Description

La présente invention concerne les abris télescopiques tels que les abris télescopiques de piscine et plus particulièrement les abris télescopiques à hauteur de roulement multiple.The present invention relates to telescopic shelters such as telescopic pool enclosures and more particularly to telescopic shelters with multiple ride height.

Il existe de nombreux abris mobiles ou partiellement mobiles permettant de protéger des emplacements particuliers contre des risques externes. En particulier, les abris mobiles de piscine sont adaptés à limiter l'accès aux piscines pour des raisons de sécurité, à les protéger contre certains éléments tels que les feuilles et les objets pouvant être déposés dans les piscines, notamment par le vent, et à améliorer le réchauffement de l'eau ou limiter les déperditions de chaleur.There are many mobile or partially mobile shelters to protect particular locations from external hazards. In particular, mobile swimming pool shelters are adapted to limit access to swimming pools for safety reasons, to protect them against certain elements such as leaves and objects that may be deposited in swimming pools, particularly by wind, and improve the warming of the water or limit heat loss.

Parmi les abris mobiles ou partiellement mobiles, les abris télescopiques, aussi appelés coulissants, utilisant le principe gigogne, présentent l'avantage de pouvoir découvrir la quasi-totalité du bassin puisqu'en position repliée, la surface de l'abri au sol est globalement limitée à la largeur d'un seul élément.Among mobile or partially mobile shelters, telescopic shelters, also called sliding, using the trundle principle, have the advantage of being able to discover almost the entire basin since in the folded position, the surface of the shelter on the ground is globally limited to the width of a single element.

Ces abris sont caractérisés par le fait que chaque élément de toiture a une corde, correspondant à la distance entre les deux bordures longitudinales reposant au sol et qui relient les arceaux, supérieure à celle de l'élément de toiture qui le précède, de sorte qu'en position repliée, tous les modules s'escamotent les uns sous les autres.These shelters are characterized by the fact that each roof element has a rope, corresponding to the distance between the two longitudinal edges resting on the ground and which connect the arches, greater than that of the roof element which precedes it, so that in the folded position, all the modules retract under each other.

Ce principe comprend cependant des inconvénients parmi lesquels une emprise au sol importante car chaque module est nécessairement plus large que le précédent. Il en résulte un poids global élevé. De plus, toutes les bordures longitudinales de l'abri étant placées sur un même plan, tous les modules doivent être posés sur la terrasse si la margelle et la terrasse ne sont pas au même niveau (la largeur de la margelle est insuffisante pour recevoir tous les éléments). Enfin, le poids important des modules rend difficile la manipulation de l'abri, notamment au moment où il faut mettre en mouvement l'élément à déplacer. Pour pallier cela et éviter une « mise en crabe » des modules, certains fabricants optent pour un guidage sur rail de tous leurs éléments ou un guidage latéral entre modules.This principle, however, has disadvantages among which a significant footprint because each module is necessarily wider than the previous one. This results in a high overall weight. In addition, all the longitudinal edges of the shelter being placed on the same plane, all the modules must be placed on the terrace if the coping and the terrace are not at the same level (the width of the coping is insufficient to receive all the elements). Finally, the heavy weight of the modules makes it difficult to handle the shelter, especially when it is necessary to put in motion the element to move. To overcome this and avoid a "crab" modules, some manufacturers opt for rail guidance of all their elements or a lateral guidance between modules.

La demande de brevet FR 2 883 018 décrit un bloc fonctionnel destiné à équiper les tronçons de couverture d'un abri de piscine de type télescopique, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un corps destiné à être fixé sur un tronçon de couverture au niveau d'un bord à proximité d'un support, le corps étant équipé de moyens de roulement sur le support, et de moyens de guidage d'un tronçon par rapport à un autre tronçon dans la direction de translation des tronçons entre la position de couverture et de découverture de l'abri. Le bloc peut également comporter des moyens d'entraînement et de fixation au support.The patent application FR 2,883,018 describes a functional block intended to equip the cover sections of a telescopic type swimming pool enclosure, characterized in that it comprises a body intended to be fixed on a cover section at an edge close to a support, the body being provided with rolling means on the support, and means for guiding a section relative to another section in the direction of translation of the sections between the cover position and stripping of the shelter. The block may also include means for driving and fixing the support.

La demande de brevet EP 0 779 398 divulgue un système d'abri rétractable comportant au moins deux ensembles modulaires emboîtables télescopiquement l'un dans autre comprenant chacun deux longerons longitudinaux dotés de roues et supportant des éléments de couverture. Le système d'abri comporte des moyens de guidage latéral comprenant, pour les longerons de deux ensembles modulaires contigus, dune part, deux roulettes latérales à axe de rotation vertical associées chacune à un desdits longerons, et disposées respectivement au droit d'extrémités opposées de ces derniers, et d'autre part, deux profilés de guidage accolés latéralement chacun à un des longerons et agencés de façon à loger et à guider la roulette associée au longeron voisin tout en conférant une faculté de débattement vertical à ladite roulette.The patent application EP 0 779 398 discloses a retractable shelter system comprising at least two telescopically interlocking modular assemblies each in another each comprising two longitudinal longitudinal members with wheels and supporting cover elements. The shelter system comprises lateral guiding means comprising, for the longitudinal members of two adjoining modular assemblies, on the one hand, two lateral casters with a vertical axis of rotation each associated with one of said longitudinal members, and respectively disposed opposite opposite ends of the latter, and secondly, two guide sections laterally attached each to one of the longitudinal members and arranged to accommodate and guide the wheel associated with the neighboring spar while providing a faculty of vertical movement to said wheel.

Alternativement, il existe des abris bas à éléments de toiture articulés constitués de deux sections de modules dont la grande est en général fixe et sous laquelle peut rouler la petite, chaque section étant constituée de plusieurs éléments de cordes identiques liés entre eux. De tels abris ont une emprise au sol réduite et offrent la possibilité de disposer l'abri sur la margelle, puisque la largeur standard de celle-ci permet la juxtaposition de deux sections de cordes différentes.Alternatively, there are low shelters with articulated roof elements consisting of two sections of modules, the large part of which is generally fixed and under which the small can roll, each section consisting of several elements of identical strings interconnected. Such shelters have a reduced footprint and offer the possibility of arranging the shelter on the lip, since the standard width thereof allows the juxtaposition of two sections of different ropes.

Par exemple, la demande de brevet FR 2 825 738 décrit une toiture de piscine pour abris bas constituée d'éléments de toiture juxtaposés dans le sens de la longueur de la piscine et dont au moins une des deux bordures longitudinales est montée articulée par rapport au rebord d'appui du bassin de la piscine. La toiture est constituée, sur une portion au moins de sa longueur, d'éléments de toiture juxtaposés dont la distance que délimite la corde extérieure des deux bordures longitudinales reposant sur le rebord d'appui du bassin et que relient les deux arceaux est inférieure à la distance que délimite la corde intérieure des deux bordures longitudinales reposant sur le rebord d'appui du bassin et que relient les deux arceaux des éléments juxtaposés de l'autre portion de la toiture pour autoriser l'emboîtement de la première portion des petits éléments dans la deuxième portion de grands éléments et découvrir ainsi partiellement la piscine sur une longueur correspondant au déplacement de la portion mobile d'éléments.For example, the patent application FR 2,825,738 discloses a pool roof for low shelters consisting of roof elements juxtaposed along the length of the pool and at least one of the two longitudinal edges is articulated relative to the support flange of the pool basin. The roof is constituted, on at least a portion of its length, juxtaposed roof elements whose distance that delimits the outer rope of the two longitudinal edges resting on the support rim of the basin and that connect the two arches is less than the distance defined by the inner rope of the two longitudinal edges resting on the support rim of the basin and connected by the two arches of the elements juxtaposed with the other portion of the roof to allow the interlocking of the first portion of the small elements in the second portion of large elements and partially discover the pool on a length corresponding to the displacement of the movable portion of elements.

Cependant, de tels abris présentent certains inconvénients. En particulier, en position repliée, l'abri ne découvre qu'une partie limitée du bassin, inférieure ou égale à la moitié de sa longueur. De plus, la pose sur margelle n'est envisageable que pour des bassins de forme rectangulaire pure. Ces abris sont notamment inadaptés à des bassins rectangulaires équipés d'un escalier en bout ou nécessitent le montage de dispositifs complémentaires pour fermer la partie comprenant l'escalier. De plus, lorsque ces abris sont montés sur margelle, ils utilisent généralement des roulettes de guidage, sans rail, pour éviter la gêne occasionnée par la présence d'un rail sur la margelle. La manipulation de ces abris est donc inconfortable.However, such shelters have certain disadvantages. In particular, in the folded position, the shelter only discovers a limited portion of the basin, less than or equal to half of its length. In addition, laying on a curb is only possible for basins of pure rectangular shape. These shelters are particularly unsuitable for rectangular basins equipped with an end staircase or require the installation of complementary devices to close the part comprising the staircase. Moreover, when these shelters are mounted on a coping, they generally use guide rollers, without rail, for avoid the inconvenience caused by the presence of a rail on the lip. The handling of these shelters is therefore uncomfortable.

Ces abris comprennent une façade verticale à chaque extrémité. Ces façades, aussi appelées joues, pignons, frontons ou demi-lunes, permettent de fermer l'abri et de condamner l'accès au bassin. Dans la famille des abris télescopiques, les caractéristiques de ces façades sont un élément important.These shelters have a vertical facade at each end. These facades, also called cheeks, gables, pediments or half-moons, allow to close the shelter and to condemn the access to the basin. In the family of telescopic shelters, the characteristics of these facades are an important element.

En effet, la façade peut poser des problèmes lors de la mise en mouvement du module d'extrémité, car celle-ci peut venir buter sur le bas de la margelle lorsque l'abri est posé sur terrasse ou sur le nez de margelle lorsque l'abri est posé sur margelle. Seules les configurations à margelles plates et à terrasse au même niveau permettent d'éviter le frottement contre le sol de la partie inférieure de la façade.Indeed, the facade may cause problems during the setting in motion of the end module, because it can abut on the bottom of the coping when the shelter is placed on terrace or on the nose of the lip when the The shelter is placed on a coping. Only configurations with flat edges and terrace at the same level can prevent the friction against the ground of the lower part of the facade.

Les solutions existantes avant de déplacer le module sont les suivantes, retirer complètement la façade avant de manoeuvrer l'abri, la façade pouvant être constituée d'une seule partie ou de plusieurs, escamoter la façade en la basculant sous le module, rehausser la partie basse de la joue pour passer au dessus de la margelle et combler le jour par un joint bavette très haut ou escamoter la façade en la basculant par sa moitié.The existing solutions before moving the module are as follows, completely remove the front panel to maneuver the shelter, the facade may consist of a single part or more, retract the front by tilting under the module, enhance the part bottom of the cheek to go over the coping and fill the day with a very high bib joint or hide the front by tilting by its half.

Cependant, chacune de ces solutions présentent des inconvénients. En particulier, ces solutions sont fastidieuses, engendrent des faiblesses dans la structure de l'abri, sont inesthétiques et/ou manquent d'ergonomie pour la manipulation de l'abri.However, each of these solutions have disadvantages. In particular, these solutions are tedious, cause weaknesses in the structure of the shelter, are unsightly and / or lack ergonomics for the handling of the shelter.

L'invention permet de résoudre au moins un des problèmes exposés précédemment.The invention solves at least one of the problems discussed above.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet un élément d'angle pour structure d'abri mobile télescopique formée d'au moins deux modules, lesdits modules étant alignés selon un axe longitudinal, chaque module comprenant au moins une partie adaptée à être posée sur le sol, lesdits au moins deux modules étant fixés l'un à l'autre par des éléments de jonction à au moins un degré de liberté permettant à l'un desdits modules d'avoir un mouvement de translation sensiblement horizontal, selon l'axe longitudinal desdits au moins deux modules, par rapport au second desdits au moins deux modules, cet élément d'angle comprenant une première partie visible, une seconde partie adaptée à recevoir au moins partiellement une rive et une troisième partie adaptée à recevoir au moins partiellement un arceau, ladite première partie comprenant une cavité ouverte sur le côté, formée dans un côté adjacent à ladite seconde partie, ladite cavité étant adaptée à recevoir un élément de guidage du type élément de guidage à trolley ou à recevoir un élément de jonction, ladite première partie comprenant également une glissière ouverte, parallèle à ladite rive, formée sur le côté opposé à ladite cavité et ladite seconde partie comprenant une cavité ouverte vers le bas adaptée à recevoir une roulette dont l'axe de rotation est perpendiculaire à ladite rive.The invention thus relates to an angle element for telescopic mobile shelter structure formed of at least two modules, said modules being aligned along a longitudinal axis, each module comprising at least one portion adapted to be placed on the ground said at least two modules being fixed to one another by junction elements with at least one degree of freedom allowing one of said modules to have a substantially horizontal translational movement, along the longitudinal axis of said at least two modules, relative to the second of said at least two modules, this element an angle portion comprising a first visible portion, a second portion adapted to at least partially receive a ridge and a third portion adapted to at least partially receive a hoop, said first portion comprising a cavity open to the side, formed in a side adjacent to said second portion, said cavity being adapted to receive a trolley-like guiding element-type guiding element or receiving a joining element, said first portion also comprising an open slideway, parallel to said rim, formed on the side opposite said cavity and said second portion comprising a cavity open downward adapted to receive a wheel whose axis of rotation is perpendicular to said bank.

L'élément d'angle selon l'invention permet de réduire le nombre de pièces différentes nécessaires au montage d'un abri télescopique tout en offrant de nombreuses possibilités de montage.The corner element according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the number of different parts necessary for mounting a telescopic shelter while offering numerous mounting possibilities.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément d'angle comprend en outre un trou traversant entre ladite cavité et ledit côté de ladite première partie comprenant ladite glissière, ledit trou traversant étant adapté à fixer ledit élément de jonction selon une position ajustable. Il est ainsi possible de régler facilement la position de l'élément de jonction selon l'écart entre deux modules voisins.According to a particular embodiment, the corner element further comprises a through hole between said cavity and said side of said first part comprising said slideway, said through hole being adapted to fix said junction element in an adjustable position. It is thus possible to easily adjust the position of the connecting element according to the gap between two neighboring modules.

Toujours selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément d'angle comprend en outre un trou traversant entre ladite cavité et le côté de ladite première partie opposé à ladite seconde partie, ledit trou traversant étant adapté à recevoir une clavette pouvant être maintenue par ledit élément de jonction, ladite clavette étant adaptée à assembler deux éléments d'angle du type revendiqué. Ce mode de réalisation permet d'assembler de façon rigide deux modules l'un à l'autre.Still according to a particular embodiment, the corner element further comprises a through hole between said cavity and the side of said first portion opposite said second portion, said through hole being adapted to receive a key that can be maintained by said junction element, said key being adapted to assemble two corner elements of the type claimed. This embodiment makes it possible to rigidly assemble two modules one to the other.

L'élément d'angle comprend en outre avantageusement au moins un trou borgne ou pénétrant formé sur le côté de ladite première partie opposé à ladite seconde partie, ledit au moins un trou étant adapté à recevoir un élément de liaison d'un élément de guidage du type élément de guidage à galet. L'adaptation d'un élément de guidage du type élément de guidage à galet permet de réduire les frottements lors de mouvements relatifs d'un module par rapport à un autre et ainsi de faciliter la manoeuvre de l'abri. Ledit élément de guidage à galet comprenant de préférence une partie mobile adaptée, selon une première position, à fixer ledit élément d'angle au sol ou à un rail pour limiter les mouvements du module sur lequel il est monté.The corner element furthermore advantageously comprises at least one blind or penetrating hole formed on the side of said first part opposite said second part, said at least one hole being adapted to receive a connecting element of a guide element. of the roller guide element type. The adaptation of a guide element of the roller guide element type reduces friction during relative movements of a module by to another and thus to facilitate the maneuvering of the shelter. Said roller guide element preferably comprising a movable portion adapted, in a first position, to fix said corner element to the ground or to a rail to limit the movements of the module on which it is mounted.

Toujours selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément d'angle comprend en outre un trou traversant vertical formé dans lesdites première et troisième parties adapté à évacuer les eaux de condensation et/ou les eaux de ruissellement et éviter des problèmes tels que les problèmes liés au gel.Still according to a particular embodiment, the corner element further comprises a vertical through hole formed in said first and third parts adapted to evacuate condensation water and / or runoff and avoid problems such as problems. related to frost.

Toujours selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément d'angle comprend un trou traversant dans ladite seconde partie, perpendiculaire à ladite rive, adapté à recevoir l'arbre de rotation de ladite roulette, ce trou étant avantageusement ouvert vers le bas pour simplifier le démontage dudit arbre de rotation de ladite roulette. La maintenance de l'abri est ainsi facilitée ainsi que le changement de type de roulette utilisée.Still according to a particular embodiment, the corner element comprises a through hole in said second portion, perpendicular to said bank, adapted to receive the rotation shaft of said wheel, this hole being advantageously open downwards to simplify disassembly of said rotation shaft of said wheel. The maintenance of the shelter is thus facilitated as well as the change of type of roulette used.

Toujours selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément d'angle comprend en outre des moyens de liaison dans sa partie inférieure, lesdits moyens de liaison étant adaptés à recevoir un élément de calage et/ou d'ancrage pour ancrer l'abri au sol et prévenir tout déplacement intempestif lié à des conditions extrêmes de chargement de l'abri. L'élément de calage a pour fonction de caler l'abri et ainsi de soulager la pression exercée sur les roulettes afin d'éviter notamment la déformation des roulettes.Still according to a particular embodiment, the corner element further comprises connecting means in its lower part, said connecting means being adapted to receive a wedging element and / or anchoring to anchor the shelter to ground and prevent any inadvertent movement due to extreme loading conditions of the shelter. The wedging element has the function of wedging the shelter and thus relieve the pressure exerted on the rollers in order to avoid in particular the deformation of the rollers.

L'invention a également pour objet un abris télescopique comprenant au moins un élément d'angle tel que décrit précédemment.The invention also relates to a telescopic shelter comprising at least one corner element as described above.

La figure 1 représente schématiquement une piscine 100 pouvant être protégée par l'abri selon l'invention. Comme illustré, la piscine 100 comprend un bassin 105 qui, selon cet exemple, a une forme rectangulaire. Le tour de la piscine est constitué d'une margelle 110 séparant le bassin 105 d'une terrasse 115 formée autour de la piscine. La margelle est ici la zone en pierre d'environ trente ou trente cinq centimètres de large qui entoure le bassin en reposant sur l'armature de la piscine et la terrasse est la zone périphérique située au-delà de la margelle. La hauteur de la margelle est ici supérieure à celle de la terrasse permettant ainsi que des objets situés sur la terrasse ne puissent glisser dans le bassin. Ce type de margelles est également appelé margelles débordantes. La piscine comprend un escalier roman 120 formé en bout de bassin.The figure 1 schematically represents a swimming pool 100 that can be protected by the shelter according to the invention. As illustrated, the pool 100 comprises a basin 105 which, according to this example, has a rectangular shape. The pool round consists of a lip 110 separating the pool 105 from a terrace 115 formed around the pool. The coping is here the stone zone about thirty or thirty-five centimeters wide which surrounds the basin resting on the frame of the swimming pool and the terrace is the peripheral zone located beyond the coping. The height of the coping is here greater than that of the terrace thus allowing objects located on the terrace can not slide in the basin. This type of coping is also called overflowing margins. The pool includes a Roman staircase 120 formed at the end of the pool.

La figure 2, comprenant les figures 2a et 2b, illustre un exemple d'abri selon l'invention. La figure 2a représente une vue en perspective de l'abri couvrant la piscine de la figure 1, tandis que la figure 2b représente une vue de profil selon l'axe longitudinal de la piscine. L'abri 200 est ici constitué de trois modules 205-1, 205-2 et 205-3, chaque module étant composé de deux toitures juxtaposées et liées entre-elles. Le module 205-1 comprend ainsi les toitures 210-11 et 210-12. De même, le module 205-2 comprend les toitures 210-21 et 210-22. Les dimensions des modules 205-1, 205-2 et 205-3 sont telles que le module 205-1 peut se loger sous le module 205-2 qui peut lui-même se loger sous le module 205-3. Ainsi, les modules 205-1 et 205-2 peuvent se ranger sous le module 205-3 et ne recouvrir environ qu'un tiers de la piscine. Lorsqu'ils sont déployés, les modules 205-1, 205-2 et 205-3 recouvrent l'ensemble de la piscine.The figure 2 , including Figures 2a and 2b illustrates an example of shelter according to the invention. The figure 2a represents a perspective view of the shelter covering the pool of the figure 1 while the figure 2b represents a profile view along the longitudinal axis of the pool. The shelter 200 here consists of three modules 205-1, 205-2 and 205-3, each module being composed of two roofs juxtaposed and interconnected. The module 205-1 thus includes the roofs 210-11 and 210-12. Similarly, the module 205-2 includes the roofs 210-21 and 210-22. The dimensions of the modules 205-1, 205-2 and 205-3 are such that the module 205-1 can be housed under the module 205-2 which can itself be housed under the module 205-3. Thus, the 205-1 and 205-2 modules can be stored under module 205-3 and cover only about one third of the pool. When deployed, modules 205-1, 205-2 and 205-3 cover the entire pool.

Chaque abri selon l'invention est de préférence composé d'au moins trois modules correspondant à des types de toitures différents permettant l'emboîtement des modules les uns sous les autres selon le principe gigogne.Each shelter according to the invention is preferably composed of at least three modules corresponding to different types of roofs allowing the interlocking of the modules one under the other according to the trundle principle.

Le principe général tient en ce que les différents modules composant l'abri se déplacent au plus près du bassin de baignade pour réduire l'encombrement général. Pour cela, deux modules différents sont avantageusement montés sur la partie supérieure de la margelle et un autre module est monté sur la terrasse. Ainsi, l'abri selon l'invention cumule en particulier les avantages d'encombrement limité en largeur et de couverture de piscine rectangulaire à margelles débordantes et escalier en bout.The general principle is that the different modules composing the shelter move closer to the bathing basin to reduce the overall size. For this, two different modules are advantageously mounted on the upper part of the lip and another module is mounted on the terrace. Thus, the shelter according to the invention combines in particular the advantages of limited space in width and rectangular pool cover with overhanging curbs and end stairs.

Le principe d'ouverture de l'abri sur un bassin de type rectangulaire avec escalier roman en bout est le suivant. Le module le plus grand, de préférence monté sur rails, est avantageusement positionné du coté de l'escalier pour compenser le décalage de hauteur entre la margelle et la terrasse. L'ouverture se fait ainsi de préférence du module le plus grand vers le module le plus petit. Ce principe permet également de découvrir les deux extrémités du bassin.The principle of opening the shelter on a rectangular type basin with Romanesque staircase at the end is as follows. The largest module, preferably mounted on rails, is advantageously positioned on the side of the staircase to compensate for the height difference between the lip and the terrace. The opening is thus preferably from the largest module to the smallest module. This principle also allows to discover both ends of the basin.

La figure 3 représente une vue en coupe de l'abri et de la piscine selon un axe transversal. Comme illustré, les modules 205-1 et 205-2 prennent appui sur la margelle 110 tandis que le module 205-3 prend appui sur la terrasse 115, au plus prés de la margelle. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les modules 205-1 et 205-2 sont montés sur des roulettes simples 310-1 et 310-2, respectivement, alors que le module 205-3 est monté sur des roulettes 300, comprenant éventuellement un réa, adaptées à coopérer avec un rail 305 dont la forme est adaptée à contrôler le mouvement des roulettes 300. Le rail 305 peut avoir, par exemple, une protubérance centrale coopérant avec un réa de la roulette 300. Alternativement, le rail 305 peut avoir deux protubérances situées de part et d'autre de la roulette 300, comme représenté. Selon encore une autre alternative le rail est formé par la margelle elle-même, chacune des deux margelles parallèles assurant le guidage. Ainsi, la précision des mouvements du module 205-3 est assurée par la coopération de la roulette 300 avec le rail 305. Le module 205-3 est également utilisé comme guide pour les modules 205-1 et 205-2 par l'intermédiaire de trolleys et de galets de guidage et d'une liaison de type trolley. Ce mode de réalisation permet un déplacement aisé et un rangement rapide de tous les modules. Chaque toiture se compose ici d'une partie cintrée formant la partie supérieure de l'abri, de deux parties droites verticales ou à inclinaison faible, formant les côtés de l'abri et de deux parties droites inclinées pour joindre la partie cintrée aux parties droites verticales ou à inclinaison faible. Naturellement, d'autres formes peuvent être utilisées.The figure 3 represents a sectional view of the shelter and the pool along a transverse axis. As illustrated, the modules 205-1 and 205-2 are supported on the lip 110 while the module 205-3 is supported on the terrace 115, closest to the lip. According to a particular embodiment, the modules 205-1 and 205-2 are mounted on single rollers 310-1 and 310-2, respectively, while the module 205-3 is mounted on rollers 300, possibly comprising a sheave. adapted to cooperate with a rail 305 whose shape is adapted to control the movement of the rollers 300. The rail 305 may have, for example, a central protrusion cooperating with a wheel of the wheel 300. Alternatively, the rail 305 may have two protuberances located on either side of the wheel 300, as shown. According to yet another alternative, the rail is formed by the lip itself, each of the two parallel edges guiding. Thus, the accuracy of the movements of the module 205-3 is ensured by the cooperation of the wheel 300 with the rail 305. The module 205-3 is also used as a guide for the modules 205-1 and 205-2 via trolleys and guide rollers and a trolley type connection. This embodiment allows easy movement and quick storage of all modules. Each roof consists here of a curved part forming the upper part of the shelter, of two straight vertical parts or of low inclination, forming the sides of the shelter and of two straight parts inclined to join the curved part to the straight parts. vertical or at low inclination. Of course, other forms can be used.

Selon l'exemple d'abri décrit, le rayon de courbure de la partie cintrée est constant sur un même module et identique entre plusieurs modules d'un même abri. Cependant, le rayon de courbure de la partie cintrée peut varier d'un abri à l'autre. De même, les longueurs des parties droites verticales et des parties inclinées formant le côté des modules sont constantes pour un même module. Cependant, les longueurs des parties droites verticales et des parties inclinées formant le côté des modules varient d'un module à l'autre de telle sorte que les modules soient emboîtables.According to the shelter example described, the radius of curvature of the curved portion is constant on the same module and identical between several modules of the same shelter. However, the radius of curvature of the curved portion may vary from one shelter to another. Similarly, the lengths of the vertical straight portions and inclined portions forming the side of the modules are constant for the same module. However, the lengths of vertical straight parts and Inclined portions forming the side of the modules vary from one module to another so that the modules are nestable.

La figure 4 représente une vue aérienne de la piscine comprenant des rails de guidage 305 disposés sur la terrasse 115 de part et d'autre de la piscine selon un axe longitudinal, au plus près de la margelle 110.The figure 4 represents an aerial view of the pool comprising guide rails 305 disposed on the terrace 115 on either side of the pool along a longitudinal axis, closest to the lip 110.

La figure 5 illustre un exemple de rangement et de déploiement des modules 205-1, 205-2 et 205-3. Comme représenté sur les figures 5a, 5b et 5c, le module le plus grand, monté sur rails et situé côté escalier, est de préférence manoeuvré pour découvrir le bassin (figures 5d et 5e). L'ensemble des modules peut alors être déplacé pour découvrir les deux extrémités du bassin (figure 5f). Alors qu'il est plus aisé de manipuler le plus grand module, monté sur rails, rien n'empêche de manoeuvrer le plus petit module.The figure 5 illustrates an example of storage and deployment of modules 205-1, 205-2 and 205-3. As shown on Figures 5a, 5b and 5c , the largest module, mounted on rails and located on the staircase side, is preferably maneuvered to discover the basin ( Figures 5d and 5e ). The set of modules can then be moved to discover both ends of the basin ( figure 5f ). While it is easier to handle the largest module, mounted on rails, nothing prevents to maneuver the smallest module.

Bien que selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le grand module soit monté sur des rails disposés sur la terrasse au plus près de la margelle et les autres modules soient montés sur roulettes simples, le déplacement longitudinal, c'est-à-dire le long du bassin, peut être assuré de plusieurs autres manières. En particulier, tous les modules peuvent être montés sur roulettes ou tous les modules peuvent être montés sur rails. Il est aussi possible de prévoir plusieurs modules montés sur la terrasse, sur rails, et plusieurs modules montés sur la margelle, sur roulettes simples. Il est également possible de monter un coté des modules sur rails et l'autre sur la margelle. Alternativement, le module le plus grand peut être fixé sur la terrasse et recevoir les autres modules lors de l'ouverture.Although according to a preferred embodiment, the large module is mounted on rails arranged on the terrace closest to the lip and the other modules are mounted on single wheels, the longitudinal movement, that is to say along basin, can be assured in several other ways. In particular, all modules can be mounted on wheels or all modules can be mounted on rails. It is also possible to provide several modules mounted on the terrace, on rails, and several modules mounted on the rim, on single wheels. It is also possible to mount one side of the modules on rails and the other on the edge. Alternatively, the largest module can be fixed on the terrace and receive the other modules when opening.

Comme décrit dans la suite de la description, les roulettes utilisées (simples ou à réa) sont de type standard du commerce et sont fixées sur les modules par le biais des blocs d'angles qui lient les arceaux et la rive.As described in the following description, the rollers used (simple or sheave) are standard commercial type and are fixed on the modules through the corner blocks that connect the hoops and the bank.

Le déplacement des modules est facilité par un mécanisme de poussée ergonomique situé de préférence sur au moins l'un des modules d'extrémité de l'abri. La figure 6, comprenant les figures 6a, 6b et 6c, montre un premier exemple de panneau d'extrémité, ou façade, d'un abri dans une position fermée (figures 6a et 6c), dans une position ouverte (figure 6b). La façade est de préférence montée sur le module le plus grand, c'est-à-dire le module monté sur rails qui est manoeuvré pour couvrir et découvrir la piscine.The displacement of the modules is facilitated by an ergonomic push mechanism preferably located on at least one of the end modules of the shelter. The figure 6 , including Figures 6a, 6b and 6c , shows a first example of an end panel, or facade, of a shelter in a closed position ( Figures 6a and 6c ), in an open position ( figure 6b ). The The facade is preferably mounted on the largest module, ie the module mounted on rails which is operated to cover and discover the pool.

La façade 600 comprend une structure 605 dont la forme est déterminée par celle de l'abri. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la façade 600 est constituée d'éléments fixes démontables 610 et d'éléments mobiles démontables 615, de préférence situés dans la partie inférieure du panneau et dont la longueur correspond avantageusement approximativement à la largeur du module sur lequel ils sont montés. Dans une première position, illustrée sur la figure 6a, la façade 600 ferme l'extrémité de l'abri. Dans une position ouverte, illustrée sur la figure 6b, la partie mobile se relève selon un axe horizontal, permettant ainsi au panneau de passer par-dessus la margelle si la piscine est équipée de margelles débordantes. En outre, la partie mobile comprend des poignées de manutention 620-1 et 620-2, ici escamotables dans le bord supérieur de la partie mobile de la structure de la façade, par exemple, par emboîtement tubulaire télescopique. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, une partie de la poignée peut être de section plus importante, éventuellement couverte de mousse, pour être plus confortable. Une partie de la section du bord supérieur de la partie mobile est alors adaptée pour recevoir la partie de la poignée de manutention ayant une section plus importante. Lorsque les éléments mobiles du panneau sont disposés en position ouverte et que les poignées de manutention sont déployées, les poignées de manutention sont disposées de telle sorte qu'elles permettent aux utilisateurs de manoeuvrer aisément le module associé. En effet, les poignées de manutention sont avantageusement situées à une hauteur approximativement comprise entre quatre vingt centimètres et un mètre trente au dessus de la terrasse, de préférence un mètre dix. L'utilisateur est donc à son aise pour exercer une force de poussée ou de traction sur ces poignées de manutention et déplacer ainsi le ou les modules. Selon cette caractéristique, l'utilisateur peut se déplacer le long du bassin 625, sans être gêné par le bassin, la margelle et les rails éventuels.The facade 600 comprises a structure 605 whose shape is determined by that of the shelter. According to a particular embodiment, the facade 600 consists of removable fixed elements 610 and removable movable elements 615, preferably located in the lower part of the panel and whose length advantageously corresponds approximately to the width of the module on which they are mounted. In a first position, illustrated on the figure 6a , the facade 600 closes the end of the shelter. In an open position, illustrated on the figure 6b , the movable portion is raised along a horizontal axis, thus allowing the panel to go over the coping if the pool is equipped with overflowing margins. In addition, the movable part comprises handling handles 620-1 and 620-2, here retractable in the upper edge of the movable part of the facade structure, for example, by telescopic tubular interlocking. According to a particular embodiment, a portion of the handle may be of larger section, possibly covered with foam, to be more comfortable. Part of the section of the upper edge of the movable part is then adapted to receive the portion of the handling handle having a larger section. When the movable elements of the panel are arranged in the open position and the handling handles are deployed, the handles are arranged in such a way that they allow the users to easily maneuver the associated module. Indeed, the handling handles are advantageously located at a height of approximately between eighty centimeters and one meter thirty above the terrace, preferably one meter ten. The user is therefore at ease to exert a pushing or pulling force on these handling handles and thus move the module or modules. According to this characteristic, the user can move along the basin 625, without being hampered by the basin, the coping and the rails.

Alternativement, les poignées de manutention sont amovibles et ne sont mises en place que pour manoeuvrer l'abri. La fixation de telles poignées de manutention peut notamment être réalisée par emboîtement.Alternatively, the handles are removable and are put in place only to maneuver the shelter. The attachment of such handling handles may in particular be made by interlocking.

Un système de verrouillage de type loquet ou magnétique est avantageusement utilisé pour maintenir la partie mobile du pignon en position ouverte.A latching or magnetic locking system is advantageously used to keep the moving part of the pinion in the open position.

La façade peut être constituée de plusieurs éléments. Chaque élément est de préférence aisément démontable pour ouvrir au moins partiellement l'abri. Il est ainsi possible, par exemple, de retirer l'élément central comme illustré sur la figure 6c pour laisser l'air circuler à l'intérieur de l'abri.The facade may consist of several elements. Each element is preferably easily removable to open at least partially the shelter. It is thus possible, for example, to remove the central element as illustrated on the Figure 6c to allow air to circulate inside the shelter.

Le nombre et la disposition des éléments varient selon les besoins et les souhaits de l'utilisateur.The number and arrangement of items vary according to the needs and wishes of the user.

La figure 7, comprenant les figures 7a, 7b et 7c, illustre un second exemple de façade 600'. La figure 7a montre la façade 600' dans une position fermée, la figure 7b montre la façade 600' dans une position ouverte et la figure 7c montre un exemple de poignée de manutention escamotable. La façade 600' comprend ici la structure 605' dont la forme est déterminée par celle de l'abri. Comme la façade 600, la façade 600' est constitué d'éléments fixes démontables 610' et d'éléments mobiles démontables 615', de préférence situés dans la partie inférieure du panneau et dont la longueur correspond avantageusement approximativement à la largeur du module sur lequel ils sont montés. Dans une première position, illustrée sur la figure 7a, la façade 600' ferme l'extrémité de l'abri. Dans une position ouverte, illustrée sur la figure 7b, la partie mobile se relève selon un mouvement vertical, permettant ainsi au panneau de passer par-dessus la margelle si la piscine est équipée de margelles débordantes. Le mouvement de relevage est lié à un mécanisme de guidage comprenant, par exemple, des rails 700-1, 700-2 et 700-3 fixés à la partie mobile 615', coopérant avec des guides 705-1, 705-2 et 705-3 fixés sur la structure 605' ou sur la partie fixe 610'. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le déplacement de la partie mobile 615' est assisté par un vérin pour limiter les efforts.The figure 7 , including Figures 7a, 7b and 7c , illustrates a second example of facade 600 '. The figure 7a shows the facade 600 'in a closed position, the figure 7b shows the 600 'facade in an open position and the Figure 7c shows an example of a retractable handle. The facade 600 'here comprises the structure 605' whose shape is determined by that of the shelter. Like the facade 600, the facade 600 'consists of removable fixed elements 610' and removable movable elements 615 ', preferably located in the lower part of the panel and whose length advantageously corresponds approximately to the width of the module on which they went up. In a first position, illustrated on the figure 7a , the 600 'facade closes the end of the shelter. In an open position, illustrated on the figure 7b , the movable part is raised in a vertical movement, thus allowing the panel to go over the coping if the pool is equipped with overflowing borders. The raising movement is linked to a guiding mechanism comprising, for example, rails 700-1, 700-2 and 700-3 fixed to the movable part 615 ', cooperating with guides 705-1, 705-2 and 705 -3 fixed on the structure 605 'or on the fixed part 610'. According to a preferred embodiment, the displacement of the movable part 615 'is assisted by a jack to limit the forces.

Un système de verrouillage de type loquet ou par vérin est avantageusement utilisé pour maintenir la partie mobile de la façade en position ouverte. La position fermée est maintenue par la seule force de gravité pouvant être complétée par l'utilisation d'un système de verrouillage de type loquet.A locking system of the latch or jack type is advantageously used to keep the movable part of the facade in the open position. The closed position is maintained by the only force of gravity that can be completed by the use of a latch type locking system.

En outre, la partie mobile comprend des poignées de manutention 620'-1 et 620'-2 pour faciliter la manoeuvre de l'abri. Les poignées de manutention 620'-1 et 620'-2 attachées à la structure 605' de la façade peuvent être fixes, escamotables ou amovibles. Comme les poignées de manutention 620-1 et 620-2, les poignées de manutention 620'-1 et 620'-2 sont de préférence fixées à la partie mobile pour permettre aux utilisateurs de manoeuvrer aisément le module associé lorsque les éléments mobiles de la façade sont disposés en position ouverte. Elles sont avantageusement situées à une hauteur approximativement comprise entre quatre vingt centimètres et un mètre trente au dessus de la terrasse, de préférence un mètre dix. L'utilisateur est donc à son aise pour exercer une force de poussée ou de traction sur ces poignées et déplacer ainsi le ou les modules.In addition, the movable portion includes handling handles 620'-1 and 620'-2 to facilitate the operation of the shelter. The handles 620'-1 and 620'-2 attached to the structure 605 'of the facade can be fixed, retractable or removable. Like the 620-1 and 620-2 handgrips, the handles 620'-1 and 620'-2 are preferably attached to the moving part to allow users to easily maneuver the associated module when the movable elements of the facade are arranged in open position. They are advantageously located at a height approximately between eighty centimeters and one meter thirty above the terrace, preferably one meter ten. The user is therefore at ease to exert a force of pushing or pulling on these handles and thus move the module or modules.

Selon un mode de réalisation similaire à celui présenté sur la figure 6, les poignées de manutention 620'-1 et 620'-2 sont escamotables dans la structure de la façade, par exemple, par emboîtement tubulaire télescopique.According to an embodiment similar to that presented on the figure 6 , the handles 620'-1 and 620'-2 are retractable in the structure of the facade, for example, by telescopic tubular interlocking.

Alternativement, les poignées de manutention 620'-1 et 620'-2 sont escamotables selon un mécanisme utilisant, par exemple, un parallélogramme déformable, comme illustré sur la figure 7c. Selon ce mode de réalisation, deux éléments 710 sont fixés sur le bord supérieur de la partie mobile 615', ces éléments pouvant pivoter dans un même plan, par exemple le plan de la partie mobile. Les autres extrémités de ces éléments 710 sont fixées à la poignée de manutention 620'-1 selon le même principe de pivotement. Le parallélogramme formé par les éléments 710, par le bord supérieur de la partie mobile et par la poignée de manutention 620'-1 est donc déformable et peut prendre, en particulier, deux positions. Une première position permet de ranger la poignée de manutention 620'-1 le long du bord supérieur de la partie mobile tandis qu'une seconde position permet de déployer la poignée de manutention 620'-1 qui s'étend alors vers l'extérieur, au-delà du côté de la partie mobile, permettant à l'utilisateur de manoeuvrer aisément l'abri.Alternatively, the handles 620'-1 and 620'-2 are retractable according to a mechanism using, for example, a deformable parallelogram, as illustrated on the Figure 7c . According to this embodiment, two elements 710 are fixed on the upper edge of the movable part 615 ', these elements being pivotable in the same plane, for example the plane of the movable part. The other ends of these elements 710 are fixed to the handling handle 620'-1 according to the same principle of pivoting. The parallelogram formed by the elements 710, the upper edge of the movable part and the handling handle 620'-1 is deformable and can take, in particular, two positions. A first position stores the handling handle 620'-1 along the upper edge of the movable portion while a second position allows to deploy the handling handle 620'-1 which then extends outwards, beyond the side of the moving part, allowing the user to easily maneuver the shelter.

Comme en ce qui concerne la façade 600, la façade 600' peut être constituée de plusieurs éléments, chaque élément étant de préférence aisément démontable pour ouvrir au moins partiellement l'abri. Il convient de noter ici que le mouvement de la partie mobile de la façade est tel que cette partie peut être aisément démontée en prolongeant le mouvement de relevage. Cependant, pour éviter tout démontage intempestif, un cran de sécurité peut être utilisé de telle sorte que le mouvement de relevage de la partie mobile soit limité et qu'il soit nécessaire de déverrouiller le mécanisme pour prolonger le mouvement de relevage et ainsi démonter la partie mobile.As with the facade 600, the facade 600 'may consist of several elements, each element preferably being easily removable to open at least partially the shelter. It is right to note here that the movement of the movable part of the facade is such that this part can be easily disassembled by extending the lifting movement. However, to avoid any unwanted disassembly, a safety catch can be used so that the lifting movement of the movable part is limited and it is necessary to unlock the mechanism to prolong the lifting movement and thus disassemble the part mobile.

Le nombre et la disposition des éléments varient selon les besoins et les souhaits de l'utilisateur.The number and arrangement of items vary according to the needs and wishes of the user.

Ainsi, la façade décrite permet, en position relevée, d'enjamber les margelles sans risque de frottement au sol, quelle que soit la différence de niveau entre la margelle et la terrasse, sans nécessiter d'espace devant et/ou derrière la façade. Les poignées intégrées ou fixées à la structure de la façade offrent une bonne ergonomie d'ouverture de la façade et de manoeuvre de l'abri.Thus, the facade described allows, in raised position, to span the curbs without risk of friction on the ground, regardless of the difference in level between the coping and the terrace, without requiring space in front of and / or behind the facade. Handles integrated or attached to the structure of the facade provide good ergonomics of opening the facade and maneuvering the shelter.

Chaque module de l'abri est avantageusement réalisé par un assemblage de profilés, de pièces d'angle et d'éléments de surface, plans ou cintrés. La figure 8 illustre une partie d'un module 800 comprenant des profilés 805, des pièces d'angle 810 et des éléments de surface 815. Les profilés horizontaux situés dans la partie inférieure sont appelés les rives tandis que les profilés s'étendant d'un côté à l'autre de l'abri sont appelés les arceaux. Les profilés 805 sont de préférence réalisés dans un matériaux rigide, léger et au moins faiblement oxydable, tel que l'aluminium. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les profilés 805 sont emboîtés dans les éléments d'angle 810 et adaptés à recevoir les éléments de surface 815. Les profilés 805 et les éléments d'angle 810 intègrent avantageusement une structure adaptée à évacuer l'eau de pluie provenant de l'extérieur et l'eau de condensation provenant de l'intérieur.Each module of the shelter is advantageously made by an assembly of profiles, corner pieces and planar or curved surface elements. The figure 8 illustrates a portion of a module 800 comprising profiles 805, corner pieces 810 and surface elements 815. The horizontal profiles located in the lower part are called the edges while the profiles extending from one side to the other of the shelter are called the arches. The profiles 805 are preferably made of a rigid material, light and at least slightly oxidizable, such as aluminum. According to a particular embodiment, the profiles 805 are nested in the corner elements 810 and adapted to receive the surface elements 815. The profiles 805 and the corner elements 810 advantageously incorporate a structure adapted to evacuate the water. rain from outside and condensation water from the inside.

Les éléments d'angle 810 sont également réalisés dans un matériaux rigide, léger et au moins faiblement oxydable, tel qu'un matériau synthétique comme le nylon. Les éléments d'angle sont ici conçus de façon à réduire le nombre de types d'éléments d'angle nécessaire à la réalisation d'un abri. Ainsi, les éléments d'angle inférieurs sont en particulier adaptés à recevoir des roulettes, à recevoir un trolley pour créer une jonction mobile entre plusieurs modules, à recevoir des galets de roulement pour faciliter le mouvement d'un module par rapport à un autre, à recevoir des éléments de fixation pour maintenir l'abri au sol dans une position donnée et à évacuer les eaux de pluie et de condensation.The corner elements 810 are also made of a rigid, lightweight and at least slightly oxidizable material, such as a synthetic material such as nylon. The corner elements are here designed to reduce the number of types of corner elements needed to make a shelter. Thus, the lower corner elements are particularly adapted to receive casters, to receive a trolley to create a movable junction between several modules, to receive rollers to facilitate the movement of one module relative to another, to receive fasteners to maintain the shelter on the ground in a given position and to evacuate the rainwater and condensation.

Les éléments de surface 815 sont de préférence réalisés dans un matériau transparent ou translucide, résistant aux conditions extérieures telles que les variations de température et la lumière, comme le polycarbonate.The surface elements 815 are preferably made of a transparent or translucent material, resistant to external conditions such as temperature variations and light, such as polycarbonate.

La figure 9 illustre un exemple d'élément d'angle 900 destiné à maintenir les éléments de la partie inférieure de l'abri. L'élément d'angle 900 et son symétrique selon un plan vertical normal à l'axe longitudinal de l'abri, pour lequel la référence 900S est utilisée dans la suite de la description, sont adaptés pour joindre tous les profilés de la partie inférieure de l'abri, c'est-à-dire toutes les rives et toutes les parties inférieures des arceaux, pour tous les modules. Les éléments d'angle 900 et 900S sont également adaptés à joindre plusieurs modules de façon rigide ou mobile.The figure 9 illustrates an example of corner element 900 for holding the elements of the lower part of the shelter. The corner element 900 and its symmetrical in a vertical plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the shelter, for which reference 900 S is used in the following description, are adapted to join all the profiles of the part bottom of the shelter, that is to say all the banks and all the lower parts of the hoops, for all the modules. The corner elements 900 and 900 S are also adapted to join several modules rigidly or movably.

L'élément d'angle 900 est constitué de trois parties principales : une partie visible 905, une partie cachée 910 adaptée à recevoir un profilé vertical, c'est-à-dire la partie inférieure d'un arceau, et une partie cachée 915 adaptée à recevoir un profilé horizontal, c'est-à-dire une rive. Ces trois parties sont solidaires les unes des autres, l'élément d'angle 900 étant de préférence réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage ou usinage.The corner element 900 consists of three main parts: a visible part 905, a hidden part 910 adapted to receive a vertical section, that is to say the lower part of a hoop, and a hidden part 915 adapted to receive a horizontal profile, that is to say a bank. These three parts are integral with each other, the corner element 900 is preferably made in one piece by molding or machining.

La partie visible 905 comprend une cavité 920, de préférence sensiblement cubique, formée sur la face intérieure de l'abri, une ouverture 925 formée sur la face avant et communiquant avec la cavité 920 et deux ouvertures 930 formées sur la partie supérieure de la face avant, ces ouvertures étant borgnes ou traversantes. Sur la face extérieure de l'abri, la partie visible comprend une cavité ouverte 935 formée selon un axe horizontal, adaptée à coopérer avec un profil horizontal emboîté sur la partie cachée 915 pour former une glissière adaptée à coopérer avec un dispositif de guidage tel qu'un trolley.The visible portion 905 comprises a cavity 920, preferably substantially cubic, formed on the inner face of the shelter, an opening 925 formed on the front face and communicating with the cavity 920 and two openings 930 formed on the upper part of the face before, these openings being blind or through. On the outer face of the shelter, the visible part comprises an open cavity 935 formed along a horizontal axis, adapted to cooperate with a horizontal profile fitted on the hidden part 915 to form a slide adapted to cooperate with a guiding device such as a trolley.

La partie cachée 910 comprend ici une ouverture traversante verticale 940 adaptée à évacuer une partie des eaux de condensation et/ou de ruissellement.The hidden portion 910 here comprises a vertical through opening 940 adapted to evacuate a portion of the condensation water and / or runoff.

La partie cachée 915 comprend une ouverture 945 apte à recevoir une roulette, simple ou à réa, dont l'axe de rotation est maintenu dans une ouverture 950 formée dans la partie cachée 915, selon un axe horizontal perpendiculaire à l'axe d'emboîtement d'une rive sur la partie cachée 915, permettant le roulement de l'élément d'angle 900 (et donc du module) sur le sol.The hidden portion 915 comprises an opening 945 adapted to receive a wheel, simple or sheave, whose axis of rotation is maintained in an opening 950 formed in the hidden part 915, along a horizontal axis perpendicular to the interlocking axis a bank on the hidden portion 915, allowing the rolling of the corner element 900 (and therefore the module) on the ground.

La forme ouverte de l'orifice 950 accueillant l'axe de la roulette permet d'envisager une fixation de la roulette par clip permettant un changement rapide de roulette dans le cadre du service après vente ou du type de roulette (simple ou à réas) dans le cadre d'un changement de configuration de roulage sans avoir à démonter tout ou partie de la toiture.The open form of the opening 950 accommodating the axis of the wheel allows to consider a fixing of the wheel by clip allowing a quick change of wheel in the context of after sales service or the type of roulette (single or sheave) as part of a change in driving configuration without dismantling all or part of the roof.

Le guidage entre les différents modules est de préférence assuré par une liaison rigide à l'une des extrémités des modules et une liaison par contact à galet à l'autre extrémité des modules.Guiding between the different modules is preferably provided by a rigid connection at one end of the modules and a contact roller contact at the other end of the modules.

La cavité sensiblement cubique 920 est adaptée à recevoir un dispositif d'adaptation de l'élément d'angle 900, notamment un dispositif de guidage (liaison par contact à galet) ou un dispositif de jonction (liaison rigide par trolley) comme illustré sur la figure 10.The substantially cubic cavity 920 is adapted to receive a device for adapting the corner element 900, in particular a guiding device (roller contact connection) or a connecting device (rigid trolley connection) as shown in FIG. figure 10 .

La figure 10, comprenant les figures 10a et 10b, illustre deux exemples de dispositifs d'adaptation pour l'élément d'angle présenté sur la figure 9.The figure 10 , including Figures 10a and 10b , illustrates two examples of adaptation devices for the corner element presented on the figure 9 .

La figure 10a représente un dispositif de guidage 1000-1 par trolley. Le dispositif de guidage 1000-1 comprend un corps 1005 ayant sensiblement la forme de la cavité 920 et adapté à être inséré dans cette cavité ainsi qu'un mécanisme de fixation 1010, par exemple une vis ou une tige pouvant être maintenue par un clip. L'utilisation d'une vis offre la particularité d'être manoeuvrée de l'extérieur de l'abri et de pouvoir régler la profondeur du trolley selon l'écartement entre deux modules.The figure 10a represents a guiding device 1000-1 by trolley. The guide device 1000-1 comprises a body 1005 having substantially the shape of the cavity 920 and adapted to be inserted into this cavity and a fastening mechanism 1010, for example a screw or a rod that can be held by a clip. The use of a screw has the particularity of being manipulated from outside the shelter and being able to adjust the depth of the trolley according to the spacing between two modules.

Le dispositif 1000-1 comprend également un trolley 1015 maintenu en partie dans le corps 1005 du dispositif selon une jonction mobile permettant un mouvement de translation par rapport à un axe vertical. La jonction entre le trolley 1015 et le corps 1005 peut être réalisée, par exemple, au moyen de protubérances 1020 et d'ouvertures oblongues verticales 1025 disposées de part et d'autre du dispositif 1000-1. L'autre extrémité du trolley 1015 est adaptée à coopérer, en particulier, avec la cavité 935 de l'élément d'angle 900, permettant un mouvement de translation horizontal. De façon plus générale, le trolley 1015 est inséré dans une rainure courant le long de la rive du module immédiatement intérieur et permet, après réglage, un maintien rigide entre les deux modules. Les variations de différence de niveau entre deux modules voisins de tailles différentes et en translation relative l'un par rapport à l'autre sont absorbées en temps réel durant la manoeuvre de l'abri.The device 1000-1 also comprises a trolley 1015 partially held in the body 1005 of the device according to a mobile junction allowing a translation movement with respect to a vertical axis. The junction between the trolley 1015 and the body 1005 can be achieved, for example, by means of protuberances 1020 and vertical oblong openings 1025 disposed on either side of the device 1000-1. The other end of the trolley 1015 is adapted to cooperate, in particular, with the cavity 935 of the corner element 900, allowing a horizontal translational movement. More generally, the trolley 1015 is inserted into a groove running along the bank of the module immediately inside and allows, after adjustment, a rigid support between the two modules. Level difference variations between two neighboring modules of different sizes and in relative translation relative to each other are absorbed in real time during the operation of the shelter.

La particularité de ce système est de pouvoir mettre en place et enlever le trolley de manière simple et rapide. Le réglage en hauteur est « automatique » et le réglage en profondeur est effectué par le monteur ou le technicien du service après vente de l'extérieur de l'abri à l'aide du moyen de fixation 1010. La forme courbe du trolley assure la compensation en hauteur lorsque la différence de hauteur entre la margelle et la terrasse est élevée.The peculiarity of this system is to be able to set up and remove the trolley in a simple and fast way. The height adjustment is "automatic" and the depth adjustment is carried out by the fitter or service technician from outside the shelter using the fastening means 1010. The curved shape of the trolley ensures the compensation in height when the height difference between the coping and the terrace is high.

Alternativement, la cavité 920 peut recevoir un dispositif de jonction 1000-2 comme représenté sur la figure 10b. Comme le dispositif 1000-1, le dispositif 1000-2 comprend un corps 1025 et un moyen de fixation 1030 permettant l'insertion et la fixation du dispositif 1000-2 dans la cavité 920. Le corps 1025 du dispositif 1000-2 comprend en outre une ouverture 1035, formée sur l'une des faces du corps, dont une partie est en regard de l'ouverture 925 lorsque le dispositif 1000-2 est en place dans l'élément d'angle 900. La forme de l'ouverture est telle que, lorsque le dispositif 1000-2 est partiellement engagé dans la cavité 920, il est possible d'engager une clavette 1040 comprenant deux gorges 1045 et lorsque le dispositif est totalement engagé dans la cavité 920, la clavette 1040 est maintenue en place rigidement par l'une des gorges 1045 et une partie de la paroi du corps 1025. La longueur de la clavette 1040 et la disposition des gorges 1045 sont telles que deux dispositifs 900 et 900S peuvent être rigidement maintenus l'un contre l'autre à l'aide d'une clavette 1040 et deux dispositifs de jonction 1000-2. Il convient de noter que la face avant du dispositif de jonction 1000-2, c'est-à-dire la face visible, est de préférence plane et alignée à la face interne de l'élément d'angle dans lequel il est inséré et maintenu en place pour boucher la cavité 920 afin de permettre le roulage d'un galet de guidage sur la partie interne de la rive dans lequel l'élément d'angle est emboîté.Alternatively, the cavity 920 can receive a junction device 1000-2 as shown in FIG. figure 10b . Like the device 1000-1, the device 1000-2 comprises a body 1025 and a fixing means 1030 allowing the insertion and fixing of the device 1000-2 in the cavity 920. The body 1025 of the device 1000-2 further comprises an opening 1035, formed on one of the faces of the body, a part of which is opposite the opening 925 when the device 1000-2 is in place in the corner element 900. The shape of the opening is such that, when the device 1000-2 is partially engaged in the cavity 920, it is possible to engage a key 1040 comprising two grooves 1045 and when the device is fully engaged in the cavity 920, the key 1040 is held in place rigidly by one of the grooves 1045 and a part of the wall of the body 1025. The length of the key 1040 and the arrangement of the grooves 1045 are such that two devices 900 and 900 S can be rigidly held against each other at using a 1040 key and two disposit 1000-2 junction yews. It should be noted that the face before the junction device 1000-2, that is to say the visible face, is preferably flat and aligned with the inner face of the corner element in which it is inserted and held in place to plug the cavity 920 to allow the rolling of a guide roller on the inner part of the bank in which the corner element is fitted.

La figure 11 illustre un élément d'angle 900, emboîté sur une rive 805, sur lequel est fixé un dispositif de guidage à galet 1100. Le dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 est fixé sur la face avant de l'élément d'angle 900 à l'aide par exemple, de vis insérées dans des ouvertures 1105 agencées en face des ouvertures 930 ici filetées. Le dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 comprend une cavité dans laquelle est fixé un galet 1110 pouvant tourner autour d'un axe vertical. Le galet 1110 comprend une partie située à l'extérieur du dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 de telle sorte que lorsque l'ensemble constitué de la rive 805, de l'élément d'angle 900 et du dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 a un mouvement de translation horizontal selon l'axe de la rive 805, le galet entre en contact avec un profilé (non représenté) situé en regard de la rive 805, selon la même direction, et permet d'éviter un frottement entre ces profilés. Les galets sont de préférence placés sur la face externe des rives par rapport à l'abri.The figure 11 illustrates a corner element 900, fitted on a bank 805, to which is attached a roller guiding device 1100. The roller guiding device 1100 is fixed on the front face of the corner element 900 to the for example, using screws inserted into openings 1105 arranged in front of the openings 930 here threaded. The roller guiding device 1100 comprises a cavity in which is fixed a roller 1110 rotatable about a vertical axis. The roller 1110 includes a portion located outside the roller guide 1100 so that when the assembly consisting of the rim 805, the corner member 900 and the roller guide 1100 has a horizontal translation movement along the axis of the bank 805, the roller comes into contact with a profile (not shown) located opposite the shore 805, in the same direction, and avoids friction between these profiles. The rollers are preferably placed on the outer face of the banks relative to the shelter.

Le dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 comprend avantageusement une patte de verrouillage mobile 1115 permettant la fixation de l'ensemble constitué de la rive 805, de l'élément d'angle 900 et du dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 au sol à l'aide, par exemple, d'une vis et d'une molette 1120. Lorsque la patte de verrouillage mobile n'est pas utilisée, celle-ci peut se rabattre, vers le haut, contre le dispositif de guidage à galet 1100. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif de guidage à galet 1100 comprend en outre un orifice 1125 adapté à recevoir l'extrémité de la vis de fixation comprenant la molette 1120 et à maintenir la patte de verrouillage 1115 rangée.The roller guiding device 1100 advantageously comprises a movable locking lug 1115 for fastening the assembly consisting of the bank 805, the corner element 900 and the roller guiding device 1100 to the floor using for example, a screw and a wheel 1120. When the movable locking lug is not used, it can be folded upwards against the roller guiding device 1100. In a manner of particular embodiment, the roller guiding device 1100 further comprises an orifice 1125 adapted to receive the end of the fixing screw comprising the wheel 1120 and to maintain the locking lug 1115 row.

Si la patte de verrouillage est utilisée sur un module monté sur rail, la patte de verrouillage est un élément équivalent ayant la double fonctionnalité d'anti-arrachement et de fixation.If the locking tab is used on a rail-mounted module, the locking tab is an equivalent element having the dual function of anti-pulling and securing.

La figure 12 illustre le montage de deux éléments d'angle 900-1 et 900s-1 sur une rive 1200-1 et le montage d'un élément d'angle 900-2 sur une rive 1200-2 permettant un mouvement de translation des rives l'une par rapport à l'autre selon leur axe longitudinal. La rive 1200-1 est située à l'extérieur de la rive 1200-2 par rapport à l'abri. L'élément d'angle 900-2 comprend un dispositif de guidage à galet 1100. L'élément d'angle 900S-1 comprend un dispositif de guidage par trolley (1015).The figure 12 illustrates the mounting of two corner elements 900-1 and 900 s -1 on a bank 1200-1 and the mounting of a corner element 900-2 on a 1200-2 bank allowing a translational movement of the banks relative to each other along their longitudinal axis. Shore 1200-1 is located outside shore 1200-2 from the shelter. The corner element 900-2 comprises a roller guide device 1100. The corner element 900S-1 comprises a trolley guide device (1015).

Le guidage long est assuré par le dispositif de guidage à galet monté à l'extrémité du module le plus petit, c'est-à-dire du module intérieur, à l'opposé du dispositif de guidage à trolley. Le galet du dispositif de guidage à galet est une pièce de contact permettant de maintenir les deux modules à une distance minimale, choisie et réglable, l'un de l'autre et de maintenir le positionnement relatif des deux modules durant la manoeuvre de l'abri. Ainsi, une fois en place et réglé, le galet 1110 vient rouler et prendre appui sur la face interne de la rive du profilé 1200-1. De cette manière, il se trouve caché derrière la rive.Long guidance is provided by the roller guide device mounted at the end of the smaller module, i.e. the inner module, opposite the trolley guide device. The roller of the roller guide device is a contact piece for maintaining the two modules at a minimum distance, chosen and adjustable, from one another and to maintain the relative positioning of the two modules during the maneuver of the shelter. Thus, once in place and adjusted, the roller 1110 rolls and bear on the inner face of the edge of the profile 1200-1. In this way, he is hidden behind the shore.

La figure 13, comprenant les figures 13a et 13b, représente un exemple de mécanisme de fixation pour ancrer l'abri au sol et prévenir tout déplacement intempestif lié à des conditions extrêmes de chargement de l'abri telles que des vents violents et une charge de neige. Un tel mécanisme de fixation peut notamment être utilisé pour l'hivernage des piscines. Comme illustré sur la figure 13a, une partie 1300 du mécanisme de fixation comprenant deux ouvertures ouvertes oblongues est insérée dans les gorges de clavettes 1305 disposées dans la partie inférieure des éléments d'angle 900-1 et 900-2. Il existe naturellement d'autres moyens de fixer, de façon amovible, la partie 1300 sur les éléments d'angle. La partie 1300, en appui sur le sol, a également pour fonction de caler l'abri et ainsi de soulager la pression exercée sur les roulettes. Ce rôle « anti-écrasement » permet notamment d'éviter la déformation des roulettes. L'autre extrémité du mécanisme de fixation 1300 comprend une forme adaptée à coopérer avec une seconde partie 1310 du mécanisme de fixation (figure 13b). La seconde partie 1310 du mécanisme de fixation comprend ici une ouverture permettant de fixer cette partie au sol à l'aide, par exemple, d'une vis (non représentée). Un mécanisme de fixation est de préférence disposé à chaque extrémité de module et à chaque liaison inter-module, c'est-à-dire entre deux toitures solidaires.The figure 13 , including Figures 13a and 13b , represents an example of a fastening mechanism to anchor the shelter to the ground and prevent any inadvertent movement due to extreme loading conditions of the shelter such as high winds and snow load. Such a fixing mechanism can in particular be used for winterizing swimming pools. As illustrated on the figure 13a a part 1300 of the fastening mechanism comprising two oblong open openings is inserted into the key grooves 1305 disposed in the lower part of the corner elements 900-1 and 900-2. There are of course other means of removably attaching the portion 1300 to the corner elements. Part 1300, resting on the ground, also has the function of wedging the shelter and thus relieve the pressure exerted on the wheels. This "anti-crushing" role makes it possible in particular to avoid the deformation of the rollers. The other end of the fastening mechanism 1300 comprises a shape adapted to cooperate with a second part 1310 of the fastening mechanism ( figure 13b ). The second part 1310 of the fixing mechanism here comprises an opening for fixing this part to the ground using, for example, a screw (not shown). A fixing mechanism is preferably arranged at each module end and at each inter-module link, that is to say between two integral roofs.

Une infiltration d'eau de condensation ou d'eau de ruissellement étant toujours possible, même au travers du joint mis en place autour des éléments de surfaces, un système d'évacuation d'eau est intégré à l'abri pour permettre à l'eau de s'écouler et de ne pas stagner dans la feuillure des traverses, ce qui peut entraîner des dégât importants en hiver par temps de gel. Le principe est de créer, par perçage, des évacuations d'eau dans les pièces de jonction. L'évacuation d'eau se fait par écoulement dans les traverses jusqu'aux pièces de jonction. A partir de là, l'eau du pan cintré s'écoule dans le bassin. De même, l'eau du pan droit s'écoulera dans les profils jusqu'à la margelle via le bloc d'angle comme illustré sur la figure 14.An infiltration of condensation water or runoff water is always possible, even through the seal placed around the surface elements, a water evacuation system is integrated into the shelter to allow the water to flow and not stagnate in the rabbet rebar, which can cause significant damage in winter frost. The principle is to create, by drilling, evacuations of water in the joining pieces. Water is drained through the sleepers to the connecting pieces. From there, the curved pan water flows into the basin. In the same way, the water of the right pan will flow in the profiles until the coping via the block of angle as illustrated on the figure 14 .

De façon avantageuse un balai est disposé devant chaque roulette pour enlever les éléments tels que des cailloux qui pourraient entraver le bon roulement des roulettes.Advantageously a broom is disposed in front of each wheel to remove the elements such as pebbles that could hinder the smooth roll of the wheels.

Naturellement, pour satisfaire des besoins spécifiques, une personne compétente dans le domaine de l'invention pourra appliquer des modifications dans la description précédente.Naturally, to meet specific needs, a person skilled in the field of the invention may apply modifications in the foregoing description.
