Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of shelters for pleasure pools adopting the form of a rotunda and in particular to adaptations for producing the rotating-movement roof elements to the best standard.
  • these shelters comprise rotating roof elements each forming an angular portion of the shelter and rotating about the same vertical axis.
  • roof elements comprise a circular lower edge resting on the ground, a cylindrical panel, and profiles starting from the top edge of the panel and joining it in order to form an angular roof portion, the connecting ends of said roof elements being mounted so as to rotate about the same vertical axis.
  • the rotating roof elements participating in this rotunda are cantilevered and have a base bearing on the ground or on the area surrounding the pool and a top end in pivot connection about a vertical axis common to a plurality of rotating roof elements.
  • This vertical axis constitutes a second support point offset with respect to the first and must therefore be sized for this purpose without impairing the aesthetic appearance.
  • Another solution consists of proposing a fixed internal structure for supporting said roof elements.
  • each angular rotating roof element comprising a frame enclosing a cylindrical fill-in panel, the frame comprising a circular bottom edge resting on the ground, a top edge from which at least two profiles project towards the rotation axis, which join in order to form, with said top edge, a frame for an angular portion of the fill-in panel forming the roof, said roof elements being mounted so as to rotate about the same vertical axis.
  • This shelter is remarkable in that each frame enclosing a cylindrical fill-in panel is equipped with a profile curved along the rotation axis of the element and placed in its internal part between the bottom edge and the top edge of a hand
  • this handrail profile affords numerous advantages in addition to a support for the user and better manoeuvrability of the roof element.
  • the shelter of the invention avoids a technological solution consisting of oversizing the frames or thicknesses of the panels, which would increase costs and reduce manoeuvrability.
  • This shelter can adopt the form of a complete rotunda arranged for example above a spa or a semi-rotunda arranged at the end of a high shelter.
  • this shelter comprises a vertical shaft on which said rotating roof elements arranged below pivot.
  • this shaft is supported by a different element.
  • the shelter adopts the form of a complete rotunda, it comprises an external arch 300 forming a portico and supporting said vertical shaft at its middle part.
  • an additional external support structure is particularly advantageous in that it avoids the use of an internal supporting skeleton. In addition, it avoids the oversizing and fixing of one or more roof elements in order to fulfill this function. In addition, by avoiding making one of the roof elements fixed for support purposes, it guarantees complete angular mobility of the set of roof elements, allowing non-limitative positioning of the retracted assembly.
  • said portico has an assembly of three uprights and three half-beams placed at 120 degrees.
  • the top part of the rotating roof elements repeats the slope or curve of said portico.
  • the shelter adopts an extendable configuration in which the roof elements adopt a decreasing size to enable retraction thereof inside only one.
  • the angular roof elements are composed of:
  • a first vertical part consisting of a cylindrical portion with a vertical axis represented by the shaft
  • a second substantially flat part with a triangular shape repeating any slope on the portico and providing a connection between the top edge of the cylindrical portion and the shaft.
  • the top end of said vertical shaft is fixed to an arch belonging to the frame of a non-rotating roof element with a size greater than the largest of the rotating roof elements.
  • the top ends of said angular roof elements are equipped with a connecting part equipped with at least one collar preformed vertically with an orifice.
  • said sleeve has a thickness less than or equal to one half of the connecting part so that turning over the connecting part allows by symmetry the pivot connection on the same shaft of an angular roof element of identical dimensions.
  • This feature makes it possible to use identical roof elements and thus reduces the cost of a rotunda.
  • it makes it possible to use the same connecting parts for different roof elements.
  • Such a feature is particularly suited to two identical roof elements arranged opposite each other.
  • the following pair of roof elements has smaller dimensions but can have identical connecting parts fitted according to the same principle at a lower height along said shaft and so on.
  • said shelter is also remarkable in that it comprises two types of connecting part having sleeves disposed symmetrically on either side of the symmetry plane of the top part of the roof elements and used on the side towards which said element retracts.
  • the connecting part is equipped with two sleeves angularly offset on the same radius and offset in height so that, depending on the sleeve chosen, the height with which the roof element is associated with said shaft differs, thus allowing the pivoting of roof elements of identical sizes.
  • Said angular offset increases the possibilities of angular movement of a roof element with respect to its opposite one placed symmetrically.
  • the top part of the roof elements comprises two ends of two profiles the connection of which is provided by said connecting part.
  • Said connecting part thus has several functions and reduces the number of parts necessary.
  • the fill-in panels framed by the profiles forming the frameworks of the roof elements can be produced from a plurality of materials, such as for example:
  • each frame of angular rotating roof elements comprises two uprights to which the ends of said curved profile are fixed, the latter being fixed in the thickness of said uprights so that it does not form, with respect to the latter, an inward projection opposite said uprights,
  • said curved profile is equipped, on the external periphery thereof, with fixing blocks fulfilling the function of points for supporting and fixing the fill-in panels,
  • the top adjoining the profiles enclosing the triangular roof panel is offset with respect to the rotation axis of said rotating roof element.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of a perspective view of an embodiment of a shelter for a pleasure pool of the spa type according to the invention in the closed position,
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of a perspective view of the shelter of FIG. 1 in the open position

  • FIG. 11 illustrates the embodiment in FIG. 10 in the open position
  • FIG. 12 is a schematic drawing of a plan view of an embodiment of the connection between the profiles forming the triangular roof portion of the roof module.
  • the shelter referenced A is of the type opening and closing above a pleasure pool such as a spa, not illustrated.
  • This shelter A is broken down into a plurality of roof elements 100 resting on the ground S (or on an area surrounding the pool) and the top part of which is in abutment on and pivots on a shaft 200 supported by an external upper superstructure composed of a tripod 300 independent of the roof elements 100 and connected to the latter solely by means of the central shaft 200 .
  • Said portico has a set of three uprights 310 and three half-beams 320 arranged at 120 degrees.
  • the roof elements 100 move in the internal space delimited by this external structure 300 .
  • Said angular roof elements 100 are composed of:
  • a first vertical part 110 consisting of a cylindrical portion with a vertical axis represented by the shaft 200 ,
  • a second substantially flat part with a triangular shape 120 repeating any slope on the gantry 300 and providing the connection between the top edge of the cylindrical portion and the shaft 200 .
  • Each part is framed by a set of profiles 130 supporting fill-in panels P.
  • each frame framing a cylindrical fill-in panel is equipped with a profile C curved on the rotation axis of the element and which, placed in the internal part between the bottom edge and the top edge, forms a handrail.
  • the various roof elements are sized angularly so that the edge thereof coincides in one case out of two with the plane in which an upright 310 and the beam 320 associated therewith of the portico 300 fit.
  • the angular roof elements 100 are six (6) in number and are sized so as to correspond to substantially 60 degrees of the angular portion of the 360 degrees of the complete shelter.
  • the largest roof element 100 comprises a third part 140 forming a façade consisting of transverse panels sized so as to provide the closure of the volume of the shelter A despite the reduced size of the smallest roof element joining said façade in the closed position.
  • the shelter (or the shelter portion) referenced A′ as a whole is composed of a plurality of top roof elements referenced E′ and adopts, at one end, a semi-rotunda form R′.
  • the shelter A′ is formed from rectilinear roof elements E 1 ′ able to move in the direction of the double arrow F 1 ′ in translation above its pool and roof elements E 2 ′ forming angular portions of the semi-rotunda R′ and able to move in the direction of the double arrow F 2 ′ in rotation about the same axis represented by the shaft 100 ′.
  • the rectilinear roof elements E 1 ′ are composed of a framework formed from two skeleton elements 200 ′ braced by crossmembers 300 ′, a framework serving to frame and support one or more fill-in panels P′. More precisely, the skeleton elements 200 ′ are formed by two uprights 210 ′ supporting two beams 220 ′ assembled at the symmetry plane of the shelter, forming an angle to constitute a ridge of the roof of the shelter A′.
  • Said fill-in panels P′ may be produced from a plurality of materials, such as for example:
  • the external skeleton element 200 ′ situated at one end of the shelter A′ provides, by means of its beams 220 ′, the support for a shaft 100 ′ above which the angular roof elements E 2 ′ constituting the rotunda R′ will pivot in order to pass from the position illustrated by the drawing in FIG. 3 to the position illustrated by the drawing in FIG. 4 .
  • each frame framing a cylindrical fill-in panel is equipped with a profile C′ curved along the rotation axis of the element and which, arranged in the internal part between the bottom edge and the top edge, forms a handrail.
  • the angular elements retract completely inside the rectilinear roof element to which they are connected, thus affording complete access to the inside of the shelter A′.
  • said rotunda R′ comprises five (5) rotating angular roof elements E 2 ′ with four elements identical in pairs and a single fifth one smaller in height than those of the smallest pair.
  • the roof elements are identical and are placed symmetrically with respect to each other without preventing retraction.
  • angular elements E 2 ′ are, according to the embodiment illustrated, composed of:
  • a first vertical part 410 ′ consisting of a cylindrical portion with a vertical axis represented by the shaft 100 ′,
  • a second substantially flat part with a triangular shape 420 ′ repeating the slope of the roof formed by the shelter and providing the connection between the top edge of the cylindrical portion 410 ′ and the shaft 100 ′.
  • the second part 420 ′ is therefore composed of a circular rim adopting the circular form of the rotunda and two profiles 421 ′ and 422 ′ connected at a first end to the top rim of the cylindrical portion and joining at an end that will come to be connected with the shaft 100 ′.
  • connection between the two profiles 421 ′ and 422 ′ bordering the top part of the roof element E 2 ′ and forming the triangular part and the connection between this top part and the shaft 100 ′ are produced by means of a connecting part.
  • this connecting part is identical for each angular roof element E 2 ′.
  • two types of connecting parts 500 a ′ and 500 b ′ each has a sleeve placed, according to the connecting part, symmetrically on either side of the symmetry plane of the top part of the roof elements and used according to the side towards which said element retracts.
  • the connecting part 500 a ′ comprises a body 510 a ′ from where project, at the angle of the triangle forming the top part of the roof element E 2 ′, two profiles 520 a ′ and 530 a ′ able to fit in the joining hollow ends of the profiles 421 ′ and 422 ′.
  • This body 510 a ′ is also preformed from a sleeve 540 a ′ bored with an orifice 541 a′.
  • these collars have the same thickness and their bore is the same diameter, enabling them to offer a sliding pivot connection with the shaft 100 ′, as illustrated on the drawing in FIG. 5 .
  • each connecting part is preformed so as to have cooperating complementary shapes once the connecting parts of two roof elements of identical dimensions are positioned on the shaft 100 ′ and allowing the greatest possible angular mobility.
  • each connecting part is preformed with the counter-shape of the collar of the connecting part of the facing roof element.
  • the shaft 100 ′ is associated, by means of a bearing 110 ′, with the beam 220 ′ and comprises, on its bottom end, a removable axial stop 120 ′.
  • the top end of said vertical shaft 100 ′ is fixed to an arch 220 with a size greater than the largest of the rotating roof elements forming the rotunda R′.
  • axial support rings 130 ′ are fixed to the shaft 100 ′, being interposed between the collars 550 ′ or 540 ′ of the connecting parts 500 ′.
  • said rings are associated with nylon braces.
  • said curved profile C is equipped, on the external periphery thereof, with fixing blocks fulfilling the function of points supporting and fixing the fill-in panels 410 .
  • each frame comprises two uprights to which the ends of said curved profile C are fixed, the latter being fixed in the thickness of said uprights.
  • the width of the handrail C is integrated in the thickness or in the width defined by the profile of the uprights.
  • the embodiment of the shelter A′′ illustrated by the drawings in FIGS. 10 and 11 offers a configuration in four roof modules 100 ′′, 200 ′′, 300 ′′ and 400 ′′ rotating with respect to the portico. As illustrated, these roof modules are fully moveable because of their adjusted size and their extendable configuration. A seal of the brush type provides the closure of the space left free between the modules. The roof elements can then turn without any obstacle in both directions.
  • the four roof modules have in pairs the same roof angle.
  • the roof module 100 ′′ has the same angle as the module 300 ′′.
  • the angle of the module 200 ′′ is identical to that proposed by the module 400 ′′.
  • the angle formed by the roof of the modules 100 ′′ and 300 ′′ corresponds substantially to twice that of the roof of the modules 200 ′′ and 400 ′′.
  • This angular distribution allows the open configuration illustrated by the drawing in FIG. 11 , where the two modules 200 ′′ and 400 ′′ fit in the angle formed by the two modules 100 ′′ and 300 ′′ placed one above the other.
