Description

La présente invention concerne les 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 to above-ground pools comprising at least one rigid wall supported by posts or uprights, a curb being provided on at least a portion of the periphery of the 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 which, on the one hand, forms a protection to prevent people from injuring themselves on this generally thin upper edge and which, on the other hand on the other hand, improves the aesthetic appearance of the pool. These profiles can have very different conformations.

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 of the type considered is difficult if one looks for an aesthetic appearance (means of assembly not visible or not very visible), and possibly because of a possible overhang of the lip towards the outside in the presence of a relatively small thickness of the wall.

Le document US-A-3 268 917 décrit une piscine hors-sol qui présente les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.The document US-A-3,268,917 describes an above ground pool that has the features of the preamble of claim 1.

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 provide improved, but simple, means for allowing the equipment of a swimming pool as mentioned above with a lip in economically acceptable conditions and whatever the constitution of the wall of the swimming pool.

A ces fins, une piscine hors-sol telle que mentionnée au préambule de la revendication 1 se caractérise, étant agencée selon l'invention, en ce que :

  • lesdits tronçons profilés comportent des alvéoles longitudinales débouchant dans leurs faces d'extrémité respectives, et en ce que
  • lesdites brides comportent 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 of claim 1 is characterized, being arranged according to the invention, in that:
  • said profiled sections comprise longitudinal cells opening into their respective end faces, and in that
  • said flanges each comprise means for transverse positioning and vertical securing adapted to engage in the aforesaid cells of the facing ends of two consecutive sections to retain 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 used according to the invention are structurally simple, the component parts can be manufactured in large series at low cost, and these means are effective because they allow to set up, with means of assembly not or not very visible , a curb that may possibly protrude transversely beyond the wall of the pool, which is mechanically resistant and on which one can in particular support or even place a child, without being 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 can find an application whatever the constitution of the pool wall, and especially when the at least one wall is formed of panels which are joined one after the other 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 can thus find an interesting application in the case of a pool which comprises at least one wall, then having a substantial thickness, formed of panels of wood or a material having the appearance of wood (and which can be formed for example by stacking planks) which are joined one after another by posts or amounts at least partly wood or having the appearance of wood. In this case, the arrangements according to the invention can also find an application for a swimming pool which comprises a metal inner wall, an outer wall of cladding formed of panels of wood or a material having the appearance of wood, and posts with a composite structure with an inner metal part and an outer part made of wood or a material presenting the appearance of wood, said posts strutting the two walls at the same time as they fasten the panels of the outer wall one after the other , and said edge profile sections are each adapted to overlap both the inner wall and the outer wall. A fortiori the provisions of the invention can be particularly interesting in the case of a double-walled pool as described in document FR 2 843 769 , which has an inner wall formed of metal panels, an outer cladding wall formed of panels of wood or a material having the appearance of wood, and posts or uprights of mixed structure with metal inner part and wooden outer part or in a material having the appearance of wood, said posts bridging the respective panels of the two walls at the same time that they solidarize one after the other, said profiled sections of coping each being adapted to overlap both an inner panel and an outer panel. We are then in the favorable case where the double wall is a substantial thickness, or substantial, which facilitates the effective support of the lip.

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 the present invention the profiled sections of coping are made of wood or a material having the appearance of 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 opposite lateral tabs which are adapted to engage in respective cavities of the confronting ends of two adjacent profiled sections and which are arranged to exert an elastic force in said cells to maintain said profiled sections in correct relative position in the transverse direction.

De façon simple, chaque bride comporte des goujons latéraux opposés qui sont propres à s'emboîter dans des alvéoles respectives des extrémités affrontées de deux tronçons profilés adjacents de manière à maintenir lesdites extrémités dans un positionnement relatif vertical correct.In a simple manner, each flange comprises opposite lateral studs which are adapted to fit into respective cavities of the facing ends of two adjacent profiled sections so as to maintain said ends in a correct vertical relative positioning.

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, it is able to perfectly position two successive profiled sections both vertically and horizontally, which leads to a good visual appearance of the lip. In addition, this precise relative positioning is achieved without the assembly members are 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 outwardly to form the aforesaid legs, the two legs located at a distance from one another. same end of the flange forming between them an angle substantially equal to the angle formed between them two consecutive panels of the walls. In addition, it can then be provided in a simple manner, that the two longitudinal wings of each flange are pierced with at least two respective holes and that a rod is engaged through these holes protruding from both sides outwardly to the two wings, the protruding portions of the rod forming two opposing studs. Such a flange may then be advantageously metallic, in particular formed by a metal plate cut-folded or formed of injected metal, so that it is mechanically resistant and 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 the means according to the invention, and in particular of the above mentioned flange, allows a simple adaptation to the exact contour of the pool, in particular an adaptation to the angle formed between them. consecutive panels according to the number of these panels, that is to say according to the precise polygonal shape of the pool.

Pour parfaire l'aspect esthétique de la margelle, on peut prévoir un boîtier d'habillage pour recouvrir la bride de liaison.To complete the aesthetic appearance of the coping, it can provide a casing housing 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 may be suitable for all the configurations that it is desired to give the lip, that it extends only on a portion of the periphery of the pool or that it extends over the entire periphery .

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 conjunction with the accompanying drawings, reference is made more specifically to the type of double-walled above-ground pool described in the document FR 2 843 769 because it is a privileged, though not exclusive, field of 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 comprises an inner wall 1 formed of metal panels 2 arranged in a closed contour, in principle polygonal, this inner wall being mechanically resistant to oppose the thrust of the water, and a wall exterior 3 formed of panels 4 of wood or a material having the appearance of wood (it may be solid panels or preferably panels formed of a stack of planks), this outer wall being essentially intended for dressing. Poles 5 with a mixed structure, with inner metal part 6 and outer part 7 made of wood or a material having the appearance of wood, cooperate with the ends of the panels of the two walls and brace them so that the two walls remain spaced apart. from each other so that the wood or wood-like material does not come in contact with water or moisture condensation 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 shown in figure 1 the inner metal part 6 of the post is in the form of a suitable conformation profile, for example a U-shaped iron which partially encloses the outer part 7 of wood or a material having the appearance of wood, and this profile metal may have an upper flap that 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 portion 7, for its part, is in the form of a profile made of a material having the appearance of wood, which profile comprises various cells 10 of longitudinal extent. The term "cells" is intended to mean channels passing through the profile over the entire length thereof and opening at its two ends, or sections or blind primers of such channels dug in the vicinity of 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 the panels 2 and 4 and parts 6 and 7 of the post 5 are located at approximately the same level.

D'autres détails concernant cette piscine pourront être trouvés dans le document FR 2 843 769 .Further details about this pool can be found in the document 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 apparaître diverses alvéoles, qui peuvent s'étendre sur toute la longueur du tronçon 11.The lip which one wishes to equip the pool above is formed of profiled sections made of any suitable material, here preferably wood or a material having the appearance of wood to visually match with the cladding wall. To the figure 2 is represented the end of such a section profiled edge 11, made of a material having the appearance of wood. The profile 11 comprises a plate 12 and two longitudinal wings 13 in return downwards. The end face 14 reveals various cells, which can extend over the entire length of the 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, the presence, in the two wings or on the right of the two wings 13, of two respective cells 15 which preferably have a section of vertically elongated shape. Note also the presence of two cells 16 spaced apart from each other and having a horizontally elongated 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 lip portions 11. In particular, if it is desired to form a wide margin, it is possible to juxtapose several (for example two) profiled sections edge to edge to obtain 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.To the figure 4 is shown in a cavalier view a connection arrangement of two segments of the edge as shown in the figure 2 these two sections of lip being presented spaced 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.On the figure 4 the two cladding panels 4 framing the outer part 7 of a post 5 are seen. On the upper face of the post 5 is mounted a substantially rigid plate 17, for example in the form of a metal plate, which forms a relatively flat and stable bearing surface and of which at least the lateral dimensions may possibly be greater than those of the upper face of the pole 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 elongate piece extending approximately along the bisector of the angle that form between them the two covering panels 4 and the two sections of the edge 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 in plan view at the figure 3 , comprises a U-shaped body 19 having a substantially flat bottom 20 resting on the plate 17 and two longitudinal wings 21. The ends of the wings 21 are folded outwardly and form four respective elastic tabs 22, the two tabs 22 situated at the same end of the connecting flange 18 forming between them an angle substantially equal to the angle formed by them between them. two covering panels 4 and 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 post 5. For this purpose, the plate 17 is provided with holes 23 and the bottom 20 of the connecting flange 18 is provided with elongate slots 24 (for to facilitate its correct positioning) located opposite the holes 23. In particular, it can be provided two holes 23 and two coincidence slots 24 which are respectively arranged to the right of the inner portion 6 and outer 7 of the pole 5. For example, a hole 23 and a lumen 24 can be aligned with the tapped hole 9 shown in FIG. figure 1 at the top of the inner portion 6 of the pole 5, while the other hole 23 and the other lumen 24 may be located opposite the solid zone 25. visible at the figure 1 in the outer part 7 of the pole 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 shown in figures 3 and 4 these studs 25 are four in number, two to two opposite. In practice, it can be provided that the wings 21 are pierced with holes vis-à-vis and two rods 26 are engaged to extend transversely, the ends of these rods projecting outwardly from 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.To be mechanically strong, it is preferable that the connecting flange 18 is metallic, obtained for example by a cutting-folding operation and by injection molding of a metal alloy.

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 visible at figure 4 , the assembly of the lip portions 11 is carried out by introducing the tabs 22 into the end cells 15, the tabs being resiliently abutting against the wall of the respective cells and leading to a correct relative positioning of the segments of the lip in the transverse direction, at the same time as the studs 25 are introduced into the aforementioned cells 16: by giving the studs 25 a diameter substantially equal to the small dimension of the cells 16, a correct relative positioning of two consecutive edge segments in the vertical direction; preferably it is also possible to ensure that the spacing of the two rods 26 is such that the pins 25 engage in the cells 16 near the respective ends thereof so as to create a mechanical stop limiting the 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.To the figure 5 , the two lip portions 11 are shown in the completed mounting position, the tabs 22 pressed into the cells 15 and the two sections 11 abutting against the plate 18.

A la figure 6, un boîtier d'habillage 27 est mis en place sur la bride de liaison 18 pour camoufler celle-ci. Dans l'exemple illustré, le boîtier 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 boîtier 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.To the figure 6 , a casing box 27 is placed on the connecting flange 18 to camouflage it. In the illustrated example, the casing box 27 is formed of a metal strip shaped in correspondence with the shape of the outer contour of the plate 12 and the flanges 13 of the lip portions 11; the casing box 27 can then be screwed at 28 on tabs 29 provided at the ends of the connecting flange 18. Of course, many possibilities are possible, alternatively, for finishing the connection of the two segments of the lip.

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 arrangements just described are intended for the implementation of a wooden coping or a material having the appearance of wood on a double-walled mixed structure swimming pool such as described in the document FR 2 843 769 , with exterior cladding panels of wood or material with the appearance of wood. In this case, the edge portions overlap the upper edges of the two sets of inner and outer panels 3 and 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 particular type of pool, and in particular are not related to the nature or the number of walls. Therefore, these means can also be used to position a coping on a single-walled pool (for example formed of a continuous sheet supported by the posts or formed of metal panels joined by the poles), a fortiori if this single wall is relatively thick (eg wooden wall or the like formed of a stack of planks). The effective implementation of the invention is more related to the section of the posts 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 noted that, particularly in the case of a single-walled pool, the coping may have a cantilevered door, particularly towards the outside: the assembly and assembly means according to the invention may be suitable in such a case to 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 lip, when present, extends over the entire periphery of a pool, it is still possible, in the context of the invention, to equip only part of the pool area if necessary or desired.
