Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of swimming pools, spas and jacuzzis. More particularly, the invention relates to swimming pools, spas and jacuzzis comprising a staircase to go down into a pool and out of the pool. Specifically, the invention relates to a swimming pool, spa or jacuzzi including a staircase whose steps are in a block of light material.
  • staircase it is also possible to integrate the staircase to the structure of the pool.
  • a structure is for example described in the document EP2568098 .
  • Hollow and open polystyrene blocks are placed to form a staircase. Concrete is then poured into the blocks to obtain a solid and resistant structure that can act as a staircase.
  • This type of staircase has a number of disadvantages, particularly related to the significant construction time of the staircase and technical difficulties occurring during their establishment.
  • the time to set up this type of staircase is relatively long: it is first necessary to lay the polystyrene blocks, then pour the concrete, and wait until the concrete completely dry before moving to the next stages of construction of the swimming pool. This also requires the builder of the pool to have relatively bulky tools to prepare and pour the concrete.
  • the documents FR2773188 , US2013 / 007956 and US5678256 also cover pools (swimming pool, bathtub) equipped with a staircase. More particularly the document FR2773188 describes swimming pool stairs as plastic or metal profiles or as concrete structures connected to the shell.
  • the document US2013 / 007956 describes stairs made of solid and heavy blocks such as concrete or brick blocks.
  • the document US5678256 describes a staircase made from rigid structures such as steel, plastic moldings or concrete structures.
  • a swimming pool comprising a staircase whose elements constituting the staircase or steps of the staircase are easy to manufacture and lightweight, the implementation of which is fast, without the need to resort to expensive or complex means for fixing the stairway to the swimming pool structure and / or solidification means for the stair blocks, such as, for example, concreting.
  • the invention relates to a swimming pool according to claim 1 comprising a pool, said pool having a bottom and at least one side wall, a staircase, said staircase being independent of the pool and comprising at least one lower surface, said surface lower part resting on the bottom of the pool, said staircase being formed of at least one block of material, so that in each of the at least one block is closed and solid, and in that an impermeable covering imperviously covers at least the staircase, characterized in that each of the at least one block having a density of less than 500 kg / m3.
  • the steps of the staircase are constituted by blocks of material whose upper surface is full. These blocks are lightweight, allowing easy handling by an individual.
  • the construction of the staircase is faster because no concrete must be poured to fill and solidify the blocks of material. Thanks to the insulation of the stairs, the blocks are not in contact with the water present in the swimming pool.
  • the result is a pool with a staircase whose installation is greatly facilitated, and can be performed quickly by an isolated person without using devices to prepare or pour a concrete, or to fix the stairs.
  • the at least one block of material is a solid block.
  • These blocks have a better resistance to compression forces and are therefore even more suitable for constituting the steps of a staircase because they deform more difficultly, and the life of the staircase is improved.
  • These solid blocks retain the same advantages as the closed blocks on their upper face, namely a light enough to be handled by a single person. This results in a staircase always lighter than the stairs of the prior art, but which has properties of strength and robustness even more satisfactory in the context of application of the invention.
  • the impervious coating covering the staircase is extended by further covering the bottom of the pool and the at least one side wall.
  • the assembly comprising the bottom of the pool and the side walls of the pool is covered with the same impermeable coating as the staircase, to improve the overall tightness of the whole, and more particularly from the stairs.
  • the present invention relates to a swimming pool (1) comprising a pool.
  • the term swimming pool also includes spa type baths or Jacuzzi.
  • the pool basin (1) has a bottom (2).
  • This bottom (2) may for example be concrete in the case of pools (1) having a fully concrete structure.
  • At least one side wall (3) is present. Of course, several sidewalls may be present.
  • This side wall (3) may for example be vertical and be a stack of concrete blocks, a wooden structure wall, a steel wall, a plastic wall, or even a concrete veil.
  • a staircase (10) formed of at least one block of material (4) is present.
  • each of the blocks of material (4) has a density of less than 1000 kg / m 3 , preferably less than 500 kg / m 3 , and even more preferably less than 250 kg / m 3 .
  • each of the blocks of material (4) has a density of between 15 kg / m 3 and 500 kg / m 3 , even more preferably between 20 kg / m 3 and 250 kg / m 3 , and still more preferably between 30 kg / m 3 and 60 kg / m 3 .
  • the at least one block of material (4) is closed on its face upper (40), that is to say it has no hole such as a hole for pouring a concrete.
  • the blocks of material (4) are not concrete blocks.
  • the block of material (4) is a closed block, that is to say that none of the faces of the block of material (4) has a hole.
  • the block of material (4) is a closed and solid block.
  • solid block it should be understood that the block of material (4) does not comprise a cavity or meatus, in particular intended for example to receive an exogenous material, such as for example a concrete.
  • the block of material (4) is a block of polystyrene, polyurethane, cork, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) recycled or not, or wood. Even more preferably, the material blocks (4) are expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene.
  • the blocks of material have a compressive strength greater than 20 kPa at 10% crushing conditions.
  • the blocks of material have a compressive strength greater than 60 kPa at 10% crushing conditions, and even more preferably, the blocks of material have a compressive strength greater than 150 kPa at crush conditions to 10%. This resistance can be measured according to the EN-826 standard.
  • the at least one block of material (4) forms at least one step (10a) of the staircase (10).
  • a single block of material (4) forms several steps, as illustrated in FIG. Fig. 1 .
  • the steps (10a) of the staircase (10) can be formed by several blocks of material (4): each step (10a) can be formed by a single block of material (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e , 4f), as shown in fig.2 , or more sets of steps may be formed by separate blocks of material (4).
  • the blocks (4) may have at least one decreasing width and / or depth in order to be able to stack the blocks to form a or several steps (10a) of the staircase (10).
  • all blocks of material (4) have the same height. Since a staircase according to the invention can take different forms (a trapezium, a triangle, a semi-circle or a free form), there are no limits to the dimensions and the shape that the blocks of material can have (4 ).
  • the blocks of material (4) are parallelepipeds, even more preferably rectangular parallelepipeds.
  • each of the blocks of material (4) may be part of a rectangular parallelepiped sectioned according to its height. Still alternately, each of the blocks of material (4) may have at least one horizontal surface in the form of a semicircle, or a free-form surface.
  • the blocks may comprise interlocking members with a neighboring block.
  • the interlocking members may for example be present on an upper face (40) and / or on a lower face.
  • these interlocking members may comprise a tongue on a surface of a block and a groove on a surface of a block. It is understood that these organs are able to cooperate with each other, and that these organs can take different forms and positions on a surface of a block of material.

  • the lower surface (41) of the staircase (10) rests on the bottom (2) of the swimming pool.
  • the staircase (10) has only one block of material (4)
  • the lower surface of the block of material (4) and the bottom surface (2) are in contact.
  • a plurality of material blocks (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f) compose the staircase (10)
  • the lower surface of the block of material (4a) which has the greatest width and / or which has the greater depth is in contact with the bottom (2) of the pool (1).
  • the lower surface (41) of the staircase (10) is fixed on the bottom (2), for example by means of a polyurethane type glue.
  • the lower surface of the lower block of the staircase can be glued to the bottom of the pool, for example by means of a polyurethane type glue.
