Description

La présente invention concerne une structure d'habillage adaptée pour couvrir un dispositif d'enroulement/ déroulement hors-sol d'un volet roulant pour piscine, et une piscine comportant cette structure. L'invention s'applique notamment à l'habillage d'un enrouleur hors-sol motorisé pour volet roulant de type à lames articulées.The present invention relates to a covering structure adapted to cover a winding device / unwinding of a rolling shutter for swimming pool, and a swimming pool comprising this structure. The invention applies in particular to the cladding of a motorized above-ground roller for rolling shutter type articulated blades.

Les installations de couverture pour bassin de piscine peuvent comporter de manière connue un volet roulant à lames articulées qui est adapté pour flotter sur l'eau du bassin. Ce volet roulant est destiné à recouvrir le bassin, notamment en vue de le protéger de l'environnement extérieur et de réchauffer l'eau par effet de serre. Un tel volet roulant est usuellement monté en l'une de ses extrémités sur un enrouleur d'axe horizontal qui est prévu dans un compartiment de la piscine adjacent à l'une des parois d'extrémité du bassin (ce compartiment est parfois appelé « puits » par l'homme du métier), pour dérouler et enrouler le volet roulant sous la commande d'un moyen de commande approprié à travers une fente ménagée dans cette paroi d'extrémité, respectivement en vue de son déploiement sur le plan d'eau et de son retrait de celui-ci.The swimming pool cover installations may comprise, in known manner, a roller shutter with articulated blades which is adapted to float on the water of the pool. This roller shutter is intended to cover the basin, especially to protect it from the outside environment and to heat the water by the greenhouse effect. Such a shutter is usually mounted at one end on a horizontal axis winder which is provided in a pool compartment adjacent to one of the end walls of the basin (this compartment is sometimes called "well" By the person skilled in the art), for unwinding and winding the shutter under the control of a suitable control means through a slot in said end wall, respectively for deployment on the water and his withdrawal from it.

Les structures d'habillage existantes sur le marché pour des enrouleurs hors-sol (par opposition à des enrouleurs immergés) sont constituées de structures fixes composites comportant une armature sur laquelle sont fixées des lames de finition dans le sens de la largeur du bassin, de sorte à présenter une rigidité satisfaisante. Ces structures sont montées à demeure autour de l'enrouleur, et elles présentent typiquement une forme de caisson de section carrée, dont un premier bord longitudinal est monté en appui sur deux plages en vis-à-vis du rebord périphérique de la piscine, et dont un second bord longitudinal est monté sur le sol ou bien sur une plage d'extrémité de ce rebord.The existing cladding structures on the market for above-ground reels (as opposed to submerged reels) consist of composite fixed structures comprising a reinforcement on which are fixed finishing blades in the direction of the width of the basin, so as to present a satisfactory rigidity. These structures are permanently mounted around the winder, and they typically have a box-like shape of square section, of which a first longitudinal edge is mounted in abutment on two beaches vis-à-vis the peripheral edge of the pool, and a second longitudinal edge is mounted on the ground or on an end range of this flange.

Un inconvénient majeur de ces structures d'habillage connues est qu'elles rendent difficile, voire impossible, l'accès à tout ou partie de l'enrouleur et en outre au moyen d'aspiration du système de filtration qui est fixé à la paroi d'extrémité de la piscine (ce moyen d'aspiration, parfois appelé « skimmer » ou écumoir par l'homme du métier, est raccordé à une canalisation où circule l'eau aspirée par la pompe vers le filtre, afin d'intercepter les saletés en suspension à la surface de l'eau). En particulier, dans le cas répandu où ce moyen d'aspiration est disposé en dessous de l'enrouleur, l'accessibilité à son « panier-filtre » est problématique, en raison de la présence à demeure de la structure d'habillage autour de l'enrouleur.A major disadvantage of these known cladding structures is that they make it difficult, if not impossible, access to all or part of the reel and further by means of suction of the filtration system which is attached to the wall. end of the pool (this suction means, sometimes called skimmer or skimmer by the skilled person, is connected to a pipe where circulates the water drawn by the pump to the filter, in order to intercept the dirt suspended on the surface of the water). In particular, in the widespread case where this suction means is arranged below the reel, the accessibility to its "filter basket" is problematic, due to the permanent presence of the cladding structure around the reel.

Un autre inconvénient de ces structures d'habillage actuelles est qu'elles sont fabriquées sur mesure en fonction, d'une part, des dimensions du bassin de la piscine et, d'autre part, de la motorisation spécifiquement utilisée pour l'enrouleur, et qu'elles ne peuvent pas être ajustées in situ à des dimensions particulières du bassin ni autour d'enrouleurs hors-sol existants.Another disadvantage of these current cladding structures is that they are custom-made depending, on the one hand, the size of the pool of the pool and, on the other hand, the motorization specifically used for the winder, and that they can not be adjusted in situ to particular dimensions of the pool or around existing aboveground reels.

Un autre inconvénient de ces structures d'habillages actuelles est que le bas du bord longitudinal de ces structures qui enjambe le bassin ne forme pas de cloison entre le compartiment équipé de l'enrouleur et le reste du bassin qui soit ajustable en fonction du niveau d'eau dans la piscine, comme exigé par la norme NF-P 90-308.Another disadvantage of these current cladding structures is that the bottom of the longitudinal edge of these structures that spans the pool does not form a partition between the compartment equipped with the reel and the rest of the basin which is adjustable depending on the level of in the pool, as required by NF-P 90-308.

Un but de la présente invention est de proposer une structure d'habillage adaptée pour couvrir un dispositif d'enroulement/ déroulement (i.e. enrouleur) hors-sol d'un volet roulant pour une piscine délimitée par un rebord périphérique, ladite structure comportant au moins un bord d'appui destiné à être monté en appui sur ledit rebord parallèlement à l'axe d'enroulement/déroulement dudit dispositif dans une position de couverture où ladite structure enjambe ledit dispositif, qui remédie à l'ensemble des inconvénients précités.An object of the present invention is to provide a covering structure adapted to cover a device for winding / unrolling (ie winder) above ground of a rolling shutter for a pool bounded by a peripheral edge, said structure comprising at least a bearing edge intended to be mounted in abutment on said flange parallel to the axis of winding / unwinding of said device in a covering position where said structure straddles said device, which overcomes all of the aforementioned drawbacks.

A cet effet, une structure d'habillage selon l'invention comporte au moins un module de couverture monté mobile sur ledit bord d'appui en étant supporté par ce dernier, ledit bord d'appui étant conçu pour rigidifier ladite structure, de sorte à faire passer réversiblement ladite structure de ladite position de couverture à au moins une position d'ouverture où elle libère un espace d'accès autour dudit dispositif sur toute ou partie de sa longueur.For this purpose, a covering structure according to the invention comprises at least one cover module mounted movably on said support edge by being supported by the latter, said support edge being designed for rigidifying said structure, so as to pass reversibly said structure from said cover position to at least one open position where it releases an access space around said device over all or part of its length.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit ou chaque module de couverture peut être articulé sur ledit bord d'appui.According to another characteristic of the invention, said or each cover module can be articulated on said support edge.

On notera que ce montage mobile du ou des modules de couverture sur ce bord d'appui de la structure d'habillage permet d'accéder facilement à tout ou partie de l'espace entourant le dispositif d'enroulement/déroulement (par exemple pour le graissage de l'arbre dudit dispositif) et, en particulier, au panier-filtre précité qui est typiquement localisé sur la paroi verticale d'extrémité de la piscine, laquelle est recouverte par ledit dispositif dans ladite position de couverture. Les divers travaux d'entretien et de maintenance du dispositif d'enroulement/ déroulement et de la piscine (nettoyage du panier-filtre, notamment) s'en trouvent ainsi facilités.It will be noted that this mobile assembly of the covering module or modules on this support edge of the covering structure makes it possible to easily access all or part of the space surrounding the winding / unwinding device (for example for the lubricating the shaft of said device) and, in particular, said filter basket which is typically located on the vertical end wall of the pool, which is covered by said device in said cover position. The various maintenance and servicing of the winding / unwinding device and the swimming pool (cleaning of the filter basket, in particular) are thus facilitated.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ladite structure d'habillage comporte avantageusement plusieurs modules de couverture rigides dont le nombre et/ou la largeur sont choisis de sorte à couvrir toute la longueur dudit dispositif et qui sont tous montés amovibles sur ledit même bord d'appui, lequel est destiné à être monté sur ledit rebord en enjambant ladite piscine, de telle sorte que chaque module soit mobile indépendamment de l'autre ou des autres module(s) pour occuper ladite position de couverture ou ladite position d'ouverture.According to another characteristic of the invention, said cladding structure advantageously comprises several rigid cover modules whose number and / or width are chosen so as to cover the entire length of said device and which are all mounted removable on said same edge support, which is intended to be mounted on said flange by stepping over said pool, so that each module is movable independently of the other module (s) to occupy said cover position or said open position .

On notera que ce montage amovible et modulaire permet d'ajuster aisément ladite structure d'habillage aux dimensions du bassin, telles que sa la largeur, et à celles du dispositif d'enroulement/ déroulement.It should be noted that this removable and modular assembly makes it possible to easily adjust said covering structure to the dimensions of the basin, such as its width, and to those of the winding / unwinding device.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit ou chaque module de couverture comporte un bord libre adapté pour être soulevé réversiblement du sol ou dudit rebord lors du passage de ladite position de couverture à ladite position d'ouverture (ce bord libre est ainsi destiné à reposer à proximité d'une paroi d'extrémité adjacente de la piscine), sous la commande d'un bord de commande que comporte ledit ou chaque module à l'opposé dudit bord libre et qui est articulé sur ledit bord d'appui selon un axe d'articulation parallèle à ce dernier.According to another characteristic of the invention, said or each cover module comprises a free edge adapted to be raised reversibly from the ground or said flange during the passage of said cover position to said open position (this free edge is thus intended to rest near an adjacent end wall of the pool), under the control of a control edge that includes or each said module the opposite of said free edge and which is articulated on said support edge along an axis of articulation parallel to the latter.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bord de commande dudit ou de chaque module peut être adapté pour coopérer avec des moyens de guidage en basculement qui sont formés sur ledit bord d'appui et qui sont pourvus de moyens de mise en butée angulaire lors du basculement pour l'obtention de ladite position d'ouverture, avantageusement de sorte à former une articulation de type à fin de course par double butée.According to another characteristic of the invention, the control edge of said or each module may be adapted to cooperate with tilting guide means which are formed on said support edge and which are provided with angular abutment means when tilting to obtain said open position, advantageously so as to form a type of articulation at the end of the race by double stop.

Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de guidage et lesdits moyens de mise en butée peuvent être formés sur un même profilé fixe qui forme ledit bord d'appui.Advantageously, said guide means and said abutment means may be formed on the same fixed section which forms said abutment edge.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ladite structure peut comporter en outre une lame qui est montée solidaire dudit profilé fixe à l'intérieur et le long de ce dernier et qui est destinée à former à une hauteur réglable, partiellement en dessous dudit profilé fixe et au-dessus dudit volet roulant, une cloison mobile et verrouillable de séparation entre un compartiment de ladite piscine qui est équipé dudit dispositif et le reste du bassin de ladite piscine.According to another characteristic of the invention, said structure may further comprise a blade which is integral with said fixed profile inside and along the latter and which is intended to form at an adjustable height, partially below said profile. fixed and above said roller shutter, a movable and lockable separating partition between a compartment of said swimming pool which is equipped with said device and the rest of the pool of said swimming pool.

On notera que suivant le niveau d'eau dans la piscine, on peut ainsi positionner verticalement cette lame et la verrouiller en position, par exemple au moyen d'une équerre disposée en dessous dudit profilé fixe, de manière à laisser un espace allant par exemple de 40 mm à 150 mm entre le bord inférieur de ladite lame et le volet roulant disposé en contrebas, conformément à la norme précitée NF-P 90-308.It will be noted that depending on the level of water in the pool, it is thus possible to position this blade vertically and to lock it in position, for example by means of a bracket disposed below said fixed profile, so as to leave a space ranging for example 40 mm to 150 mm between the lower edge of said blade and the shutter disposed below, in accordance with the aforementioned standard NF-P 90-308.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit bord de commande décrit de préférence une rotation selon un angle aigu entre lesdites positions de couverture et d'ouverture, et ladite structure est avantageusement adaptée pour présenter un centre de gravité qui, dans lesdites positions de couverture et d'ouverture, est respectivement situé en deçà et au-delà dudit axe d'articulation par rapport au bord libre dudit ou de chaque module, de telle sorte que ladite structure soit autostable dans chacune desdites positions et cela sur toute la largeur du bassin.According to another characteristic of the invention, said control edge preferably describes a rotation at an acute angle between said cover and opening positions, and said structure is advantageously adapted to present a center of gravity which, in said positions of cover and opening, is respectively located below and beyond said axis of articulation relative to the free edge of said or each module, so that said structure is free-standing in each of said positions and that over the entire width of the basin.

Le basculement dudit ou de chaque module de couverture est ainsi sécurisé par cet emplacement du centre de gravité d'un côté ou de l'autre de l'axe d'articulation, selon la position obtenue, ce qui confère une auto-stabilité satisfaisante à la structure d'habillage dans chaque position de couverture ou d'ouverture.The tilting of said or each cover module is thus secured by this location of the center of gravity on one side or the other of the hinge axis, according to the position obtained, which confers a satisfactory self-stability to the covering structure in each covering or opening position.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, lesdits moyens de guidage peuvent avantageusement comporter deux rampes de guidage sensiblement concentriques par rapport audit axe d'articulation et définissant des surfaces de contact avec ledit bord de commande qui sont sensiblement en arc de cylindre, lesdits moyens de mise en butée pouvant être formés par les extrémités respectives desdites rampes.According to another characteristic of the invention, said guide means may advantageously comprise two guide ramps substantially concentric with respect to said articulation axis and defining contact surfaces with said control edge which are substantially in a cylinder arc, said means of abutment being able to be formed by the respective ends of said ramps.

Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de guidage peuvent comprendre :

  • une rampe convexe qui est formée autour dudit axe d'articulation et qui est adaptée pour guider en basculement une portion articulée en arc de cylindre concave dudit bord de commande, et
  • une rampe concave de diamètre supérieur à celui de ladite rampe convexe, qui est située en deçà dudit axe d'articulation par rapport au bord libre dudit ou de chaque module et qui est adaptée pour guider par contact une portion d'extrémité dudit bord de commande, du fait du guidage de ladite portion articulée par ladite rampe convexe.

La structure d'habillage 1 selon l'invention illustrée à la figure 1 est destinée à couvrir un enrouleur hors-sol 2 motorisé pour volet roulant 3 qui est monté à proximité immédiate d'une extrémité 4 d'un rebord périphérique 5 d'une piscine 6, par l'intermédiaire de deux montants 7 (un seul est visible à la figure 1) respectivement solidaires des deux extrémités de l'arbre 2a de l'enrouleur 2 et fixés sur deux plages 5a et 5b en vis-à-vis du rebord 5. Cette structure 1 est montée en appui sur ces deux plages 5a et 5b en surplombant l'intérieur de la piscine 6 via un profilé fixe d'appui 8 qu'elle comporte, de sorte à pouvoir couvrir l'enrouleur 2 - sur lequel est au moins partiellement enroulé le volet 3 - en l'enjambant transversalement. Ce profilé d'appui 8 peut être réalisé en un matériau métallique, par exemple l'aluminium.The cladding structure 1 according to the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 is intended to cover an above ground motorized roller shutter 2 which is mounted in the immediate vicinity of an end 4 of a peripheral rim 5 of a pool 6, via two uprights 7 (only one is visible in Figure 1) respectively secured to both ends of the shaft 2a of the winder 2 and fixed on two beaches 5a and 5b vis-à-vis the rim 5. This structure 1 is mounted in abutment on these two beaches 5a and 5b overlooking the interior of the pool 6 via a fixed support section 8 that it comprises, so as to cover the reel 2 - on which is at least partially wound the shutter 3 - by stepping transversely. This support profile 8 may be made of a metallic material, for example aluminum.

La structure d'habillage 1 comporte avantageusement plusieurs modules de couverture 9 et 10 (au nombre de deux dans l'exemple de la figure 1) qui comportent chacun un panneau rigide 9a, 10a à surface gauche sensiblement en forme de voûte, de sorte à épouser le contour cylindrique de l'enrouleur 2, et dont le nombre et/ou la largeur sont choisis de sorte à couvrir toute la longueur de cet enrouleur 2. Chaque panneau 9a, 10a peut par exemple être à base de bois, de matière plastique, d'un matériau métallique tel que l'aluminium ou encore d'un composite.The covering structure 1 advantageously comprises several cover modules 9 and 10 (two in number in the example of FIG. 1) each comprising a rigid panel 9a, 10a with a substantially vaulted left surface, so as to to marry the cylindrical contour of the winder 2, and whose number and / or the width are chosen so as to cover the entire length of the winder 2. Each panel 9a, 10a may for example be based on wood, plastic , a metallic material such as aluminum or a composite.

Ces modules de couverture 9 et 10 sont montés mobiles séparément sur le profilé d'appui 8 (dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, ils sont articulés sur ce dernier), de sorte que chaque module 9, 10 soit mobile indépendamment de l'autre pour occuper la position de couverture illustrée à la figure 1 pour le module 9, ou bien une position d'ouverture pour le module 10 libérant un espace d'accès autour de l'enrouleur 2 sur la largeur de ce module 10 (cette largeur correspondant ainsi sensiblement à la moitié de la longueur de l'enrouleur 2, dans cet exemple de réalisation).These cover modules 9 and 10 are mounted separately movable on the support section 8 (in the illustrated embodiment, they are articulated on the latter), so that each module 9, 10 is movable independently of the other to occupy the cover position illustrated in Figure 1 for the module 9, or an open position for the module 10 releasing an access space around the reel 2 over the width of the module 10 (this corresponding width thus substantially at half the length of the winder 2, in this embodiment).

A cet effet, chaque module 9, 10 comporte un bord libre 11 (dont la longueur définit la largeur précitée du module 9, 10) qui est adapté pour être soulevé réversiblement du rebord 5 lors du passage de la position de couverture à la position d'ouverture (cf. figure 2), sous la commande d'un bord de commande 12 que comporte ce module 9, 10 à l'opposé du bord libre 11 et qui est articulé sur le profilé d'appui 8 selon un axe d'articulation 13 parallèle à ce dernier (cf. figure 4).For this purpose, each module 9, 10 comprises a free edge 11 (the length of which defines the aforementioned width of the module 9, 10) which is adapted to be raised reversibly from the flange 5 during the transition from the covering position to the position of opening (see Figure 2), under the control of a control edge 12 that includes this module 9, 10 opposite the free edge 11 and which is articulated on the support profile 8 along an axis of articulation 13 parallel to the latter (see Figure 4).

Comme illustré aux figures 3 et 4, le bord de commande 12 de chaque module 9, 10 est adapté pour coopérer avec des moyens de guidage 14, 15 en basculement qui sont formés sur le profilé d'appui 8 et qui sont pourvus de moyens de mise en butée 16, 17 lors du basculement pour l'obtention de la position d'ouverture, de sorte à former une articulation de type à fin de course par double butée. Comme cela va être décrit ci-après, les moyens de guidage 14, 15 et les moyens de butée 16, 17 sont tous deux formés sur le profilé d'appui 8.As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the control edge 12 of each module 9, 10 is adapted to cooperate with guiding means 14, 15 which are formed on the support profile 8 and which are provided with abutment means 16, 17 during tilting to obtain the open position, so as to form a hinge type at the end of the race with double stop. As will be described below, the guide means 14, 15 and the abutment means 16, 17 are both formed on the support section 8.

Ces moyens de guidage 14, 15 comportent deux rampes de guidage concentriques par rapport à l'axe de basculement 13 et définissant des surfaces de contact avec le bord de commande 12 qui sont sensiblement en arc de cylindre, et ces moyens de mise en butée 16, 17 sont formés par les extrémités respectives de ces rampes.These guide means 14, 15 comprise two concentric guide ramps with respect to the tilting axis 13 and defining contact surfaces with the control edge 12 which are substantially in a cylinder arc, and these abutment means 16 , 17 are formed by the respective ends of these ramps.

Plus précisément, les moyens de guidage 14, 15 comprennent (cf. figure 4) :

  • une rampe convexe 14 qui est formée autour de l'axe 13 et qui est adaptée pour guider en basculement une portion articulée 12a en arc de cylindre concave du bord de commande 12, et
  • une rampe concave 15 de diamètre supérieur à celui de la rampe convexe 14, qui est située en deçà de l'axe 13 par rapport au bord libre 11 de chaque module 9, 10 et qui est adaptée pour guider par contact une portion d'extrémité 12b du bord de commande 12, du fait du guidage de la portion articulée 12a par la rampe convexe 14.
More specifically, the guiding means 14, 15 comprise (see FIG.
  • a convex ramp 14 which is formed around the axis 13 and which is adapted to guide an articulated arcuate portion 12a in a concave cylinder arc of the control edge 12, and
  • a concave ramp 15 of diameter greater than that of the convex ramp 14, which is located below the axis 13 relative to the free edge 11 of each module 9, 10 and which is adapted to guide an end portion by contact 12b of the control edge 12, because of the guide of the articulated portion 12a by the convex ramp 14.

Le bord de commande 12 de chaque module 9, 10 est en fait constitué dans cet exemple de réalisation d'un profilé mobile de section sensiblement en forme de « H », lequel comprend :

  • une portion de montage 12c en U adaptée pour enserrer le panneau 9a, 10a que comporte le module 9, 10 correspondant, et
  • la portion articulée 12a sensiblement en U, qui présente une âme 12aa commune à celle de la portion de montage 12c, une première aile 12ab se terminant par la portion d'extrémité 12b et une seconde aile 12ac formant avec cette âme 12aa une surface concave en arc de cylindre.
The control edge 12 of each module 9, 10 is in fact constituted in this embodiment of a mobile section section substantially shaped "H", which comprises:
  • a mounting portion 12c U adapted to grip the panel 9a, 10a that includes the corresponding module 9, 10, and
  • the articulated portion 12a substantially U, which has a core 12aa common to that of the mounting portion 12c, a first flange 12ab ending in the end portion 12b and a second flange 12ac forming with this core 12aa a concave surface in cylinder arc.

Le profilé d'appui 8 comporte essentiellement :

  • une poutre 8a de section sensiblement rectangulaire, qui est conçue pour présenter un module d'inertie optimal de sorte à résister aux efforts de flexion inhérents aux panneaux 9a et 10a et dont un petit côté 8aa forme sur sa face externe la rampe concave 15, laquelle prolonge vers le haut ce petit côté 8aa et se termine par une extrémité recourbée formant le premier moyen de butée 16 ;
  • un support de guidage 8b de section en forme de U renversé qui est relié à la poutre 8a et qui est adapté pour supporter via son âme 8ba la rampe convexe 14, ce support de guidage 8b ayant une aile 8bb commune à un grand côté de la poutre 8a ; et
  • la rampe convexe 14 s'étendant vers le haut à partir de cette aile commune 8bb et de section sensiblement en forme de « C », cette rampe 14 étant conçue pour recevoir en rotation la portion articulée 12a d'une extrémité du « C » à l'autre.
The support profile 8 essentially comprises:
  • a beam 8a of substantially rectangular section, which is designed to have an optimum modulus of inertia so as to withstand the bending stresses inherent in the panels 9a and 10a and whose small side 8aa forms on its external face the concave ramp 15, which extends upwards this small side 8aa and ends with a curved end forming the first stop means 16;
  • a guide support 8b of inverted U-shaped section which is connected to the beam 8a and which is adapted to support via its core 8ba the convex ramp 14, this guide support 8b having a wing 8bb common to a large side of the beam 8a; and
  • the convex ramp 14 extending upwards from this common wing 8bb and of substantially "C" shaped section, this ramp 14 being designed to receive in rotation the articulated portion 12a from one end of the "C" to the other.

De plus, la rampe convexe 14 forme, sous l'une des extrémités du « C », un renfoncement 18 qui présente une section en arc de cercle avec l'âme 8ba du support de guidage 8b et qui est agencé pour former le second moyen de butée 17 en bloquant la seconde aile 12ac lors de la rotation de la portion articulée 12a.In addition, the convex ramp 14 forms, at one of the ends of the "C", a recess 18 which has an arcuate section with the core 8ba of the guide support 8b and which is arranged to form the second means stop 17 by blocking the second wing 12ac during the rotation of the articulated portion 12a.

Comme illustré aux figures 5 et 6, la structure d'habillage 1 comporte en outre une lame d'ajustement 19 (illustrée partiellement dans deux positions haute et basse) qui est montée mobile à l'intérieur du support de guidage 8b du profilé d'appui 8 (partiellement entre les ailes 8bb et 8bc de ce support 8b) et qui est destinée à former à une hauteur réglable et verrouillable, partiellement en dessous du profilé 8 et au-dessus du volet roulant 3, une cloison verticale de séparation entre l'enrouleur 2 et le reste du bassin de la piscine 6 et de largeur égale à celle de ce bassin.As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the covering structure 1 further comprises an adjustment blade 19 (partially illustrated in two high and low positions) which is mounted movably inside the guide support 8b of the profile of FIG. support 8 (partially between the flanges 8bb and 8bc of this support 8b) and which is intended to form at an adjustable height and lockable, partially below the profile 8 and above the roller shutter 3, a vertical dividing partition between the l reel 2 and the rest of the pool basin 6 and width equal to that of this pool.

En fonction du niveau d'eau 20 dans la piscine, le positionnement et le verrouillage de cette lame 19 à une hauteur déterminée, avantageusement via une équerre (non illustrée) disposée en dessous du profilé d'appui 8, permet de laisser un espace approprié entre le bord inférieur de la lame 19 et le volet roulant 3 disposé sur l'eau 20. Cet espace peut aller par exemple de 40 mm à 150 mm (valeurs a et b respectivement minimale et maximale correspondant aux deux positions basse et haute de la lame 19 qui sont illustrées dans les parties inférieures droite et gauche de la figure 5). L'amplitude Δ de réglage de la translation verticale appliquée à cette lame 19 est illustrée à titre d'exemple dans le médaillon de la figure 6.Depending on the level of water 20 in the pool, the positioning and locking of this blade 19 to a specific height, preferably via a bracket (not shown) disposed below the support profile 8, allows to leave a suitable space between the lower edge of the blade 19 and the shutter 3 disposed on the water 20. This space can go for example from 40 mm to 150 mm (values a and b respectively minimum and maximum corresponding to the two low and high positions of the blade 19 which are shown in the lower right and left of Figure 5). The amplitude Δ of adjustment of the vertical translation applied to this blade 19 is illustrated by way of example in the medallion of FIG. 6.

Pour faire passer le ou chaque module 9, 10 de la position de couverture à la position d'ouverture illustrées aux figures 1 et 2, on procède de la manière suivante, comme détaillé à la figure 4.In order to pass the or each module 9, 10 from the covering position to the open position illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the procedure is as follows, as detailed in FIG. 4.

On exerce une force de traction dans le sens de la flèche A (cf. figure 1) sur le panneau 9a du module 9 concerné, ce qui a pour effet de guider le bord de commande 12 de ce module 9 en rotation par l'intermédiaire des deux rampes convexe 14 et concave 15 jusqu'à ce que la portion articulée 12a ait simultanément sa seconde aile 12ac et sa portion d'extrémité 12b qui viennent buter respectivement au fond 17 du renfoncement 18 formé sous le « C » précité et contre l'extrémité recourbée 16, formant ainsi une double butée angulaire. Comme cela est visible aux figures 2 et 4, le bord de commande 12 et le panneau 9a qu'il enserre décrivent ainsi un angle aigu α lors du passage de la position de couverture à la position d'ouverture.A pulling force is exerted in the direction of the arrow A (see FIG. 1) on the panel 9a of the module 9 concerned, which has the effect of guiding the control edge 12 of this module 9 in rotation through two convex ramps 14 and concave 15 until the articulated portion 12a simultaneously has its second wing 12ac and its end portion 12b abutting respectively at the bottom 17 of the recess 18 formed under the "C" above and against the curved end 16, thus forming a double angular abutment. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, the control edge 12 and the panel 9a which it encloses thus describe an acute angle α during the transition from the covering position to the open position.

Pour faire passer le ou chaque module 9, 10 de la position d'ouverture ainsi obtenue à la position de couverture, on exerce une force de poussée dans le sens de la flèche B (cf. figure 1) sur le panneau 10a du module 10 concerné, ce qui a pour effet de guider en sens inverse le bord de commande 12 de ce module 10 sur les deux rampes 14 et 15.In order to pass the or each module 9, 10 from the thus obtained opening position to the covering position, a pushing force is exerted in the direction of the arrow B (see FIG. 1) on the panel 10a of the module 10 concerned, which has the effect of guiding in the opposite direction the control edge 12 of this module 10 on the two ramps 14 and 15.

On notera que l'articulation à fin de course par double butée qui caractérise le montage mobile et amovible de chaque module 9, 10 sur le profilé fixe d'appui 8 permet de faire passer réversiblement et en toute sécurité ce module 9, 10 d'une position de couverture ou d'ouverture à l'autre.It will be noted that the articulation at the end of stroke by double stop that characterizes the movable and removable mounting of each module 9, 10 on the fixed support section 8 makes it possible to pass reversibly and safely this module 9, 10 d '. a position of cover or opening to another.
