Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pool enclosure having a sliding wall with a lift assist. It relates more particularly to a high shelter likely to cover an area comprising a pool and allowing users to be standing on the edge of the pool under the shelter.
  • This type of shelter generally comprises arches extending on either side of the basin parallel to each other, between which are reported transparent walls so as to form a tunnel.
  • Transparent vertical walls are provided to the right of the arches arranged at each end to close the tunnel and to obtain a closed space above the basin.
  • Doors are usually provided at the vertical walls to allow access to the interior of the shelter.
  • This type of shelter makes it possible to secure the pool as young children can not get inside without the intervention of an adult to open the door of the shelter. It also helps to limit heat loss and to obtain a greenhouse effect.
  • some shelters known as telescopic shelters comprise a succession of movable elements that can fit one underneath the other.
  • This solution has the advantage of completely clearing the basin.
  • This ability to clear the basin can be a disadvantage, however, because there is no longer a safety device to prevent drowning.
  • the operation of the elements is not easy and requires at least two people, one at each end of the hoops.
  • one solution may be to provide on the ground guide rails.
  • this solution is not very aesthetic and can be dangerous because of the presence of a protruding element on the ground near the basin.
  • the document EP-224 290 proposes an alternative consisting of providing fixed arches between which sliding walls are placed. These sliding walls can be arranged one after the other to obtain a closed shelter or stored in the upper part or on one side to create an opening.
  • the sliding walls are in the form of plates whose edges slide in ribs formed at the sides of the arches.
  • this solution is not fully satisfactory because the sliding of the walls is not easy because of the friction between the sliding wall and the arch at its curved portion. This problem is accentuated because of the heavy weight of the sliding walls for large shelters. According to another disadvantage, this type of shelter does not allow to obtain a shelter with side openings, while maintaining a barrier in the lower part for the safety of children.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a pool enclosure with sliding walls easily maneuverable.
  • the subject of the invention is a pool enclosure comprising at least one element comprising two sections parallel to one another, arranged in vertical planes, a first fixed wall in the upper part so as to form a roof and a second sliding wall in the lower part which extends from the ground to the fixed wall, said sliding wall comprising a plate sufficiently flexible to follow the curvature of the profiles with each side an amount slidable in a groove formed at the profiles , characterized in that each section disposed on either side of said wall slider comprises a spiral spring disposed in a housing provided on at least a part of the length of the profile, the first end of the spring being connected to the profile while the other end is connected to the sliding wall so as to compensate for at least one part of the weight of said sliding wall.
  • a pool cover likely to cover an area incorporating a pool.
  • the dimensions of the shelter are such that they allow users to be standing on the edge of the pool under the shelter.
  • the shelter comprises U-shaped hoops 10 arranged in vertical planes parallel to each other.
  • the legs of the arches are arranged on either side of the basin and can be anchored to the ground by any appropriate means.
  • Each arch 10 comprises two parts symmetrical with respect to the transverse median plane 12 of the shelter.
  • the shelter comprises a girder 16, of a single section or several sections put end to end assembled by any appropriate means.
  • the half-arches are assembled on either side of the girder beam 16.
  • the section 14 forming the half-arches comprises a hollow core 18 of rectangular section.
  • the girder beam 16 has a T-shaped section with partly upper two wings 20.
  • the girder 16 comprises a transverse orifice 22, passing right through the duct beam 16, of substantially identical section to that of the hollow core 18 of the profile 14.
  • a bracket 24 is disposed astride and is housed at the ends of the hollow cores 18 and in the transverse orifice 22.
  • This bracket 24 is in the form of a solid or hollow metal section whose section is adapted to penetrate without play (or with minimal clearance) in the hollow cores 18 of the profiles 14.
  • the bracket 24 has a rectangular section in planes parallel to the median plane, its lower and upper edges being slightly curved so as to correspond to the curvature of the arch 10. After assembly, the various elements are held in position. position by any appropriate means.
  • the shelter comprises at least two fixed portions 26 and 28 between which at least one movable portion 30 can be placed.
  • Each fixed or movable portion comprises at least two spaced apart arches between which plates are arranged.
  • a shelter element is understood to mean the portion of the shelter delimited by two successive arches. Two successive elements comprise a common section 14.
  • a movable or fixed element comprises two arches each consisting of two half-arches connected by a beam, the foot of the arches being fixed to the ground for the fixed elements or connected on each side by a cross member 32 comprising rolling means, as for example pebbles or rollers, to rest on the ground and to be able to translate.
  • each fixed portion 26 and 28 includes a fixed shelter element.
  • This shelter comprises two movable portions 30, 30 'each comprising a shelter element.
  • the movable shelter elements 30, 30 ' have arches whose dimensions are slightly greater than those of the arches of the fixed shelter elements so that the mobile shelter elements can slide over the fixed shelter elements .
  • one of the fixed elements 30 can slide above the fixed portion 26 while the other movable member 30 'can slide over the fixed portion 28.
  • a swimming pool shelter according to the invention may comprise no mobile element, or a single mobile element for example.
  • each fixed portion may comprise one or more fixed elements.
  • the shelter comprises between two portions of fixed elements at least two guiding beams 34 parallel to the girder beam 16 and arranged approximately at the accentuated radius of curvature of the arches , slightly shifted upwards.
  • Each guide beam 34 is disposed at the level of the profiles of the fixed elements and shifted downward relative to the profiles of the movable element.
  • each guide beam 34 comprises an upwardly facing upper face 36 comprising an upstanding T-shaped longitudinal groove 38 extending preferably over the entire length of the guide beam.
  • the movable element comprises, at the right of each guide beam 34, at the level of the arch furthest from the fixed element on which it can be superposed, a projecting element 40 able to slide in the groove longitudinal 38.
  • each projecting element 40 comprises a roller 42 disposed at the end of a support 44, the axis of rotation of the roller 42 being arranged perpendicular to the lower face the profile of the movable element.
  • the diameter of the roller 42 is slightly smaller than the width of the lower part of the longitudinal groove 38 while the width of the upper part of the longitudinal groove 38 is smaller than the diameter of said roller 42 and greater than that of the support 44.
  • the guide beams 34 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the median plane 12. They are arranged so as to be furthest apart while being sufficiently high to allow users to pass underneath. This arrangement of the guide beams 34 improves the guiding of the movable element and thus facilitates its operation.
  • each crosspiece 32 may comprise at its face facing the fixed element a longitudinal groove 46 in the shape of a T, preferably extending over any the length of the cross.
  • the fixed element capable of being disposed under the movable element comprises at the level of the hoop closest to the movable element a projecting element 48 able to slide in the longitudinal groove 46.
  • each projecting element 48 comprises a roller 50 disposed at the end of a support 52, the axis of rotation of the roller 50 being disposed perpendicular to the outer face of the profile of the fixed element.
  • the diameter of the roller 50 is slightly smaller than the width of the lower part of the longitudinal groove 48 while the width of the upper part of the longitudinal groove 48 is smaller than the diameter of said roller and greater than that of the support 52.
  • each element consists of two half-elements 54 symmetrical with respect to the girder beam 16, illustrated in detail on the Figures 4A, 4B , 5, 6 and 7 .
  • a half-element 54 comprises two profiles 14 connected in the upper part to a girder 16.

  • Each half-element 54 comprises between the two sections 14 a first wall 56 fixed in the upper part so as to form a roof and a second sliding wall 58 in the lower part which extends from the ground to the fixed wall 56.
  • the sliding wall 58 can occupy a first closed state in which it comes into contact with the ground or another so-called open state in which it releases access under the shelter and is placed under the fixed wall 56.
  • the fixed walls and sliding are slightly overlapped in the closed state to ensure a certain seal.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to obtain in the closed state a closed shelter and in the open state a shelter with at least between two successive arches a clear space.
  • all the elements comprise a fixed wall and a sliding wall.
  • At least one half-element 54 comprises between the two sections 14 a sliding barrier 60, as illustrated in FIG. figure 11 .
  • this sliding barrier 60 is disposed under the fixed wall 56 whereas when the sliding wall 58 is in the open state, the sliding barrier 60 can be operated to slide it so as to it comes into contact with the ground to form a protective device to prevent drowning, as shown in figure 11 .
  • This arrangement allows to open the shelter while maintaining a barrier system to prevent drowning.
  • the sliding barrier 60 can slide under the movable wall 58.
  • a sliding barrier 60 comprises a flexible plate 62 so as to be able to follow the curvature of the arches, with each side an amount 64 slidable in a groove 66 formed at the corresponding section 14, and upper and lower cross members 68 forming with the uprights 64 a frame for the flexible plate 62.
