Description

DESCRIPTION

MODULAR ROOF FOR PLAYGROUNDS AND SIMILAR FORMED

BY ELEMENTS WITH THE APPEARANCE OF TREES

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a modular cover in the form of tree species, which can act with an individual module or in a group. Intended for playgrounds or similar facilities, eliminating perimeter obstacles that facilitate accessibility to the place, providing harmony with the environment, reducing the visual impact and protecting from inclement weather.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Originally and to this day, the installations of most of the public and private playgrounds are carried out in the open air without any type of protection. At present, as a consequence of the important investments and improvements that are being made in this type of installation, the aim is to protect them in order to extend their useful life and offer greater use and exploitation of the installation. For this reason they are being covered, to protect users from inclement weather, from rain in winter and from the sun in summer.

In the children's playgrounds that are covered, industrial-type covers are installed by placing pillars on their perimeters, generating a strong visual impact that does not harmonize with the themes that are exposed and interferes with access to them.

A design that solves these problems is incorporated. Due to its typology, it is integrated into the park or facility, facilitating access from the outside to all places and corners, since the pillars are distributed inside the playground.

On the other hand, it eliminates the negative visual impact provided by an industrial-type roof, harmonizes with the whole, making its use more attractive. It is a modular design whose base module is in the shape of a tree, bush or arborescent species, constituted by a trunk-shaped structure Fig.2(1) and branches Fig.2(2) that supports a flat roof. Being able to act individually or in groups, maintaining the same height or with the possibility that each element varies.

Depending on the morphology of the area where to act, the number of base elements can be implemented to cover the surface, even later complemented without resulting in an addition. As if it were a forest.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention shows a modular cover Fig.2(3) to protect playgrounds or similar facilities from inclement weather. It is a roof that starts from a unitary tree-shaped module that can incorporate units depending on the shape and size of the surface, in the form of a set of tree species that supports a flat roof resembling the treetop.

The cover Fig. 2(3), would initially be made of polycarbonate with a high degree of transparency, it must have a certain slope (±10%) to allow self-cleaning. It is supported by trunk-shaped pillars Fig.2(1) and it holds the roof with the branches Fig.2(3) by means of straps Fig. 1(1). There are different possibilities of materials to be used both in the structure and in the cover. Even considering the possibility that the cover is a macro photovoltaic panel that generates electricity.

This cover, being modular, allows it to be adapted to the size of the area to be covered, eliminates the usual pillars on the perimeter, moving them inside distributed among the games, facilitating access to the games from any orientation and causing an attractive positive impact due to the theme. . All this harmonizing with the whole.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

"To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, it has been represented the next:

Figures 1,2, 3 and 4 show different perspectives of the unitary module that makes up the cover consisting of the trunk, branches and transparent cover.

Figures 5, 6 and 7 include another 3 axonometric views of this unitary module.

Figures 8 and 9 composition formed by 2 front views of four unitary modules grouped in the form of a small forest.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The structure that supports the roof is shaped like a tree, part of a trunk-shaped pillar Figure 2(1), which branches off Figure 2(2) until it reaches the roof Figure 2(3) supporting it with the branches using straps Figure 1 (1) of color and material adapted to the effect that the set should cause.

There is the possibility of placing the base elements at different heights as if it were a forest.

The roof Fig. 2(3) must have a certain inclination for self-cleaning issues and to direct the water, which will be collected by means of a perimeter gutter Fig. 2(4) to the roof with a downspout Fig 4(1) directed from the inside of the branches or attached to them connecting with the pavement on the inside of the trunk, eliminating unsightly visual interference.

Initially, the cover Fig.2(3) is intended to be transparent and colorless, and it can be translucent and colored.

The materials to be placed on the cover Fig.2(3) would be polycarbonates, methacrylates or glass, and any material used in covers can be applied.

These materials may have different thicknesses and dimensions depending on the possibilities of the material to be used and the resistance it must withstand. The pieces of the roof will be joined by means of special pieces Fig.1(1) that allow the union and fastening at the same time allowing possible expansion and contraction, preventing the passage of water, without generating visual impact.

The material to be applied in the structure Fig.3(1) would initially be tubular profiling imitating the branches of a tree, admitting another type of section. The same happens with the thickness, will depend on the length of the piece, the resistance, the height and the angle of inclination that it adopts. Admitting any color combination that is considered.

The Fig.3(1) structure would initially be hot-dip galvanized steel tubular, welded and/or bolted, of various diameters and lengths. Alternative materials to steel may be used, such as aluminum, wood, even prefabricated reinforced concrete.

From the bottom Fig.7(1)(2) supports to install projectors and project on the deck. In addition to incorporating a lighting system, RGBW system to be able to change lighting colors.

Although the cover is designed for playgrounds, it can be installed in any place and installation (markets, promenades, docks, docks, squares, accesses and main entrances, living areas,) where ease of perimeter access is needed, with a search for harmony and aesthetics. with the environment.
