Definitions

• the wavebreaker of the invention comprises a disc-shaped element provided with radial fins on at least one of its faces, this element being provided with an axial bore for the passage of the line cord flotation device, wavebreaker characterized in that the axial bore constitutes the internal wall of a sealed hollow enclosure on the external wall of which the disk provided with fins is formed.
• the disc is arranged perpendicular to the middle of the length of the hollow enclosure.
• the disc is provided with perforations distributed over its entire surface and the radial fins are provided on each of the faces of the disc.
• the perforations distributed over the disc have a smaller diameter in its central zone.
• the circular crown has an identical height relative to each of the faces of the disc and a height less than that of the fins.
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the wavebreaker
• FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the wavebreaker of FIG. 1,
• FIG. 5 - Figure 3 is a section along A-A of Figure 2.
• the object of the present invention is therefore the simple production of a wavebreaker for a floating line, in particular for a swimming pool, which ensures effective tranquillization of the surface of the water, on the one hand by its structure, on the other hand by its position in the water and more precisely by its position perpendicular to the surface of the water.
• the wavebreaker thus comprises an integrated float, disposed in the immediate vicinity of its center constituting the passage of the rope and thus ensuring its flotation.
• the wavebreaker is preferably made of plastic material and comprises a disc of circular cross-section 0 of small thickness 1, formed perpendicular to the middle of the length of a hub 2 which constitutes a sealed and annular hollow cylin ⁇ dre of which l 'axial opening 3 forms the passage of the rope or cable of the waterline. 5
• the combination of the disc, the float in its central zone and the rope along the axis of the wavebreaker, ensures the correct positioning of this wavebreaker on the surface of the water and the flotation of the rope along which these wavebreaks are regularly distributed.
• the hollow housing 2 is generally shaped cy ⁇ lindrique, with circular section and is obtained directly in a single piece by molding, with an end orifice ⁇ 2 which is then closed by bonding a cap my ⁇ plastic 2 2 • 35
• the axial bore 3 is thus, in this con- truction, delimited by the internal wall of the hollow enclosure 2 and the rope of the waterline is therefore surrounded coaxially by the enclosure forming a float over a considerable length.
• the disc 1 is provided with perfo ⁇ rations 4 the diameter of which decreases from the periphery of the disc and towards its center in order to form, for water, an increasingly large dam as it approaches from the axis of the wavebreaker.
• the disc is also provided, on its two faces, with radial fins 5 coming from molding.
• the fins 5 of the two fa ⁇ which are of identical height, are angularly offset relative to each other and are integral by their internal edge with the external wall of the hollow enclosure of which it also constitutes ra ⁇ dials.
• the disc 1 is arranged perpen ⁇ diculously in the middle of the length of the hollow enclosure and this hollow enclosure extends substantially over the entire height of the fins formed on the two faces of the disc 1, these fins being perpendicular to the disc. .
• the disc 1 is integral by its periphery with a crown 6 coming from molding.
• This ring 6 of small wall thickness and of generally cylindrical shape with circular section is of an identical height relative to each of the faces of the disc, this height, relative to each of the faces of the disc, being less than the height fins 5 which thus project on either side of the crown 6.
• the internal face of the crown 6 is, by molding, integral with the outer part ⁇ outer aunt of the fins 5 in order to ensure good rigidity to the assembly despite the small thickness of the disc, the fins and the crowned.
