Abstract

The insulating cover for a swimming pool has a double panel formed of two envelopes (2,3) which are inflated by a vent (4) and deployed along two rails (1). The envelopes are fixed under tension to maintain their position if the wind fails. The envelopes are fixed to the frames by tensioners. The envelopes fold automatically under their own weight if the tensioners are released and the wind fails.

Description

La présente invention concerne une couverture isothermique déployable et rétractable pour tout type d'espace et plus particulièrement pour les piscines. The present invention relates to an deployable and retractable isothermal cover for any type of space and more particularly for swimming pools.

De nombreux espaces (terrains de sports notamment) doivent être couverts en hiver et découverts l'été afin d'optimiser le rendement de ces installations. Jusqu'à présent, les systèmes de couverture de toit à partie mobile engendrent presque toujours des mécanismes lourds et peu maniables mettant en péril, par le coût de leur infrastructure, l'intérêt même du procédé. De plus, il n'assure pas toujours une bonne isothermie. Many spaces (including sports fields) must be covered in winter and discovered in summer to optimize the performance of these facilities. Up to now, movable part roofing systems almost always generate heavy and unwieldy mechanisms jeopardizing, by the cost of their infrastructure, the very interest of the process. In addition, it does not always provide good isothermal.

Le dispositif employé dans la présente invention doit permettre de résoudre ce problème technique. Le principe du système de couverture est une double toile qui monte le long de deux rails et qui peut se rétracter par son propre poids. Un système de ventilation créé une surpression interne entre les deux enveloppes de la double toile qui permettent à celles-ci de se déployer le long des rails et ainsi de créer la couverture. L'isothermie est assurée par le flux d'air résidant entre les 2 toiles. The device used in the present invention must make it possible to solve this technical problem. The principle of the roofing system is a double fabric which goes up along two rails and which can retract by its own weight. A ventilation system creates an internal overpressure between the two envelopes of the double fabric which allow them to deploy along the rails and thus create the cover. Insulation is ensured by the air flow residing between the two fabrics.

Une fois en tension, la double toile est fixée par des attaches à ses extrémités (système d'accastillage classique d'architecture textile). Cela permet de la mettre en sécurité dans le cas où l'unité de ventilation venait à s'arrêter anormalement. Once in tension, the double fabric is fixed by fasteners at its ends (classic hardware system of textile architecture). This allows it to be locked in the event that the ventilation unit stops abnormally.

Pour découvrir l'espace considéré, il suffit d'enlever les attaches de sécurité puis d'interrompre l'unité de ventilation. Une fois que la double toile s'est rétractée sur elle-même, il ne reste que les éléments porteurs qui eux aussi peuvent par mécanisme approprié, selon l'architecture du bâtiment, être dégagés de la zone découverte. La zone est alors totalement découverte. To discover the space in question, simply remove the safety clips and then interrupt the ventilation unit. Once the double canvas has retracted on itself, only the load-bearing elements remain which can also, by an appropriate mechanism, depending on the architecture of the building, be released from the uncovered area. The area is then completely uncovered.

Selon la surface à couvrir, il est possible de créer plusieurs modules. Dans ce cas, il faudra alimenter en air chaque module soit par une gaine communicante soit par plusieurs unités de ventilations propres à chaque module. Depending on the surface to be covered, it is possible to create several modules. In this case, it will be necessary to supply air to each module either by a communicating duct or by several ventilation units specific to each module.

L'unité de ventilation est semblable à celles utilisées pour les dômes gonflables. En outre elle comporte également une unité de ventilation de secours qui doit être indépendante. Les éléments porteurs servant de rails peuvent être rectilignes ou cintrés selon l'architecture choisie. The ventilation unit is similar to those used for inflatable domes. In addition it also includes an emergency ventilation unit which must be independent. The load-bearing elements serving as rails can be straight or curved depending on the architecture chosen.

Le tissu employé pour ce procédé de couverture est celui qui est couramment utilisé pour la réalisation d'architectures textiles : tissu PVC enduit. The fabric used for this covering process is that which is commonly used for the realization of textile architectures: coated PVC fabric.

Le Caisson de rangement peut comprendre l'unité de ventilation et la gaine d'arrivée d'air commune aux différents modules (lorsque c'est le cas). The storage box can include the ventilation unit and the air intake duct common to the different modules (when this is the case).

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention # La figure 1 représente, en vue isométrique, le procédé adapté à la couverture d'une piscine avec gradins. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention # FIG. 1 shows, in isometric view, the method suitable for covering a swimming pool with steps.

# La figure 2 représente, en vue isométrique l'invention toujours adaptée à une piscine mais dans la configuration où la double toile est rétractée.  # Figure 2 shows, in isometric view the invention still suitable for a swimming pool but in the configuration where the double fabric is retracted.

# La figure 3 représente, en vue isométrique l'invention adaptée à une piscine dans le cas où la double toile ainsi que l'ossature des éléments porteurs servant de rail sont rétractés.  # Figure 3 shows, in isometric view the invention suitable for a swimming pool in the case where the double fabric as well as the framework of the supporting elements serving as a rail are retracted.

# La figure 4 représente, en coupe, un module comprenant donc une double toile tendue gonflée entre 2 rails.  # Figure 4 shows, in section, a module therefore comprising a double stretched canvas inflated between 2 rails.

# La figure 5 représente, en vue isométrique, un module avec le caisson de ventilation et de rangement.  # Figure 5 shows, in isometric view, a module with the ventilation and storage box.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisation préféré donné uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif # La double toile est constituée de la toile (2) qui est reliée à la toile (3) par soudure haute fréquence. The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment given solely by way of nonlimiting example # The double fabric consists of the fabric (2) which is connected to the fabric ( 3) by high frequency welding.

A l'extrémité qui sera au point haut en mode déployé, elle est refermée pour assurer son étanchéité. At the end which will be at the highest point in deployed mode, it is closed to ensure its tightness.

A sa base elle est reliée au caisson de ventilation par une gaine manchonnée. At its base it is connected to the ventilation box by a sleeved sheath.

# Les rails (1) sont profilés pour permettre le coulissement de la toile lors de son déploiement ou de sa rétractation.  # The rails (1) are profiled to allow the canvas to slide during its deployment or retraction.

# L'unité de ventilation est accolée au caisson de rangement (4)- Le dispositif suivant l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la couverture des piscines. # The ventilation unit is attached to the storage box (4) - The device according to the invention is particularly intended for covering swimming pools.
