Description

"SOBREPISO PARA PROTEÇÃO DE PISCINA COM DISPOSITIVO PARA AJUSTE DE FLUTUAÇÃO"  "POOL PROTECTION SURFACE WITH FLOATING ADJUSTMENT DEVICE"
Trata a presente solicitação de Patente de invenção de um inédito "SOBREPISO PARA PROTEÇÃO DE PISCINA COM DISPOSITIVO PARA AJUSTE DE FLUTUAÇÃO" notadamente de um sobrepiso construído em concreto e isopor numa proporção que o deixa com a densidade muito próxima a da água cuja flutuabilidade se dá graças a um dispositivo tubular, que quando preenchido com água o mantém no fundo e quando vazio eleva o sobrepiso, que passa a ter função de proteção física e térmica da lâmina d'água posicionando-o no nível da borda. This patent application deals with an unprecedented "FLOATING FLOOR POOL PROTECTION SURFACE" notably a concrete and Styrofoam overlay in a proportion that leaves it very close to that of water whose buoyancy occurs. thanks to a tubular device, which when filled with water keeps it at the bottom and when empty raises the overlap, which now has the physical and thermal protection function of the water slide positioning it at the edge level.
A proteção de piscinas é utilizada para inúmeros propósitos, sendo o principal formar uma barreira para que crianças, animais, insetos, idosos ou mesmo adultos mais desavisados venham a cair na água. Outra funcionalidade de ditas proteções é evitar a contaminação da água com sujidades ambientais (folhas, terra/ areia). Por fim, a proteção também serve como isolante térmico no sentido de manter a temperatura da água numa faixa agradável quando do desligamento do aquecedor em piscinas, bem como evitar que a incidência dos raios solares acelere a evaporação de elementos de conservação como, por exemplo, o cloro.  Pool protection is used for a number of purposes, the main one being to form a barrier for children, animals, insects, the elderly or even the most unsuspecting adults to fall into the water. Another feature of such protections is to prevent contamination of water with environmental dirt (leaves, soil / sand). Finally, the protection also serves as a thermal insulator in order to keep the water temperature in a pleasant range when the heater is turned off in swimming pools, as well as to prevent the sun's rays from accelerating the evaporation of conservation elements such as the chlorine.
Corroborando e resumindo as afirmações acima, a proteção além da segurança resulta em outras benesses, com destaque para a economia na manutenção da piscina, a compensação da diminuição da temperatura no período da noite, em que a proteção reduz a perda de calor fazendo com que se aumente o período que se pode utilizar a piscina e diminuindo o gasto com o aquecimento.  Corroborating and summarizing the above statements, protection beyond safety results in other benefits, notably savings in pool maintenance, compensation for nighttime temperature decrease, where protection reduces heat loss causing increase the period that you can use the pool and reducing the expense with heating.
São conhecidos diversos tipos de cobertura para piscinas que atendem a diferentes necessidades. As coberturas de inverno, solares e segurança são semelhantes diferenciando-se somente nos objetivos indicados no próprio nome, pois a cobertura de inverno é feita de material com maior durabilidade, pois será usado em um maior período de tempo, já as solares são mais finas assim deixando que os raios solares penetrem e aqueçam a água e não deixando que a água evapore, a cobertura de segurança é feita em material mais resistente e de menor flexibilidade. Outra forma de cobertura utilizada e muito diferente das já citadas acima é a cobertura telescópica, feita em painéis moveis faz com que a piscina possa ser utilizada durante todo o ano. Several types of pool cover are known that meet different needs. The winter, solar and safety covers are similar, differing only in the objectives indicated in the name, because the winter cover is made of material with greater durability, since it will be used in a longer period of time, the solar ones are thinner. So by letting the sun's rays penetrate and heat the water and not letting the water evaporate, the safety cover is made of stronger and less flexible material. Another form of coverage used and very different from those already mentioned Above is the telescopic cover made of movable panels so that the pool can be used all year round.
O atual estado da técnica antecipa o documento de patente MU 8500133-3 "Cobertor de Piscina Tipo Esteira Flutuante" o qual consiste em esteiras confortáveis com resistência física, química e flutuante, capazes de serem aplicadas em duas ou mais situações sem pertencerem ao grupo de peças inconvenientes na área de utilização, com propósito de recobrir a piscina durante os horários ociosos numa operação fácil e rápida.  The current state of the art anticipates patent document MU 8500133-3 "Floating Track Type Pool Blanket" which consists of comfortable mats with physical, chemical and floating resistance, capable of being applied in two or more situations without belonging to the control group. inconvenient parts in the area of use, with the purpose of covering the pool during idle hours in a quick and easy operation.
O documento de patente citado como estado da técnica resolve em partes os problemas relacionados à cobertura de piscina, mas visando uma das suas principais utilizações que é para segurança contra quedas, não tem nenhum efeito pelo fato de ser uma esteira flutuante, sem nenhum tipo de estrutura que suporte carga exercida sobre a mesma, sendo que se no caso uma criança venha a pisar em dita esteira a mesma afundara de imediato.  The patent document cited as state of the art solves pool cover problems in part, but for one of its main uses is for fall safety, it has no effect because it is a floating mat with no type of structure that supports the load exerted on it, and if in this case a child will step on this mat, it will sink immediately.
O PI 0002225-0 "Cobertura Modular para Piscinas e Correlatos". Formada por no mínimo dois módulos não planos, em perfis longitudinais e transversais, leves, resistentes e com proteção anticorrosiva sobre os quais são apoiados e fixados os elementos de cobertura com características de elevada resistência à ação do tempo e a impactos; elevada transparência; efeito de isolamento térmico e leveza. Cada módulo é apoiado direta e/ou indiretamente junto às bordas laterais da piscina, cobrindo-a totalmente e possuindo um sistema de fixação que permite o deslizamento dos ditos módulos, sobrepondo-se uns aos outros.  PI 0002225-0 "Modular Coverage for Pools and Related". Consisting of at least two non-flat modules, in lightweight, resistant and corrosion-resistant longitudinal and transverse profiles on which the cover elements with high weather and impact resistance characteristics are supported and fixed; high transparency; Thermal insulation effect and lightness. Each module is supported directly and / or indirectly near the side edges of the pool, fully covering it and having a fastening system that allows the sliding of said modules, overlapping each other.
Apesar de ter a função de proteção física e térmica, a construtividade desse produto ocupa área externa, contígua à borda, para sua fixação o que gera uma interferência na passagem das pessoas que podem tropeçar ou mesmo cair.  Despite having the function of physical and thermal protection, the constructivity of this product occupies an external area, contiguous to the edge, for its fixation that generates interference in the passage of people who may trip or even fall.
Ciente do estado da técnica, suas lacunas e limitantes, o inventor, pessoa afeita à matéria em tela, após estudos e pesquisas, criou o "SOBREPISO PARA PROTEÇÃO DE PISCINA COM DISPOSITIVO PARA AJUSTE DE FLUTUAÇÃO" em questão, trata de um sobrepiso que trabalha paralelo ao fundo da piscina numa área pouco menor que esta, sendo que quando fora de uso se eleva até o nível da borda por meio do esvaziamento de um reservatório tubular, que quando preenchido com a água da própria piscina faz o caminho inverso até ficar paralelo ao fundo, uma vez que dito sobrepiso é construído com concreto e isopor numa proporção tal que sua massa específica fique bem próxima à da água, de forma que apenas com o deslocamento do volume d'água contido no dispositivo é possível promover a sua flutuabilidade, conformando um meio, quando elevado, de evitar a contaminação da água com sujidades diversas, servindo também como isolante térmico, além de possibilitar o trânsito de pessoas sobre o mesmo. Aware of the state of the art, its shortcomings and limitations, the inventor, a person fond of the subject matter after studies and research, has created the "FLOATING FITTING POOL SURFACE" in question, it is a working overlay parallel to the bottom of the pool in an area slightly smaller than this, and when not in use it rises to the edge level by emptying a tubular reservoir, which when filled with water from the pool itself makes the reverse path until parallel in the background, since said overlay is constructed with concrete and Styrofoam in such a proportion that its specific mass is very close to that of water, so that only by displacing the volume of water contained in the device is it possible to promote its buoyancy, providing a means, when high, to prevent contamination of water with various dirt, serving also as a thermal insulator, in addition to allowing the transit of people on it.
Nesse sentido, a invenção tem como propósito principal a proteção da piscina quando a mesma não se encontra em uso, evitando o acúmulo de sujeira, a visita indesejada de animais domésticos, pássaros, insetos, mantendo por mais tempo as propriedades químicas da água, propiciando economia na manutenção, no aquecimento devido ao excelente coeficiente de isolação térmica decorrente do isopor empregado em sua fabricação. Sobre o quesito segurança o sobrepiso se mostra rígido/ resistente, proporcionando tranquilidade em locais com potencial risco de acidentes como, por exemplo, residências com crianças.  In this sense, the invention has as its main purpose the protection of the pool when it is not in use, avoiding the accumulation of dirt, the unwanted visitation of domestic animals, birds, insects, maintaining the chemical properties of water for a longer time, providing savings on maintenance and heating due to the excellent coefficient of thermal insulation resulting from the styrofoam used in its manufacture. Regarding safety, the overlay is rigid / resistant, providing peace of mind in places with potential risk of accidents, such as homes with children.
Construtivamente, o sobrepiso é executado isoladamente no fundo da piscina, tal como lajes pré-moldadas, com a diferença que o mesmo é fabricado com maior parte em isopor, para que o conjunto fique com sua massa especifica bem próxima a da água. A piscina devera ser construída mais funda, a fim de compensar a altura do sobrepiso, para que quando a piscina estiver em uso o sobrepiso (no fundo) não reduza a altura útil da piscina propriamente. Por sua vez, as bordas do sobrepiso apresentam uma projeção que evita que água sobre mesmo esvaia para dentro da piscina, sendo a água da chuva drenada através de um ralo, localizado acima do sobrepiso, que a direciona para o esgoto quando da abertura de um registro. Dito ralo também tem a função de ponto para ligação da mangueira de aspiração quando do sobrepiso no fundo, para esvaziamento do reservatório quando da necessidade de elevação do mesmo. O abaixamento é efetivado pela ligação da mangueira ao ponto externo da tubulação de retorno.  Constructively, the overlay is made in isolation at the bottom of the pool, like precast slabs, with the difference that it is made mostly of Styrofoam, so that the set has its specific mass very close to that of water. The pool should be built deeper to compensate for the height of the overhang so that when the pool is in use the overhang (at the bottom) does not reduce the useful height of the pool itself. In turn, the edges of the overhang feature a projection that prevents water over the same from leaking into the pool, and rainwater drains through a drain, located above the overhang, that directs it to the sewage when opening a record. This drain also has the point function for connecting the suction hose when overlapping the bottom, for emptying the reservoir when it needs to be raised. Lowering is effected by connecting the hose to the external point of the return pipe.
Em suma o sobrepiso aqui pleiteado traz como vantagens mais preponderantes:  In short, the overlay claimed here has the most important advantages:
> Segurança;  > Security;
> Diminuição da limpeza;  > Decreased cleanliness;
> Praticidade;  > Practicality;

O "SOBREPISO PARA PROTEÇÃO DE PISCINA COM DISPOSITIVO PARA AJUSTE DE FLUTUAÇÃO" se refere a um sobrepiso (1) rígido para proteção física e térmica de piscina (2), executado isoladamente no fundo já pronto, como uma laje estruturada com ferragem devidamente espaçada, preenchida em sua maior porção com isopor (3) usando concreto (C) como elemento de ligação, o que torna sua massa específica bem próxima a da água, sendo dotada de um dispositivo tubular (4) passível de ser esvaziado e preenchido com a água (A) da própria piscina, utilizando o sistema de aspiração (5) e retorno (6), nessa ordem, localizados do lado de fora da mesma, desse modo possibilitando a flutuabilidade do sobrepiso (1) no interior da piscina (2).  "FLOATING ADJUSTMENT POOL PROTECTION SURFACE" refers to a rigid (1) rigid physical and thermal pool overlay (2), executed in isolation at the ready end, such as a properly spaced structured slab with hardware, mostly filled with Styrofoam (3) using concrete (C) as the connecting element, which makes its specific mass very close to that of water, being provided with a tubular device (4) that can be emptied and filled with water. (A) of the pool itself, using the suction system (5) and return (6), in that order, located outside it, thus allowing the buoyancy of the overlay (1) inside the pool (2).
Mais particularmente, o sobrepiso (1) objeto pleiteado no presente pedido de patente se refere a uma estrutura plana e borda (7) de massa específica bem próxima a da água haja vista ser confeccionado em sua maior parte com placas de isopor (3) e concreto (C) armado como elemento de ligação, sendo executado isoladamente no fundo já existente da piscina (2). A flutuabilidade do sobrepiso (1) se dá graças a um "pulmão" conformado por um dispositivo tubular (4) formando um reservatório estrategicamente localizado em relação à superfície do sobrepiso (1), passível de ser esvaziado ou preenchido com a água (A) da própria piscina, respectivamente através de um ponto externo (8) ligado a tubulação de aspiração (5) ou num segundo ponto (9) externo ligado a tubulação de retorno (6) do sistema de filtragem por uma mangueira (M). Portanto, uma vez cheio o dispositivo tubular (4) a massa específica do sobrepiso (1) se tornará superior a da água levando-o para o fundo. Por outro lado, com o dispositivo tubular (4) vazio, a massa específica do sobrepiso (1) será inferior a da água levando-o para cima, ocasião em toma a função de proteção. Contíguo ao dispositivo tubular (4) existe uma janela (10) revestida por grelha (11), que permite acessar a tubulação e o rebaixo (12) no fundo da piscina, que tem como objetivo acomodar a mangueira (13) de drenagem e a mangueira (14) de suspiro que evita a formação de vácuo no circuito hidráulico. Um ralo (15) é instalado no sobrepiso (1) acima do dispositivo tubular (4) com o objetivo de escoar qualquer água sobre o mesmo, como, por exemplo, a água da chuva, direcionada para a rede de esgoto antes passando no interior do dispositivo, com a manobra em um registro (17), sem nenhum contato com a água da piscina. O ralo (15) também servirá como interligação do ponto (8) de aspiração para esvaziamento do dispositivo tubular (4), quando da necessidade de elevação. O sobrepiso (1) tem o perímetro projetado formando uma borda (16) que evita que a água acumulada na superfície esvaia para o interior da piscina. Por sua vez, quando a piscina não está em uso pode-se aspirar não só a água do dispositivo tubular (4), mas também a água sobre a superfície do sobrepiso (1), de modo que o mesmo passe a suportar uma carga de no mínimo 30 kg/ m2, condição em que as pessoas poderão caminhar sobre o mesmo. More particularly, the overlay (1) claimed in the present application relates to a flat structure and edge (7) of specific mass very close to that of water since it is mostly made of Styrofoam plates (3) and reinforced concrete (C) as a connecting element, being carried out in isolation on the existing bottom of the pool (2). The buoyancy of the overlay (1) is due to a "lung" shaped by a tubular device (4) forming a strategically located reservoir relative to the surface of the overlay (1), which can be emptied or filled with water (A) from the pool itself, respectively via an external point (8) connected to the suction pipe (5) or a second external point (9) connected to the return pipe (6) of the filtration system by a hose (M). Therefore, once the tubular device (4) has been filled, the specific mass of the overlay (1) will become larger than that of the water taking it to the bottom. On the other hand, with the tubular device (4) empty, the specific mass of the overlap (1) will be less than that of the water leading upwards, when it takes over the protective function. Adjacent to the tubular device (4) is a grid-lined window (10) which allows access to the tubing and recess (12) at the bottom of the pool, which is intended to accommodate the drain hose (13) and vent hose (14) that prevents vacuum formation in the hydraulic circuit. A drain (15) is installed in the overlay (1) above the tubular device (4) with the purpose of draining any water therein, such as rainwater, directed to the sewage system before passing inside. device, with the maneuver in a register (17), without any contact with the pool water. The drain (15) will also serve as an interconnection of the suction point (8) for emptying the tubular device (4) when lifting is required. The overlay (1) has the perimeter designed to form an edge (16) which prevents water accumulated on the surface from draining into the pool. In turn, when the pool is not in use, not only can the water from the tubular device (4) but also the water on the surface of the overlay (1) be sucked so that it can support a load of minimum 30 kg / m 2 , in which case people can walk on it.
