Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

Le domaine technique de l'invention est une goulotte apte à être rapportée sur l'enceinte d'un bassin, de façon à former une piscine à débordement.The technical field of the invention is a chute adapted to be attached to the enclosure of a basin, so as to form an overflow pool.

ART ANTERIEURPRIOR ART

Le nombre de piscines à débordements d'accroît de plus en plus, ce type de piscine présentant des qualités esthétiques et un confort d'utilisation appréciés. Ce type de piscine comporte une enceinte périphérique, retenant l'eau, un trop-plein d'eau pouvant s'écouler, au-dessus ladite enceinte, pour se déverser dans un bac, dit bac tampon. Un système de filtration est généralement relié au bac tampon, de façon à filtrer l'eau et réinjecter l'eau filtrée dans la piscine.The number of infinity pools is increasing more and more, this type of pool having aesthetic qualities and comfort of use appreciated. This type of pool has a peripheral enclosure, holding the water, an overflow of water that can flow, above said enclosure, to pour into a tray, said buffer tank. A filtration system is usually connected to the buffer tank, so as to filter the water and reinject the filtered water into the pool.

Le bac tampon peut être disposé de façon adjacente à un côté de l'enceinte, de façon à collecter l'eau se déversant au-dessus de l'enceinte. Le débordement peut alors n'être prévu que sur le côté contre lequel est disposé le bac tampon. Lorsque le débordement est prévu sur l'ensemble des côtés de l'enceinte, la piscine est désignée par le terme « piscine miroir », une lame d'eau étant apte à s'écouler au-dessus de chaque côté de l'enceinte. Une goulotte périphérique peut s'étendre autour l'enceinte, de façon à collecter l'eau se déversant en dessus de cette dernière et à diriger l'eau vers le bac tampon. De même que l'enceinte, le bac tampon est un élément généralement maçonné, accolé à l'enceinte ou distant de cette dernière.The buffer tank may be disposed adjacent to one side of the enclosure, so as to collect the water flowing over the enclosure. The overflow can then be provided only on the side against which is disposed the buffer tank. When the overflow is provided on all sides of the enclosure, the pool is referred to as the "mirror pool", a water slide being able to flow over each side of the enclosure. A peripheral chute may extend around the enclosure, so as to collect the water flowing over the latter and to direct the water to the buffer tank. Like the enclosure, the buffer tank is a generally masonry element, attached to the enclosure or remote from the latter.

Cependant, en dépit de leurs qualités, ces piscines comportent certains inconvénients :

  • La réalisation de l'enceinte doit être effectuée de façon minutieuse, avec un ajustement de l'arase, c'est-à-dire du niveau supérieur de l'enceinte, homogène, de façon que la partie supérieure de l'enceinte, au-dessus de laquelle l'eau s'écoule, définisse un plan aussi horizontal que possible. Il en résulte un surcoût, lié à l'effort d'ajustement nécessaire pour que cette contrainte d'horizontalité soit respectée.
  • Le dimensionnement d'une goulotte périphérique nécessite des calculs hydrauliques précis, exigeant de bonnes connaissances dans ce domaine technique.
  • La conception du bac tampon exige également des calculs hydrauliques, de façon que le volume de ce bac soit correctement dimensionné. Une mauvaise conception peut rendre la piscine non opérationnelle.
  • La présence du bac tampon peut poser la question de l'application des normes de sécurité, car il s'agit d'un bassin, auquel les dispositions en vigueur devraient s'appliquer.
  • La réalisation d'une piscine à débordement doit être prévue dès la phase de conception. Lorsqu'une piscine standard a été réalisée, il n'est pas envisageable de la transformer en une piscine à débordement, sauf à engager des travaux complexes et coûteux.
However, despite their qualities, these pools have some disadvantages:
  • The realization of the enclosure must be carried out in a meticulous manner, with an adjustment of the arase, that is to say of the upper level of the enclosure, homogeneous, so that the upper part of the enclosure, the above which the water flows, define a plane as horizontal as possible. This results in an additional cost, related to the adjustment effort necessary for this horizontal constraint to be respected.
  • The dimensioning of a peripheral chute requires precise hydraulic calculations, requiring good knowledge in this technical field.
  • The design of the buffer tank also requires hydraulic calculations, so that the volume of this tank is properly sized. Poor design can make the pool not operational.
  • The presence of the buffer tank may raise the question of the application of safety standards, as it is a basin, to which the provisions in force should apply.
  • The creation of an infinity pool should be planned as early as the design phase. When a standard pool has been built, it is not possible to convert it into an infinity pool, except to engage in complex and expensive work.

L'invention adresse ces différents problèmes, et permet d'obtenir une piscine à débordement de façon plus simple, moins onéreuse, et pouvant être adaptée à des piscines existantes. Les avantages de l'invention seront mieux perçus à la lecture des exemples détaillés de réalisation.The invention addresses these various problems, and makes it possible to obtain an infinity pool in a simpler, less expensive manner, and that can be adapted to existing pools. The advantages of the invention will be better understood on reading the detailed examples of embodiment.

de telle sorte que le collecteur de chaque goulotte élémentaire est apte à collecter un trop-plein d'eau, s'écoulant au-dessus dudit support d'appui, et se déversant dans ledit collecteur à travers ladite ouverture.A first object of the invention is a chute intended to be assembled against an enclosure defining a basin, said enclosure defining a substantially horizontal border around said basin, the chute comprising a plurality of elementary channels connected to each other, each chute elementary comprising:
  • a collector adapted to collect water from the basin, the collector having a first side wall and a second side wall disposed opposite the first side wall, each side wall extending between an upper end; and a lower end, the collector also having a bottom, extending between said lower ends, the first side wall being intended to be applied against the enclosure of the basin, outside the latter;
  • the collector also having an opening, extending between said sidewalls;
  • a support support, connected to the first side wall, and extending substantially orthogonally thereto, said support support being intended to be applied on said edge;
such that the manifold of each elementary chute is adapted to collect an overflow of water, flowing over said support, and flowing into said manifold through said opening.

Avant l'assemblage de la goulotte contre l'enceinte, la goulotte et l'enceinte sont des structures réalisées indépendamment l'une de l'autre. La goulotte est assemblée contre une enceinte ayant été préalablement réalisée.Before assembly of the chute against the enclosure, the chute and the enclosure are structures made independently of one another. The chute is assembled against an enclosure that has been previously made.

Par sensiblement orthogonal, on entend définissant un angle compris entre 60° et 120°, de préférence compris entre 70° et 110°, et encore de préférence compris entre 80° et 100°.By substantially orthogonal is meant defining an angle between 60 ° and 120 °, preferably between 70 ° and 110 °, and more preferably between 80 ° and 100 °.

Par sensiblement horizontal, on entend s'étendant selon un plan horizontal, avec une tolérance angulaire de plus ou moins 15°, et de préférence plus ou moins 10° par rapport à l'horizontale.By substantially horizontal means extending in a horizontal plane, with an angular tolerance of plus or minus 15 °, and preferably plus or minus 10 ° relative to the horizontal.

Ainsi, chaque paroi latérale s'étend selon un axe transversal entre son extrémité supérieure et son extrémité inférieure, cet axe correspondant de préférence à un axe vertical. L'ouverture du collecteur peut alors s'étendre longitudinalement, c'est-à-dire parallèlement à la bordure de l'enceinte.Thus, each side wall extends along a transverse axis between its upper end and its lower end, this axis preferably corresponding to a vertical axis. The opening of the collector can then extend longitudinally, that is to say parallel to the edge of the enclosure.

Le collecteur prend notamment la forme d'un canal, ouvert sur l'extérieur, délimité par le fond et les parois latérales précédemment évoquées, l'ouverture étant opposée au fond. Le fond et les parois latérales forment des faces internes de ce canal.The collector takes the form of a channel, open on the outside, delimited by the bottom and the side walls mentioned above, the opening being opposite the bottom. The bottom and the side walls form internal faces of this channel.

Selon un mode de réalisation, au moins une goulotte élémentaire comporte un support d'ajustement, dont l'écartement vis-à-vis dudit support d'appui est réglable, de façon à ajuster un niveau de trop-plein d'eau, au-delà duquel l'eau du bassin s'écoule au-dessus dudit support d'appui et se déverse dans le collecteur.According to one embodiment, at least one elementary chute comprises an adjustment support, whose spacing with respect to said support support is adjustable, so as to adjust an overflow level of water, to beyond which the water of the basin flows above said support support and flows into the collector.

Il peut également s'agir un support dit auxiliaire, relié au support d'appui, et dont l'angle ou la distance vis-à-vis du support d'appui est ajustable par un deuxième moyen de réglage, notamment une tige filetée.The adjustment support may be a bar, configured to extend between the support support and the edge, the spacing between said bar and the support support being adjustable by a first adjustment means, in particular a threaded rod . It may also be an auxiliary said support, connected to the support support, and whose angle or distance vis-à-vis the support is adjustable by a second adjusting means, including a threaded rod.

Sa largeur est supérieure à 10 cm, et de préférence inférieure à 50 cm. La longueur d'une goulotte élémentaire, parallèlement à la bordure de la piscine, est typiquement comprise entre 30 cm et 300 cm, voire davantage, et est par exemple de 50 cm.The depth of the collector is greater than 10 cm, and preferably greater than 20 cm. It is typically between 10 cm and 1 m, and preferably between 20 cm and 60 cm. Its width is greater than 10 cm, and preferably less than 50 cm.

La goulotte peut notamment être assemblée audit bassin par un moyen d'assemblage, de manière à ce que la première paroi latérale de chaque goulotte élémentaire soit disposée contre l'enceinte, à l'extérieur du bassin, et que le support d'appui soit appliqué sur ladite bordure. Du fait de cet assemblage, le bassin devient un bassin à débordement.Another object of the invention is a pool, in particular a swimming pool, adapted to receive water and delimited by an enclosure, said enclosure defining a substantially horizontal border extending around the basin, the basin having a chute as described in this application. The chute may in particular be assembled to said basin by an assembly means, so that the first lateral wall of each elementary trough is disposed against the enclosure, outside the basin, and that the support support is applied on said border. Because of this assembly, the basin becomes an overflow basin.

Le bassin peut comporter des dalles, dites dalles de finition, disposées sur ledit support d'appui, de telle sorte que l'eau est apte à s'écouler du bassin, vers la goulotte, au-dessus desdites dalles. La goulotte est telle que l'eau s'écoule du bassin, vers la goulotte, au-dessus du support d'appui.The basin may comprise slabs, called finishing slabs, disposed on said support support, so that the water is able to flow from the basin to the chute, above said slabs.

Selon un mode de réalisation, au moins une goulotte élémentaire, et de préférence chaque goulotte élémentaire, comporte un support d'ajustement tel que décrit dans cette demande.

EXPOSE DE MODES DE REALISATION PARTICULIERSDESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS

La figure 1 représente une vue de coupe d'une piscine 1 sur laquelle a été rapportée une goulotte selon l'invention. La goulotte comporte une pluralité de goulottes élémentaires 10 assemblées les unes aux autres, autour de tout ou partie du périmètre de la piscine. Plus précisément, la piscine 1 est délimitée par une enceinte 5. Cette enceinte peut être maçonnée, ou être réalisée en matière plastique ou polymère ou en bois ou encore en utilisant des matériaux métalliques. Elle comporte une face interne 5i, apte à entrer au contact de l'eau, et une face externe 5e. La face interne 5i et la face externe 5e s'étendent selon un axe vertical Z. L'enceinte définit également une bordure 5s, reliant la face interne 5i et la face externe 5e, à proximité du niveau d'eau maximal de la piscine. La bordure 5s s'étend selon un plan sensiblement horizontal, autour de la piscine, en dessous du niveau d'eau maximal de la piscine. La distance entre la bordure 5s et le niveau d'eau maximal de la piscine est généralement inférieure à 1 cm mais peut atteindre 10 cm voire davantage lorsque des dalles, dites dalles de finition, sont disposées sur la bordure.The figure 1 represents a sectional view of a pool 1 on which has been reported a chute according to the invention. The chute has a plurality of elementary chutes 10 assembled to each other around all or part of the perimeter of the pool. More specifically, the pool 1 is delimited by an enclosure 5. This enclosure may be masonry, or be made of plastic or polymer or wood or using metal materials. It has an inner face 5i, adapted to come into contact with water, and an outer face 5e. The inner face 5i and the outer face 5e extend along a vertical axis Z. The enclosure also defines a border 5s, connecting the inner face 5i and the outer face 5e, near the maximum water level of the pool. The border 5s extends according to a plane substantially horizontal, around the pool, below the maximum water level of the pool. The distance between the edge 5s and the maximum water level of the pool is generally less than 1 cm but can reach 10 cm or more when slabs, called finishing slabs, are arranged on the edge.

Comme vu en lien avec l'art antérieur, l'obtention d'une bordure 5s selon un même plan horizontal, autour du même côté d'une piscine ou autour de tout le périmètre de la piscine, suppose un soin particulier lors de la réalisation de l'enceinte 5, de telle sorte que cette bordure 5s, également désignée par le terme « arase », soit au même niveau sur le périmètre considéré.As seen in connection with the prior art, obtaining a border 5s in the same horizontal plane, around the same side of a pool or around the entire perimeter of the pool, requires particular care during the realization of the enclosure 5, so that this border 5s, also known as the term "arase", is at the same level on the perimeter considered.

Sur l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1, des dalles de finition 6 sont disposées sur la bordure 5s. Ces dalles définissent le niveau d'eau maximal de la piscine, au-dessus duquel un trop-plein d'eau 2' de la piscine s'écoule sur les dalles vers une goulotte élémentaire 10 de la goulotte. Cet écoulement, le long de la dalle, est désigné par le terme « lame d'eau ».In the example shown on the figure 1 , finishing slabs 6 are arranged on the edge 5s. These slabs define the maximum water level of the pool, above which an overflow of water 2 'from the pool flows on the slabs to an elementary chute 10 of the chute. This flow, along the slab, is referred to as the "water slide".

Chaque goulotte élémentaire 10 est assemblée sur l'enceinte 5, après que cette dernière ait été réalisée. Chaque goulotte élémentaire comporte un collecteur 11 qui, comme son nom l'indique, est apte à collecter l'eau s'écoulant depuis la piscine. Ce collecteur est délimité par une première paroi latérale 12 et une deuxième paroi latérale 14, ces deux parois s'étendant selon l'axe vertical Z. La première paroi latérale 12 s'étend entre une extrémité supérieure 12s et une extrémité inférieure 12i. Il en est de même pour la deuxième paroi latérale 14, cette dernière s'étendant entre une extrémité supérieure 14s et une extrémité inférieure 14i. Le collecteur 11 comporte également un fond 13, s'étendant entre la première paroi latérale 12 et la deuxième paroi latérale 14, au niveau de leurs extrémités inférieures 12i, 14i respectives.Each elementary trough 10 is assembled on the enclosure 5, after the latter has been made. Each elementary chute has a collector 11 which, as the name suggests, is able to collect the water flowing from the pool. This manifold is delimited by a first side wall 12 and a second side wall 14, these two walls extending along the vertical axis Z. The first side wall 12 extends between an upper end 12s and a lower end 12i. It is the same for the second side wall 14, the latter extending between an upper end 14s and a lower end 14i. The collector 11 also has a bottom 13 extending between the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 14, at their respective lower ends 12i, 14i.

Le terme paroi désigne notamment une pièce comportant deux faces s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement l'une à l'autre. Cette pièce peut avoir une forme de plaque.The term wall designates in particular a part having two faces extending substantially parallel to one another. This piece can have a plate shape.

L'eau peut se déverser dans le collecteur 11 par une ouverture 15 ménagée entre les première et deuxième parois latérales, et de préférence entre leurs extrémités supérieures respectives 12s, 14s. Ainsi l'ouverture 15 s'étend selon un plan sensiblement horizontal, entre les parois latérales, à l'opposé du fond 13. Le collecteur 11 forme ainsi un canal, dont une partie supérieure est ouverte. Les dimensions du collecteur doivent permettre un stockage suffisant d'eau, de manière à se substituer à un réservoir tampon. Ainsi, quel que soit le mode de réalisation, la profondeur du collecteur, selon l'axe vertical Z, est supérieure à 10 cm, et de préférence supérieure à 20 cm, est typiquement comprise entre 10 cm et 1 m. Elle est de préférence comprise entre 20 cm et 60 cm. Cette profondeur correspond à une distance entre le fond du collecteur et l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi latérale la plus éloignée. La largeur du collecteur, c'est-à-dire la distance entre la première paroi latérale et la deuxième paroi latérale, est supérieure à 10 cm, est de préférence inférieure à 50 cm. La longueur d'une goulotte élémentaire, parallèlement au périmètre de la piscine, est typiquement comprise entre 30 cm et 300 cm, voire davantage, et est par exemple de 50 cm.The water can flow into the manifold 11 through an opening 15 formed between the first and second side walls, and preferably between their respective upper ends 12s, 14s. Thus the opening 15 extends in a substantially horizontal plane, between the side walls, away from the bottom 13. The collector 11 thus forms a channel, an upper part is open. The dimensions of the collector must allow sufficient storage of water, so as to substitute for a buffer tank. Thus, whatever the embodiment, the depth of the collector, along the vertical axis Z, is greater than 10 cm, and preferably greater than 20 cm, is typically between 10 cm and 1 m. It is preferably between 20 cm and 60 cm. This depth corresponds to a distance between the bottom of the collector and the upper end of the farthest side wall. The width of the collector, that is to say the distance between the first side wall and the second side wall, is greater than 10 cm, is preferably less than 50 cm. The length of an elementary chute, parallel to the perimeter of the pool, is typically between 30 cm and 300 cm or more, and is for example 50 cm.

L'utilisation d'un tel collecteur permet d'éviter le recours à un réservoir tampon et aux contraintes de dimensionnement et de sécurité associées.The use of such a collector makes it possible to avoid the use of a buffer tank and the associated design and safety constraints.

La goulotte comporte également un support d'appui 16, s'étendant sensiblement orthogonalement à la première paroi latérale 12, c'est-à-dire sensiblement orthogonalement à l'axe vertical. Dans cet exemple, le support d'appui 16 forme un angle de 90° par rapport à la première paroi latérale 12. La goulotte élémentaire 10 prend appui sur le support d'appui 16, ce dernier étant rapporté sur la bordure horizontale 5s de l'enceinte 5. Des dalles de finition 6 sont disposées sur le support d'appui 16, au-dessus desquelles s'écoule le trop-plein d'eau de la piscine, en direction du collecteur, tel que représenté sur la flèche F1 de la figure 1.The chute also comprises a support support 16, extending substantially orthogonally to the first side wall 12, that is to say substantially orthogonal to the vertical axis. In this example, the support support 16 forms an angle of 90 ° with respect to the first side wall 12. The elementary chute 10 bears on the support support 16, the latter being attached to the horizontal edge 5s of the enclosure 5. Finishing slabs 6 are arranged on the support support 16, over which the overflow of water from the pool flows, towards the collector, as represented on arrow F1 of FIG. the figure 1 .

Le support d'appui 16 peut prendre la forme d'une plaque, ou d'une ou plusieurs tiges, s'étendant selon une distance, dite distance d'extension, de préférence supérieure à 5 cm par rapport à la première paroi latérale 12, selon une direction, dite direction d'extension, sensiblement orthogonale à cette première paroi latérale. De préférence, le support d'appui 16 s'étend selon une distance comprise entre 10 cm et 30 voire 40 cm par rapport à la première paroi latérale 12, selon ladite direction d'extension.The support support 16 may take the form of a plate, or one or more rods, extending at a distance, said extension distance, preferably greater than 5 cm relative to the first side wall 12 , in a direction, said direction of extension, substantially orthogonal to this first side wall. Preferably, the support support 16 extends at a distance of between 10 cm and 30 or even 40 cm with respect to the first side wall 12, in said extension direction.

Il est important de noter que chaque goulotte élémentaire 10 constitue un élément séparé de l'enceinte 5 de la piscine 1, et rapporté sur ladite enceinte 5 après la fabrication de cette dernière. Ainsi, la goulotte peut être formée sur une piscine existante, et non au cours de la fabrication de ladite piscine. Ainsi, chaque goulotte élémentaire 10 peut être assemblée à l'enceinte 5 de la piscine 1 par collage ou par des vis ou tout autre moyen d'assemblage simple. Cet assemblage peut être réalisé par la première paroi latérale 12 et/ou par le support d'appui 16.It is important to note that each elementary channel 10 constitutes a separate element of the enclosure 5 of the pool 1, and attached to said enclosure 5 after the manufacture of the latter. Thus, the chute can be formed on an existing pool, and not during the manufacture of said pool. Thus, each elementary chute 10 can be assembled to the enclosure 5 of the pool 1 by gluing or by screws or any other simple assembly means. This assembly can be performed by the first side wall 12 and / or by the support support 16.

Le collecteur 11 et le support d'appui 16 peuvent être monolithiques, en formant une seule et même pièce, par exemple obtenue par pliage d'une tôle métallique, par exemple en aluminium. Mais les inventeurs estiment qu'il est préférable que le collecteur 11 et le support d'appui 16 prennent la forme de deux pièces indépendantes, assemblées l'une à l'autre avant d'appliquer la goulotte élémentaire 10 sur l'enceinte 5 de la piscine 1. Ces deux pièces peuvent être réalisées en matière plastique ou en polymère ou en matériau composite, ou encore en utilisant un métal, par exemple d'aluminium. Elles peuvent être obtenues par un procédé choisi parmi le roto-moulage, l'injection, le thermoformage, l'extrusion, la pultrusion ou le filage.The collector 11 and the support support 16 may be monolithic, forming a single piece, for example obtained by folding a sheet metal, for example aluminum. But the inventors believe that it is preferable that the collector 11 and the support support 16 take the form of two independent parts, assembled to each other before applying the elementary trough 10 on the enclosure 5 of the pool 1. These two pieces can be made plastic or polymer or composite material, or using a metal, for example aluminum. They can be obtained by a process chosen from rotomoulding, injection, thermoforming, extrusion, pultrusion or spinning.

Lorsque l'eau 2 de la piscine 1 franchit le niveau de trop-plein, elle peut s'écouler dans le collecteur 11 d'une goulotte élémentaire 10, comme représenté sur les figures 2A et 2B.When the water 2 of the pool 1 crosses the overflow level, it can flow into the collector 11 of an elementary trough 10, as shown in FIGS. Figures 2A and 2B .

Sur la figure 2A, on a représenté une enceinte 5, comportant une partie supérieure 5s, sur laquelle a été appliqué le support d'appui 16 d'une goulotte élémentaire 10. La première paroi latérale 12 de cette goulotte élémentaire s'appuie contre la face externe 5e de l'enceinte 5. L'étanchéité dans le collecteur 11 est assurée par un élément d'étanchéité 19, par exemple une membrane étanche, s'étendant le long de la première paroi latérale 12, du fond 13, et de la deuxième paroi latérale 14, entre l'extrémité supérieure 12s de la première paroi latérale 12 et l'extrémité supérieure 14s de la deuxième paroi latérale 14. Des moyens de fixation 29a, 29b de cet élément d'étanchéité 19 sont ménagés sur les première et deuxième parois latérales, de préférence au niveau de leurs extrémités supérieures respectives. Ces moyens de fixation prennent dans cet exemple la forme de rails. Ces moyens de fixations sont également représentés sur les figures 2B, 4A et 7 décrites ci-après. L'élément d'étanchéité 19 peut être fixé aux parois délimitant le collecteur, c'est-à-dire les parois latérales et le fond, par soudure sur des supports préalablement installés. Il peut également être fixé à l'intérieur du collecteur 11 par soudure ou collage.On the Figure 2A , there is shown an enclosure 5, comprising an upper portion 5s, on which was applied the bearing support 16 of an elementary chute 10. The first lateral wall 12 of this elementary chute bears against the outer face 5e of the enclosure 5. The seal in the manifold 11 is provided by a sealing member 19, for example a sealed membrane, extending along the first side wall 12, the bottom 13, and the second side wall 14, between the upper end 12s of the first side wall 12 and the upper end 14s of the second side wall 14. Fastening means 29a, 29b of this sealing member 19 are formed on the first and second side walls. preferably at their respective upper ends. These fixing means in this example take the form of rails. These fastening means are also represented on the Figures 2B , 4A and 7 described below. The sealing member 19 can be attached to the walls defining the collector, that is to say the side walls and the bottom, by welding on previously installed supports. It can also be fixed inside the manifold 11 by welding or gluing.

L'élément d'étanchéité 19 du collecteur 11 est de préférence indépendant d'un élément d'étanchéité 9 de la piscine 1, le terme indépendant désignant le fait qu'il s'agit de deux éléments d'étanchéité séparés l'un de l'autre, et pouvant être de nature différente. Dans cet exemple, l'élément d'étanchéité 9 de la piscine est une membrane étanche, s'étendant en dessus du support d'appui 16, ce dernier étant appliqué sur la bordure 5s de l'enceinte 5. La goulotte élémentaire 10 peut comporter un moyen de fixation 9' de l'élément d'étanchéité 9 de la piscine, ce moyen de fixation se présentant, dans cet exemple, sous la forme d'un rail. Ce moyen de fixation, se présentant sous la forme d'un rail, est également représenté sur la figure 4A. Le terme élément d'étanchéité désigne, par exemple, une membrane ou un liner permettant d'assurer un confinement étanche de l'eau, soit à l'intérieur de la piscine 1, soit à l'intérieur du collecteur 11.The sealing element 19 of the collector 11 is preferably independent of a sealing element 9 of the swimming pool 1, the independent term designating that these are two separate sealing elements, one of which the other, and may be of a different nature. In this example, the sealing element 9 of the pool is a waterproof membrane, extending above the support support 16, the latter being applied to the edge 5s of the enclosure 5. The elementary chute 10 can have a fastening means 9 'of the sealing element 9 of the pool, this fixing means being, in this example, in the form of a rail. This fastening means, in the form of a rail, is also represented on the Figure 4A . The term "sealing element" designates, for example, a membrane or a liner making it possible to ensure a tight confinement of the water, either inside the pool 1 or inside the collector 11.

L'élément d'étanchéité 19 du collecteur 11 est optionnel. En effet, chaque goulotte élémentaire 10 peut être conçue de façon à pouvoir être étanche, l'assemblage entre deux goulottes élémentaires adjacentes étant réalisé avec soin de façon à ce que la goulotte, formée par l'assemblage d'une pluralité de goulottes élémentaires 10, soit également étanche.The sealing element 19 of the collector 11 is optional. Indeed, each elementary chute 10 may be designed so as to be sealed, the assembly between two trunks adjacent elementary elements being made with care so that the chute, formed by the assembly of a plurality of elementary chutes 10, is also sealed.

Sur l'exemple de la figure 2A, le trop-plein d'eau 2' se déverse dans le collecteur 11, à travers l'ouverture 15, en coulant sur l'élément d'étanchéité 9 de la piscine, ce dernier étant disposé sur le support d'appui 16.On the example of the Figure 2A , the overflow of water 2 'flows into the manifold 11, through the opening 15, by running on the sealing element 9 of the pool, the latter being disposed on the support support 16.

Selon un autre exemple, représenté sur la figure 2B, des dalles de finition 6 sont disposées sur le support d'appui 16 et le système d'étanchéité 9 de la piscine 1, pour des raisons d'esthétique. Le trop-plein d'eau 2' s'écoule sur les dalles de finition 6, au-dessus du support d'appui 16 avant de se déverser dans le collecteur 11, à travers l'ouverture 15.According to another example, represented on the Figure 2B , finishing slabs 6 are arranged on the support support 16 and the sealing system 9 of the pool 1, for aesthetic reasons. The overflow of water 2 'flows on the finishing slabs 6, above the support support 16 before pouring into the collector 11, through the opening 15.

Ces figures montrent que le support d'appui 16 est disposé en dessous du niveau maximal de l'eau dans la piscine, le trop-plein d'eau 2' se déversant dans le collecteur 11 au-dessus du support d'appui 16. L'eau peut s'écouler au contact du support d'appui 16, mais un autre élément peut être interposé entre le support d'appui et l'eau, par exemple un élément d'étanchéité et/ou des dalles de finition.These figures show that the support support 16 is disposed below the maximum level of water in the pool, the overflow of water 2 'flowing into the manifold 11 above the support support 16. The water may flow in contact with the support support 16, but another element may be interposed between the support support and the water, for example a sealing member and / or finishing slabs.

La figure 3A montre une représentation tridimensionnelle d'une goulotte élémentaire 10, cette dernière comportant des supports de protection 21a, 21b, aptes à supporter un élément de protection 22. Par élément de protection, on entend un élément obturant partiellement l'ouverture 15, de façon à permettre un écoulement de l'eau à travers cette ouverture, tout en bloquant des corps étrangers indésirables, de type feuilles, cailloux... Sur la figure 3A, l'élément de protection 22 est une grille, reposant sur un premier support de protection 21a ménagé sur première paroi latérale 12 et un deuxième support de protection 21b ménagé sur la deuxième paroi latérale 14. Ces supports de protection sont également représentés sur d'autres figures, notamment les figures 2A et 2B, ainsi que sur les figures 4A, 5 et 7.The figure 3A shows a three-dimensional representation of an elementary chute 10, the latter comprising protective supports 21a, 21b, able to support a protective element 22. By protection element, it is meant an element partially closing the opening 15, so as to allow a flow of water through this opening, while blocking unwanted foreign bodies, like leaves, pebbles ... On the figure 3A , the protective element 22 is a grid, resting on a first protective support 21a formed on first side wall 12 and a second protective support 21b formed on the second side wall 14. These protective supports are also shown on d other figures, including Figures 2A and 2B , as well as on Figures 4A , 5 and 7 .

La figure 3B montre une vue en coupe d'une goulotte élémentaire 10, l'élément de protection étant une dalle de protection 23, ménagée de telle sorte que l'eau provenant de la piscine puisse s'écouler autour de ladite dalle de protection 23 avant de se déverser dans le collecteur 11, à travers l'ouverture 15 partiellement obturée par la dalle de protection.The figure 3B shows a sectional view of an elementary chute 10, the protective element being a protective slab 23, arranged in such a way that the water coming from the pool can flow around said protective slab 23 before pour into the manifold 11, through the opening 15 partially closed by the protective slab.

L'élément de protection peut être considéré comme un élément de sécurité, prévenant la chute d'une personne, par exemple un enfant, ou d'un petit animal, dans le collecteur 11 de la goulotte élémentaire 10.The protective element can be considered as a security element, preventing the fall of a person, for example a child, or a small animal, in the collector 11 of the elementary chute 10.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, la hauteur de l'élément de protection 22, 23 par rapport au niveau de trop-plein d'eau ou par rapport au support d'appui 16 peut être ajustable. Pour cela, la goulotte élémentaire peut comporter un moyen de réglage de la distance de l'élément de protection par rapport à un support de protection 21a, 21b. Ce moyen de réglage peut comporter une tige filetée. Ce moyen peut également comprendre des cales empilables.Whatever the embodiment, the height of the protection element 22, 23 with respect to the level of overflow of water or relative to the support support 16 can be adjustable. For that, the elementary chute may comprise means for adjusting the distance of the protection element relative to a protective support 21a, 21b. This adjustment means may comprise a threaded rod. This means may also include stackable shims.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la goulotte élémentaire 10 comporte un support d'ajustement, dont la distance ou l'angle vis-à-vis du support d'appui 26 peut être ajusté. Cela permet d'ajuster un niveau d'eau, dit niveau de trop-plein, au-dessus duquel l'eau 2 de la piscine 1 se déverse dans le collecteur 11. L'avantage de ce mode de réalisation est que le niveau de trop-plein peut être ajusté sur chaque goulotte élémentaire 10. Cela permet de remédier à un défaut d'horizontalité de la bordure 5s, au niveau d'une ou de plusieurs goulottes élémentaires. En effet, comme mentionné en relation avec l'art antérieur, l'obtention d'une arase définissant un même niveau horizontal sur tout le périmètre d'une piscine est une opération délicate et constitue une source de surcoût lors de la réalisation d'une piscine à débordement. Des défauts de fabrication trop importants peuvent rendre la piscine inutilisable. L'invention permet, dans une certaine mesure, de remédier à un défaut de conception de l'arase, par une correction du niveau de trop-plein réalisée sur une ou plusieurs goulottes élémentaires. La correction peut varier d'une goulotte élémentaire à une autre.According to one embodiment of the invention, the elementary chute 10 comprises an adjustment support, whose distance or angle vis-à-vis the support support 26 can be adjusted. This makes it possible to adjust a level of water, referred to as the overflow level, above which the water 2 of the pool 1 flows into the collector 11. The advantage of this embodiment is that the level of overflow can be adjusted on each elementary chute 10. This overcomes a lack of horizontality of the border 5s, at one or more elementary chutes. Indeed, as mentioned in connection with the prior art, obtaining a level defining a horizontal level over the entire perimeter of a pool is a delicate operation and is a source of additional cost when performing a overflowing swimming pool. Too great manufacturing defects can make the pool unusable. The invention makes it possible, to a certain extent, to remedy a defect in the design of the aress, by a correction of the level of overflow carried out on one or more elementary chutes. The correction may vary from one elementary channel to another.

Un premier exemple de support d'ajustement est illustré sur la figure 4A, cette figure représentant une partie de la première paroi latérale 12 ainsi que le support d'appui 16, perpendiculaire à cette dernière. Dans cet exemple, on a représenté un support d'ajustement 17, se présentant sous la forme d'une barrette, sur laquelle s'appuie le support d'appui 16. La barrette 17 est disposée entre le support d'appui 16 et la bordure d'enceinte 5s. Un premier moyen de réglage 17a, prenant ici la forme d'une vis, permet d'ajuster un écartement entre la barrette 17 et le support d'appui 16. Cet ajustement permet de modifier une distance s'étendant entre la bordure 5s et le support d'appui 16. On comprendra que cela permet d'ajuster le niveau de trop-plein de l'eau s'écoulant au-dessus du support d'appui. Le recours à un moyen de réglage comprenant une tige filetée permet d'obtenir un ajustement précis de la hauteur de trop-plein définie par la goulotte élémentaire 10.A first example of adjustment support is shown on the Figure 4A , this figure representing a portion of the first side wall 12 and the support support 16, perpendicular to the latter. In this example, there is shown an adjustment support 17, in the form of a bar, on which bears the support support 16. The bar 17 is disposed between the support support 16 and the enclosure border 5s. First adjustment means 17a, here taking the form of a screw, makes it possible to adjust a spacing between the bar 17 and the support support 16. This adjustment makes it possible to modify a distance extending between the border 5s and the support support 16. It will be understood that this makes it possible to adjust the level of overflow of the water flowing over the support support. The use of a setting means comprising a threaded rod makes it possible to obtain a precise adjustment of the height of overflow defined by the elementary chute 10.

La figure 4A permet aussi de visualiser un moyen de fixation 29a de l'élément d'étanchéité 19 du collecteur, préalablement décrit en lien avec la figure 2A, un moyen de fixation 9' de l'élément d'étanchéité de la piscine 1, ainsi que le support de protection 21a décrit en lien avec la figure 3A.The Figure 4A also makes it possible to visualize a fixing means 29a of the sealing element 19 of the collector, previously described in connection with the Figure 2A , a fixing means 9 'of the sealing element of the pool 1, as well as the protective support 21a described in connection with the figure 3A .

La figure 4B représente un deuxième exemple de support d'ajustement. Ce dernier se présente sous la forme d'un support, dit auxiliaire, 18, dont l'angle et/ou la distance vis-à-vis du support d'appui 16, peut être ajusté au moyen d'un deuxième moyen de réglage 18a. Dans cet exemple, le deuxième moyen de réglage comporte également une tige filetée de façon à permettre un ajustement précis. Selon cet exemple, le support d'appui 16 est fixé sur la bordure 5s de l'enceinte. Le support auxiliaire peut s'en écarter ou s'en rapprocher, de manière à ajuster la hauteur de trop-plein définie par la goulotte élémentaire 10.The Figure 4B represents a second example of adjustment support. The latter is in the form of a support, said auxiliary, 18, whose angle and / or the distance vis-à-vis the support 16, can be adjusted by means of a second adjustment means 18a. In this example, the second adjustment means also comprises a threaded rod so as to allow precise adjustment. According to this example, the support support 16 is fixed on the edge 5s of the enclosure. The auxiliary support can move away from or approach it, so as to adjust the overflow height defined by the elementary chute 10.

La figure 5 représente une vue tridimensionnelle d'une goulotte élémentaire 10. Outre le support d'appui 16, les parois latérales 12, 14 et le fond 13, cette figure montre un support, dit support de couverture 25, faisant saillie vis-à-vis de la deuxième paroi latérale 14, et s'étendant de préférence de façon sensiblement orthogonale à cette dernière. Ce support de couverture permet de supporter des dalles de couvertures. Cela peut faciliter le raccordement de la goulotte avec une plage ou une terrasse adjacente à la goulotte comportant lesdites dalles de couverture.The figure 5 represents a three-dimensional view of an elementary chute 10. In addition to the support support 16, the side walls 12, 14 and the bottom 13, this figure shows a support, said support cover 25, projecting from the second side wall 14, and preferably extending substantially orthogonal to the latter. This cover support can support slabs of blankets. This may facilitate the connection of the chute with a beach or terrace adjacent to the chute with said cover slabs.

La figure 5 montre également des rails d'assemblage 26, s'étendant le long de la deuxième paroi latérale 14. Dans ces rails d'assemblage 26 peuvent être insérés des moyens d'assemblage 26a, permettant l'assemblage de deux goulottes élémentaires adjacentes, ces moyens étant représentés sur la figure 6.The figure 5 also shows assembly rails 26, extending along the second side wall 14. In these assembly rails 26 can be inserted assembly means 26a, allowing the assembly of two adjacent elementary chutes, these means being represented on the figure 6 .

Sur la figure 6, on a également représenté des armatures 27, s'étendant entre la première et la deuxième paroi latérale, et de préférence au niveau de leurs extrémités supérieures, de façon à s'opposer à un rapprochement desdites parois latérales. Ces armatures sont utiles notamment lorsque la goulotte est destinée à être enterrée ou contournée par une ceinture de béton ou de remblai, un tel cas de figure étant décrit en lien avec la figure 10. Ces armatures 27 préviennent une déformation de la goulotte élémentaire 10 sous l'effet de la pression s'exerçant, en particulier sur la deuxième paroi latérale 14.On the figure 6 reinforcements 27, extending between the first and second side walls, and preferably at their upper ends, are also shown, so as to oppose the approach of said side walls. These reinforcements are useful especially when the chute is intended to be buried or bypassed by a concrete belt or backfill, such a case being described in connection with the figure 10 . These reinforcements 27 prevent a deformation of the elementary trough 10 under the effect of the pressure exerted, in particular on the second lateral wall 14.

La figure 7 représente un exemple d'extrémité supérieure 14s de la deuxième paroi latérale 14. On a représenté un moyen de fixation 29b de l'élément d'étanchéité 19 du collecteur 11, se présentant sous la forme d'un rail, ainsi qu'un rail d'assemblage 26 décrit en lien avec les figures 5 et 6. Le support de couverture 25, précédemment évoqué, est également dessiné. Dans cet exemple, la deuxième paroi latérale 14 comporte un élément de fixation 30, permettant la fixation d'une couverture de protection de la piscine. Une telle couverture peut être une bâche, pouvant être fixée à cet élément de fixation 30. Cela permet l'utilisation d'une couverture de protection, de préférence souple, cette dernière recouvrant la piscine 1 et les goulottes élémentaires 10, en étant fixée à une ou plusieurs goulottes élémentaires équipées d'un tel élément de fixation 30. La protection de la piscine vis-à-vis d'objets indésirables de type feuilles, cailloux, ou vis-à-vis des intempéries, est alors assurée à moindre coût.The figure 7 is an example of the upper end 14s of the second side wall 14. There is shown a fixing means 29b of the sealing member 19 of the collector 11, in the form of a rail, and a rail assembly 26 described in connection with the Figures 5 and 6 . The cover medium 25, previously mentioned, is also drawn. In this example, the second side wall 14 comprises a fastening element 30, allowing the attachment of a protective cover of the pool. Such a cover can be a cover, which can be fixed to this fixing element 30. This allows the use of a protective cover, preferably flexible, the latter covering the pool 1 and the elementary channels 10, being fixed to one or more elementary chutes equipped with such fixing element 30. The protection of the pool vis-à-vis unwanted objects like leaves, pebbles, or vis-à-vis the weather, is then ensured at lower cost.

La figure 8 illustre deux goulottes adjacentes 10n, 10n+1 disposées de part et d'autre d'un coin de la piscine. On a représenté la deuxième paroi latérale 14n, 14n+1 ainsi que le support d'appui 16n, 16n+1 de chaque goulotte. Selon le plan horizontal, l'extrémité de chaque goulotte forme un biseau, selon un angle de 45°, permettant un raccordement optimal de deux goulottes adjacentes au niveau du coin de la piscine. L'angle de 45° est donné à titre d'exemple, lorsque le coin de la piscine définit un angle droit. Il sera naturellement adapté en fonction de la géométrie de la piscine, en étant de préférence égal, à quelques degrés près, au demi-angle formé par le coin de la piscine.The figure 8 illustrates two adjacent chutes 10 n , 10 n + 1 disposed on either side of a corner of the pool. The second side wall 14 n , 14 n + 1 and the bearing support 16 n , 16 n + 1 of each chute are shown. According to the horizontal plane, the end of each chute forms a bevel, at an angle of 45 °, allowing an optimal connection of two adjacent troughs at the corner of the pool. The angle of 45 ° is given as an example, when the corner of the pool defines a right angle. It will naturally be adapted according to the geometry of the pool, being preferably equal to a few degrees, the half-angle formed by the corner of the pool.

La figure 9 représente une vue tridimensionnelle d'une goulotte élémentaire 10, dont le collecteur 11 comporte différents éléments fonctionnels. Le collecteur 11 comporte une ouverture 32, permettant une évacuation de l'eau collectée, à travers le fond 13, vers un système de filtration non représenté. Le collecteur comporte également une ouverture de vidange 33, obturée par un bouchon de vidange 34, pour effectuer une vidange du collecteur en dehors du système de filtration. Le collecteur représenté comporte également une sonde 36, apte à déterminer qu'un niveau d'eau maximal a été franchi dans le collecteur, cette sonde permettant alors d'activer une évacuation de l'eau par l'ouverture 32, en direction du système de filtration. Cette sonde peut activer une pompe. De façon alternative, cette sonde peut entraîner la mise en place ou le retrait d'un couvercle sur l'ouverture 32, de façon analogue au fonctionnement d'une chasse d'eau. Le collecteur comporte également un tube 38 définissant un niveau de trop-plein de la goulotte élémentaire, au-delà duquel l'eau collectée dans le collecteur 11 s'écoule dans ledit tube.The figure 9 represents a three-dimensional view of an elementary trough 10, the collector 11 comprises different functional elements. The collector 11 has an opening 32, allowing an evacuation of the collected water, through the bottom 13, to a filtration system not shown. The manifold also comprises a drain opening 33, closed by a drain plug 34, for emptying the collector outside the filtration system. The collector shown also comprises a probe 36, able to determine that a maximum water level has been crossed in the collector, this probe then enabling the evacuation of water through the opening 32 towards the system. filtration. This probe can activate a pump. Alternatively, this probe may cause the introduction or removal of a lid on the opening 32, similar to the operation of a flush. The collector also comprises a tube 38 defining a level of overflow of the elementary trough, beyond which the water collected in the collector 11 flows in said tube.

On a représenté, sur la figure 10, une piscine à débordement 1 équipée d'une goulotte selon l'invention. L'espace autour de la goulotte a été comblé par du remblai 40, de façon à assurer une bonne tenue mécanique de la goulotte. Le remblai peut être remplacé par une ceinture de béton ou tout autre moyen ayant une fonction similaire.On the figure 10 , an overflow pool 1 equipped with a chute according to the invention. The space around the chute was filled by backfill 40, so as to ensure good mechanical strength of the chute. The backfill may be replaced by a concrete belt or any other means having a similar function.

L'invention permet une réalisation plus simple d'une piscine à débordement, dont le trop-plein d'eau forme une lame d'eau s'écoulant, au-dessus du support d'appui 16, et de l'éventuel support auxiliaire 18 vers le collecteur 11. Des éléments intermédiaires peuvent être disposés entre le support d'appui (ou le support auxiliaire) 18 et ladite lame d'eau, par exemple des dalles de finition ou un élément d'étanchéité. La goulotte s'installe aisément, en étant appliquée sur l'arase d'une piscine.The invention allows a simpler embodiment of an overflow pool, the overflow of water forms a water slide flowing over the support support 16, and the possible auxiliary support 18 to the manifold 11. Intermediate elements may be disposed between the support support (or the auxiliary support) 18 and said water blade, for example finishing slabs or a sealing element. The chute installs easily, being applied on the arase of a swimming pool.

Par ailleurs, bien que décrite en lien avec une piscine, l'invention peut s'appliquer à d'autres bassins, de type bassins d'agréments, ou aquarium, ou tout autre bassin apte à retenir un liquide.Furthermore, although described in connection with a swimming pool, the invention can be applied to other basins, such as amenity basins, or aquarium, or any other basin capable of retaining a liquid.
