Description

L'invention concerne un bassin de type piscine, conçu apte à être immergé dans un cours ou plan d'eau, comportant une structure portante sur laquelle sont fixés et/ou tendus des panneaux souples ou rigides formant les parois périphériques et le fond du bassin, ladite structure comportant une partie flottante comprenant un ou plusieurs flotteurs et une partie immergée pourvue d'éléments formant ballasts.The invention relates to a pool type pool, designed to be immersed in a course or body of water, comprising a load-bearing structure on which are fixed and / or stretched flexible or rigid panels forming the peripheral walls and the bottom of the pool said structure having a floating portion comprising one or more floats and a submerged portion provided with ballast elements.

La présente invention trouvera son application plus particulièrement dans le domaine des bassins d'agrément de type piscine présentant la particularité en ce qu'une telle piscine est implantée dans un milieu aquatique dont elle peut utiliser l'eau.The present invention will find its application more particularly in the field of pools swimming-type amenity having the particularity in that such a pool is located in an aquatic environment which it can use water.

A l'heure actuelle, il existe très peu de structures sécurisées susceptibles d'accueillir un large public pour des activités de baignades durant les périodes estivales.At present, there are very few secure structures that can accommodate a large public for bathing activities during the summer months.

De nombreuses municipalités souhaiteraient pouvoir s'équiper de telles structures sous forme de piscines publiques traditionnelles, mais ne peuvent le faire en raison des investissements importants nécessaires et qui dépassent habituellement les moyens dont ils disposent.Many municipalities would like to be able to build such structures in the form of traditional public swimming pools, but can not do so because of the large investments required and which usually exceed the means at their disposal.

Cette pénurie d'installation amène le public à fréquenter des sites de baignade naturels de type courant d'eau ou plan d'eau qui ne sont pas en mesure de leur offrir une sécurité équivalente.This lack of installation leads the public to frequent natural bathing sites of the type of water or body of water that are not able to offer them equivalent safety.

Même s'il est de plus en plus courant de réaliser sur ces sites naturels des aménagements adaptés à la baignade, de tels aménagements ne permettent pas de délimiter des espaces sécurisés restreints, parfaitement contrôlables.Although it is more and more common practice to develop bathing facilities on these natural sites, such These developments do not allow the delimitation of restricted, perfectly controllable secure spaces.

En particulier, il est très peu répandu des sites parfaitement délimités, non seulement en surface mais aussi en profondeur au niveau de ces cours ou plan d'eau, sans compter qu'il est très facile pour un usager d'échapper à la vigilance du personnel de sécurité pour franchir les zones de délimitation et rejoindre des eaux libres et dangereuses.In particular, there are very few perfectly defined sites, not only at the surface but also at depth in these courses or water bodies, not to mention that it is very easy for a user to escape the vigilance of the user. security personnel to cross the delimitation zones and reach open and dangerous waters.

De plus, ces eaux dans des sites naturels, même si elles sont de qualité adaptée à la baignade, sont très souvent chargées de particules qui ne permettent pas de visualiser le fond et de distinguer une personne en situation de noyade.In addition, these waters in natural sites, even if they are of suitable quality for swimming, are very often loaded with particles that do not make it possible to visualize the bottom and to distinguish a person in drowning situation.

L'on a d'ores et déjà conçu des bassins de type piscine flottante tel que décrite dans le document FR-2.860.819 . De telles piscines comportent une structure portante essentiellement constituée d'un assemblage de flotteurs modulaires formant une plage périphérique au bassin, sur le pourtour externe de cette plage étant ménagée une barrière de protection. Le bassin proprement dit est défini par un filet en forme de poche fixé à l'intérieur de la structure portante, ce filet étant lesté dans sa partie formant le fond du bassin.We have already designed floating pool type pools as described in the document FR-2860819 . Such swimming pools comprise a bearing structure consisting essentially of an assembly of modular floats forming a peripheral beach to the basin, on the outer periphery of this beach being provided a protective barrier. The pelvis itself is defined by a pocket-shaped net attached to the inside of the supporting structure, the net being weighted in its part forming the bottom of the basin.

Il paraît évident que la conception du bassin à partir d'un simple filet est très peu sécurisante.It seems obvious that the design of the pool from a single net is very insecure.

Si, en théorie, un tel filet « flottant » est susceptible d'être nettoyé, cette opération ne peut être menée à bien qu'après dépose de ce filet pour pouvoir l'amener sur un site de nettoyage adapté.If, theoretically, such a net "floating" is likely to be cleaned, this operation can be completed after removal of the net to bring it to a suitable cleaning site.

Il est encore connu des piscines aux caractéristiques similaires dont le bassin, au lieu d'être conçu par un filet, est réalisé à partir de panneaux perforés assemblés. Si de tels panneaux confèrent à la structure du bassin une certaine rigidité, ils confèrent une certaine lourdeur à l'ensemble sans compter que ces panneaux doivent être conçus en des matériaux répondant à certaines qualités, telles que la tenue à l'oxydation, sans compter qu'au contact de ces panneaux, il y a lieu d'éviter tout risque de blessure.It is still known swimming pools with similar characteristics whose basin, instead of being designed by a net, is made from assembled perforated panels. If such panels give the structure of the basin a certain rigidity, they confer a certain heaviness on the whole besides that these panels must be conceived in materials answering certain qualities, such as the resistance to the oxidation, without counting that with the contact of these panels, there is a risk of injury.

On connait également par le document DE-U-203 00 710 , un bassin flottant constitué de parois périphériques et d'un fond rendu solidaire d'une structure portante définissant un pont périphérique et comportant des éléments flottants. Des corps creux sous forme de ballasts sont encore répartis autour des parois périphériques du bassin en s'étendant depuis le bord supérieur de ce dernier en direction du fond. Au travers de ces ballasts qui peuvent être gonflés d'air ou remplis d'eau, la profondeur d'mmersion du bassin peut être ajustée tout comme son assiette. Ce bassin comporte toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.We also know from the document DE-U-203 00 710 , a floating basin consisting of peripheral walls and a bottom secured to a load-bearing structure defining a peripheral bridge and comprising floating elements. Hollow bodies in the form of ballasts are still distributed around the peripheral walls of the basin, extending from the upper edge of the latter towards the bottom. Through these ballasts that can be inflated with air or filled with water, the depth of mmersion of the basin can be adjusted as its plate. This basin has all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Ces conceptions connues de bassins flottants de type piscine posent très clairement le problème du nettoyage.These known designs of pool-type floating tanks clearly pose the problem of cleaning.

En réalité, ce nettoyage est un problème crucial pour ces piscines immergées dans des cours ou plans d'eau, d'autant qu'il est très souvent utilisé l'eau dans le milieu duquel est immergée la piscine en raison de la structure perforée des parois. Si, au travers d'une telle structure, l'eau est systématiquement renouvelée, toutes les particules en suspension dans le milieu naturel se retrouvent nécessairement à l'intérieur du bassin, particules qui viennent alors se déposer le long des parois en favorisant le développement d'algues souvent tenaces et difficiles à enlever.In reality, this cleaning is a crucial problem for these pools immersed in water courses or bodies, especially as it is very often used water in the middle of which is immersed the pool because of the perforated structure of walls. If, through such a structure, the water is systematically renewed, all the particles suspended in the natural environment are necessarily found inside the basin, particles that are then deposited along the walls by promoting the development algae often stubborn and difficult to remove.

Un autre problème de ces bassins est leur fabrication en vu de leur mise à l'eau. S'agissant de bassins destinés à accueillir du public, ils sont nécessairement de grandes dimensions et représentant un poids important, à tel point qu'il est utile de faire appel à des moyens de transport et de manutention exceptionnels.Another problem of these basins is their manufacture in view of their launching. In the case of public pools, they are necessarily large and of significant use exceptional means of transport and handling.

En fait, ces bassins ne peuvent être transportés assemblés, justement en raison de leurs dimensions hors normes. Il est donc d'usage de les concevoir en bordure ou à proximité du plan ou cours d'eau dans lequel sont prévus d'être installé.In fact, these tanks can not be transported assembled, precisely because of their dimensions outside standards. It is therefore customary to design them on the edge or near the plan or watercourse in which are planned to be installed.

Se pose alors l'accès, non seulement sur le site d'assemblage, mais aussi au plan ou cours d'eau à des engins de levage de taille adaptée aux dimensions et poids de ces bassins pour leur mise à l'eau. Evidemment l'on peut concevoir des ouvrages adaptés de génie civil. Or, l'intérêt principal de ces bassins flottants est d'être de conception économique en comparaison à des bassins en dur, intérêt qui est amenuisé au travers de l'obligation de concevoir des accès adaptés à des engins de levage ou des ouvrages spécialement destinés pour la mise à l'eau.This raises the access not only to the assembly site, but also to the plan or watercourse to lifting gear of size adapted to the size and weight of these basins for their launching. Obviously one can conceive adapted works of civil engineering. However, the main interest of these floating basins is to be of economic design in comparison to hard basins, interest which is reduced through the obligation to design adapted access to lifting gear or works specially intended for launching.

A noter que pour répondre au problème du nettoyage, ces bassins doivent être régulièrement sortis de l'eau. C'est donc périodiquement que se posent ces problèmes de manutention.Note that to answer the problem of cleaning, these pools must be regularly removed from the water. It is therefore periodically that these handling problems arise.

La présente invention se veut à même de répondre aux inconvénients des bassins type piscine immergée connus en proposant une solution avantageuse à même de répondre tant aux contraintes de nettoyage que de la qualité d'eau à respecter sur un tel site destiné à être ouvert au public.The present invention is intended to meet the drawbacks of pools type submerged swimming pool known by providing an advantageous solution able to meet both the constraints of cleaning and the quality of water to be respected on such a site to be open to the public .

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un bassin, type piscine, conçu apte à être immergé dans un cours ou plan d'eau, comportant une structure portante sur laquelle sont fixés et/ou tendus des panneaux souples ou rigides formant les parois périphériques et le fond du bassin, ladite structure comportant une partie flottante comprenant un ou plusieurs flotteurs et une partie normalement immergée pourvue d'éléments formant ballasts. Tout particulièrement, ladite partie immergée comporte une structure périphérique verticale surmontant une structure sensiblement horizontale conçue à la manière d'un radeau et comportant au moins en partie les éléments formant ballast pour faire émerger ou surnager ledit bassin sur le plan ou cours d'eau d'une telle façon que le bassin vient à émerger hors de l'eau dans son intégralité et la partie flottante est supportée par la partie normalement immergée.For this purpose, the invention relates to a swimming pool, designed to be immersed in a course or body of water, comprising a supporting structure on which are fixed and / or stretched flexible or rigid panels forming the peripheral walls and the bottom of the basin, said structure comprising a floating portion comprising one or more floats and a normally submerged portion provided with ballast elements. All particularly, said submerged portion comprises a vertical peripheral structure surmounting a substantially horizontal structure designed in the manner of a raft and comprising at least partly the ballast elements to make emerge or float said basin on the plane or stream of water in such a way that the pool just emerges out of the water in its entirety and the floating part is supported by the normally submerged part.

Selon une particularité avantageuse de la présente invention, il est associé à ce bassin des moyens de filtration d'eau. Tout particulièrement, ces moyens de filtration sont conçus aptes à filtrer l'eau prélevée extérieurement au bassin pour l'injecter dans ce dernier.According to an advantageous feature of the present invention, it is associated with this pool of water filtration means. In particular, these filtration means are designed to filter the water taken externally to the basin to inject it into the latter.

Un des avantages de la présente invention consiste en ce qu'au travers des ballasts que comporte la partie immergée de la structure portante, ledit bassin peut être émergé non seulement pour faciliter son nettoyage, mais aussi sa vidange et, surtout, son remplissage à l'aide d'une eau filtrée, bien que prélevée du milieu dans lequel le bassin est installé.One of the advantages of the present invention is that through the ballast that includes the immersed part of the supporting structure, said basin can be emerged not only to facilitate its cleaning, but also its emptying and, especially, its filling at the bottom. using filtered water, although taken from the medium in which the pond is installed.

De plus, le bassin vient à émerger hors de l'eau dans son intégralité et la partie flottante est supportée par la partie normalement immergée ce qui permet de préserver, autour du bassin même hors de l'eau, une plage de circulation facilitant les interventions d'entretien.In addition, the basin comes to emerge out of the water in its entirety and the floating part is supported by the normally submerged part which allows to preserve, around the basin even out of the water, a range of circulation facilitating interventions maintenance.

Quant aux parois, elles peuvent être ou non perforées, tout comme seulement une partie de ces parois peut comporter de telles perforations. De même en cas d'adoption d'une filtration, elles peuvent ne pas être perforées pour éviter un renouvellement d'eau au travers de ces parois mais par l'intermédiaire de systèmes de filtration. Il est encore possible, au travers de cette filtration et l'une ou l'autre paroi perforée, de créer, au travers du bassin un flux d'eau de renouvellement.As for the walls, they may or may not be perforated, just as only part of these walls may have such perforations. Similarly, in the case of adoption of a filtration, they may not be perforated to avoid a renewal of water through these walls but through filtration systems. It is still possible, through this filtration and one or the other wall perforated, to create, through the basin a flow of water renewal.

Toutefois, ces parois sont, selon le cas, non étanches une ou plusieurs ouvertures pour favoriser l'évacuation de l'eau en phase d'émersion du bassin. Eventuellement, cette ou ces ouvertures peuvent être conçues aptes à être obturées.However, these walls are, as the case, not sealed one or more openings to promote the evacuation of the water in the emergence phase of the basin. Optionally, this or these openings may be designed to be closed.

Un autre avantage consiste en ce qu'une fois émergé, le bassin présente un faible tirant d'eau facilitant ses déplacements, voire sa mise hors eau.Another advantage is that once emerged, the basin has a shallow draft facilitating its movement or its setting out of water.

La conception selon l'invention du bassin permet la mise en oeuvre, de manière avantageusement, d'un procédé de montage qui facilite considérablement la mise à l'eau de ce bassin.The design according to the invention of the basin allows the implementation, advantageously, of a mounting method which greatly facilitates the launching of the pool.

Ainsi, l'invention concerne encore un procédé de montage en vu de la mise à l'eau d'un bassin flottant consistant :

  • à assembler à terre ou directement sur l'eau la structure horizontale en forme de radeau de la partie immergée, intégrant des éléments formant ballasts ;
  • après mise à l'eau de cette structure horizontale, à monter sur cette dernière ladite structure verticale de la partie immergée;
  • à rapporter à ladite partie immergée, la partie flottante de la structure portante du bassin.
Thus, the invention also relates to a mounting method in view of the launching of a floating basin consisting of:
  • to assemble on the ground or directly on the water the horizontal structure in the form of a raft of the immersed part, integrating elements forming ballasts;
  • after launching this horizontal structure, to mount on said latter said vertical structure of the immersed part;
  • to report to said submerged portion, the floating portion of the bearing structure of the basin.

D'autres avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre se rapportant à un exemple de réalisation donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif.Other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description relating to an exemplary embodiment given by way of indication and not limitation.

Tel que représenté dans les figures des dessins ci-joints, la présente invention a trait à un bassin 1 type piscine conçu apte à être immergé dans un plan ou cours d'eau 2 que l'on a voulu illustrer dans la figure 1.As shown in the figures of the accompanying drawings, the present invention relates to a basin 1 type swimming pool designed to be immersed in a plan or stream 2 that we wanted to illustrate in the figure 1 .

Tout particulièrement, cette dernière laisse apparaître la berge 3 à laquelle peuvent être appontés de tels bassins 1, 1A, 1B, 1C à l'aide de pontons de liaison 4 connus en soi.In particular, the latter reveals the bank 3 to which can be braced such basins 1, 1A, 1B, 1C with connecting piers 4 known per se.

Plus particulièrement, un tel bassin 1 comporte une structure autoportante 5 prévue apte à recevoir, de manière tendue ou fixée des panneaux 6, 7, 8 concevant les parois périphériques et le fond de ce bassin 1.More particularly, such a basin 1 comprises a self-supporting structure 5 provided adapted to receive, stretched or fixed panels 6, 7, 8 designing the peripheral walls and the bottom of this basin 1.

Tout particulièrement, en ce qui concerne ladite structure portante 5, elle est composée d'une partie flottante 9 et d'une partie conçue pour être immergée 10. En ce qui concerne ladite partie flottante 9, elle est définie par un flotteur, préférentiellement une succession de flotteurs modulaires 11 assemblés les uns aux autres avantageusement à l'aide de moyens de liaison souples plus adaptés à la surface mobile sur laquelle vient reposer cette partie flottante 9. Une telle liaison souple facilite encore les opérations de montage et de démontage sur le plan ou cours d'eau 2.More particularly, with respect to said supporting structure 5, it is composed of a floating part 9 and a part designed to be immersed 10. With regard to said floating part 9, it is defined by a float, preferably a succession of modular floats 11 assembled to each other advantageously using means flexible connection more adapted to the movable surface on which this floating portion 9 rests. Such a flexible connection further facilitates assembly and disassembly operations on the plane or stream 2.

Comme il est visible sur cette figure 1, l'assemblage de ces flotteurs modulaires 11 peut conférer au bassin 1 des formes variées, rectangulaires ou autres, notamment circulaires 1A, 1B, 1C.As it is visible on this figure 1 , the assembly of these modular floats 11 can give the basin 1 various shapes, rectangular or other, including circular 1A, 1B, 1C.

Ladite partie flottante 9, définie par les flotteurs 11 constitue encore, de manière avantageuse, une plage de circulation périphérique laquelle est préférentiellement bordée, extérieurement, par une barrière de protection 12 adaptée. Tout particulièrement sur les flotteurs modulaires 11 peut être appliqué un revêtement de type bardage bois ou autre. Quant à la barrière de protection 12, elle peut être définie par un filet tendu entre une succession de poteaux conçus aptes à être fixés sur lesdits flotteurs 11 du côté externe au bassin 1.Said floating part 9, defined by the floats 11 is also advantageously a peripheral circulation range which is preferably bordered externally by a protective barrier 12 adapted. Especially on modular floats 11 can be applied a cladding type wood or other type. As for the protective barrier 12, it can be defined by a net stretched between a succession of designed posts adapted to be fixed on said floats 11 on the external side to the basin 1.

En ce qui concerne la partie immergée 10, elle comporte une structure sensiblement horizontale 13 et une structure périphérique verticale 14 surmontant la précédente et recevant, en partie supérieure, la partie flottante 9.As regards the immersed part 10, it comprises a substantially horizontal structure 13 and a vertical peripheral structure 14 surmounting the preceding one and receiving, in the upper part, the floating part 9.

Pour en revenir à la structure horizontale 13, elle est constituée d'une pluralité de longerons 15 reliés transversalement, deux à deux, par des poutrelles de liaison 16. Quant à la structure périphérique verticale 14, elle est définie par une pluralité d'éléments en V 17 fixés à leur base, selon le cas, aux longerons 15 ou aux poutrelles de liaison 16, et dont les sommets rejoignent la partie flottante 9 en l'occurrence les flotteurs modulaires 11.To return to the horizontal structure 13, it consists of a plurality of longitudinal members 15 connected transversely, two by two, by connecting beams 16. As for the vertical peripheral structure 14, it is defined by a plurality of elements V 17 fixed to their base, as the case, the longitudinal members 15 or connecting beams 16, and whose vertices join the floating part 9 in this case the modular floats 11.

Les panneaux 6, 7 et 8 concevant les parois périphériques et le fond du bassin 1 peuvent être conçus en un matériau rigide ou en toile souple. Elles peuvent être perforées ou ajourées, tout comme une ou l'autre paroi peut être ajourée la ou les autres non.The panels 6, 7 and 8 designing the peripheral walls and the bottom of the basin 1 can be designed in a rigid material or in soft cloth. They may be perforated or perforated, just as one or the other wall may be perforated or others not.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, ces panneaux 6, 7, 8 constituent une poche en matériau souple dont le bord supérieur 18 est conçu apte à être fixé notamment grâce à un profilé d'accrochage 19 au niveau de la partie flottante 9 de la structure portante 5. Par ailleurs, cette poche comporte, en périphérie du panneau 8 concevant le fond du bassin 1, des moyens d'accrochage 21 à des moyens de mise sous tension 22.In an advantageous embodiment, these panels 6, 7, 8 constitute a pocket of flexible material whose upper edge 18 is designed capable of being fixed in particular thanks to a hooking profile 19 at the floating portion 9 of the structure 5. Furthermore, this pocket comprises, on the periphery of the panel 8 designing the bottom of the basin 1, hooking means 21 to tensioning means 22.

Selon l'invention, ces moyens de mise sous tension 22 sont conçus aptes à exercer en périphérie au niveau du fond de la poche souple, des forces de traction vers l'extérieur du bassin à composantes essentiellement horizontales. L'objectif visé consiste en ce que, bien qu'étant souple, d'obtenir une faible déformation du fond 8 sous l'influence des usagers prenant appui sur ce dernier.According to the invention, these tensioning means 22 are designed to exert at the periphery at the level of the bottom of the flexible bag, tensile forces towards the outside of the basin with essentially horizontal components. The objective is that, while being flexible, to obtain a low deformation of the fund 8 under the influence of users relying on the latter.

Selon une particularité de la présente invention, le fond 8 est tendu au-dessus de la structure horizontale 13 laquelle reçoit un écran de protection 23 destiné à éviter qu'un usager ne traverse le fond du bassin 1 même en cas de rupture du panneau 8 concevant normalement ce fond.According to a feature of the present invention, the bottom 8 is stretched above the horizontal structure 13 which receives a protective screen 23 to prevent a user from crossing the bottom of the basin 1 even in case of breakage of the panel 8 normally designing this background.

A titre d'exemple de réalisation, l'écran de protection 23 peut être conçu par un réseau de sangles tendues entre les longerons 15.As an exemplary embodiment, the protective screen 23 may be designed by a network of straps stretched between the longitudinal members 15.

Selon l'invention, ladite partie immergée 10 de la structure portante 5 comporte des éléments formant ballasts 15 pour faire émerger ou surnager sur le plan ou cours d'eau ledit bassin 1.According to the invention, said submerged portion 10 of the supporting structure 5 comprises ballast elements 15 for emitting or floating on the plane or stream of said pond 1.

Tout particulièrement, la structure horizontale 13 de la partie immergée 10 est conçue à la manière d'un radeau et comporte au moins en partie les éléments formant ballast 15, précisément pour que le bassin puisse flotter en surface de l'eau dans le but de faciliter le nettoyage, mais aussi, préalablement, la conception, l'assemblage et la mise à l'eau du bassin.In particular, the horizontal structure 13 of the immersed part 10 is designed in the manner of a raft and comprises less in part the ballast elements 15, precisely so that the basin can float on the surface of the water for the purpose of facilitating cleaning, but also, previously, the design, assembly and launching of the basin .

A ce propos, l'invention concerne également un procédé de montage en vu de la mise à l'eau d'un bassin flottant, consistant :

  • à assembler à terre ou directement sur l'eau la structure horizontale 13 en forme de radeau de la partie immergée 10, intégrant les éléments formant ballasts 15;
  • après mise à l'eau de cette structure horizontale 13 à monter sur cette dernière ladite structure verticale 14 de la partie immergée 10;
  • à rapporter à ladite partie immergée 10, la partie flottante 9 de la structure portante 5 du bassin.
In this regard, the invention also relates to a mounting method in view of the launching of a floating basin, consisting of:
  • to assemble on the ground or directly on the water the horizontal structure 13 in the form of a raft of the immersed part 10, integrating the ballast elements 15;
  • after launching of this horizontal structure 13 to mount on the latter said vertical structure 14 of the immersed part 10;
  • to report to said submerged portion 10, the floating portion 9 of the bearing structure 5 of the basin.

Dans un exemple de réalisation conforme aux dessins joints en annexe, les éléments formant ballasts sont constitués, substantiellement, par les longerons 15 conçus sous forme de réservoirs oblongs susceptibles de contenir, alternativement de l'eau ou de l'air, selon qu'il s'agit d'immerger, de faire émerger ou flotter le bassin 1.In an exemplary embodiment according to the accompanying drawings, the ballast elements consist substantially of the longitudinal members 15 designed in the form of oblong tanks capable of containing, alternately water or air, depending on whether This is to immerse, to make emerge or float the basin 1.

Ainsi, chacun de ces longerons 15 est conçu apte à être raccordé à des moyens d'insufflage d'air et comportent, par ailleurs, des moyens de commande d'entrée d'eau.Thus, each of these longitudinal members 15 is designed capable of being connected to air blowing means and furthermore comprises means for controlling the entry of water.

Préférentiellement, les moyens d'insufflage d'air 24 et de commande d'entrée d'eau 25 sont ménagés à chacune des extrémités 26, 27, d'un longeron 15, ceci de manière à assurer un équilibrage du bassin 1 en phase d'immersion et plus particulièrement d'émersion.Preferably, the air blowing means 24 and water inlet control 25 are formed at each of the ends 26, 27 of a spar 15, so as to ensure a balancing of the basin 1 in phase d immersion and more particularly emersion.

D'ailleurs, selon une autre particularité de l'invention, les longerons 15 formant ballast sont compartimentés, plus exactement subdivisés en compartiments que l'on peut individuellement remplir d'air ou d'eau, ceci de manière contrôlé. L'avantage d'un tel compartimentage des ballastes consiste en ce qu'il est possible de gérer l'équilibrage du bassin en phase d'immersion et d'émersion, ceci grâce à des moyens de gestion du remplissage et de la vidange de ces ballasts. Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les longerons 15 sont subdivisés, dans le sens longitudinal, en deux compartiments. De manière préférentielle, l'un représente environ un tiers et l'autre les deux tiers du volume. Ces longerons 15 adoptent par ailleurs une disposition en quinconce les uns par rapport aux autres. En d'autres termes, vu d'un côté du bassin, un compartiment ne représentant qu'un tiers du volume d'un longeron jouxte un ou des compartiments de volume plus important de longerons adjacents.Moreover, according to another feature of the invention, the spars 15 forming ballast are compartmentalized, more precisely subdivided into compartments that can be individually filled with air or water, this in a controlled manner. The advantage of such a subdivision of ballasts is that it is possible to manage the balancing of the basin in the immersion phase and emersion, this through means of management of filling and emptying of these ballasts. According to an advantageous embodiment, the longitudinal members 15 are subdivided, in the longitudinal direction, into two compartments. Preferably, one represents about one-third and the other two-thirds of the volume. These side members 15 also adopt a staggered arrangement with respect to each other. In other words, seen from one side of the basin, a compartment representing only one third of the volume of a spar adjoins one or more compartments of larger volume of adjacent spars.

On remarquera, en ce qui concerne les moyens de commande d'entrée d'eau 25, que ceux-ci peuvent constituer des moyens d'évacuation d'eau en phase 2 de remplissage d'air. Tout particulièrement, de tels moyens peuvent être définis par un simple tuyau de raccordement à chacune des extrémités d'un longeron 15 de sorte que, alternativement, en abaissant ou en rehaussant un tuyau, on favorise, par effet de vase communicant, l'écoulement de l'eau dans un sens ou dans l'autre pour garantir l'équilibrage de la structure.It will be noted, with regard to the water inlet control means 25, that these may constitute means for discharging water in the air filling phase 2. In particular, such means can be defined by a simple connecting pipe at each end of a spar 15 so that, alternatively, by lowering or raising a pipe, it promotes, by communicating vase effect, the flow water in one direction or the other to ensure the balance of the structure.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le bassin 1 comporte des moyens de gestion automatisée du remplissage et de la vidange de ces éléments formant ballast 15 pour gérer l'équilibrage du bassin 1. Selon un exemple de réalisation, ces moyens de gestion sont conçus apte à piloter les moyens pour insuffler de l'air 24 et commander l'entrée d'eau 25, ces derniers se présentant, notamment sous forme de vanne motorisée.According to an advantageous embodiment, the basin 1 comprises means for automated management of the filling and emptying of these ballast elements 15 to manage the balancing of the basin 1. According to an exemplary embodiment, these management means are designed apt controlling the means for blowing air 24 and controlling the water inlet 25, the latter being in particular in the form of a motorized valve.

Avantageusement, ces moyens de gestion automatisée comportent des moyens de mesure le la pression dans lesdits éléments formant ballast 15 et des moyens de comparaison entre elles des pressions mesurées pour gérer l'assiette du bassin en phase d'immersion et d'émersion. Au travers de ces moyens de gestion il peut encore être ajustée la profondeur d'immersion de ce bassin pour limiter selon le cas la hauteur d'eau dans ce dernier.Advantageously, these automated management means comprise means for measuring the pressure in said ballast elements and means for comparing measured pressures with one another to manage the attitude of the basin during the immersion and emergence phase. Through these management means it can be further adjusted the immersion depth of the basin to limit the water level in the latter as appropriate.

Selon une autre particularité de l'invention, ce bassin 1 comporte encore des moyens de filtration 28 permettant de filtrer l'eau prélevée extérieurement au bassin 1 pour l'injecter dans ce dernier.According to another particularity of the invention, this pond 1 further comprises filtration means 28 for filtering the water taken externally to the basin 1 to inject it into the latter.

De tels moyens de filtration 28 constituent, avantageusement, des moyens de remplissage du bassin 1 en phase d'immersion.Such filtration means 28 advantageously constitute means for filling the basin 1 in the immersion phase.

On notera qu'en cas d'usage de moyens de filtration les panneaux 6, 7, 8, définissant les parois périphériques et le fond du bassin 1, peuvent être choisis non ajourés pour éviter que de l'eau extérieure au bassin non filtrée se mélange à celle contenue dans ce dernier. Toutefois, ces moyens de filtration peuvent encore créer un flux de renouvellement d'eau au travers de ou l'autre paroi conservant des ajours.It should be noted that, in the case of using filtering means, the panels 6, 7, 8, defining the peripheral walls and the bottom of the basin 1, may be chosen without perforations to prevent the water outside the unfiltered basin mixture to that contained in the latter. However, these filtration means can still create a flow of water renewal through or other wall retaining openings.

Pour autant, ces panneaux 6, 7, 8 peuvent comporter des ouvertures, plus particulièrement en partie basse, à proximité du fond du bassin 1 pour faciliter l'évacuation de l'eau contenue dans ce dernier en phase d'émersion.However, these panels 6, 7, 8 may include openings, particularly in the lower part, near the bottom of the basin 1 to facilitate the evacuation of the water contained in the latter in the emergence phase.

Cependant, on remarquera que la présente invention n'est nullement limitée à une telle conception puisque les moyens de filtration conçus aptes à injecter dans le bassin de l'eau filtrée prélevée extérieurement peuvent encore définir, au travers d'un circuit de dérivation adapté, des moyens de vidange de ce dernier.However, it will be noted that the present invention is in no way limited to such a design since the filtering means designed to inject into the pond filtered water taken out externally can still define, through a suitable branch circuit, means for emptying the latter.

Selon une autre particularité de la présente invention, entre le bord supérieur 18 des panneaux périphériques 6, 7, et la partie flottante 9, il est préservé une ouverture de débordement 29 ce qui permet, même après remplissage du bassin 1 de continuer à injecter dans ce dernier de l'eau filtrée prélevée extérieurement pour un renouvellement constant ou périodique de cette eau contenue dans ledit bassin 1, l'eau en surplus étant évacué par déversement au travers d'ouvertures de débordement 29.According to another particularity of the present invention, between the upper edge 18 of the peripheral panels 6, 7, and the floating part 9, an overflow opening 29 is preserved, which makes it possible, even after filling the basin 1, to continue to inject into the latter filtered water taken externally for a constant or periodic renewal of the water contained in said basin 1, the excess water being discharged by pouring through overflow openings 29.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, cette ouverture de débordement 29 est définie par un espace préservé entre le profilé d'accrochage 19 et les flotteurs 11.In the illustrated embodiment, this overflow opening 29 is defined by a space preserved between the hooking profile 19 and the floats 11.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, la barrière de protection 12 peut être constituée par une toile ou bâche tendue. De la même façon, la barrière de protection 12 et la plage de circulation autour du bassin 1 peuvent être constitués par une seule et même toile. Il est, encore, possible d'imaginer que cette toile constitue également ledit bassin 1.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the protective barrier 12 may be constituted by a canvas or tarpaulin. In the same way, the protective barrier 12 and the circulation range around the basin 1 may consist of a single fabric. It is still possible to imagine that this fabric also constitutes said basin 1.
