Description

La présente invention concerne d'une façon générale les piscines hors-sol à paroi rigide, et elle concerne plus spécifiquement des perfectionnements apportés aux piscines hors-sol comportant au moins une paroi rigide soutenue par des poteaux ou montants, une margelle étant prévue sur au moins une partie du pourtour de la piscine.The present invention relates in a generally the above-ground rigid-walled pools, and she more specifically concerns improvements brought to above-ground pools with at least one rigid wall supported by posts or uprights, a curb being provided on at least a part of the periphery of the swimming pool.

Il est connu d'équiper le bord supérieur de la paroi d'une piscine hors-sol avec un profilé qui, d'une part, forme protection pour empêcher que des personnes se blessent sur ce bord supérieur généralement mince et qui, d'autre part, améliore l'aspect esthétique de la piscine. Ces profilés peuvent avoir des conformations très diverses.It is known to equip the upper edge of the wall of an above-ground pool with a profile that part, form protection to prevent people from getting injure on this generally thin upper edge and which, on the other hand, improves the aesthetic appearance of the pool. These profiles can have very conformations variety.

La réalisation d'une margelle pour une piscine du genre considéré s'avère difficile si l'on recherche un aspect esthétique (moyens d'assemblage non visibles ou peu visibles), et éventuellement en raison d'un possible porte-à-faux de la margelle vers l'extérieur en présence d'une relativement faible épaisseur de la paroi.The realization of a coping for a swimming pool considered is proving difficult if one is looking for a aesthetic aspect (means of assembly not visible or little visible), and possibly because of a possible cantilever of the coping towards the outside in the presence a relatively small thickness of the wall.

L'invention a essentiellement pour but de proposer des moyens perfectionnés, mais simples, propres à permettre l'équipement d'une piscine telle que mentionnée plus haut avec une margelle dans des conditions économiques acceptables et ce quelle que soit la constitution de la paroi de la piscine.The main purpose of the invention is to propose sophisticated but simple means of allow the equipment of a swimming pool as mentioned higher with a coping in conditions economically acceptable and whatever the constitution of the pool wall.

A ces fins, une piscine hors-sol telle que mentionnée au préambule se caractérise, étant agencée selon l'invention, en ce qu'elle comprend :

  • des tronçons profilés de margelle, qui sont propres à chevaucher le bord supérieur de la paroi et dont la longueur est en correspondance avec la distance séparant deux poteaux consécutifs,
  • lesdits tronçons profilés comportant des alvéoles longitudinales débouchant dans leurs faces d'extrémité respectives,
  • des platines rigides reposant sur les faces supérieures des poteaux, les extrémités affrontées de deux tronçons profilés successifs reposant sur ladite platine à distance l'une de l'autre, et
  • des brides de liaison propres à reposer respectivement sur lesdites platines et solidarisées par vissage, à travers la platine correspondante, dans la face supérieure des poteaux, ces brides comportant chacune des moyens de positionnement transversal et de solidarisation verticale propres à s'engager dans les susdites alvéoles des extrémités affrontées de deux profilés consécutifs pour retenir ceux-ci dans une position relative correcte.
For these purposes, an above ground pool as mentioned in the preamble is characterized, being arranged according to the invention, in that it comprises:
  • profiled sections of coping, which are adapted to overlap the upper edge of the wall and whose length is in correspondence with the distance separating two consecutive columns,
  • said profiled sections comprising longitudinal cells opening into their respective end faces,
  • rigid plates resting on the upper faces of the columns, the facing ends of two successive profiled sections resting on said plate at a distance from one another, and
  • own connecting flanges to rest respectively on said plates and secured by screwing, through the corresponding plate, in the upper face of the posts, these flanges each having means for transverse positioning and vertical attachment adapted to engage in the aforesaid cavities of the opposite ends of two consecutive sections to hold them in a correct relative position.

Les moyens mis en oeuvre conformément à l'invention sont structurellement simples, les pièces composantes peuvent être fabriquées en grande série à faible coût, et ces moyens sont efficaces car ils permettent de mettre en place, avec des moyens d'assemblage pas ou peu visibles, une margelle qui peut éventuellement être saillante transversalement au-delà de la paroi de la piscine, qui est mécaniquement résistante et sur laquelle on puisse notamment s'appuyer, voire poser un enfant, sans qu'elle soit endommagée.The means implemented according to the invention are structurally simple, the component parts can be mass-produced at low cost, and these means are effective because they allow to put in place, with means of assembly not or little visible, a coping that can possibly be salient transversely beyond the wall of the pool, which is mechanically resistant and on which one can in particular, to support or even to place a child without is damaged.

Les dispositions conformes à l'invention peuvent trouver une application quelle que soit la constitution de la paroi de la piscine, et notamment lorsque la au moins une paroi est formée de panneaux qui sont réunis les uns à la suite des autres par lesdits poteaux. The arrangements according to the invention may find an application whatever the constitution of the wall of the swimming pool, and in particular when the a wall is formed of panels that are joined together to the rest of the others by said posts.

Les dispositions conformes à l'invention peuvent ainsi trouver une application intéressante dans le cas d'une piscine qui comporte au moins une paroi, possédant alors une épaisseur sensible, formée de panneaux en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois (et qui peuvent être formés par exemple par empilement de madriers) qui sont réunis les uns à la suite des autres par des poteaux ou montants au moins en partie en bois ou présentant l'aspect du bois. Dans ce cas, les dispositions conformes à l'invention peuvent aussi trouver une application pour une piscine qui comporte une paroi intérieure métallique, une paroi extérieure d'habillage formée de panneaux en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, et des poteaux à structure mixte avec partie intérieure métallique et partie extérieure en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, lesdits poteaux entretoisant les deux parois en même temps qu'ils solidarisent les panneaux de la paroi extérieure les uns à la suite des autres, et lesdits tronçons profilés de margelle sont propres chacun à chevaucher à la fois la paroi intérieure et la paroi extérieure. A fortiori les dispositions de l'invention peuvent s'avérer tout particulièrement intéressantes dans le cas d'une piscine à double paroi telle que décrite dans le document FR 2 843 769, qui comporte une paroi intérieure formée de panneaux métalliques, une paroi extérieure d'habillage formée de panneaux en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, et des poteaux ou montants à structure mixte avec partie intérieure métallique et partie extérieure en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, lesdits poteaux entretoisant les panneaux respectifs des deux parois en même temps qu'ils les solidarisent les uns à la suite des autres, lesdits tronçons profilés de margelle étant propres chacun à chevaucher à la fois un panneau intérieur et un panneau extérieur. On se trouve alors dans le cas favorable où la double paroi représente une épaisseur sensible, voire substantielle, qui facilite le soutien efficace de la margelle.The arrangements according to the invention may so find an interesting application in the case a swimming pool with at least one wall, having then a sensible thickness, made of wooden panels or in a material with the appearance of wood (and which can be formed for example by stacking planks) which are joined one after the other by posts or posts at least partly made of wood or presenting the appearance of the wood. In this case, the provisions according to the invention may also find a application for a pool that has a wall metallic interior, an outer cladding wall made of wood panels or a material presenting the appearance of wood, and poles with mixed structure with metallic inner part and wooden outer part or in a material having the appearance of wood, posts bridging both walls at the same time solidarise the panels of the outer wall to each following the others, and said profiled sections of rim are each clean to overlap both the inner wall and the outer wall. A fortiori the provisions of the invention can be all particularly interesting in the case of a swimming pool double wall as described in document FR 2 843 769, which has an inner wall formed of panels metal, an outer cladding wall formed of panels of wood or material having the appearance of wood, and poles or uprights with mixed structure with metallic inner part and wooden outer part or in a material having the appearance of wood, poles bridging the respective panels of the two walls at the same time that they solidarize them to each following others, said profiled sections of coping being each clean to overlap both a panel inside and an outside panel. We are then in the favorable case where the double wall represents a substantial, even substantial thickness, which facilitates effective support of the coping.

De préférence, dans le cadre de la présente invention les tronçons profilés de margelle sont constitués en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois.Preferably, in the context of this invention the profiled sections of coping are made of wood or a material having the appearance wood.

Avantageusement, chaque bride comporte des pattes latérales opposées qui sont propres à s'engager dans des alvéoles respectives des extrémités affrontées de deux tronçons profilés adjacents et qui sont agencées pour exercer un effort élastique dans lesdites alvéoles pour maintenir lesdits tronçons profilés en position relative correcte dans le sens transversal.Advantageously, each flange comprises tabs opposing sides that are fit to engage in respective alveoli of the confronted ends of two adjacent sections which are arranged to exert an elastic force in said cells to maintain said profiled sections in relative position correct in the transverse direction.

De façon simple, chaque bride comporte des goujons latéraux opposés qui sont propres à s'emboíter dans des alvéoles respectives des extrémités affrontées de deux tronçons profilés adjacents de manière à maintenir lesdites extrémités dans un positionnement relatif vertical correct.Simply, each flange has studs opposing sides which are suitable for fitting into respective alveoli of the confronted ends of two adjacent sections in order to maintain said ends in a relative position vertical correct.

Grâce à la combinaison des deux dispositions ci-dessus, on est en mesure de positionner de façon parfaite deux tronçons profilés successifs aussi bien verticalement qu'horizontalement, ce qui conduit à un bon aspect visuel de la margelle. En outre, ce positionnement relatif précis est obtenu sans que les organes d'assemblage soient apparents.Thanks to the combination of the two provisions above, we are able to position perfectly two successive profile sections both vertically than horizontally, which leads to a good visual appearance of the coping. In addition, this precise relative positioning is obtained without the connecting members being apparent.

Dans un exemple de réalisation préféré, chaque bride présente un corps en U avec des ailes longitudinales dont les extrémités sont rabattues vers l'extérieur pour former les susdites pattes, les deux pattes situées à une même extrémité de la bride formant entre elles un angle sensiblement égal à l'angle que forment entre eux deux panneaux consécutifs des parois. En outre, on peut alors prévoir, de façon simple, que les deux ailes longitudinales de chaque bride sont percées d'au moins deux trous respectifs et qu'une tige est engagée à travers ces trous en dépassant de part et d'autre extérieurement au-delà des deux ailes, les portions dépassantes de la tige formant deux goujons opposés. Une telle bride peut alors être avantageusement métallique, notamment formée par une plaque métallique découpée-pliée ou formée en métal injecté, de sorte qu'elle soit mécaniquement résistante et qu'elle puisse être fabriquée en grande série.In a preferred embodiment, each flange has a U-shaped body with longitudinal wings whose ends are folded outwards for form the aforesaid legs, the two legs located at a same end of the flange forming an angle between them substantially equal to the angle formed between them two consecutive panels of the walls. In addition, we can then provide, in a simple way, that the two longitudinal wings each flange is pierced with at least two holes respective and that a rod is engaged through these holes by going beyond the outside and beyond two wings, the protruding portions of the stem forming two studs opposite. Such a flange can then be advantageously metallic, in particular formed by a metal plate cut-folded or formed of metal injected, so that it is mechanically resistant and it can be manufactured in large series.

On soulignera également que la mise en oeuvre des moyens conformes à l'invention, et en particulier de la bride mentionnée ci-dessus, permet une adaptation simple au contour exact de la piscine, notamment une adaptation à l'angle que forment entre eux deux panneaux consécutifs en fonction du nombre de ces panneaux, c'est-à-dire en fonction de la forme polygonale précise de la piscine.It will also be emphasized that the implementation of means according to the invention, and in particular the flange mentioned above, allows a simple adaptation the exact outline of the pool, including an adaptation to the angle formed between them two consecutive panels in according to the number of these panels, that is to say in function of the precise polygonal shape of the pool.

Pour parfaire l'aspect esthétique de la margelle, on peut prévoir un boítier d'habillage pour recouvrir la bride de liaison.To complete the aesthetic appearance of the coping, a casing can be provided to cover the connecting flange.

Les moyens conformes à l'invention peuvent convenir pour toutes les configurations que l'on souhaite donner à la margelle, que celle-ci s'étende seulement sur une portion du pourtour de la piscine ou qu'elle s'étende sur toute la périphérie.The means according to the invention can suitable for all configurations that we want give the rim, that it extends only on a portion of the perimeter of the pool or that it extends on the whole periphery.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit de certains modes de réalisation préférés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. Dans cette description, on se réfère aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

Dans la description qui suit en liaison avec les dessins annexés, on se réfère plus spécifiquement au type de piscine hors-sol à double paroi décrit dans le document FR 2 843 769, car il s'agit d'un domaine privilégié, bien que non exclusif, d'application des dispositions de l'invention.In the following description in connection with the attached drawings, reference is made more specifically to the type Double-walled above-ground pool described in the document FR 2 843 769, because it is a privileged domain, although non-exclusive, application of the provisions of the invention.

Comme illustré à la figure 1, une piscine hors-sol de ce type comporte une paroi intérieure 1 formée de panneaux 2 métalliques disposés selon un contour fermé, en principe polygonal, cette paroi intérieure étant mécaniquement résistante pour s'opposer à la poussée de l'eau, et une paroi extérieure 3 formée de panneaux 4 en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois (il peut s'agir de panneaux pleins ou de préférence de panneaux formés d'un empilement de madriers), cette paroi extérieure étant essentiellement destinée à l'habillage. Des poteaux 5 à structure mixte, avec partie intérieure 6 métallique et partie extérieure 7 en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, coopèrent avec les extrémités des panneaux des deux parois et les entretoisent de manière que les deux parois restent écartées l'une de l'autre afin que le bois ou le matériau présentant l'aspect du bois ne soit pas au contact de l'eau ou de l'humidité de condensation apparaissant sur les parois métalliques.As illustrated in Figure 1, an above-ground pool of this type has an inner wall 1 formed of metal panels 2 arranged in a closed contour, in polygonal principle, this inner wall being mechanically resistant to oppose the push of water, and an outer wall 3 formed of panels 4 in wood or a material with the appearance of wood ( may be solid panels or preferably panels formed of a pile of planks), this wall outer being essentially for dressing. Poles 5 with mixed structure, with inner part 6 metal and outer part 7 of wood or in one material with the appearance of wood, cooperate with the ends of the panels of both walls and the brace so that both walls remain spaced apart from each other so that the wood or material presenting the appearance of the wood is not in contact with water or condensation moisture appearing on the metal walls.

Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, la partie intérieure 6 métallique du poteau se présente sous la forme d'un profilé de conformation appropriée, par exemple un fer en U qui enserre partiellement la partie extérieure 7 en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, et ce profilé métallique peut posséder un rabat supérieur qui forme une semelle 8 percée d'un trou 9 taraudé.In the example illustrated in FIG. inside 6 metal of the post is under the shape of an appropriate conformation profile, for example a U-shaped iron that partially encloses the outer part 7 made of wood or material with the appearance of wood, and this metal section may have a top flap which forms a sole 8 pierced with a threaded hole 9.

Toujours dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, la partie extérieure 7, de son côté, se présente sous forme d'un profilé en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois, lequel profilé comporte diverses alvéoles 10 d'étendue longitudinale. On entend désigner par alvéoles soit des canaux traversant le profilé sur toute la longueur de celui-ci et débouchant à ses deux extrémités, soit des tronçons ou amorces aveugles de tels canaux creusés au voisinage des extrémités du profilé.Still in the example shown in Figure 1, the outer part 7, for its part, is in form a profile in a material with the appearance of wood, which profile comprises various cells 10 of extent longitudinal. We mean by cells either channels through the profile over the entire length of this one and opening at both ends, blind sections or primers of such channels dug at near the ends of the profile.

Les faces supérieures des panneaux 2 et 4 et des parties 6 et 7 du poteau 5 sont situées approximativement au même niveau.The upper faces of panels 2 and 4 and Parts 6 and 7 of Post 5 are located approximately at the same level.

D'autres détails concernant cette piscine pourront être trouvés dans le document FR 2 843 769. Other details about this pool will be to be found in FR 2,843,769.

La margelle dont on souhaite équiper la piscine ci-dessus est formée de tronçons profilés constitués en tout matériau approprié, ici de préférence en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois pour s'accorder visuellement avec la paroi d'habillage. A la figure 2 est représentée l'extrémité d'un tel tronçon profilé de margelle 11, constitué en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois. Le profilé 11 comporte un plateau 12 et deux ailes longitudinales 13 en retour vers le bas. La face d'extrémité 14 fait apparaítre diverses alvéoles, qui peuvent s'étendre sur toute la longueur du tronçon 11.The coping we want to equip the pool above is formed of profiled sections consisting of any suitable material, preferably wood or a material with the appearance of wood to match visually with the cladding wall. In Figure 2 is represented the end of such a profiled section of lip 11, made of a material having the appearance wood. The profile 11 comprises a plate 12 and two longitudinal wings 13 in return down. The face end 14 shows various cells, which may extend over the entire length of section 11.

En particulier on notera la présence, dans les deux ailes ou au droit des deux ailes 13, de deux alvéoles 15 respectives qui, de préférence, présentent une section de forme allongée verticalement. On notera également la présence de deux alvéoles 16 écartées l'une de l'autre et ayant une section de forme allongée horizontalement.In particular, we note the presence, in two wings or the right of the two wings 13, two cells 15 which preferably have a section of elongated form vertically. We will also note the presence of two cells 16 spaced apart from each other and having a horizontally elongate section.

Bien entendu, de nombreuses solutions peuvent être envisagées pour la conformation des tronçons de margelle 11. Notamment, si l'on souhaite former une margelle de grande largeur, on peut prévoir de juxtaposer plusieurs (par exemple deux) tronçons profilés bord contre bord pour obtenir la largeur souhaitée.Of course, many solutions can be envisaged for the conformation of the sections of coping 11. In particular, if one wishes to form a rim of wide, one can foresee juxtaposing several (for example two) edge-to-edge profiled sections for get the desired width.

A la figure 4 est illustré en vue cavalière un agencement de raccordement de deux tronçons de margelle tels que montrés à la figure 2, ces deux tronçons de margelle étant présentés écartés l'un de l'autre afin que d'autres éléments de l'agencement de raccordement soient visibles.In Figure 4 is illustrated in a cavalier view connection arrangement of two sections of coping as shown in Figure 2, these two sections of margins being presented separated from each other so that other elements of the connection arrangement are visible.

Sur la figure 4 on aperçoit les deux panneaux d'habillage 4 encadrant la partie extérieure 7 d'un poteau 5. Sur la face supérieure du poteau 5 est montée une platine 17 sensiblement rigide, par exemple sous forme d'une plaque métallique, qui forme une surface d'appui relativement plane et stable et dont au moins les dimensions latérales peuvent éventuellement être supérieures à celles de la face supérieure du poteau 5.In Figure 4 we see the two panels 4 surrounding the outer portion 7 of a pole 5. On the upper face of the pole 5 is mounted a platinum 17 substantially rigid, for example in form a metal plate, which forms a bearing surface relatively flat and stable and of which at least lateral dimensions can possibly be greater than those of the upper face of the post 5.

Sur la platine 17 est montée une bride de liaison 18 qui se présente sous forme d'une pièce allongée s'étendant approximativement selon la bissectrice de l'angle que forment entre eux les deux panneaux d'habillage 4 ainsi que les deux tronçons de margelle 11.On the plate 17 is mounted a connecting flange 18 which is in the form of an elongated piece extending approximately along the bisector of the angle between the two panels 4 as well as the two sections of coping 11.

La bride de liaison 18, qui est montrée en vue de dessus à la figure 3, comporte un corps 19 en U présentant un fond 20 sensiblement plat reposant sur la platine 17 et deux ailes 21 longitudinales. Les extrémités des ailes 21 sont rabattues vers l'extérieur et forment quatre pattes élastiques 22 respectives, les deux pattes 22 situées à une même extrémité de la bride de liaison 18 formant entre elles un angle sensiblement égal à l'angle que forment entre eux les deux panneaux d'habillage 4 et les deux tronçons de margelle 11.The connecting flange 18, which is shown for above in FIG. 3, comprises a U-shaped body 19 having a substantially flat bottom 20 resting on the plate 17 and two wings 21 longitudinal. The ends of the wings 21 are folded out and form four legs respective elastics 22, the two legs 22 located at one end of the connecting flange 18 forming between they an angle substantially equal to the angle that form between them the two trim panels 4 and the two sections of coping 11.

La platine 17 et la bride de liaison 18 sont assemblées, ensemble, par vissage au poteau 5. A cet effet, la platine 17 est pourvue de trous 23 et le fond 20 de la bride de liaison 18 est pourvu de lumières allongées 24 (pour faciliter son positionnement correct) situées en regard des trous 23. Notamment, il peut être prévu deux trous 23 et deux lumières 24 en coïncidence qui sont respectivement disposés au droit des parties intérieure 6 et extérieure 7 du poteau 5. Par exemple, un trou 23 et une lumière 24 peuvent être alignés avec le trou 9 taraudé montré à la figure 1 au sommet de la partie intérieure 6 du poteau 5, tandis que l'autre trou 23 et l'autre lumière 24 peuvent être situés en regard de la zone pleine 25 visible à la figure 1 dans la partie extérieure 7 du poteau 5.The plate 17 and the connecting flange 18 are assembled, together, by screwing to the pole 5. At this Indeed, the plate 17 is provided with holes 23 and the bottom 20 the connecting flange 18 is provided with elongated lights 24 (to facilitate its correct positioning) located in 23. In particular, it may be provided two holes 23 and two lights 24 in coincidence that are respectively arranged to the right of the inner parts 6 and outer 7 of the pole 5. For example, a hole 23 and a light 24 can be aligned with the threaded hole 9 shown in Figure 1 at the top of the inner part 6 of pole 5, while the other hole 23 and the other light 24 can be located next to the full area 25 visible in Figure 1 in the outer part 7 of the post 5.

Enfin, la bride de liaison 18 est équipée de goujons 25 s'étendant latéralement. Dans l'exemple illustré aux figures 3 et 4, ces goujons 25 sont au nombre de quatre, deux à deux opposés. En pratique, on peut prévoir que les ailes 21 sont percées de trous en vis-à-vis et que deux tiges 26 y sont engagées pour s'étendre transversalement, les extrémités de ces tiges qui dépassent extérieurement les ailes 21 formant les susdits goujons 25.Finally, the connecting flange 18 is equipped with studs 25 extending laterally. In the example illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, these studs 25 are in the number four, two to two opposite. In practice, you can provide that the wings 21 are pierced with holes vis-à-vis and that two rods 26 are engaged there to extend transversely, the ends of these stems outwardly exceed the wings 21 forming the aforesaid studs 25.

Pour qu'elle soit mécaniquement résistante, il est préférable que la bride de liaison 18 soit métallique, obtenue par exemple par une opération de découpage-pliage et bien par moulage par injection en un alliage métallique.For it to be mechanically resistant, it is preferably that the connecting flange 18 is metallic, obtained for example by a cutting-folding operation and well by alloy injection molding metallic.

Comme visible à la figure 4, l'assemblage des tronçons de margelle 11 s'effectue en introduisant les pattes 22 dans les alvéoles d'extrémité 15, les pattes étant en appui élastique contre la paroi des alvéoles respectives et conduisant à un positionnement relatif correct des tronçons de margelle dans le sens transversal, en même temps que les goujons 25 sont introduits dans les alvéoles 16 précitées : en donnant aux goujons 25 un diamètre sensiblement égal à la petite dimension des alvéoles 16, on obtient alors un positionnement relatif correct de deux tronçons de margelle consécutifs dans le sens vertical ; de préférence on peut aussi faire en sorte que l'écartement des deux tiges 26 soit tel que les goujons 25 s'engagent dans les alvéoles 16 à proximité des extrémités respectives de celles-ci de manière à créer une butée mécanique limitant la capacité de débattement transversal des tronçons de margelle. As shown in Figure 4, the assembly of sections of edge 11 is made by introducing the tabs 22 in the end cells 15, the tabs being in elastic support against the wall of the cells respective and leading to relative positioning correct sections of coping in the transverse direction, at the same time as the studs 25 are introduced into the alveoli 16 above: by giving the studs 25 a diameter substantially equal to the small size of cells 16, we then obtain a relative positioning of two consecutive sections of coping vertical direction; preferably we can also make sure that the spacing of the two rods 26 is such that the studs 25 engage in the cells 16 near the respective ends of these so as to create a mechanical stop limiting travel capacity transversal sections of coping.

A la figure 5, les deux tronçons de margelle 11 sont montrés en position de montage achevé, les pattes 22 enfoncées dans les alvéoles 15 et les deux profilés 11 en butée contre la platine 18.In FIG. 5, the two sections of coping 11 are shown in completed mounting position, the legs 22 embedded in the cells 15 and the two sections 11 in stop against platinum 18.

A la figure 6, un boítier d'habillage 27 est mis en place sur la bride de liaison 18 pour camoufler celle-ci. Dans l'exemple illustré, le boítier d'habillage 27 est formé d'une bande métallique mise en forme en correspondance avec la forme du contour extérieur du plateau 12 et des ailes 13 des tronçons de margelle 11 ; le boítier d'habillage 27 peut alors être vissé en 28 sur des pattes 29 prévues aux extrémités de la bride de liaison 18. Bien entendu, de nombreuses possibilités sont envisageables, en variante, pour la finition du raccordement des deux tronçons de margelle.In Figure 6, a casing 27 is put in place on the connecting flange 18 to camouflage it. In the example shown, the casing 27 is formed of a metal band shaped into correspondence with the shape of the outer contour of the plateau 12 and wings 13 of the lip portions 11; the housing housing 27 can then be screwed in 28 on tabs 29 provided at the ends of the flange of 18. Of course, many possibilities are alternatively, for the finishing of the connection of the two sections of coping.

Comme cela a été mentionné plus haut, les dispositions qui viennent d'être décrites sont destinées à la mise en place d'une margelle en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois sur une piscine à structure mixte à double paroi telle que décrite dans le document FR 2 843 769, avec des panneaux d'habillage extérieur en bois ou en un matériau présentant l'aspect du bois. Dans ce cas, les tronçons de margelle chevauchent les bords supérieurs des deux ensembles de panneaux intérieurs 3 et extérieurs 4.As mentioned above, The provisions just described are intended to the setting up of a coping in wood or in a material presenting the appearance of wood on a swimming pool with structure mixed double wall as described in the document FR 2,843,769, with exterior wooden cladding panels or in a material having the appearance of wood. In this In this case, the edges of the coping straddle the edges upper two sets of inner panels 3 and outside 4.

Toutefois, on conçoit que les moyens proposés par l'invention ne sont pas structurellement liés à ce type particulier de piscine, et notamment ne sont pas liés à la nature ni au nombre des parois. De ce fait, ces moyens peuvent également être mis en oeuvre pour positionner une margelle sur une piscine à paroi unique (par exemple formée d'une tôle continue soutenue par les poteaux ou formée de panneaux métalliques réunis par les poteaux), a fortiori si cette paroi unique est relativement épaisse (par exemple paroi en bois ou analogue formée d'un empilement de madriers). La mise en oeuvre efficace de l'invention est davantage liée à la section des poteaux qui doit être suffisante, notamment dans le sens radial, pour pouvoir supporter la plaque 17 et la bride de liaison 18 par vissage.However, it is conceivable that the means proposed by the invention are not structurally related to this type swimming pool, and in particular are not related to the nature or the number of walls. As a result, these means can also be implemented to position a curb on a single-walled pool (eg formed of a continuous sheet supported by the columns or made of metal panels joined by the poles), fortiori if this single wall is relatively thick (eg wooden wall or the like formed of a stack of planks). Effective implementation of the invention is more related to the column section which must be sufficient, especially in the radial direction, to be able to support the plate 17 and the connecting flange 18 by screwing.

On soulignera aussi que, notamment dans le cas d'une piscine à paroi unique, la margelle peut présenter un porte-à-faux sensible en particulier vers l'extérieur : les moyens de montage et d'assemblage conformes à l'invention peuvent convenir dans un tel cas pour supporter la margelle de façon efficace.It should also be emphasized that, particularly in the case a pool with a single wall, the coping can present a sensitive cantilever, especially towards the outside: the assembly and assembly means according to the invention may be suitable in such a case for support the rim effectively.

Enfin, bien qu'il soit habituel qu'une margelle, lorsqu'elle est présente, s'étende sur la totalité du pourtour d'une piscine, il demeure cependant possible, dans le contexte de l'invention, de n'équiper qu'une partie du pourtour de la piscine si cela est nécessaire ou souhaité.Finally, although it is usual that a coping, when present, extends over the entire around a swimming pool, it remains possible, in the context of the invention, to equip only one part of the pool area if it is necessary or wish.
