Abstract

This swimming pool comprises a semi-rigid and watertight fabric structure (1) delimiting at least two open volumes (1a) and (1b) each having an upper flange secured to an inflatable bead (2) and (3) to constitute, after filling in water of said volumes, an external basin (B) and an internal basin (B1), the water of the external basin being sucked by a pumping and filtration assembly (4) to be discharged into the internal basin, so that the water of said internal basin overflows into said external basin.

Description

The invention relates to the swimming pool sector.

  More particularly, the invention relates to aboveground pools.

  Among the different types of aboveground pools, there are essentially those with a rigid structure (wood, plastic, metal,) and those with flexible structures.

  More particularly, the invention relates to swimming pools whose basic structure is flexible and perfectly known to a skilled person under the name of freestanding pools. This type of swimming pool includes, for the most part, a basic structure of circular general shape made in a waterproof plastic sheeting and semi-rigid (vinyl for example). The structure delimits a wall whose upper edge is secured to an inflatable bead. It suffices to inflate the flange and fill the structure with water, so that the wall is stretched as the flange swells under the effect of filling. These freestanding pools can be made in different diameters and heights.

  From this basic principle of self-supporting swimming pools, the problem that the invention proposes to solve is to create a new pool concept, so as to provide a zone more particularly intended for children, and a zone more particularly intended for children. adults, with the aim of achieving a perfectly aesthetic whole for a better integration on a ground.

  To solve such a problem, it was designed and developed a freestanding pool that includes a semi-rigid canvas structure and waterproof delimiting at least two nested open volumes each having an upper rim secured to an inflatable bead to constitute, after filling in water of said volumes, an external basin and an internal basin, the water of the external basin being sucked by a pumping and filtration assembly to be discharged into the internal basin, so that the water of said internal basin overflows into said basin external.

  Advantageously, the internal basin is of greater height than the external basin. Both basins are concentric.

  Given the basic characteristics of the invention, it results in great safety, since children do not have direct access to the large pool. We also observe the resulting decorative appearance resulting from the overflow of the large basin to the small basin.

  To solve the problem of ensuring the overflow of the large basin to the small basin, the external basin has arrangements for connection to the suction system of the pump assembly and filtration connected to arrangements of the internal basin for the discharge filtered water.

  As a result, the external basin serves as a buffer tank for the overflow of the internal pond water according to the principle of so-called overflow pools.

  Advantageously, to solve the problem of rationalizing the manufacturing, with a perfect seal, the two nested open volumes that the canvas presents, constitute a unitary unit.

  In one embodiment, micro-perforated ramps are disposed at the flanges to create fountain effects in combination with the discharge circuit.

  The invention is described below in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the pool before filling the self-supporting pool according to the invention; Figure 2 is a perspective view of the pool after filling; Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the pool.

  The self-supporting pool according to the invention comprises a semi-rigid and watertight fabric structure, for example PVC (1) delimiting at least two nested open volumes (la) and (lb). Each of the volumes (la) and (lb) has a common bottom (1c) to form the seat of the entire structure. The volume (la) has a wall (1d) of determined height (h), while the volume (lb) has a wall (Ic) of determined height (hl).

  The upper edge delimited by the wall (1d) is subject to an inflatable bead (2). Similarly, the upper edge delimited by the wall (1c) is subject to an inflatable bead (3).

  Given these characteristics, the result is, after inflatable rolls (2) and (3) and after filling the entire structure with water, that is to say the two volumes (la) and (lb ), the formation of an external basin (B) and an internal basin (B1).

  Given the problem to be solved, the internal basin (Bl) is of height (h) greater than the height (hl) of the external basin (B).

  Advantageously, the two basins (B) and (B1) are concentric and have a circular geometric shape, without excluding other forms.

  According to another important characteristic of the invention, at the level of the external basin (B), the water is sucked by a pumping and filtration assembly (4) to be discharged into the internal basin, so that the water of said internal basin overflows into said external basin.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the external basin (B) has connection arrangements (5), the suction system of the pump assembly (6) and the filtration unit (7) for connection to arrangements ( 8) for the discharge of the filtered water in the internal basin (Bl). An overflow of water from the pond (31) to the small pond (B) which acts as a buffer tank is thus obtained, according to the principle of so-called overflow pools.

  The effect obtained is particularly attractive and decorative Also note that micro perforated ramps, not shown, can be arranged at the or the flange (s) (2) and / or (3) to create fountain effects in combination, for example , with the discharge circuit.

  The entire structure delimiting the two nested open volumes to form at least two basins of different heights, can be realized in all shapes and sizes.

  The advantages are clear from the description
