Description

Abri léger pour piscine ou similaireLightweight pool enclosure or similar
La présente invention concerne un abri léger, notamment pour la protection d'installations sportives telles gue piscines, aires de jeux ou similaires.The present invention relates to a light shelter, in particular for the protection of sports facilities such as swimming pools, play areas or the like.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement un abri comportant une couverture portée par une armature, cette armature étant constituée de demi-arceaux dont l'une des extrémités est solidarisable à une pièce de faîtage formant noeud d'assemblage et dont l'autre extrémité vient en appui au sol ou sur l'installation à abriter.It relates more particularly to a shelter comprising a cover carried by an armature, this armature consisting of half-hoops, one end of which can be secured to a ridge piece forming an assembly node and the other end of which bears on the ground or on the installation to be sheltered.
Un abri léger répondant à cette définition à d'ores et déjà été décrit dans les brevets FR-A-2.675.189, DE-716.245 et WO-93.23630. Ces abris n'ont pas connu le succès escompté en raison essentiellement de leurs difficultés de montage. Ainsi, dans le brevet DE-716.245, la liaison entre armature et pièce de faîtage est du type à baïonnette de telle sorte que le verrouillage de la liaison doit s'effectuer au sol. Il en est de même dans le brevet WO 93.23630 où le verrouillage partiel s'effectue par un bouton à ressort.A light shelter meeting this definition has already been described in patents FR-A-2,675,189, DE-716,245 and WO-93,23630. These shelters have not had the expected success mainly due to their assembly difficulties. Thus, in patent DE-716,245, the connection between frame and ridge piece is of the bayonet type so that the connection must be locked on the ground. It is the same in patent WO 93.23630 where the partial locking is effected by a spring button.
Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un abri léger démontable, peu coûteux, susceptible d'être utilisé pour le recouvrement d'aires de forme et de dimensions quelconques, cet abri étant aisé et rapide à monter et/ou à démonter.An object of the present invention is to provide a light removable shelter, inexpensive, capable of being used for covering areas of any shape and size, this shelter being easy and quick to assemble and / or dismantle.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un abri dont la liaison de certains organes entre eux peut être verrouillée par simple déplacement relatif des organes entre eux lors de 1 ' amenée en position dressée des demi arceaux de l'armature et à l'inverse déverrouillée même en l'absence d'accès au faîtage.Another object of the invention is to provide a shelter whose connection of certain members to one another can be locked by simple relative movement of the members to each other when the half hoops of the frame are brought into the upright position and to the reverse unlocked even in the absence of access to the ridge.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un abri léger, notamment pour la protection d'installations sportives telles que piscines, aires de jeux ou similaires, cet abri comportant une couverture portée par une armature, cette armature étant constituée de demi-arceaux dont 1 ' une des extrémités est solidarisable à une pièce de faîtage formant noeud d'assemblage et dont l'autre extrémité vient en appui au sol ou sur l'installation à abriter, au moins une partie de la pièce de faîtage et l'extrémité correspondante d'au moins certains des demi-arceaux étant solidarisées l'une à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'organes de liaison complémentaires dits mâle et femelle, caractérisé en ce que les organes de liaison sont constitués d'une part d'ouvertures profilées ménagées, de préférence, à la périphérie de la pièce de faîtage se présentant sous forme d'un corps creux, d'autre part d'un panneton d'une clé portée, de préférence, par l'extrémité du demi-arceau respectif se raccordant au faîtage, lesdits organes de liaison étant agencés de sorte que, après introduction du panneton dans l'ouverture correspondante et déplacement angulaire du panneton à l'intérieur de ladite ouverture, le panneton se trouve emprisonné à 1 ' intérieur de ladite ouverture.To this end, the invention relates to a light shelter, in particular for the protection of sports facilities such as swimming pools, play areas or the like, this shelter comprising a cover carried by a frame, this frame consisting of half-arches one of the ends of which can be secured to a ridge piece forming an assembly node and the other end of which bears on the ground or on the installation to be housed, at least part of the ridge piece and the end corresponding to at least some of the half-arches being secured to one another by means of complementary connecting members known as male and female, characterized in that the connecting members consist on the one hand of shaped openings, preferably at the periphery of the ridge piece in the form of a hollow body, on the other hand of a bit of a key carried, preferably by the end of the half-arcea respective u connecting to the ridge, said connecting members being arranged so that, after introduction of the bit in the corresponding opening and angular displacement of the bit inside said opening, the bit is trapped 1 inside said opening.
Grâce à cette conception du verrouillage des organes de liaison entre eux, le montage d'un tel abri devient extrêmement aisé et rapide. Il n'est plus nécessaire de rapporter des organes de verrouillage au niveau du faîtage de l'abri, comme cela pouvait être le cas dans l'état de la technique. Au contraire, le verrouillage s'effectue naturellement lors du dressage de l'armature sans travail ou effort supplémentaire de l'opérateur.Thanks to this design of locking the connecting members together, the mounting of such a shelter becomes extremely easy and rapid. It is no longer necessary to bring locking members at the ridge of the shelter, as could be the case in the prior art. On the contrary, the locking takes place naturally during the dressing of the frame without any work or additional effort from the operator.
Il est bien évident que les organes de liaison définis ci- dessus pourraient être inversés, une ouverture étant ménagée dans 1 ' extrémité du demi-arceau se raccordant au faîtage tandis que la pièce de faîtage porterait le panneton de clé. Le déplacement angulaire du panneton à l'intérieur de l'ouverture est donc un déplacement relatif.It is obvious that the connecting members defined above could be reversed, an opening being made in one end of the half-hoop connecting to the ridge while the ridge piece would carry the key bit. The angular displacement of the bit inside the opening is therefore a relative displacement.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
la figure 1 représente une vue d'ensemble d'un abri conforme à 1 ' invention ;Figure 1 shows an overview of a shelter according to one invention;
la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de la pièce de faîtage à l'état assemblé d'un des demi- arceaux ;FIG. 2 represents a perspective view of the ridge piece in the assembled state of one of the half-hoops;
la figure 3 représente une vue en coupe verticale de deux extrémités de demi-arceaux à 1 ' état assemblé avec la pièce de faîtage, une extrémité de demi-arceau (vue de gauche) étant uniquement en position introduite non verrouillée à l'intérieur de la pièce de faîtage, l'autre extrémité de demi-arceau (vue de droite) étant en position verrouillée dans la pièce de faîtage ;FIG. 3 represents a view in vertical section of two ends of half-hoops in the assembled state with the ridge piece, one end of half-hoop (view from the left) being only in the inserted, unlocked position inside the ridge piece, the other end of the half-arch (seen from the right) being in the locked position in the ridge piece;
la figure 4 représente une vue en perspective d'une extrémité de demi-arceau portant une clé etFIG. 4 represents a perspective view of an end of a half-hoop carrying a key and
la figure 5 représente une vue en élévation d'un demi- arceau avec représentation d'une vue de dessous de la platine . Conformément aux figures 1 à 5, l'abri 1 léger, objet de l'invention, comporte une armature 2 destinée à porter une couverture. Cette couverture, non représentée, est généralement formée d'une toile en un matériau transparent. L'armature 2 est quant à elle constituée de demi-arceaux 3 dont l'une des extrémités 3A est solidarisable à une pièce de faîtage 4 et dont l'autre extrémité 3B vient en appui au sol ou sur l'installation 5 à abriter.Figure 5 shows an elevational view of a half-arch with representation of a bottom view of the plate. In accordance with Figures 1 to 5, the light shelter 1, object of the invention, includes a frame 2 intended to carry a blanket. This cover, not shown, is generally formed of a canvas of a transparent material. The frame 2 is itself made up of half-hoops 3, one of the ends 3A of which can be secured to a ridge piece 4 and the other end of which 3B comes to bear on the ground or on the installation 5 to be housed.
Pour permettre un montage aisé et rapide de l'abri, 1 ' extrémité 3A de demi-arceaux doit être aisément solidarisable à la pièce de faîtage 4. Pour permettre une telle solidarisation rapide et aisée, au moins une partie de la pièce de faîtage 4 et l'extrémité 3A correspondante d'au moins certains des demi-arceaux 3 sont solidarisées l'une à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'organes de liaison 6, 7 complémentaires dits mâle et femelle. La liaison desdits organes 6, 7 entre eux est verrouillée par simple déplacement relatif desdits organes 6, 7 entre eux. Dans les exemples représentés, ce déplacement relatif est obtenu en particulier lors de l'amenée en position dressée des demi-arceaux 3 de l'armature 2. Une fois le verrouillage opéré, un déverrouillage est rendu impossible grâce à des moyens d'immobilisation de l'extrémité 3B d'appui au sol du demi-arceau verrouillé.To allow easy and rapid assembly of the shelter, one end 3A of half-arches must be easily secured to the ridge piece 4. To allow such fast and easy attachment, at least part of the ridge piece 4 and the corresponding end 3A of at least some of the half-hoops 3 are secured to one another by means of connecting members 6, 7 called male and female complementary. The connection of said members 6, 7 to each other is locked by simple relative movement of said members 6, 7 to each other. In the examples shown, this relative displacement is obtained in particular when the semi-arches 3 of the frame 2 are brought into the upright position. Once the locking has been effected, unlocking is made impossible by means of immobilization of the end 3B of the ground support of the locked half-arch.
Au regard de ce qui vient d'être dit ci-dessus, les organes de liaison, respectivement mâle et femelle, sont indifféremment portés l'un par l'extrémité 3A d'un demi- arceau 3, l'autre par la pièce de faîtage 4. Dans les exemples décrits ci-après, l'organe de liaison femelle 6 est porté par la pièce de faîtage 4 tandis que l'organe de liaison mâle est porté par le demi-arceau 3. Toutefois, l'inverse aurait pu être réalisé de la même manière. Ainsi, comme le montrent les figures 2 et 3, les organes de liaison femelles sont par exemple constitués d'ouvertures profilées 6 ménagées dans la pièce de faîtage 4. Cette pièce de faîtage 4 affecte dans ce cas la forme d'un corps creux annulaire, les ouvertures profilées 6 étant ménagées à la périphérie de cette pièce. Ces ouvertures profilées 6 sont des ouvertures traversantes débouchant à la périphérie interne de l'anneau.In view of what has just been said above, the connecting members, respectively male and female, are indifferently carried one by the end 3A of a half-arch 3, the other by the piece of ridge 4. In the examples described below, the female connecting member 6 is carried by the ridge piece 4 while the male connecting member is carried by the half-hoop 3. However, the reverse could have been be done in the same way. Thus, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the female connecting members are for example constituted by profiled openings 6 formed in the ridge piece 4. This ridge piece 4 in this case takes the form of an annular hollow body, the profiled openings 6 being formed at the periphery of this piece. These profiled openings 6 are through openings opening at the inner periphery of the ring.
L'organe de liaison mâle est quant à lui constitué d'un panneton 7 d'une clé 8 portée par l'extrémité 3A d'un demi- arceau 3 se raccordant au faîtage 4. Ainsi, le demi-arceau 3 constitue la partie préhension de cette clé 8, tandis que la tige qui porte le panneton 7 s'étend au-delà de l'extrémité 3A de ce demi-arceau 3. Une fois ce panneton 7 introduit dans l'ouverture 6 correspondante de la pièce 4, conformément à la partie de gauche de la figure 3, ce panneton 7 est déplacé angulaire ent, à l'intérieur du corps de la pièce de faîtage 4, d'une valeur angulaire correspondant sensiblement à un quart de tour dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 3 pour occuper, à l'intérieur du corps de la pièce de faîtage 4, la position représentée dans la vue de droite à la figure 3. Dans cette position, le panneton 7 se trouve emprisonné dans le corps de la pièce de faîtage 4. Cette immobilisation est omnidirectionnelle du fait de la conformation des ouvertures 6 profilées. On constate dans cet exemple de réalisation particulier que l'embouchure ou le débouché de l'ouverture 6 à la périphérie interne de la pièce de faîtage 4 coopère avec l'extrémité distale de la tige de clé pour assurer une immobilisation axiale de la clé 8 à l'intérieur dudit orifice 6. Cette extrémité distale de la clé 8 est représentée en 9 aux figures et coopère avec le débouché des orifices 6 de la pièce de faîtage 4 représenté en 10 aux figures. Ceci est plus particulièrement visible sur les figures 2 à 4. On constate également que la tige de clé 8 comporte, à la base du panneton, une portion cylindrique de forme complémentaire de celle de l'ouverture 6 pour faciliter à nouveau le déplacement gardé de la clé 8 à l'intérieur de l'ouverture 6. Pour faciliter un tel verrouillage, les ouvertures profilées 6 de la pièce de faîtage 4 s'étendent de préférence dans un plan, horizontal en position de montage, comme le montre la figure 2, pour permettre l'introduction du panneton 7 dans un même plan horizontal. Le verrouillage du panneton 7 dans la pièce de faîtage 4 s'effectue par déplacement du panneton 7 d'une position horizontale à une position verticale (figure 3). Ce déplacement peut être obtenu par action sur le demi-arceau 3 portant le panneton 7 lors de l'amenée de ce demi-arceau 3 en position dressée ou verticale. Généralement, au début du montage, deux ou trois demi-arceaux sont introduits dans des ouvertures profilées 6 de la pièce de faîtage puis sont amenés simultanément en position dressée, position dans laquelle ils sont verrouillés à ladite pièce de faîtage 4. Le reste des demi-arceaux 3 peut alors être assemblé à la pièce de faîtage 4.The male connection member consists of a bit 7 of a key 8 carried by the end 3A of a half-hoop 3 connecting to the ridge 4. Thus, the half-hoop 3 constitutes the part gripping of this key 8, while the rod which carries the bit 7 extends beyond the end 3A of this half-arch 3. Once this bit 7 is introduced into the corresponding opening 6 of the part 4, in accordance with the left-hand part of FIG. 3, this bit 7 is angularly displaced ent, inside the body of the ridge piece 4, by an angular value corresponding substantially to a quarter turn in the example shown in Figure 3 to occupy, inside the body of the ridge piece 4, the position shown in the right view in Figure 3. In this position, the bit 7 is trapped in the body of the ridge piece 4. This immobilization is omnidirectional due to the conformation of the openings 6 p rofiles. It can be seen in this particular embodiment that the mouth or the opening of the opening 6 at the internal periphery of the ridge piece 4 cooperates with the distal end of the key rod to ensure axial immobilization of the key 8 inside said orifice 6. This distal end of the key 8 is shown in 9 in the figures and cooperates with the outlet of the orifices 6 in the ridge piece 4 shown in 10 in the figures. This is more particularly visible in FIGS. 2 to 4. It can also be seen that the key rod 8 comprises, at the base of the bit, a cylindrical portion of shape complementary to that of the opening 6 to again facilitate the guarded movement of the key 8 inside the opening 6. To facilitate such locking, the profiled openings 6 of the ridge piece 4 preferably extend in a plane, horizontal in the mounting position, as shown in FIG. 2, to allow the insertion of the bit 7 in the same plane horizontal. The bit 7 is locked in the ridge piece 4 by moving the bit 7 from a horizontal position to a vertical position (FIG. 3). This displacement can be obtained by action on the half-hoop 3 carrying the bit 7 when bringing this half-hoop 3 in the upright or vertical position. Generally, at the start of assembly, two or three half-arches are introduced into profiled openings 6 of the ridge piece and are then brought simultaneously into the upright position, position in which they are locked to said ridge piece 4. The rest of the half -poles 3 can then be assembled to the ridge piece 4.
Il est bien évident que la forme de réalisation de la pièce de faîtage 4 représentée à la figure 2 ne constitue qu'un exemple de réalisation de cette pièce de faîtage 4. Cette pièce de faîtage, qui comportera généralement au moins une portion courbe, peut affecter un grand nombre de formes. Cette pièce de faîtage 4 peut encore être constituée de deux couronnes reliées entre elles par une entretoise qui reçoit également des demi-arceaux 3.It is quite obvious that the embodiment of the ridge piece 4 shown in FIG. 2 constitutes only one example of an embodiment of this ridge piece 4. This ridge piece, which will generally comprise at least one curved portion, can affect a lot of shapes. This ridge piece 4 can also consist of two rings connected to each other by a spacer which also receives half-arches 3.
Chaque demi-arceau 3 est quant à lui réalisé de préférence en métal ou en matière synthétique armée. Ce demi-arceau 3 peut être constitué d'éléments 3C sectionnés, de préférence des sections 3C droites. Ces sections 3C droites sont raccordées entre elles par des pièces de liaison d'angle 3D s ' engageant par des embouts 3E aux extrémités desdits éléments 3C sectionnés. Cette réalisation est représentée à la figure 5. La solidarisation entre section droite 3C et pièce de liaison d'angle 3D s'effectue soit par sertissage, comme le montrent les points de sertissage 11 représentés à la figure 5, soit par simple emmanchement par emboîtement comme cela est indiqué par la flèche sur l'un des emboutsEach half-hoop 3 is preferably made of metal or reinforced synthetic material. This half-arch 3 can be made up of sectioned elements 3C, preferably straight sections 3C. These straight sections 3C are connected to each other by 3D corner connecting pieces engaging by end pieces 3E at the ends of said sectioned elements 3C. This embodiment is shown in Figure 5. The connection between cross section 3C and 3D corner connection piece is carried out either by crimping, as shown by the crimping points 11 shown in Figure 5, or by simple fitting by fitting as indicated by the arrow on one of the end caps

L'extrémité 3B d'appui au sol de ce demi-arceau 3 est quant à elle constituée d'une platine 3F prolongée d'un embout 3G de réception d'une section droite 3C de demi-arceau 3. A nouveau, la liaison entre embout 3G de réception et section droite 3C est une liaison obtenue par sertissage.3E shown. The key 8 equipped with the bit 7 is likewise provided with a ferrule crimped inside a cross section 3C of said half-arch after introduction through the end 3A of this half-arch. The end 3B of support on the ground of this half-hoop 3 is itself made up of a plate 3F extended by a 3G tip for receiving a straight section 3C of half-hoop 3. Again, the connection between 3G reception end piece and straight section 3C is a connection obtained by crimping.
La platine 3F présente quant à elle des encoches 3H pour le passage d'éléments de fixation, tels que vis ou similaire. Ces encoches 3H sont représentées à la figure 5. Ainsi, au cours du passage d'un demi-arceau 3 d'une position en appui au sol à une position dressée, l'une des demi-encoches 3H de la platine 3F est amenée en prise avec un organe de fixation, tel qu'une vis préalablement fixée, sur la structure 5 à équiper ou sur la zone d'appui au sol de l'extrémité 3B du demi-arceau en train d'être déplacé. Lorsque la platine 3F est en prise, par l'intermédiaire d'au moins l'une de ces encoches 3H, avec l'organe de fixation, le panneton 7, porté par l'extrémité 3A opposée de ce demi-arceau 3, est en position verrouillée à l'intérieur de la pièce de faîtage 4. Il devient alors aisé de fixer un second organe de fixation coopérant avec une second encoche 3H de la platine 3F. Le demi-arceau 3 est alors parfaitement immobilisé en position dressée de telle sorte que tout risque de déverrouillage de la liaison entre l'extrémité 3A du demi-arceau et la pièce de faîtage 4 est empêché. L'opération est répétée autant de fois que nécessaire. Une fois l'armature 2 entièrement montée, la couverture est disposée sur ladite armature 2. Pour ce faire, la platine 3F et la pièce de liaison d'angle 3D servant au raccordement de sections droites 3C comportent à chaque fois, sur leur face externe, au droit du chant des embouts 3E, 3G, des plots 31 d'ancrage pour l'arrimage et la mise sous tension de la couverture de l'armature 2. L'abri ainsi obtenu présente une excellente stabilité et une résistance verticale accrue. La toile ainsi solidarisée à l'armature participe à la tenue de l'armature.As for the plate 3F, it has notches 3H for the passage of fastening elements, such as screws or the like. These 3H notches are shown in FIG. 5. Thus, during the passage of a half-hoop 3 from a position resting on the ground to an upright position, one of the half-notches 3H of the plate 3F is brought engaged with a fixing member, such as a previously fixed screw, on the structure 5 to be fitted or on the ground support zone of the end 3B of the half-hoop being moved. When the plate 3F is engaged, by means of at least one of these notches 3H, with the fixing member, the bit 7, carried by the opposite end 3A of this half-arch 3, is in the locked position inside the ridge piece 4. It then becomes easy to fix a second fixing member cooperating with a second notch 3H of the plate 3F. The half-arch 3 is then perfectly immobilized in the upright position so that any risk of unlocking the connection between the end 3A of the half-arch and the ridge piece 4 is prevented. The operation is repeated as many times as necessary. Once the armature 2 is fully assembled, the cover is placed on said armature 2. To do this, the plate 3F and the 3D corner connecting piece used for connecting straight sections 3C each have, on their external face , at the edge of the edges of the end pieces 3E, 3G, of the anchoring studs 31 for securing and tensioning the cover of the frame 2. The shelter thus obtained has excellent stability and increased vertical resistance. The canvas thus secured to the frame participates in the holding of the frame.
Le montage d'un tel abri est extrêmement facilité. Chaque demi-arceau peut être ainsi installé en introduisant dans la pièce de faîtage 4 son extrémité 3A, en tournant d'un quart de tour et en fixant l'extrémité 3B d'appui au sol de ce demi-arceau 3 avec de simples vis. Une fois la couverture positionnée, c'est-à-dire les oeillets de la couverture positionnés dans les ergots des coudes d'arceau, un élément élastique, tel qu'un tendeur positionné dans les oeillets de la toile du bas de la couverture, permet de rabattre la toile en faisant passer ce tendeur sous la margelle de la piscine. La piscine est alors parfaitement protégée. The assembly of such a shelter is extremely easy. Each half-hoop can thus be installed by introducing into the ridge piece 4 its end 3A, by turning a quarter of a turn and by fixing the end 3B of support to the ground of this half-hoop 3 with simple screws. . Once the cover is positioned, that is to say the cover eyelets positioned in the lugs of the hoop elbows, an elastic element, such as a tensioner positioned in the eyelets of the fabric at the bottom of the cover, allows the canvas to be folded down by passing this tensioner under the edge of the pool. The pool is then perfectly protected.
