Description

Support d'enroulment de couverture de piscine
L'invention est relative à un dispositif d'enroulement pour couverture ou volet enroulable, notamment pour les couvertures de piscine, du type comportant un arbre d'enroulement sur lequel la couverture arrive dans une direction proche de l'horizontale, et un moteur d'entraînement de l'arbre.Pool cover winding support
The invention relates to a winding device for a rolling cover or shutter, in particular for swimming pool covers, of the type comprising a winding shaft on which the cover arrives in a direction close to the horizontal, and a motor for tree drive.

Une couverture enroulable pour piscine est notamment décrite dans le document FR-A-2507656 au nom du Demandeur. A roll-up cover for a swimming pool is described in particular in document FR-A-2507656 in the name of the Applicant.

Un tel dispositif comporte le plus souvent un système tendeur destiné à maintenir en tension la couverture pendant son enroulement. Un tel système comporte au moins une sangle de tension dont une extrémité est fixée à l'arbre d'enroulement et dont 1 'autre extrémité est fixée à un tambour tendeur, la sangle définissant une section utile entre l'arbre d'entraînement d'une part et un rouleau de positionnement d'autre part. Le document FR
A-2326558 fait connaître un systeme tendeur de ce type.Such a device most often comprises a tensioning system intended to keep the cover in tension during its winding. Such a system comprises at least one tension strap, one end of which is fixed to the winding shaft and the other end of which is fixed to a tension drum, the strap defining a useful section between the drive shaft on the one hand and a positioning roller on the other. The FR document
A-2326558 discloses a tensioning system of this type.

Dans les dispositifs connus, l'ensemble de l'enrouleur et du systeme tendeur est logé dans un caisson parallèle à un côté de la piscine, caisson rempli d'eau communiquant par un seuil immergé avec la piscine, de sorte que la couverture est constamment soutenue en lottaison par a'eau. Or on s'est aperçu que le caisson rempli d'une eau plus ou moins stagnante constituait un milieu favorable à la prolifération microbienne, laquelle s'etendait ensuite à 1 'eau de la piscine ellememe par dessus le seuil immergé. In known devices, all of the reel and the tensioning system is housed in a box parallel to one side of the pool, a box filled with water communicating with a submerged threshold with the pool, so that the cover is constantly supported in waterlogging. However, it has been found that the box filled with more or less stagnant water constitutes a medium favorable to microbial proliferation, which then extends to the water of the swimming pool itself above the submerged threshold.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif ne présentant pas le grave inconvénient ci-dessus mentionné, donc un dispositif dans lequel il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir un seuil immergé. A cet effet, l'invention propose des moyens mécaniques de soutien de la couverture dans la région proche de l'arbre d'enroulement.  The object of the invention is to propose a device which does not have the serious drawback mentioned above, therefore a device in which it is not necessary to have a submerged threshold. To this end, the invention proposes mechanical means for supporting the cover in the region close to the winding shaft.

Plus précisément, l'invention se caractérise en ce que le tambour tendeur et le rouleau de positionnement sont disposés par rapport à l'arbre de manière que la section utile de la sangle passe sous la partie de couverture proche de l'horizontale qui arrive sur l'arbre d'enroulement, et supporte cette partie. De la sorte, il n'est plus nécessaire d'avoir de 1' eau dans le caisson, ni d'immerger le seuil. Pour franchir celui-ci on prévoit avantageusement un dispositif annexe de soutien horizontal, à rouleaux ou à tapis sans fin. More specifically, the invention is characterized in that the tensioning drum and the positioning roller are arranged with respect to the shaft so that the useful section of the strap passes under the covering part close to the horizontal which arrives on the winding shaft, and supports this part. In this way, it is no longer necessary to have water in the box, nor to immerse the threshold. To cross it there is advantageously provided an additional horizontal support device, roller or endless belt.

Le dispositif de l'invention peut être associé à un dispositif tendeur conventionnel si besoin est. The device of the invention can be combined with a conventional tensioning device if necessary.

Naturellement, les dispositifs de l'invention sont multipliés en fonction de la largeur de la couverture, par exemple en en plaçant un tous les deux mètres. Naturally, the devices of the invention are multiplied as a function of the width of the cover, for example by placing one every two meters.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description qui va suivre d'un mode préféré de réalisation. The invention will be better understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment.

I1 sera fait référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue de côté schématique du dispositif conforme à l'invention.Reference will be made to the appended drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the device according to the invention.

- les figures 2 et 3 sont une vue de côté d'un dispositif connu respectivement à l'état déroulé et enroulé. - Figures 2 and 3 are a side view of a known device respectively in the unrolled and wound state.

- la figure 4 est une vue de côté d'un autre dispositif connu. - Figure 4 is a side view of another known device.

Sur les figures 2 à 4, une couverture enroulable 1, destinée à couvrir 1' eau 2 d'une piscine, peut s'enrouler autour d'un arbre d'enroulement 3, logé dans un caisson 4 contigu à la piscine. La couverture 1 passe au travers d'une ouverture 5 prévue dans le caisson. Celui-ci est rempli d'eau, qui cmunique avec celle de la piscine de sorte que la couverture 1 est supporté en flottaison sur l'eau, notamment lors de son passage au dessus du seuil inférieur 6 de l'ouverture 5 du caisson 4. In FIGS. 2 to 4, a rollable cover 1, intended to cover the water 2 of a swimming pool, can be wound around a winding shaft 3, housed in a box 4 contiguous to the pool. The cover 1 passes through an opening 5 provided in the box. The latter is filled with water, which is united with that of the swimming pool so that the cover 1 is supported in floating on the water, in particular when it passes above the lower threshold 6 of the opening 5 of the box 4 .

Les moyens moteurs d'entraînement de l'arbre 3 ne sont pas représentés. The drive means for driving the shaft 3 are not shown.

Le dispositif tendeur, permettant un enroulement correct de la couverture 1 sur l'arbre 3 comprend une sangle 7 dont une extrémité est fixée en 8 à l'arbre 3 et 1' autre extrémité est fixée sur un tambour tendeur 9, muni d'un ressort hélicoïdal le rappelant dans le sens représenté par la flèche 10. La section utile 11 de la sangle est définie entre l'arbre d'entraînement et un rouleau de positionnement qui peut être un rouleau de renvoi 12 (figures 2 et 3) ou le tambour 9 luiméme (fig.4). Cette section utile 11 permet de presser sur les spires formées, jusqu'à l'obtention d'un enroulement complet l3-(fig.3).  The tensioning device, allowing correct winding of the cover 1 on the shaft 3 comprises a strap 7, one end of which is fixed at 8 to the shaft 3 and the other end is fixed to a tension drum 9, provided with a helical spring recalling it in the direction represented by the arrow 10. The useful section 11 of the strap is defined between the drive shaft and a positioning roller which can be a deflection roller 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3) or the drum 9 itself (fig. 4). This useful section 11 makes it possible to press on the turns formed, until a complete winding 13 is obtained (fig. 3).

L'invention visant à supprimer la nécessité d'avoir de l'eau dans le caisson 4, ou, tout au moins d'avoir de l'eau au dessus du seuil inférieur 6 de l'ouverture 5, il est prévu (fig.l), de positionner une section utile 11' de sangle 7' sous la partie 1' de couverture venant, dans une direction proche de l'horizontale, s'enrouleur sur l'arbre 3. Ce dernier est disposé de telle sorte que à l'état enroulé (représenté en traits pleins) et à l'état déroulé (représenté en traits pointillés) la partie 1' soit relativement proche de l'horizontale. The invention aims to eliminate the need to have water in the box 4, or, at least to have water above the lower threshold 6 of the opening 5, it is provided (fig. l), to position a useful section 11 'of strap 7' under the cover part 1 'coming, in a direction close to the horizontal, rewinding on the shaft 3. The latter is arranged so that at the rolled up state (represented in solid lines) and in the unrolled state (represented in dotted lines) the part 1 ′ is relatively close to the horizontal.

La sangle 7' est tendue grâce à un système tout à fait analogue à celui des systèmes tendeurs connus, si ce n'est dans son emplacement particulier : on y retrouve le tambour 9' rappelé dans le sens 10' et le rouleau de positionnement 12', située juste au bord du seuil 6 de l'ouverture 5, légèrement en saillie dans le caisson 4
Le rouleau 128 fait luiméme partie d'un sytème de franchissement du seuil 6, destiné à supporter la couverture 1 qui ne flotte plus sur l'eau dont le niveau vient en dessous du seuil 6. Ce système comporte une série de rouleaux 14 montés sur un bâti fixé sur le seuil 6. Le rouleau 14 le plus près de la piscine vient avantageusement en saillie au dessus de l'eau. On peut prévoir un tapis sans fin à la place des rouleaux 14.The strap 7 'is stretched thanks to a system completely similar to that of known tensioning systems, except in its particular location: there is the drum 9' recalled in the direction 10 'and the positioning roller 12 ', located just at the edge of the threshold 6 of the opening 5, slightly protruding into the box 4
The roller 128 is itself part of a threshold crossing system 6, intended to support the cover 1 which no longer floats on water whose level comes below the threshold 6. This system comprises a series of rollers 14 mounted on a frame fixed on the threshold 6. The roller 14 closest to the pool advantageously projects above the water. An endless belt can be provided in place of the rollers 14.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de soutenir la partie 1' de couverture qui s'enroule, et exerce une tension permettant le serrage des spires déjà formées, sauf la dernière. The device of the invention makes it possible to support the part 1 'of cover which is wound up, and exerts a tension allowing the tightening of the turns already formed, except the last.

On peut éventuellement l'associer à un dispositif de tension connu, comme représenté sur la figure 1.  It can optionally be associated with a known tensioning device, as shown in FIG. 1.

Gi: peut également prévoir dans le caisson 4, une rampe d'arrosage placée à sa partie supérieure pour laver la couverture et une évacuation placée à sa partie inférieure.  Gi: can also provide in box 4, a watering ramp placed at its upper part to wash the cover and an evacuation placed at its lower part.
