VOLET FLOTTANT à LAMES POUR PISCINEFLOATING FLOATING COMPONENT FOR SWIMMING POOL
Domaine technique de l'invention.Technical Field of the Invention
Le présent brevet est relatif aux volets dits hors sol , qui s'enroulent sur un axe placé sur un des petits cotés de la piscine, à l'extérieur du bassin. This patent relates to so-called above ground shutters, which wind on an axis placed on one of the small sides of the pool, outside the basin.
Etat de la technique.State of the art
Selon la pratique actuelle, l'axe d'enroulement est placé très près du bord de la piscine, de telle sorte que lors du déroulement, les lames du volet descendent naturellement jusqu'à rencontrer la surface de l'eau, et continuent ensuite à l'horizontale jusqu'à couverture totale du bassin. Ce principe très simple comporte cieux inconvénients majeurs : - Impact esthétique défavorable, surtout à l'état enroulé, quand le volet se présente sous la forme d'un rouleau de grand diamètre. - Impossibilité de circuler au bord de la piscine, ce qui constitue une gêne, tant pour l'agrément d'utilisation que pour le nettoyage du bassin. According to current practice, the winding axis is placed very close to the edge of the pool, so that during unwinding, the shutter blades naturally descend to meet the surface of the water, and then continue to horizontal until full coverage of the basin. This very simple principle has two major drawbacks: - Unfavorable aesthetic impact, especially in the wound state, when the shutter is in the form of a roll of large diameter. - Impossibility to circulate at the edge of the pool, which is an inconvenience, both for the enjoyment of use and for cleaning the pool.
Objet de l'invention. La présente invention vise à supprimer le second inconvénient et à atténuer le premier. Elle consiste : - A déplacer transversalement l'axe d'enroulement, en l'éloignant du bord du bassin et en le mettant si nécessaire un peu plus haut. - A compléter le dispositif par un jeu de glissières organisées pour prendre en charge le volet dès le début du déroulement afin de le conduire jusqu'à l'intérieur du bassin. Object of the invention The present invention aims to eliminate the second drawback and to mitigate the first. It consists of: - To move transversely the winding axis, moving it away from the edge of the pool and putting it if necessary a little higher. - To complete the device by a set of slides arranged to take care of the shutter from the beginning of the course in order to drive it to the inside of the basin.

Description détaillée de l'invention. Sur la figure 1 représentant l'art antérieur, le rouleau 1 est à son diamètre maximum, son axe étant positionné de telle sorte que l'extrémité 2 du volet plonge directement dans l'eau quand on entame le déroulement. Detailed description of the invention. In Figure 1 showing the prior art, the roller 1 is at its maximum diameter, its axis being positioned so that the end 2 of the flap dives directly into the water when it begins the unwinding.
Ce positionnement interdit qu'on puisse circuler sur la margelle de la piscine, ce qui va à l'encontre de l'agrément d'utilisation, ainsi que de la facilité de nettoyage du bassin. This positioning prohibits that one can circulate on the edge of the pool, which goes against the ease of use, as well as the ease of cleaning the pool.
Sur la figure 2, le rouleau 1 est à son diamètre minimum. Le volet 3 est alors en place sur la totalité du bassin, et présente avec le bord de celui-ci un jeu a compatible avec les exigences de la sécurité. C'est en fait la valeur souhaitée pour ce jeu qui conditionne l'implantation de l'axe d'enroulement. In Figure 2, the roller 1 is at its minimum diameter. The flap 3 is then in place on the entire pool, and present with the edge of it a game has compatible with the requirements of security. This is actually the desired value for this game that conditions the implementation of the winding axis.
Sur la figure 3 de la présente invention, on voit que l'axe d'enroulement 10 porté par un support a été déplacé vers l'extérieur du bassin et légèrement décalé vers le haut. En l'absence d'autre dispositif, l'extrémité 2 du volet tomberait un peu au-delà du bord extérieur de la margelle. In Figure 3 of the present invention, we see that the winding axis 10 carried by a support has been moved outwardly of the basin and slightly shifted upwards. In the absence of other device, the end 2 of the flap would fall a little beyond the outer edge of the lip.
Pour conduire l'extrémité du volet vers le bassin, on dispose un jeu d'éléments de guidage 4 désignés ci-après glissières . Ces glissières sont étroites, légères, et en nombre croissant avec la largeur de la piscine (2, 3, 4, voire plus). En début de déroulement, l'extrémité 2 du volet est guidée vers l'intérieur du bassin par les glissières. To drive the end of the flap to the basin, there is a set of guide elements 4 designated below slides. These slides are narrow, light, and in increasing numbers with the width of the pool (2, 3, 4, or more). At the beginning of unwinding, the end 2 of the shutter is guided towards the inside of the basin by the slides.
Pour obtenir un bon fonctionnement, il faut : - Que la pente des glissières soit suffisante pour que les lames du volet aient naturellement tendance à descendre, par simple gravité. - Que le matériau constituant la glissière présente avec le volet un 5 coefficient de frottement aussi faible que possible. En effet, plus il est faible, moins on doit donner de pente aux glissières, et moins on doit remonter l'axe d'enroulement. - Ou, en variante, que les glissières soient munies de galets, courroies ou dispositifs assimilés permettant de remplacer, en totalité ou 10 en partie, le frottement par du roulement. Le nouveau positionnement du rouleau dégage une zone de circulation de largeur b , correspondant par exemple à celle de la margelle, mais pouvant être nettement supérieure si on le désire. Il suffit pour cela d'accentuer le décalage de l'axe d'enroulement, tant vers 15 l'extérieur que vers le haut. Les glissières 4, étant étroites et assez basses, ne constituent pas un obstacle majeur à la circulation, pouvant être facilement enjambées. Si on veut faire encore mieux, on peut les rendre facilement amovibles, par exemple en munissant chacune d'elles d'un pied 6 venant se loger dans 20 un trou pratiqué dans la margelle. On peut même placer plusieurs trous côte à côte pour une même glissière, afin de pouvoir donner à celle-ci plusieurs positionnements transversaux. On évite ainsi que ce soient toujours les mêmes zones du volet qui soient soumises au frottement. En variante, on peut rendre les glissières simplement escamotables par 25 pivotement. L'ensemble peut être harmonieusement complété par une plantation de végétation arbustive 5 qui, si elle est intelligemment choisie et taillée, permet de masquer partiellement le rouleau, atténuant ainsi son impact esthétique négatif. Notons que cette solution ne serait pas praticable avec 30 les volets classiques, car cette végétation constituerait alors un obstacle supplémentaire pour s'approcher du bord du bassin. To obtain a good functioning, it is necessary: - That the slope of the slides is sufficient so that the blades of the shutter have a natural tendency to descend, by simple gravity. - That the material constituting the slide has with the flap a coefficient of friction as low as possible. Indeed, the lower it is, the less slope must be given to the slides, and the less you have to go up the winding axis. Alternatively, the slides may be provided with rollers, belts or similar devices making it possible to replace, in whole or in part, the friction by rolling. The new positioning of the roll releases a circulation zone of width b, corresponding for example to that of the lip, but can be significantly higher if desired. To do this, it suffices to accentuate the offset of the winding axis, both outwards and upwards. The slides 4, being narrow and low enough, do not constitute a major obstacle to the traffic, being able to be easily crossed. If we want to do even better, we can make them easily removable, for example by providing each of them with a foot 6 which is housed in a hole made in the lip. One can even place several holes side by side for the same slide, in order to give it several transverse positions. This avoids that it is always the same areas of the shutter that are subject to friction. Alternatively, the slides can be made simply retractable by pivoting. The whole can be harmoniously complemented by a plantation of shrub vegetation 5 which, if it is cleverly chosen and cut, partially masks the roller, thus reducing its negative aesthetic impact. Note that this solution would not be practicable with the conventional flaps, because this vegetation would then be an additional obstacle to approach the edge of the basin.
Sur la figure 4, on voit le même volet en situation enroulée. Une partie de ce volet repose sur les glissières, qui doivent être configurées de façon à lui éviter tout contact avec la margelle, dont le matériau est généralement abrasif. Cette vue fait apparaître un problème en cas de vent violent soufflant selon la flèche V, et risquant de soulever cette partie du volet. On peut s'en prémunir en plaçant un obstacle continu 7 réalisé dans tout matériau adéquat. On peut aussi compter sur la haie de végétation 5, si elle a été prévue, pour constituer un écran anti-vent. In Figure 4, we see the same component in rolled situation. Part of this component rests on the slides, which must be configured so as to avoid any contact with the lip, whose material is generally abrasive. This view shows a problem in case of strong wind blowing along the arrow V, and likely to lift this part of the shutter. It can be guarded by placing a continuous obstacle 7 made of any suitable material. We can also count on the vegetation hedge 5, if it was planned, to constitute a wind screen.
Sur la figure 5, on voit un détail d'une configuration possible d'un galet 8, supporté par la glissière 4, et dépassant légèrement le bord supérieur de cette glissière. La zone du volet se trouvant au droit d'un tel galet est donc soumise à un roulement, et non plus à un frottement, ce qui facilite grandement la progression, et permet de donner aux glissières une pente relativement faible. On peut aller jusqu'à un roulement pur si les galets sont suffisamment rapprochés, mais on peut aussi se contenter d'une formule mixte roulement / glissement. Un bon compromis peut être de prévoir un seul galet par glissière, en le plaçant sur le bec 9 qui est le point le plus sollicité. (voir figure 4) Les galets peuvent être munis d'un revêtement en matériau élastomère, afin de diminuer le bruit du passage des lames du volet lors des manoeuvres. 30 5 In Figure 5, we see a detail of a possible configuration of a roller 8, supported by the slide 4, and slightly above the upper edge of this slide. The area of the flap located at the right of such a roller is therefore subject to a rolling, and no longer a friction, which greatly facilitates the progression, and allows to give the slides a relatively small slope. We can go to a pure bearing if the rollers are close enough, but we can also be content with a mixed formula bearing / sliding. A good compromise may be to provide a single roller per slide, placing it on the spout 9 which is the most stressed point. (see Figure 4) The rollers may be provided with a coating of elastomeric material, to reduce the noise of the passage of the shutter blades during maneuvers. 30 5
