Definitions

the present invention concerns a skimmer for swimming pools or swimming ponds, in particular for removing leaves or other dirt which may be situated on the surface of the water.
a skimmer for swimming pools or swimming ponds mainly consists of a housing in which can be provided a strainer or a filter that is pervious to water, and which housing is provided with an intake via which the water to be purified can be supplied, a discharge orifice through which the purified water can be carried back to the swimming pool or the swimming pond, an opening via which the strainer or the filter that is pervious to water can be cleaned and can possibly be removed to that end, whereby the skimmer is also provided with a tubular element which can be provided with a first open end and which can be connected to the above-mentioned intake, such that the second open end of the tubular element can serve as a point of inflow for the skimmer, which is then provided at a distance from the housing of the skimmer.
the skimmer thanks to the presence of the tubular element, can be provided at a distance from the swimming pool, such that the border tile must not be interrupted.
the opening via which the strainer or the filter that is pervious to water can be cleaned must be accessible and is usually covered with a lid which is incorporated in the border tile, in which has been provided an opening to that end or which is interrupted at the skimmer to that end.
the housing can be provided at a larger distance from the swimming pool edge, such that the lid can be provided next to the border tile.
tubular element can be made such that it can be placed exactly under the border tile, such that the water level can reach up to exactly under the border tile.
the tubular element is provided with connecting means such as for example flanges on one or on both far ends.
Such an extension piece preferably mainly coincides with the tubular element in order to restrict the costs for the mould and the stock costs.
Figure 1 represents a fitted skimmer 1 for a swimming pool 2 that is in use.
Figures 2 and 3 represent the skimmer 1 according to the invention in more detail, which mainly consists of a predominantly cylindrical housing 3 in which is provided a removable basket 4.
the housing 3 is provided with a removable lid 5 on its top to that end.
the predominantly cylindrical housing 3 is provided with a discharge orifice 6 onto which can be connected a non-represented return line and an appropriate pump.
a recess 8 which serves as an intake of the housing 3, around which is provided a standing edge 9 directed to the outside of the housing 3 onto which is provided a first flange 11 at the free end 10.
the first flange 11 has a rectangular shape in this embodiment and is provided with screw holes 12.
a reduction plate 13 On the first flange 11 is provided a reduction plate 13 in this embodiment, in particular by means of screws which work in conjunction with the above-mentioned screw holes 12, and between the first flange 11 and the reduction plate 13 is provided a first packing 14.
the reduction plate 13 mainly has outside dimensions in this case which correspond to the first flange 11, and it is provided with a predominantly rectangular opening 15 in this case.
a tubular element 16 On the reduction plate 13 is provided a tubular element 16 which is provided with a second flange 18 at its first free end 17 and over its entire perimeter, and a second packing 19 is provided between the reduction plate 13 and said second flange 18.
the tubular element 16 has a predominantly rectangular cross section which corresponds to the predominantly rectangular opening in the reduction plate.
the tubular element 16 is provided with a third flange 21, provided with screw holes 22 onto which can be provided a U-shaped decorative cover edge 23 by means of screws 24.
a third packing 25 is provided between the third flange 21 and the U-shaped decorative cover edge 23.
a non-return valve 26 hinge-mounted at the bottom to the tubular element 16 in this embodiment and provided with an inner space at the top which is not visible and which provides a driving power to the non-return valve 26.
a pump provided for example in the return line between the skimmer 1 and the connection of the return line and the swimming pool 2, makes sure that the surface water of the swimming pool 2 as well as the leaves and other dirt lying on the water is led through the skimmer 21 via the point of inflow.
basket 4 can just as well be replaced by another type of strainer or filter that is pervious to water.
the distance between the inlet point and the housing 3 in which the basket 4 is provided becomes larger, such that the lid can be placed past the border tile of the swimming pool 2.
the border tile must not be interrupted, which offers an enormous advantage.
the reduction plate 13 makes it possible to preserve the existing housing 3 of a known skimmer and, as far as the overall height is concerned, to neatly line up the lid 5 with the height of the sods on the one hand, and to provide the intake point exactly under the border tile on the other hand.
the packings provide for a good sealing and prevent leaks.
a second tubular element 27 is provided between the reduction plate 13 and the tubular element 16. Between the first tubular element 16 and the second tubular element 27 is in this case provided a fourth packing 28.
Such a second tubular element 27 makes it possible to provide the housing of the skimmer at an even larger distance from the inlet point.
