Description

Device for building a glass of pool with overflow.

The invention relates to the technical sector of the swimming pools and, more particularly of the buried pools.

Different technical solutions have been proposed to make pool glasses, such as by means of adaptable panels or, in a traditional way, by a construction of masonry. Whatever the technical solution chosen, after the filling, the water in the pool glass reaches a level below that defined by the upper edge of the wall considered. The water level is indeed limited by the placement of suction nozzles known by the name of SKIMMER through which the pool water is aspirated to Recycling through discharge mouths.

Attempts have also been made to make glasses of pool called overflow or drain, that is, of the that generally one of the sides is arranged to allow the water overflow from the glass coming from the pool and its storage.

One can cite for example the patent FR 9712576 which describes a pool glass of which one of the panels is arranged to serve as a drain in communication with an element that allows collecting and storing water from the glass of the pool. The collecting element has an upper part to collect the water from the pool glass, and a bottom that serves as buffer tank of this water. The collecting element may be coupled to a conventional technical block that has accessories to perform, on the one hand, pumping and filtering of water from the collecting and storage element and, for another part, its discharge into the pool glass.

Pool glasses have also been proposed with which, after filling, the water is poured with the soil in the all or part of the perimeter. The pool glass is surrounded by a water recovery gutter usually coated with a trellis that also has the function of breaking the waves of overflow before they flow into the gutter. This type of glass is find, for example for the realization of pool glasses municipal, that is to say with important means of execution and Traditional (esplanades, formwork, cast concrete ...).

The invention aims to solve these inconveniences in a simple, safe, effective and rational.

The problem trying to solve the invention It is to be able to make a pool glass whose water level is set with the ground, with the possibility that it is located on the latter in order to improve the visual effect produced and increase the printing of space, the whole of the Pool with adaptable elements, to reduce costs.

To solve such a problem, it has been designed and tuned a construction device for a pool glass with overflow that includes:

- independent, adaptable blocks that serve tank and carrying coupling accessories and communication to constitute the walls of the glass, in its entirety or in part;

- each block has a section profile transverse determined to constitute an area that allows to capture and collect, by overflow, the pool water and an area that allow to collect the water and direct it inside each of those blocks that are buried.

- one of the blocks is at least subject to a pumping and filtering set.

To solve the problem of ensuring the overflow of the pool glass, the area that allows catch and collect overflow the water in the glass has a rectilinear part or edge formed from one of the faces vertical flat block and located at the water level of the pool, extending, on a sloping side in the direction of the area that allows to collect water, made in the form of a gutter attached to the other vertical flat face of the element that carries prefiltering accessories.

To solve the problem of increasing the visual effect of space in order to give the impression that the water in the glass is not limited by the walls of the latter, the rectilinear part or edge is located at a level higher than defined by the junction part of the gutter with the vertical face flat, said joint part being located at the level of the soil surface where these blocks are buried.

In another embodiment, the part rectilinear is located at the same level as defined by the part of connection of the gutter with the flat vertical face, being located said joining part at ground level where they are buried these blocks.

Another problem that arises is to solve the invention is to be able to regulate, precisely, the horizontality of the rectilinear part or edge located in the given overflow zone that after the coupling of the different blocks, you get a long drain, which requires a significant flow of the water circulation pump in order to feed a water film of sufficient thickness. To solve such a problem, the rectilinear part or edge of each block from which it the water overflows from the glass, is subject to means that allow regulate its horizontality to ensure a water film of sufficient thickness

The media consists of a bar of inserted fit that fits with a linear indentation formed in the upper part of the block face in contact with water and It can carry a lining.

In a preferred embodiment, the Deposit blocks are made by rotational molding and are coupled each other by means of braces, together with naughty flanges arranged facially between each element and shaped so that serve as a support for fixing panels on the side of the face internal blocks that delimit the internal face of the pool and on the side of the upper face of said blocks.

According to another characteristic, the whole or part of the blocks fits with elements that serve as the basis of stability and some of which carry accessories for the assembly of a profile that serves as a frame formwork peripheral.

To solve the problem posed by the communication of the different blocks to collect and recycle the overflow water from the vessel, each block carries, at its base and on each side end, hydraulic connection accessories of all the blocks between
yes.

To better understand the purpose of this invention, a preferred form of practical realization, susceptible to accessory changes that do not distort its foundation.

An example of practical, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention.

According to a basic feature of the invention, the glass of the pool is made with various blocks independent, which serve as deposit. The blocks (1) carry coupling and communication accessories to constitute the vessel walls in whole or in part.

As Figures 2 and 4 show, each block (1) it has a profile in cross section determined to constitute an area (A) that allows to capture and collect by overflow the pool water and an area (B) that allows to collect the water and direct it inside each block. Obviously, each block is buried and rests, for example, as indicated in the continuation of the description, on a Tosa (D).

Each block (1) has a general shape parallelepiped particularly defining two vertical faces parallel (1a) and (1b) and a bottom (1c).

The zone (A) is constituted by a part rectilinear or edge (1d) formed at the upper end of the face flat (1a) considered by the water side of the glass. This edge (1d) is extended laterally by an inclined face (1e) in zone address (B). This zone (B) is made in the form of gutter (1f) attached to the other vertical flat face (1b) of the block (one).

In a known way, the bottom of the gutter (1f) take a rack (3) to collect the water from the glass of the pool around the area (A) and to feed the interior of each of the blocks (1) that serve as an essential buffer tank for the proper functioning of the pool set. After assembly of the different blocks (1), water is distributed throughout the perimeter. It should also be noted that each of the gutters (1f) or only some of them can carry one or several prefilters (2).

To avoid water losses under the effect of large overflow waves, it is important that the evacuation of the Gutter water (1f) is carried out as quickly as possible. There is It should be noted that to limit splashes, the gutter (1f) can carry a profile in cross section that is deviated (figure 4bis) to forward the overflow waves to the Pool interior.

Importantly and advantageously, the part rectilinear or edge (1d) is located at a level higher than defined by the junction part of the gutter (1f) with the face flat vertical (1b), this part being located almost at the level of the soil surface where the different blocks are buried (one). It follows that the water level in the glass is located visually on a level higher than the one delimited by the terrain where The pool vessel is implanted.

Obviously, without deviating from the framework of the invention, it is not excluded that this rectilinear part (1d) is located at the same level as the junction part of the gutter (1f) with the flat vertical face (1b).

Given these different accessories, it follows that a large length of the drain constituted by the edge (1d) and inclined face (1e) and, after assembly of the different blocks, you need several means to ensure the water circulation in order to feed a water film of sufficient thickness on said edge. Therefore it is it is necessary to precisely regulate the horizontality of the edge (1d). For example, an adjustment breastplate (4) can be placed in a linear indentation (1g) formed on the upper part of the face (1a) of the block (1). This fitting bib (4) as well as the face (1a), the edge (1d) and the inclined face (1e) may be coated with  a sealing membrane or lining (5) that will be attached by a normalized profile or by a flange.

To reduce costs, the different blocks deposits (1) are made by the known technique of rotational molding The different blocks (1) are coupled to each other by means of braces or rods or structure tubes (6) placed almost at the level of each of the angles of the block considered. Between the blocks (1) are mounted cross ties (7) formed in section to finish off the side faces of each of the blocks (1) (Figure 6). Naughty flanges (7) delimit, by consequently, two corresponding support faces (7a) and (7b) respectively to the flat face (1a) and zone (A) to allow fixing cladding panels (8) and (9) made of any material that allows to finish the glass and the  upper sides. For example, if one side of the pool It is composed of "n" blocks, the braces (6) allow its coupling, together with flanges (7). To this end, the braces (6) are placed outside the "n" blocks and engaged in the naughty flanges (7) fitted at the end of these blocks. Naughty flanges can be fixed on your position on the braces (6) for example by means of rivets (figure 5).

It should also be noted that the blocks deposits (1) can fit with elements (10) that serve as a base of stability In the same way as the sleepers (7), the base elements (10) may be mounted in combination with the braces (6). Some of the elements of the base (10) located in the rear, they can carry accessories (10a) for mounting a profile (11) that serves as a formwork with a frame peripheral.

The sides of the glass can be made in a single juxtaposition assembly of several deposit blocks (1) in combination with the straps (6) and the sleepers (7) as has indicated. Each set is assembled after it way with angle blocks (12).

At the bottom each block (1) or (12) carries hydraulic coupling and interconnection accessories (1h) of all the blocks with each other. Likewise each of the blocks tanks (1), or some of them only, carry accessories (1i) for the installation and coupling of the return nozzles of the water in the pool glass (figure 7).

A technical pumping and filtering module is integrated in one of the reservoir blocks (1), or is independent and is hydraulically coupled to one of the blocks (1). This technical module is of any known and appropriate type. Also one of the blocks (1) can be equipped with probes or other means of water level control, serving the
set of the buffer tank blocks (1).

The device, as defined according to the features of the invention is compatible with a system that integrate an automatic glass cover gate.

The advantages are deducted from the description and, in particular, the industrial design of the glass is pointed out and remembered which enhances the level of the water surface on the soils, with an apparent peripheral overflow, providing an aesthetic careful and attractive.
