Abstract

The weather-proof cover protects flat surfaces such as sports grounds and can be put out or folded up rapidly and easily. It consists of removable supports (2) in holes in one side of the ground on which rollers (3) are fixed. These are staggered slightly in height and alignment so that the canvas (4,4') is overlapped slightly. On the other side of the ground there are similar supports on which eyelets in the canvas slide to fix it to the base of the support. Side pieces.

Description

Le dispositif est destine à permettre d'isoler de la pluie, neige ou autres retombées atmosphériques des sols, terrasses ou similaires (par exemple terrains de sports, courts de tennis) exposés en permanence à ces intempéries, afin de permettre leur utilisation dès l'arrêt de celles-ci. The device is intended to allow rain, snow or other atmospheric fallout to be isolated from soils, terraces or the like (for example sports grounds, tennis courts) permanently exposed to these bad weather, in order to allow their use from the stop them.

I1 a en effet été constaté que la rentabilité d'un court de tennis extérieur se trouve très sensiblement diminuée dans les périodes d'humidité par le simple fait que le terrain imbibé d'eau rend impraticable toute action sportive. I1 has indeed been found that the profitability of an outdoor tennis court is very significantly reduced in periods of humidity by the simple fact that the ground soaked in water makes any sporting action impracticable.

n est par ailleurs nécessaire qu'un système de protection tendant à isoler le dit terrain puisse être étendu très rapidement dès l'approche de l'averse, escamoté non moins rapidement dès que celle-ci est terminée sans entrainer une quelconque gêne de manoeuvre des joueurs et enfin démonté totalement lorsque la saison permet d'espérer la disparition totale de telles nuisances. It is moreover necessary that a protection system tending to isolate the said terrain can be extended very quickly as soon as the downpour approaches, retracted no less quickly as soon as it is finished without causing any discomfort in maneuvering the players and finally completely dismantled when the season makes it possible to hope for the total disappearance of such nuisances.

Considérant l'importance des surfaces à couvrir et la légéreté relative nécessaire à l'utilisation facile d'son tel système, le dispositif constitué d'une pluralité d'éléments doit être par ailleurs avantageusement doté d'une possibilité d'orientition mobile facilitant, outre l'écoulement, d'éviter la prise au vent de la toile protectrice. Considering the importance of the surfaces to be covered and the relative lightness necessary for the easy use of such a system, the device made up of a plurality of elements must also be advantageously provided with a possibility of mobile orientation facilitating, in addition to the flow, avoid catching the protective fabric in the wind.

Bien évidemment, l'emploi d'un tel procédé n'est pas limité aux seuls terrains de sports et peut-être étendu à d'autres usages (protection de solariums, cultures, constructions, piscines découvertes se trouvant à proximité de plantations, etc ...)
Tel qu'il est décrit dans les dessins ci-dessous annexés représentant une forme de réalisation nullement limitative, le dispositif est constitué par une pluralité d'éléments enrouleurs d'une longueur permettant leur manipulation, les dits éléments étant disposés de manière amovible surldes supports eux-mêmes escamotables situés sur l'un des côtés du terrain à protéger.
Obviously, the use of such a process is not limited only to sports grounds and perhaps extended to other uses (protection of solariums, crops, constructions, outdoor pools located near plantations, etc. ...)
As described in the appended drawings below representing a non-limiting embodiment, the device is constituted by a plurality of winding elements of a length allowing their manipulation, the said elements being removably arranged on the supports retractable themselves located on one side of the terrain to be protected.

Sur le c8té opposé, une même série de supports est disposée et est destinée à recevoir les extrémités de la partie protectrice après son déroulage, avec possibilité d'orientation de celle-ci afin de permettre l'écoulement et éviter la prise au vent. Ces supports, tous identiques peuvent recevoir les éléments, afin de permettre le choix du côté d'écoulement. On the opposite side, the same series of supports is arranged and is intended to receive the ends of the protective part after it is unrolled, with the possibility of orientation of the latter in order to allow the flow and avoid being taken in the wind. These supports, all identical can receive the elements, to allow the choice of the flow side.

La figure 1 représente en perspective un court de tennis doté d'un système de protection selon l'invention dans lequel les piquets 2 montés de manière amovi U e dans les trous situés sur l'un des côtés dudit court supportant à leur partie supérieure des dispositifs dévidoirs 3 disposes légérement décalés les uns par rapport aux autres en hauteur et en alignement afin de permettre aux toiles protectrices 4 - 4 b de se chevaucher légérement.  FIG. 1 shows in perspective a tennis court provided with a protection system according to the invention in which the stakes 2 mounted in a detachable manner in the holes situated on one of the sides of said court supporting at their upper part reel devices 3 arranged slightly offset with respect to each other in height and in alignment so as to allow the protective fabrics 4 - 4 b to overlap slightly.

Sur l'autre côté du terrain, sont disposés des supports 2 de même forme, aux mêmes écartements, les dits supports étant destinés à recevoir en partie basse l'extrémité des toiles protectrices 4 - 4 b qui peuvent avantageusement coulisser grâce à des oeilletons ménagés sur les bords de celles-ci, sur des cables de guidage 5 - 5 b disposés sur chacun des côtés du dispositif et déroulés avant la toile; étant bien entendu accrochés aux mêmes supports. les jupes 6 peuvent éventuellement être disposés sur le rouleau dévidoir ou sur les côtés 7 de chacun des éléments de bout afin d'éviter aux vents tourbillonnants de s'engouffrer sous les toiles de protection. On the other side of the ground, supports 2 of the same shape are arranged, at the same spacings, said supports being intended to receive in the lower part the end of the protective fabrics 4 - 4b which can advantageously slide thanks to provided eyecups. on the edges thereof, on guide cables 5 - 5 b arranged on each side of the device and unwound before the fabric; being of course hung on the same supports. the skirts 6 may possibly be arranged on the reel roller or on the sides 7 of each of the end elements in order to prevent the swirling winds from rushing under the protective fabrics.

La figure II représente en vue de dessus la disposition des éléments 8 et 8' et de leurs supports 2 situés le long de la limite du court 1. Dans cette forme de réalisation, la protection longitudinale contre les vents tourbillonnants est assurée par une cloison rigide 6 alors que la protection latérale est obtenue par une jupe 7. Figure II shows a top view of the arrangement of elements 8 and 8 'and their supports 2 located along the boundary of the court 1. In this embodiment, the longitudinal protection against swirling winds is provided by a rigid partition 6 while the side protection is obtained by a skirt 7.

La figure III représente en coupe longitudinale et en vue d'extrémité le dispositif selon une forme de réalisation dans laquelle l'axe 9 monté non pivotant dans les chapes situées au sommet des supports 2 (qui peuvent être avantageusement escamotables grâce à des pivots 10) - assure la rotation concentrique d'un rouleau 11 par 1' intermédiaire de paliers à billes 12. Une pluralité de rubans de caoutchouc sont fixés, répartis sur la circonférence contre la façe interne du tube à chacune de ses extrémités alors que le faisceau est bloqué au centre sur le tube intérieur 9 grâce à une bague 13. L'action de développer la toile de protection 14 afin de protéger le sol détermine un enroulement et une tension des rubans de caoutchouc qui permet d'obtenir un réenroulement automatique lorsque la toile 14 est décrochée de la base des supports 2'. Des gorges 15 ménagées aux extrémités du tube 11 permettant d'enrouler les pables de raidissement 16. Figure III shows in longitudinal section and in end view the device according to an embodiment in which the axis 9 mounted non-pivotally in the yokes located at the top of the supports 2 (which can be advantageously retractable by pivots 10) - ensures the concentric rotation of a roller 11 by means of ball bearings 12. A plurality of rubber bands are fixed, distributed around the circumference against the internal face of the tube at each of its ends while the beam is blocked in the center on the inner tube 9 thanks to a ring 13. The action of developing the protective fabric 14 in order to protect the ground determines a winding and a tension of the rubber bands which makes it possible to obtain an automatic rewinding when the fabric 14 is detached from the base of the supports 2 '. Grooves 15 formed at the ends of the tube 11 for winding the stiffening plates 16.

Dens une forme de réalisation non représentée, ltentrainement peut-etre obtenu par l'emploi de ressorts appropriés. In an embodiment not shown, the drive can be obtained by the use of suitable springs.
