Abstract

The cover has parallel vertical chassis (10) extending from one side to the other of the space to be covered, each having a top and bottom beam spaced and parallel with respect to each other. Roller guides (16) are provided at the ends of the chassis to guide them and ensure that they move in parallel while a flexible cover over the chassis is deployed. Connecting rods (19) articulate on the chassis at their mid length, and are joined together by their ends where they are also connected to a common connecting bar (21).

Description

La présente invention est relative aux toits repliables,
La couverture des piscines a toujours été un problème.
The present invention relates to folding roofs,
Pool coverage has always been an issue.

Lorsque l'espace le permet, on a utilisé des toits coulissants. Lorsque l'on ne dispose pas d'espace, il est habituel d'utiliser ce qui est en fait une bâche tendue par-dessus la piscine. Une telle bâche n'est pas facile à manipuler et ne fournit pas l'avantage fondamental d'un véritable toit, a savoir l'effet de serre au-dessus de la piscine pour permettre de nager par temps froid.When space permits, sliding roofs have been used. When there is no space, it is usual to use what is actually a tarp stretched over the pool. Such a tarpaulin is not easy to handle and does not provide the fundamental advantage of a real roof, namely the greenhouse effect above the pool to allow swimming in cold weather.

L'invention a pour but de fournir un toit repliable qui peut être manipule facilement pour couvrir et découvrir une piscine et qui fournit l'effet de serre bénéfique lorsqu'il recouvre une piscine,
Un toit repliable suivant l'invention comprend une série de cadres verticaux parallèles qui s'étendent d'un côté å l'autre de l'espace . recouvrir , chaque chassis comportant
des poutres supérieure et inférieure espacées "une de l'autre et parallèles l'une à l'autre, des moyens prévus aux extrémités de chaque châssis et destinés à guider les châssis de manière
qu' ils se déplacent en parallelisme, une série de biellettes d'étale longueur articulées en leur milieu aux poutres supérieures et aux poutres inférieures des châssis et articulées
les unes aux autres â leurs extrémités libres de~manière à
former une tringlerie du type pantographe , les biellettes articulées aux poutres supérieures étant recourbées de manière que leurs extrémités libres s'articulent aux. mees oints d'articulation que les biellettes inférieures, et une couverture souple fixée au sommet d'au .moins -certains des châssis .
The object of the invention is to provide a folding roof which can be easily manipulated to cover and uncover a swimming pool and which provides the beneficial greenhouse effect when it covers a swimming pool,
A folding roof according to the invention comprises a series of parallel vertical frames which extend from one side to the other of the space. cover, each chassis comprising
upper and lower beams spaced "from each other and parallel to each other, means provided at the ends of each chassis and intended to guide the chassis so
as they move in parallelism, a series of length-length rods articulated in their middle to the upper beams and to the lower beams of the chassis and articulated
to each other at their free ends so that
form a linkage of the pantograph type, the links articulated to the upper beams being bent so that their free ends are articulated to. mees anointed with articulation as the lower links, and a flexible cover fixed to the top of at least -some of the chassis.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention,
Les points d'articulation des extrémités libres des biel
Lettes sont également articulés a une barre de liaison ommune. I1 est également prévu suivant l'invention de renforcer la poutre supérieure de chaque châssis par une structure formant youte t
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, données uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels
la Fig.l est une vue partielle en plan d'un toit suivant l'invention, dans son état replié
la Fig.2 est une vue de dessus du toit â. l'état déployé, la couverture étant retireei
la Fig.3 est une coupe prise suivant la ligne 3-3 de la Fig.2 ; et
la Fig.4 est une vue partielle en bout d'un châssis,
Les principaux éléments du toit illustré sont constitués par une serine de chasses 1O qui peuvent entre rapprochés et éloignés les uns des autre.s en parallélisme. Chaque châssis 10 est constitué d'une poutre supérieure 11 et d'une poutre inférieure 12 réunies par des supports inclinés 13 à leurs deux extrémités ( voir Fig .3). La poutre 11 est raidie au moyen d'une voute triangulée 14. A leurs extrémités, les châssis 10 portent des. roues 15 qui roulent dans des gouttières 16 prévues sur le côté d'une piscine.
According to another characteristic of the invention,
The articulation points of the free ends of the biel
Lettes are also hinged to a common link bar. I1 is also provided according to the invention to strengthen the upper beam of each frame by a structure forming youte t
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge during the description which follows, given solely by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended drawings in which
Fig.l is a partial plan view of a roof according to the invention, in its folded state
Fig.2 is a top view of the roof â. the deployed state, the cover being removed
Fig.3 is a section taken along line 3-3 of Fig.2; and
Fig.4 is a partial end view of a chassis,
The main elements of the roof illustrated are constituted by a serine of hunts 1O which can between close and distant from each other in parallelism. Each frame 10 consists of an upper beam 11 and a lower beam 12 joined by inclined supports 13 at their two ends (see Fig .3). The beam 11 is stiffened by means of a triangulated arch 14. At their ends, the frames 10 carry. wheels 15 which roll in gutters 16 provided on the side of a swimming pool.

Les châssis 10 sont reliés et maintenus debout par une série de biellettes fonctionnant sur le principe du pantographe s-ans -multiplication ni réduction de l'échelle du mouvement. The chassis 10 are connected and held upright by a series of links operating on the principle of the pantograph s-ans -multiplication or reduction of the scale of the movement.

Les poutres inférieures 12 sont reliées les unes aux autres par des biellettes 17 articulées autour d'un axe 18, tandis que sur les poutres supérieures sont articulées, également autour d'un axe 18, des biellettes recourbées 19,
Les biellettess 17 et 19- associées à des châssis 10 adjacents sont articulées sur des points d'articulation 20 ensemble et à des barres de liaison 21 qui contribuent a maintenir le parallelisme. du mouvement. Les biellettes recourbées 19 représentées sont recourbées suivant une confiration trapézoïdale pour maintenir les châssis 10 vertichaux
Une couverture translucide 24 en matière plastique est fixée au moyen d'agrafes 25 sur les éléments supérieurs des voûtes 14 et recouvrent l'ensemble lorsqu'il est déployé,
Le toit peut entre plié et déployé en poussant ou en tirant simplement un châssis d'extrémité 10, Cependant, pour la commodité de cette opération, ce châssis peut être relié au moyen de cibles a ut tambour ou à des tambours de treuil prévus à une extrémité de la piscine, de façpn que le toit puisse être manipule en faisant tourner le treuil à la main ou au moyen d'un moteur réversible approprié.
The lower beams 12 are connected to each other by rods 17 articulated around an axis 18, while on the upper beams are articulated, also around an axis 18, curved rods 19,
The links 17 and 19- associated with adjacent frames 10 are articulated on articulation points 20 together and with connecting bars 21 which help to maintain parallelism. movement. The curved rods 19 shown are curved in a trapezoidal configuration to maintain the chassis 10 vertichaux
A translucent plastic cover 24 is fixed by means of staples 25 to the upper elements of the arches 14 and cover the assembly when it is deployed,
The roof can between folded and deployed by simply pushing or pulling an end frame 10, However, for the convenience of this operation, this frame can be connected by means of drum targets or to winch drums provided with a end of the pool, so that the roof can be manipulated by turning the winch by hand or by means of a suitable reversible motor.
