Description

La présente invention vise un dispositif de sécurité pour couvertures rigides de piscines. The present invention relates to a safety device for rigid swimming pool covers.

On connait des couvertures de piscines qui sont constituées par des plaques creuses étanches articulées les unes contre les autres et qui sont destinées à recouvrir le bassin de la piscine de manière, -d'une part, à protéger ledit bassin et, d'autre part, par effet de serre à réchauffer l'eau de celui-ci. There are known swimming pool covers which are formed by waterproof hollow plates hinged against each other and which are intended to cover the swimming pool basin so as, on the one hand, to protect said basin and, on the other hand , by greenhouse effect to warm the water of it.

Généralement, ces couvertures s'enroulent sur un arbre disposé dans un puits au voisinage de l'un des bords de la piscine et traversent une fente reliant le bassin audit puits. Generally, these covers are rolled up on a tree arranged in a well in the vicinity of one of the edges of the swimming pool and pass through a slot connecting the basin to said well.

On a constaté que, quelquefois, lorsque la couverture est posée, des enfants soulevaient l'extrémité libre de celle-ci pour se baigner sous la couverture ce qui constitue un danger. It has been found that, sometimes, when the blanket is placed, children lifted the free end of the latter to bathe under the blanket, which constitutes a danger.

Egalement, si quelqu'un tombe accidentellement dans la pisciné, la couverture étant mise en place, celleci peut basculer sous le poids de la personne qui glissant vers le fond du bassin sous la couverture peut avoir un certain mal à se dégager. Also, if someone accidentally falls into the pool, the cover being put in place, it can tip under the weight of the person who sliding towards the bottom of the pool under the cover may have some difficulty in disengaging.

L'un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un dispositif de sécurité qui permet d'éviter notamment les accidents ci-dessus énoncés. One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a safety device which makes it possible in particular to avoid the accidents mentioned above.

Le dispositif, selon l'invention est destiné à s'appliquer à des couvertures de piscines du type comprenant, à une extrémité du bassin de la piscine, un puits dans lequel s'étend un arbre horizontal relié par une liaison cinématique à des moyens d'entratnement et sur lequel peut s'enrouler ou se dérouler un tapis destiné à s'étendre sur la surface de 11 eau du bassin, ledit tapis étant formé de plaques creuses étanches articulées les unes contre les autres et est caractérisé en ce que la plaque creuse située à l'extrémité libre du tapis comporte au moins une patte s'étendant sensiblement dans la direction de déplacement du tapis tandis que le bord du bassin opposé à celui adja cent au puits comporte des moyens pour recevoir la patte et bloquer celle-ci. The device according to the invention is intended to be applied to swimming pool covers of the type comprising, at one end of the swimming pool basin, a well in which extends a horizontal shaft connected by a kinematic connection to means of drive and on which can be rolled up or unrolled a mat intended to extend over the surface of the water in the basin, said mat being formed of waterproof hollow plates hinged against each other and is characterized in that the plate hollow located at the free end of the mat has at least one tab extending substantially in the direction of movement of the mat while the edge of the basin opposite that adjacent to the well has means for receiving the leg and blocking it .

Grâce à cette disposition, l'extrémité libre de la couverture de piscine est solidaire de la paroi du bassin et, par conséquent, ne peut être soulevée. Thanks to this arrangement, the free end of the swimming pool cover is integral with the wall of the basin and, therefore, cannot be lifted.

Suivant une autre caractéristique, la patte est solidaire d'une bande souple qui passe alternativement dessus et dessous les plaques. Ainsi, lorsque la couverture est posée, la bande souple s'oppose au basculement des plaques si quelqu'un tombe accidentellement sur la couverture. According to another characteristic, the tab is secured to a flexible strip which passes alternately above and below the plates. Thus, when the cover is placed, the flexible strip opposes the tilting of the plates if someone accidentally falls on the cover.

Enfin, suivant une caractéristique constructive particulière, la piscine comporte au moins un écumeur de surface relié à une pompe et débouchant par un orifice dans le bassin au voisinage du bord supérieur de celui-ci, ledit dispositif de sécurité étant caractérisé en ce que la patte est destinée à traverser l'orifice dudit écumeur, dans celuici étant prévu un électro-aimant avec un noyau plongeur relié à un circuit convenable et destiné à coopérer avec une ouverture de ladite-patte.  Finally, according to a particular constructive characteristic, the swimming pool comprises at least one surface skimmer connected to a pump and opening out through an orifice in the basin in the vicinity of the upper edge thereof, said safety device being characterized in that the tab is intended to pass through the orifice of said skimmer, in this being provided an electromagnet with a plunger core connected to a suitable circuit and intended to cooperate with an opening of said tab.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels
La figure 1 est une vue en plan schématique d'une piscine pourvue d'une couverture.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a swimming pool with a cover.

La figure 2 est une vue à plus grande échelle suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1. Figure 2 is an enlarged view along the line II-II of Figure 1.

La figure 3 montre en perspective un détail de l'invention. Figure 3 shows in perspective a detail of the invention.

La piscine représentée à la figure 1 comprend un bassin 1 avec à une extrémité un puits 2 dans lequel s'étend un arbre horizontal 3 relié par une liaison cinématique 4 à un moteur électrique 5 destiné à commander la rotation de l'arbre sélectivement dans un sens et dans le sens opposé. Le moteur est séparé du puits par une paroi 6. The swimming pool represented in FIG. 1 comprises a basin 1 with at one end a well 2 in which extends a horizontal shaft 3 connected by a kinematic link 4 to an electric motor 5 intended to control the rotation of the shaft selectively in a sense and in the opposite direction. The motor is separated from the well by a wall 6.

La couverture de piscine comprend un tapis, désigné dans l'ensemble par la référence 7 et constituée de plaques 8 en matière plastique, lesdites plaques étant creuses et comportant le long d'un bord une partie recourbée 9 et le long du bord opposé une partie recourbée en sens contraire 10. Ainsi, les plaques 8 peuvent être assemblées les unes contre les autres, les parties recourbées 9 et 10 s'imbriquant l'une dans l'autre pour constituer une liaison articulée (voir figures 2 et 3). La plaque 13 située à l'extrémité libre de la couverture de piscine comporte deux pattes 11 percées chacune d'un trou 12, chacune desdites pattes étant solidaire d'une bande souple 14.Chaque bande souple 14 traverse une fente 15 d'une partie 9 passe sous plusieurs plaques 8, ressort par une fente 15 d'une plaque suivante, passe sur plusieurs plaques 8 et passe ensuite à nouveau dessous une série de plaques 8 et ainsi de suite jusqu' l'extrémité du tapis solidaire de l'arbre 3. The swimming pool cover comprises a mat, generally designated by the reference 7 and made up of plates 8 of plastic material, said plates being hollow and comprising along a curved part 9 and along the opposite edge a part curved in opposite directions 10. Thus, the plates 8 can be assembled against each other, the curved parts 9 and 10 overlapping one another to form an articulated connection (see Figures 2 and 3). The plate 13 located at the free end of the swimming pool cover has two tabs 11 each pierced with a hole 12, each of said tabs being secured to a flexible strip 14.Each flexible strip 14 passes through a slot 15 in one part 9 passes under several plates 8, comes out through a slot 15 of a next plate, passes over several plates 8 and then again passes under a series of plates 8 and so on until the end of the mat secured to the tree 3.

Comme on le voit à la figure 2, le bassin comporte sur son bord opposé à celui adjacent au puits 2, deux écumeurs de surface 17 qui comportent un orifice latéral 18 débouchant dans le bassin et un réceptable 19 relié par un tuyau 20 à une pompe avec un système de filtration, non représenté ici. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the basin comprises on its edge opposite that adjacent to the well 2, two surface skimmers 17 which have a lateral orifice 18 opening into the basin and a receptacle 19 connected by a pipe 20 to a pump with a filtration system, not shown here.

Le réceptable 19 comporte latéralement en regard de l'orifice 18 un électro-aimant 22 pourvu d'un noyau plongeur 23 et relié à un circuit électrique convenable pour commander l'effacement dudit noyau plongeur 23. The receptacle 19 comprises laterally opposite the orifice 18 an electromagnet 22 provided with a plunger core 23 and connected to a suitable electrical circuit for controlling the erasure of said plunger core 23.

Ainsi, lorsque le tapis 7 est mis en place, les pattes ll s'insèrent dans les orifices 18 et les noyaux 23 traversent les trous 12 des pattes 11. On conçoit que le tapis ne peut plus être soulevé et que les liens 14 empêchent tout basculement des plaques 8 si quelqu'un venait accidentellement à tomber dans la piscine. Thus, when the carpet 7 is put in place, the legs ll are inserted into the holes 18 and the cores 23 pass through the holes 12 of the legs 11. It will be appreciated that the carpet can no longer be lifted and that the links 14 prevent all tilting plates 8 if someone accidentally falls into the pool.

Lorsqu'on replie la couverture de piscine, on commande l'effacement du noyau 23 pour permettre aux pattes 11 d'être libérées. When the pool cover is folded, the core 23 is erased to allow the tabs 11 to be released.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many detailed modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
