’une rampe (8a), et une extrémité en regard des tambours (4a) d’enroulement présentant un organe élastique (9) rappelé dans une position de verrouillage en appui contre la sangle (3). Chaque sangle (3) présente, à intervalles réguliers, correspondant notamment à la distance entre deux barres de la bâche (1) à barres, des taquets (10) formant d’une part des rampes de déverrouillage dont la pente est dirigée à l’opposé des tambours (4a) d’enroulement, et d’autre part des moyens de butée contre l’organe élastique (9) pour réaliser une traction sur les barre. For example, when the tarpaulin (1) is of tarpaulin type (1) bars, the traction means (4) may be in the form of an axis (7), for example integral with the nearest bar, which axis (7) has at least one drum (4a) for winding a strap (3). In the form of embodiments illustrated in the figures, the axis (7) has at least two winding drums (4a). The straps (3) freely pass through shoes (8) positioned on each of the bars of the cover (1). Each shoe (8) has an end, opposite to the winding drum (4a), in the form of a ramp (8a), and an end facing the winding drums (4a) having an elastic member (9) recalled in a locking position bearing against the strap (3). Each strap (3) has, at regular intervals, corresponding in particular to the distance between two bars of the tarpaulin (1) bars, cleats (10) forming on the one hand unlocking ramps whose slope is directed to the opposite winding drums (4a), and secondly abutment means against the elastic member (9) for pulling on the bars.
Ainsi, lorsque la bâche (1) est tirée pour être déployée, les portions de la bâche (1), entre chaque barre, se déploient automatiquement du fait de la traction réalisée par les moyens de traction (4). Thus, when the sheet (1) is pulled to be deployed, the portions of the sheet (1), between each bar, unfold automatically due to the traction performed by the traction means (4).
Cependant, lorsque, pour passer en position escamotée repliée, les tambours (4a) d’enroulement enroulent les sangles (3), la seconde barre en partant des tambours (4a) se retrouve entraînée en direction du tambour (4 a) puisque les premiers taquets (10) positionnés sur les sangles (3) viennent en butée contre l’organe élastique (9), ce qui permet de tirer la barre en direction des tambours (4a). Lorsque les sabots (8) de la première barre vient s’engager dans les sabots (8) de la barre suivante, l’extrémité en rampe (8a) des sabots (8) de la première barre vient soulever l’organe élastique (9) pour libérer les taquets (10) des sangles (3). De cette manière, ladite barre suivante n’est plus tirée, et se retrouve dans une zone de stockage (11), la sangle (3) coulisse librement au travers des sabots (8). C’est en ce sens que le les moyens de débrayage (12) débrayent l’entraînement de la barre. La barre encore suivante, est quant à elle, tirée en direction des premières barres puisque le taquet présent sur la sangle (3) est en butée contre l’organe élastique (9), au moins jusqu’à la position de débrayage dans laquelle le sabot (8) de la barre précédente vient s’engager dans le sabot (8) de ladite barre pour lever l’organe élastique (9) et débrayer la traction des tambours (4a), et ainsi de suite. However, when, to move into the retracted retracted position, the winding drums (4a) wind up the straps (3), the second bar from the drums (4a) is driven towards the drum (4 a) since the first cleats (10) positioned on the straps (3) abut against the elastic member (9), which pulls the bar towards the drums (4a). When the shoes (8) of the first bar is engaged in the shoes (8) of the next bar, the ramp end (8a) of the shoes (8) of the first bar is lifting the elastic member (9). ) to release the cleats (10) of the straps (3). In this way, said next bar is no longer drawn, and is found in a storage area (11), the strap (3) slides freely through the shoes (8). It is in this sense that the disengaging means (12) disengage the drive of the bar. The bar that is still next, is in turn pulled towards the first bars since the cleat on the strap (3) abuts against the elastic member (9), at least until the disengaging position in which the shoe (8) of the previous bar is engaged in the shoe (8) of said bar to lift the elastic member (9) and disengage the traction of the drums (4a), and so on.
En fonction de la configuration de la bâche (1) à barres, les moyens de débrayage (12) peuvent être utilisés soit lors du passage de la bâche (1) en position déployée, soit lors du passage en position escamotée repliée. Tout dépend à laquelle des barres sont attachés les moyens de traction (4). Dans le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 7 à 11, les moyens de traction (4) sont attachés à la barre la plus proche, de sorte que les moyens de débrayage (12) sont actionnés lors du passage en position escamotée repliée de la bâche (1). Dans le cas où les moyens de traction (4) sont attachés à la barre la plus éloignée de la bâche (1), comme illustré aux figures 1 à 6, les moyens de débrayage (12), non illustrés, peuvent être utilisés lors du passage en position déployée de la bâche (1). Depending on the configuration of the tarpaulin (1) bar, the disengaging means (12) may be used either during the passage of the tarpaulin (1) in the deployed position, or when passing into the retracted retracted position. It all depends on which bars are attached to the traction means (4). In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 11, the traction means (4) are attached to the nearest bar, so that the disengaging means (12) are actuated during the passage in the folded retracted position of the tarpaulin (1). In the case where the traction means (4) are attached to the rod furthest from the cover (1), as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, the disengaging means (12), not illustrated, can be used during the moving into the deployed position of the tarpaulin (1).
D’autres modes de réalisation non illustrées peuvent être envisagés pour le système de débrayage. Par exemple, il peut être envisagé de disposer, de part et d’autre des barres, des pignons coopérant avec des crémaillères positionnées au sol, de sorte que les barres sont entraînées vers les moyens de traction (4) par l’engrenage des pignons et des crémaillères jusqu’à une zone de stockage (11) proche des moyens de traction (4) et dépourvus de crémaillères pour débrayer l’opération de traction. Dans cette forme de réalisation, les sangles ne sont pas nécessaires. Other non-illustrated embodiments may be envisaged for the clutch release system. For example, it can be envisaged to have, on either side of the bars, the pinions cooperating with racks positioned on the ground, so that the bars are driven towards the traction means (4) by the gears of the gears and racks to a storage area (11) close to the traction means (4) and without racks for disengaging the traction operation. In this embodiment, the straps are not necessary.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, il peut être envisagé de mettre en œuvre un système d’entraînement latéral des barres sous forme d’une chenille équipée à intervalles réguliers de crochets pour le ramassage successif des barres. Lorsqu’une barre est ramassée par un crochet, la rotation de la chenille permet d’entraîner la barre, et donc de passer la portion de bâche (1) correspondante en position escamotée repliée, jusqu’à ce que le crochet libère la barre position arrière débrayée et de stockage (11), et ainsi de suite. According to another embodiment, it may be envisaged to implement a lateral drive system bars in the form of a caterpillar equipped at regular intervals with hooks for the successive collection of bars. When a bar is picked up by a hook, the rotation of the crawler makes it possible to drive the bar, and thus to pass the corresponding portion of tarpaulin (1) in the retracted retracted position, until the hook releases the disengaged rear position and storage bar (11), and so on.
Il ressort de ce qui précède que l’invention fournit bien un dispositif (A) de recouvrement d’un bassin de piscine (B) qui présente un encombrement réduit par rapport aux dispositifs de l’état de la technique, simple d’utilisation, permettant d’avoir une longueur importante de bâche (1), tout en restant esthétique et discret du fait d’une hauteur contenue. It follows from the foregoing that the invention provides a device (A) for covering a swimming pool (B) which has a smaller footprint compared to devices of the state of the art, easy to use, allowing to have a large length of tarpaulin (1), while remaining aesthetic and discreet due to a contained height.
