Description

Security fence for swimming pools.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a fence for swimming pools, conceived primarily as a security fence to prevent young children from approaching uncontrolled to the pool and fall inside, although it has other additional functions such as preventing much of the dirt mobilized by the wind dirty the water of the pool.

The object of the invention is to get a fence Easy assembly and disassembly, which in addition to offering optimal functional benefits from a security point of view, barely affect the visibility of the pool when it is observed from outside the fence, due to the high degree of transparency of the latter.

It is also the object of the invention to achieve a Easy installation fence and great versatility, which is also easily transportable, with minimal volumetric occupancy, and all with a high degree of versatility and with a very aesthetic attractive

Background of the invention

For security reasons it is mandatory that Community or public pools are provided with a fence perimeter security, with corresponding access or access provided with door and with adequate height to prevent children at a young age they can access inside with the consequent risk of falling into the pool, so that access can only Be franked with the collaboration of an adult.

Usually these fences materialize in a wire net that is difficult to install, which requires by its very nature a periodic maintenance to eliminate oxidations, and that of course supposes an aesthetic that leaves a lot be desired.

The assembly of the mentioned metal fabric requires of a series of posts that are usually received on the ground with concrete, to which the wire mesh is fixed with the collaboration of clamps or by other similar means, which increase even more the negativity of the fence from the aesthetic point of view.

To greater abundance, the wires participatory in the wire mesh are connected by push-ups about themselves being usually living tips that suppose a permanent risk for anyone, even more so for a child who get too close to it. In addition the reticles that make up these metal meshes are wide enough as so that children can hold on to them and even try climbing, which further increases the risk of accidents.

Description of the invention

The security fence for pools that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed, in the different aspects commented.

To do this and more specifically said fence it is constituted from a network of a textile nature, of a waterproof, chlorine and ultraviolet light material, inextensible and unpleasant, which is fixed in its vertical position of I work with the collaboration of a plurality of posts stainless nature, preferably aluminum, which are mounted on the ground by prior implantation in the latter of bushings capable of receiving these posts tightly and to immobilize them in an upright position.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention it is provided that said bushings are closed by its lower base and have a small hole that allows its screwing to the bottom of the blind hole in the ground, in order to avoid an accidental exit of the traction posts ascending on them.

These posts are tubular, stiffened by interior diametral partitions, and have correspondence with their generatrices with a longitudinal alignment of holes calibrated to fix the textile network with the collaboration of run shoes, of length coinciding with that of the posts, and provided with numerical, dimensional and positionally coinciding with those of the latter, so that said shoes puncture the textile net against the post or corresponding posts and fix it definitely with the collaboration of through screws through the holes faced.

A modulation is also planned for fence, so that the textile network is not an element monopieza according to the perimeter of the pool, but its Length is substantially shorter, defining sections that facilitate its handling and implementation, obviously arranged some as prolongation of others.

In this sense it is expected that in correspondence with the junction point between two successive sections, there are two adjacent posts, which are fixed to the ground through the corresponding bushings and which are fixed in parallel by their upper limb with the collaboration of a clipping element suitable.

It is also planned that these extreme posts are duly reinforced, as is also the case with those who delimit the access doors, whose effect on the fence a second type of tubular profile, also of aluminum, participates, coaxially attachable to the aforementioned, outside of this last, thus obtaining a double wall post and of remarkably higher mechanical resistance, which is also provided with an alignment of holes in one of its generatrices as in the previous case to allow the screws to pass through fixing of the textile net, screws that will cross both the same run shoe than in the rest of the cases, like the element tube of reinforcement and the basic tube housed inside the just meet up with.

Given its great ease of assembly, the fence is intended to be mounted by the user of the same, but logically this can be carried out by a company specialized assembler.

Although the fence, according to the above exposed, it is specially conceived as a security element for swimming pools, obviously it can be used for any another enclosure that requires benefits Similar.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the protection fence that is recommended is constituted by the combination of a textile network (1) and a series of posts (2) properly distributed, having been planned for said network (1) a modular character, so that the contour of the pool is divided into sections, preferably used six posts per section, and with a length for each section slightly higher than four meters.

As previously stated and as it follows from the observation of figure 1, the network (1) is obtained based on materials resistant to water, chlorine and ultraviolet light, with a sufficiently closed fabric to that it is impossible to climb by inserting the fingers in their reticles, tissue that neither stretches nor tears, and that offers a long life useful without maintenance, with a high degree of transparency as It also follows from the observation in Figure 1.

Posts (2) will preferably be obtained in aluminum by extrusion, they are tubular to minimize their weight and amount of material that participates in them, and they are stiffened by a pair of diametral partitions (3), incorporating also an alignment of holes (4) on one of their generatrices where fixing screws are threaded for a complementary shoe (5), of length according to that of the posts (2) and provided with a concave face for adaptation to the post (2) with interposition of the network (1) and of a longitudinal alignment of holes (6) dimensionally and positionally coinciding with the holes (4) mentioned above, to receive together the network fixing screws, which press the shoe (5) against the tubular post (2).

For fixing the posts (2) to the ground, they use bushings (7), as shown in figure 6, which are introduced tightly into holes previously practiced in the ground, and have a perimeter wall (8) at the level of their mouthpiece, acting as a penetration limit stop in the holes in the ground, and presenting their lower base (9) mostly closed, but with a small hole (10), preferably central, which facilitates the fixing of the bushing (7) to the ground, to avoid accidental decoupling of said cap

Where it is necessary to stiffen the structure network support (1), such as in correspondence with posts (2) that adopt extreme provisions or that frame the pool access door, other tubular posts are used (11), as shown in Figures 7 and 8, whose diameter is substantially greater than that of the basic posts (2), and that they have internal and longitudinal pins (12) in the form of "T" intended to rest tightly on the external surface and curved-convex of the basic post wall (2), acting as telescopic elements that increase substantially the mechanical strength of the post with a minimum participation of material, as can be seen from the observation of figure 9.

As already said with previously, where there are two sections of network, there are also two posts, which are duly supported on the ground by their lower limb, and they are fixed to each other by their limb upper, after fixing and tensioning the network, by means of staples manual drive or any other appropriate mechanism.

It only remains to point out finally that the short section constitutive network of the access door inside the pool, will be framed by rigid profiles similar to those described posts, on their four edges, configuring a frame rectangular that is conventionally hinged to one of the side posts, which relates to another side post of the fence using lock system with sufficient degree of opening difficulty so that it cannot be used by young children, that is, for those who are intended prevent access to the pool.
