Description

Protector para piscinas.Pool protector.

La invención se refiere a un protector de esquinas de piscinas utilizado en el montaje de piscinas desmontables.The invention relates to a protector of pool corners used in pool assembly detachable

En la actualidad, los múltiples modelos de piscinas desmontables existentes en el mercado pueden agruparse en dos grandes grupos, en función de los materiales utilizados la propia piscina y en su estructura. Por un lado, existen las piscinas de lona o plástico con estructura metálica, tubular o inflable, y por otra las rígidas con estructura de metal, plástico o madera. La diferencia principal entre unas y otras es que las primeras ofrecen un precio más económico mientras que las segundas son más duraderas.Currently, the multiple models of Removable pools on the market can be grouped into two large groups, depending on the materials used the own pool and in its structure. On the one hand, there are tarpaulin or plastic pools with metallic, tubular or inflatable, and on the other the rigid ones with metal, plastic or wood. The main difference between them is that first offer a cheaper price while the second They are more durable.

En el diseño de piscinas de estructura rígida ha de cuidarse especialmente el aspecto de la seguridad de sus elementos. Así, es necesario proteger al usuario de choques contra las esquinas, vértices o aristas que puedan formar los listones horizontales (playas) y verticales (columnas) que forman la estructura. En especial, es importante proteger los puntos de intersección o unión de cada columna con las playas, ya que en esos puntos se constituyen vértices potencialmente peligrosos para el usuario, tanto si son salientes hacia el exterior de la piscina como si son entrantes hacia el interior.In the design of rigid structure pools has to take special care of the safety aspect of their elements. Thus, it is necessary to protect the user from shocks against corners, vertices or edges that can form the slats horizontal (beaches) and vertical (columns) that form the structure. In particular, it is important to protect the points of intersection or union of each column with the beaches, since in those points constitute potentially dangerous vertices for the user, whether they are outgoing out of the pool as if they are incoming inwards.

Además de efectiva, una protección diseñada para estos puntos ha de ser económica, del mismo modo en que lo es el conjunto de la piscina. Dado que las piscinas de estructura rígida pueden adoptar múltiples formas, una primera aproximación al diseño implica una protección específica para cada tipo de vértice: saliente, entrante, recto, con mayor o menor ángulo entre playas, con mayor o menor anchura de playas, con una columna en curva o por el contrario recta, etc. Tal cantidad de posibilidades dispara el precio en caso de definir protecciones particulares, y al mismo tiempo dificulta el diseño de una protección única apta para todos los casos, y que garantice unas mínimas holguras y una adecuada fijación.In addition to effective, a protection designed to these points must be economical, just as the pool set. Since rigid structure pools they can take multiple forms, a first approach to design It implies a specific protection for each type of vertex: outgoing, incoming, straight, with greater or lesser angle between beaches, with greater or lesser width of beaches, with a curved column or by the opposite straight, etc. Such amount of possibilities triggers the price in case of defining particular protections, and at the same time makes it difficult to design a single protection suitable for all the cases, and that guarantees minimum clearances and adequate fixation.

El objetivo principal de la presente invención es proporcionar una protección a las aristas de las piscinas desmontables que evite riesgos de daño como consecuencia de roces o golpes con dichas aristas, y que sea versátil y sirva igualmente para todas las distintas formas y configuraciones de la piscina. De este modo, el protector debe poder ajustarse óptimamente tanto a playas de diferentes anchuras como a esquinas formadas en piscinas de muy diferentes diámetros o con ángulos entre playas de tanto mayores como iguales o menores de 180°.The main objective of the present invention is to provide protection to the edges of the pools removable to avoid risk of damage as a result of friction or hits with these edges, and that is versatile and serves equally for all the different shapes and configurations of the pool. From In this way, the protector should be able to adjust optimally to both beaches of different widths like corners formed in swimming pools of very different diameters or angles between beaches of both greater than equal or less than 180 °.

Es otro objetivo de la invención proporcionar un diseño de protección de piscinas que sea económico y al mismo tiempo mejore la estética de las piscinas.It is another object of the invention to provide a pool protection design that is economical and at the same time weather improve the aesthetics of the pools.

Para la consecución de los objetivos descritos se propone un protector de esquinas de piscinas realizado en material plástico y libre de aristas, y que consta de dos piezas telescópicas que ajustan entre sí mediante un deslizamiento regulable, permitiendo que el dicho protector pueda ajustarse a diferentes anchos de playas.To achieve the objectives described a pool corner protector is proposed made in plastic and edge-free material, and consisting of two pieces telescopic adjusting each other by sliding adjustable, allowing said protector to adjust to Different widths of beaches.

De las dos piezas o carcasas que constituyen el conjunto, la mas pequeña se coloca en la zona interior de la piscina. Esta pieza o carcasa interior posee la zona interior de la guía de deslizamiento, y dispone en sus laterales a modo de dos orejetas que se enganchan en la arista interior de la playa, con un movimiento de giro, hasta alcanzar la posición horizontal apoyándose sobre la playa. Para facilitar el deslizamiento, la carcasa interior presenta un abocamiento en la zona de entrada de la carcasa exterior, mediante el leve redondeo de las esquinas de su superficie inferior.Of the two pieces or housings that constitute the together, the smallest one is placed in the inner zone of the pool. This part or inner shell has the inner area of the sliding guide, and has two sides on its sides lugs that catch on the inside edge of the beach, with a turning movement, until reaching the horizontal position leaning On the beach. To facilitate sliding, the housing interior presents an approach in the entrance area of the outer shell, by slight rounding of the corners of your lower surface.

La carcasa grande remata la piscina por el exterior, sirviendo de protección frente a las esquinas. La colocación de esta carcasa exterior en el conjunto se consigue enfrentándola con la carcasa interior y deslizándola por las guías hasta que ambas abrazan las playas a proteger, y fijándola finalmente a la columna mediante un único tornillo.The large housing tops the pool by the outside, serving as protection against corners. The placement of this outer shell in the assembly is achieved facing it with the inner casing and sliding it along the guides until both embrace the beaches to be protected, and fixing it finally to the column by means of a single screw.

Además de la guía de deslizamiento regulable para soportar distintas anchuras de playa, el protector para piscinas incluye otros elementos para aumentar su versatilidad y ser apto para piscinas de formas diversas (circulares, ovaladas, oblongas, rectangulares, etc.) y todo tipo de columnas y playas.In addition to the adjustable slide guide to support different beach widths, the protector for Swimming pools include other elements to increase your versatility and be suitable for swimming pools of various shapes (circular, oval, oblong, rectangular, etc.) and all kinds of columns and beaches.

Por una parte, para que la carcasa exterior sea capaz de apoyarse y ajustarse debidamente tanto a columnas de zonas curvas como a columnas de zonas rectas, la carcasa exterior está provista de dos tetones o guías para el atornillado de diferente longitud, permitiendo el tetón más largo el ajuste a columnas curvas y el tetón corto el ajuste a columnas rectas. Ambas guías están rematadas por sendos orificios pasantes para el tornillo. El tetón largo presenta además unas estrías radiales de refuerzo y de guía del tornillo, y de un avellanado en su orificio.On the one hand, so that the outer shell is able to support and conform properly to both columns of zones curves like columns of straight areas, the outer shell is provided with two studs or guides for screwing different length, allowing the longer stud to adjust to columns curves and the short cut the adjustment to straight columns. Both guides They are topped by two through holes for the screw. He long brass also has radial streaks of reinforcement and screw guide, and a countersink in its hole.

Adicionalmente, con el fin de que el conjunto pueda encajarse en las diferentes columnas y ajustar en su perfil, se provee a la cara inferior de la carcasa de una geometría variable. Para ello, se diseña un perfil por defecto acorde a la columna mas interior -columna de zona curva- y se define una zona de ruptura manual de una parte de la superficie de la carcasa, zona que una vez retirada deja un espacio o perfil que se ajusta a la columna de la zona recta.Additionally, in order that the whole can fit in the different columns and adjust in your profile, a geometry is provided to the underside of the housing variable. To do this, a default profile is designed according to the innermost column - column of curved area - and a zone of manual breakage of a part of the housing surface, zone that once removed leaves a space or profile that fits the straight area column.

Finalmente, para dotar al conjunto de versatilidad con respecto a los distintos ángulos y anchos de playa, los laterales de la carcasa exterior están dotados de unas piezas recortables que permiten definir distintos tamaños de las zonas de posicionamiento de playas para que la carcasa se adecue tanto a la disposición concreta de las playas en cada montaje. Dichas piezas cercenables presentan forma de diente y están unidas entre sí y a la carcasa por nexos de fácil rotura.Finally, to provide the set of versatility with respect to the different angles and widths of beach, the sides of the outer shell are equipped with cut-out pieces that allow to define different sizes of the beach positioning areas so that the housing fits both to the specific arrangement of the beaches in each assembly. Said severable pieces have a tooth shape and are joined each other and to the housing by easy breakage links.

La cara exterior de esta pieza dispone también de una superficie destinada a colocar información reseñable, como puede ser el logotipo de la empresa.The outer face of this piece also has of a surface intended to place noteworthy information, such as It can be the company logo.
