Abstract

The swimming pool safety device comprises a net spanning the area of the pool which is brought to the surface by inflatable floats if a wave, caused by an object falling into the pool, is detected. The net is spanned across a rectangular frame (1) which rests at the bottom (7) of the pool. Inflatable floats (6) are fitted to the frame, and have a flexible hose coupling to a source of compressed air (8). A detector (11) mounted on the edge of the pool at the water surface (10) operates a solenoid valve (12) which releases air into the floats, lifting the net to the surface. The detector then disconnects (14) the electric supply to the solenoid valve to conserve air.

Description

L'objet de l'invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour piscines. The object of the invention relates to a safety device for swimming pools.

Il est destiné à permettre de ramener à la surface tout corps qui tombe accidéntellement provoquant sur la surface de l'eau un remous. It is intended to make it possible to bring to the surface any body which falls accidentally causing a swirl on the surface of the water.

Il n'existe pas actuellement de dispostiif de sécurité permettant d'assurer la remontée à la surface d'un corps qui tombe dans la piscine, tel un enfant et d'assurer d'une façon constante le sauvetage automatique d'une chute accidentelle se produisant pendant les longues périodes d'inutilisation de la piscine. There is currently no safety device to ensure the ascent to the surface of a body that falls into the pool, such as a child and to ensure in a constant manner the automatic rescue of an accidental fall. occurring during long periods of non-use of the swimming pool.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention supprime ces inconvénients et permet d'assurer le sauvetage de tout être humain, animal ou autre corps ou volume tombant dans la piscine et provoquant en surface un remous. The device according to the invention eliminates these drawbacks and makes it possible to ensure the rescue of any human being, animal or other body or volume falling into the pool and causing a swirl on the surface.

Il est constitué par la combinaison d'un cadre rigide avec filet occupant toute la surface du fond de la piscine solidaire d'un flotteur gonflable par déclanchement d'une électrovanne commandée par détecteur. It is made up of a combination of a rigid frame with a net occupying the entire surface of the bottom of the pool secured to an inflatable float by triggering a solenoid valve controlled by a detector.

Sur les dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention
La figure 1 montre vu en plan le cadre rigide.
In the accompanying drawings given by way of nonlimiting example of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
Figure 1 shows in plan view the rigid frame.

Les figures 2 et 3 représentent l'assemblage du cadre avec le flotteur. Figures 2 and 3 show the assembly of the frame with the float.

La figure 4 est une vue représentant schématiquement la commande du gonfleur. Figure 4 is a view schematically showing the control of the inflator.

La figure 5 montre dans son ensemble le fonctionnement du dispositif. Figure 5 shows the whole operation of the device.

Le cadre 1 (Fig 1) en métal rigide et léger tel l'alu- minium, a la dimension de la piscine 7. Il comporte un faisceau de fils résistants croisés 2, 3, formant une sorte de filet avec des liens suffisamment forts pour soulever une masse pesante et à mailles rapprochées pour ne pas permettre le passage d'un volume correspondant à l'encombrement d'un corps.  The frame 1 (FIG. 1) made of rigid and light metal such as aluminum, has the dimension of the pool 7. It comprises a bundle of crossed resistant wires 2, 3, forming a sort of net with sufficiently strong links to lift a heavy mass and close mesh to not allow the passage of a volume corresponding to the size of a body.

Ce cadre est immergé en fond de piscine dont il occupe toute la surface. This frame is immersed at the bottom of the swimming pool, of which it occupies the entire surface.

Il comporte sur son parement supérieur un profil d'ancrage 4 retenant l'attache 5 d'un flotteur dégonflé 6 (Fig 2, 3). It has on its upper facing an anchoring profile 4 retaining the fastener 5 of a deflated float 6 (Fig 2, 3).

Ce flotteur en fond de piscine 7 (Fig 4) est relié au gonfleur 8 par un conduit souple qui a une longueur suffisante 9 pour accompagner le flotteur jusqu'à la surface 10. This float at the bottom of the pool 7 (FIG. 4) is connected to the inflator 8 by a flexible conduit which has a sufficient length 9 to accompany the float to the surface 10.

Un détecteur sensible aux remous 11 est fixé à la hauteur du niveau moyen 10 et est relié à une électro-vanne 12 par la conduite 13. Il ouvre le passage de l'air de gonflage qui remplit le flotteur 6 et par son changement de volume 6' entraine le cadre 1 en surface (Fig 5). A swirl sensitive detector 11 is fixed at the height of the medium level 10 and is connected to a solenoid valve 12 by the line 13. It opens the passage of the inflation air which fills the float 6 and by its change in volume 6 'drives the frame 1 to the surface (Fig 5).

Tout corps ayant fait une chûte dans la piscine est remonté automatiquement à la surface (flèche A). Any body that has fallen in the pool is automatically raised to the surface (arrow A).

Un interrupteur 14 permet de neutraliser le détecteur 11 pendant l'usage normal de la piscine. A switch 14 makes it possible to neutralize the detector 11 during normal use of the swimming pool.

Le détecteur et l'électro-vanne sont préférentiellement reliés à des batteries de piles ou d'accumulateurs pour fonctionner même en cas d'absence de courant électrique. The detector and the solenoid valve are preferably connected to batteries or accumulators to operate even in the absence of electric current.

Cette sécurité est surtout utile pour les jeunes enfants qui hors surveillance tombent trop souvent dans les piscines généralement sans barrières ou clôtures. This safety is especially useful for young children who, without supervision, too often fall into swimming pools, generally without barriers or fences.

Le relèvement est très rapide et permet toujours d'éviter une réanimation. Recovery is very fast and always avoids resuscitation.

Toutefois les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments pourront varier dans la l imite des équiva- lents comme d'ailleurs les matières utilisées pour leur fabrication, sans changer pour cela la conception générale de l'inven- tion qui vient d'être décrite.  However, the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements may vary within the limits of the equivalents as well as the materials used for their manufacture, without thereby changing the general conception of the invention which has just been described. .
