Definitions

  • the invention protected in this Utility Model consists in a safety ledge made up of two parts: a rigid base based on cement extrusion, or on ceramic, metal or plastic material, and an elastic cover affixed to said base in order to encircle the perimeter of swimming pools and water and recreation areas, and to minimise, thanks to it, the risk of accidents and contusions due to impacts.
  • this invention has been designed with the aim to minimising and reducing the risk of accidental falls, of bruises against the ledges while nearing, entering or exiting such swimming pools, ponds or reservoirs, and at the end of the day with the aim of providing a measure of protection and safety to such environments of water containment.
  • the elastic cover features an overlay on one of its sides, over the section that is being used to contain the water, while presenting on its lower part a few longitudinal projections (whose aim is to act as a system of fitting mechanism onto the rigid base).
  • this cover can contain substances that intensify its identification and localisation, as well as safety features (colouring, waterproof additives, adherent additives, fungicides, weed-repellents, etc. . . . ).
  • the principal function of this invention is to offer a medium of prevention and safety against accidents, and in particular a measure of protection against bruises or impacts in the event of an accident.
  • a number of other complementary benefits also exist in addition to this advantage.
  • this contribution also facilitates a medium of prevention and safety for risks of work accidents, as well as compliance with the Spanish technical standard relating to the standardisation of swimming pools, and in particular with regard to sports equipment and aquatic attractions (UNE-EN standard 13451-2001, 2004) that have specific safety requirements.
  • cover can present benefits in terms of information or advertising since it can easily be replaced for aesthetic reasons, or in order to be used as advertising or signage platform.
