Description

BARRIERE ESCAMOTABLE POUR TOUT TYPE DE PLANS D'EAU, RETRACTABLE BARRIER FOR ALL TYPES OF WATER PLANS,

NOTAMMENT UNE PISCINE NOTABLY A SWIMMING POOL

[01] DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTION [01] TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[02] La présente invention relève du domaine des dispositifs de sécurité pour plans d'eau, piscine notamment, et plus particulièrement du domaine des barrières de clôture d'un bassin. Plus précisément, l'invention porte sur une barrière escamotable qui est manoeuvrable entre une position déployée dans laquelle la barrière clôture le bassin, et une position repliée dans laquelle la barrière est escamotée pour libérer l'accès au bassin. [03] ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE [02] The present invention relates to the field of safety devices for bodies of water, including swimming pool, and more particularly the field of fence fences of a pool. More specifically, the invention relates to a retractable barrier which is operable between a deployed position in which the barrier encloses the basin, and a folded position in which the barrier is retracted to release access to the basin. [03] STATE OF THE ART

[04] Pour des raisons de sécurité, il est nécessaire de clôturer les plans d'eau, tel qu'un bassin de piscine ou analogue, lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés ou qu'ils sont laissés sans surveillance. Ces dispositions visent notamment à éviter les accidents par noyade, d'enfants plus particulièrement, en interdisant l'accès au bassin. Il est donc courant d'équiper les plans d'eau de barrières de clôture. [04] For safety reasons, it is necessary to fence off bodies of water, such as a pool or the like, when they are not in use or left unattended. These provisions aim in particular to prevent accidents by drowning, children in particular, by prohibiting access to the basin. It is therefore common to equip water bodies with fence gates.

[05] Un problème posé réside dans le caractère inesthétique de ces barrières, et dans leur encombrement. En outre, lorsque la piscine est sous surveillance, leur présence est rendue inutile. C'est pourquoi, il a été proposé de telles barrières escamotables. On pourra par exemple se reporter aux documents WO2004007873, US5630572 et FR2809432 qui décrivent des barrières de ce type. [05] A problem is the unsightly nature of these barriers, and their size. In addition, when the pool is under surveillance, their presence is rendered useless. Therefore, it has been proposed such retractable barriers. It will be possible for example to refer to the documents WO2004007873, US5630572 and FR2809432 which describe barriers of this type.

[06] Les solutions habituellement proposées impliquent des travaux de gros œuvre et des aménagements conséquents des abords du bassin pour loger la barrière escamotée. En outre, de telles barrières demeurent encombrantes, d'autant plus lorsqu'elles sont équipées de moyens motorisés pour leur manœuvre. [06] The solutions usually proposed involve major structural work and consequent adjustments of the surroundings of the basin to house the retracted barrier. In addition, such barriers remain cumbersome, especially when they are equipped with motorized means for their maneuver.

[07] On notera que le document FR2809432 propose plus particulièrement d'exploiter la présence de la barrière pour valoriser les abords du bassin, en lui conférant une fonction supplémentaire de plage lorsque celle-ci est en position au moins partiellement escamotée. Cependant, si une telle valorisation permet d'exploiter la barrière en position escamotée, son encombrement reste important et son installation sur site implique des aménagements conséquents des abords du bassin. [08] C'est pourquoi il a été proposé par FR2860258, une barrière escamotable de clôture d'un plan d'eau composée d'un couple de panneaux articulés l'un à l'autre. L'un de ces panneaux repose au sol pour former un chemin de circulation, tandis que l'autre panneau est destiné à former la barrière lorsqu'il est redressé. Ces panneaux sont à claire voie en étant formés de lattes fixées à distance les unes des autres sur des longerons. En position d'escamotage de la barrière, les lattes de l'un des panneaux sont logées entre les lattes de l'autre panneau pour former une plage autour du bassin. La barrière est manœuvrable par des moyens motorisés, constitués par un vérin en prise articulée à ses extrémités sur l'un et l'autre des panneaux. Ce vérin est agencé en béquille mobile entre une station inclinée en position déployée de la barrière, et une position rangée sous un caisson du panneau de sol en position d'escamotage de la barrière. [07] Note that the document FR2809432 proposes more particularly to exploit the presence of the barrier to enhance the surroundings of the basin, giving it an additional function of beach when it is in position at least partially retracted. However, if such a valuation makes it possible to exploit the barrier in the retracted position, its bulk remains important and its installation on site implies substantial adjustments of the surroundings of the basin. [08] That is why it was proposed by FR2860258, a retractable barrier fence of a body of water composed of a pair of panels articulated to each other. One of these panels rests on the ground to form a circulation path, while the other panel is intended to form the barrier when it is straightened. These panels are clear track being formed of laths fixed at a distance from each other on longitudinal members. In the retracted position of the barrier, the slats of one of the panels are housed between the slats of the other panel to form a beach around the basin. The barrier is manoeuvrable by motorized means, consisting of an actuator hinged at its ends to the one and the other of the panels. This jack is arranged as a movable stand between an inclined station in the deployed position of the barrier, and a stowed position under a box of the floor panel in the retracted position of the barrier.

[09] Il est apparu à l'usage que si une telle barrière permettait de résoudre les problèmes et inconvénients visés plus haut, elle méritait d'être améliorée. En effet, l'organisation à claire voie des panneaux implique qu'en position déployée de la barrière, le chemin de circulation formé par le panneau de sol n'offre pas un confort satisfaisant de stabilité pour l'utilisateur, voire n'offre pas une faculté de circulation sécurisée. Par ailleurs, les moyens utilisés pour la manœuvre motorisée du panneau de clôture sont encore encombrants, et sont source d'une gêne pour l'utilisateur, au regard notamment d'une aisance de circulation autour du bassin en position redressée de la barrière. [09] It has become clear that if such a barrier made it possible to solve the problems and disadvantages referred to above, it deserved to be improved. In fact, the clear organization of the panels implies that in the deployed position of the barrier, the circulation path formed by the floor panel does not offer a satisfactory comfort of stability for the user, or even does not offer a secure traffic ability. Furthermore, the means used for the motorized maneuvering of the fence panel are still bulky, and are a source of discomfort for the user, especially with regard to ease of movement around the basin in the erected position of the barrier.

[010] Le document FR2860258 enseigne une configuration améliorée de barrière qui est principalement reconnaissable en ce que les traverses du panneau de sol composent ensemble une plaque à travers laquelle sont ménagés des interstices pour le passage des traverses du panneau de clôture, qui sont constituées de tringles. Ces dispositions sont telles qu'en position déployée de la barrière, la surface de circulation offerte par le panneau de sol est quasi-continue. Il en ressort que le chemin de circulation offre une surface ne comportant que des interstices qui n'induisent aucune gêne quant au confort et/ou à la sécurité de l'utilisateur lorsqu'il se déplace sur le chemin de circulation. [011] Le document FR2977612 décrit l'utilisation de moyens d'emboîtement assurant un assemblage entre les longerons et les traverses du panneau de sol. Ces moyens d'emboîtement comprennent notamment des organes coopérants qui sont ménagés sur les longerons et sur les traverses, et qui sont constitués pour l'un par un ergot appartenant aux longerons et pour l'autre par un logement que comportent les traverses. Toutefois, ces moyens d'emboîtement ne sont pas adaptés pour combler les espaces entre deux traverses successives. En outre, ce système nécessite d'utiliser des ergots apparents. [010] The document FR2860258 teaches an improved barrier configuration which is mainly recognizable in that the crosspieces of the floor panel together compose a plate through which are formed interstices for the passage of the cross members of the fence panel, which consist of rods. These provisions are such that in the deployed position of the barrier, the traffic area offered by the Floor panel is almost continuous. It emerges that the traffic path provides a surface with only gaps that do not cause any inconvenience to the comfort and / or safety of the user when traveling on the road. The document FR2977612 describes the use of interlocking means ensuring an assembly between the longitudinal members and the cross members of the floor panel. These interlocking means comprise in particular cooperating members which are formed on the longitudinal members and on the crosspieces, and which are constituted for one by a lug belonging to the side members and for the other by a housing that includes the sleepers. However, these interlocking means are not adapted to fill the spaces between two successive crosspieces. In addition, this system requires the use of apparent pins.

[049] DESCRIPTION D'EXEMPLES DE REALISATION DE L'INVENTION [050] Les figures 1 et 2 montrent un élément de barrière 1 principalement composé de deux panneaux 2, 3 articulés l'un à l'autre suivant un de leur bord. [049] DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION [050] Figures 1 and 2 show a barrier element 1 mainly composed of two panels 2, 3 articulated to each other along one of their edge.

[051] L'un des panneaux 2 forme un panneau de sol destiné à être ancré sur le bâti ou le dallage bordant le bassin, tandis que l'autre panneau 3 est destiné à former un panneau de clôture. On comprendra que la barrière de l'invention est composée d'une pluralité de jeux de tels panneaux 2, 3 qui forment des éléments modulaires de la barrière et qui sont aboutés les uns aux autres pour en former les côtés, comme cela est décrit ci-après en référence avec la figure 12. La barrière 100 obtenue correspondante est destinée à être installée en bordure d'un plan d'eau tel qu'un bassin de piscine ou analogue. [051] One of the panels 2 forms a floor panel intended to be anchored on the frame or the pavement bordering the basin, while the other panel 3 is intended to form a fence panel. It will be understood that the barrier of the invention is composed of a plurality of sets of such panels 2, 3 which form modular elements of the barrier and which are joined one to the other to form the sides, as described herein. -After reference with Figure 12. The corresponding barrier 100 obtained is intended to be installed on the edge of a body of water such as a swimming pool or the like.

[052] Cet élément de barrière 1 est manoeuvrable entre une position déployée dans laquelle le panneau de clôture 3 est dressé tel que représenté sur la figure 1 , et une position repliée dans laquelle le panneau de clôture 3 est rabattu vers le panneau de sol 2 pour son escamotage afin de libérer l'accès au bassin tel que représenté sur la figure 2. Les panneaux de sol 2 d'une barrière forme ainsi un chemin de circulation que ce soit en position déployée ou repliée de l'élément de barrière 1 . Ce chemin de circulation formé par le panneau de sol 2 offre une faculté de circulation confortable et sécurisée pour l'utilisateur. [052] This barrier element 1 is operable between an extended position in which the closure panel 3 is erected as shown in Figure 1, and a folded position in which the closure panel 3 is folded towards the floor panel 2 for its retraction to release access to the basin as shown in Figure 2. The floor panels 2 of a barrier thus forms a circulation path whether in the deployed or folded position of the barrier element 1. This circulation path formed by the floor panel 2 provides a comfortable and secure circulation for the user.

[053] Les panneaux 2, 3 sont principalement composés de longerons 7, 24 portant des traverses 8, 23. Les traverses 8, 23 de l'un des panneaux 2, 3 sont décalées par rapport aux traverses 8, 23 de l'autre panneau 2, 3 en sorte qu'en position repliée de la barrière, les traverses 8, 23 de l'un des panneaux 2, 3 sont logées entre les traverses 8, 23 de l'autre panneau 2, 3 pour former une plage. [053] The panels 2, 3 are mainly composed of longitudinal members 7, 24 carrying crossbars 8, 23. The crossbars 8, 23 of one of the panels 2, 3 are offset relative to the cross members 8, 23 of the other panel 2, 3 so that in the folded position of the barrier, the cross members 8, 23 of one of the panels 2, 3 are housed between the cross members 8, 23 of the other panel 2, 3 to form a strip.

[054] Plus précisément, chaque panneau de sol 2 comporte un cadre 5 bien visible sur les figures 3a et 3b portant les longerons 7 en travers desquels sont fixés les traverses 8 à proximité les unes des autres. A titre indicatif, la distance de séparation des traverses entre elles est comprise environ entre 0,05 à 0,5 fois leur largeur. [055] Comme montré sur les figures 4a et 4b, les traverses 8 du panneau de sol 2 comportent chacune le long de deux de leurs bords longitudinaux opposés des moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12. Ces moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12 sont aptes à établir un écart constant entre deux traverses 8 adjacentes du panneau de sol 2 raccordées entre elles via lesdits moyens de liaison 1 1 , 12 lors d'un montage des traverses 8 sur les longerons 7 du panneau de sol 2. En outre, lesdits moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12 de deux traverses 8 adjacentes coopérant entre eux délimitent des cavités borgnes 15 aptes à recevoir les traverses 23 du panneau de clôture 3, comme cela est bien visible à la figure 4b. [054] More specifically, each floor panel 2 comprises a frame 5 clearly visible in Figures 3a and 3b carrying the longitudinal members 7 through which are fixed the cross members 8 close to each other. As an indication, the separation distance of the sleepers between them is between about 0.05 to 0.5 times their width. [055] As shown in Figures 4a and 4b, the cross members 8 of the floor panel 2 each comprise along two of their opposite longitudinal edges complementary connecting means 1 1, 12. These complementary connecting means 1 1, 12 are able to establish a constant gap between two adjacent ties 8 of the floor panel 2 interconnected via said connecting means January 1, 12 during mounting of the cross members 8 on the longitudinal members 7 of the floor panel 2. In addition, said complementary connecting means 1 1, 12 of two adjacent ties 8 cooperating with each other delimit blind cavities 15 adapted to receive the crosspieces 23 of the closure panel 3, as is clearly visible in Figure 4b.

[056] Dans un exemple de réalisation, les moyens de liaison complémentaires comportent d'une part une partie 1 1 en forme de cuvette issue d'un des bords longitudinaux de la traverse et d'autre part une partie 12 en forme de portion de cuvette issue de l'autre bord longitudinal de la traverse 8 apte à s'insérer à l'intérieur de la partie en forme de cuvette 1 1 ayant un creux ouvert vers le haut du panneau au sol 2 pour recevoir les traverses 23 du panneau de clôture 3. [056] In an exemplary embodiment, the complementary connecting means comprise, on the one hand, a bowl-shaped part 1 1 coming from one of the longitudinal edges of the cross-member and, on the other hand, a portion 12 in the form of a portion of cuvette from the other longitudinal edge of the cross member 8 adapted to be inserted inside the cup-shaped portion 1 1 having an open recess up the floor panel 2 to receive the cross members 23 of the panel fence 3.

[057] Comme cela est bien visible sur la figure 4a, la partie 1 1 en forme de cuvette a deux côtés latéraux 1 1 1 , 1 12 reliés entre eux par un fond 1 13 plein dont les côtés 1 1 1 , 1 12 sont situés de part et d'autre. Un des côtés 1 1 1 est relié à un bord longitudinal de la traverse 8 tandis que l'autre côté 1 12 situé à distance du bord longitudinal de la traverse 8 est espacé du côté 1 1 1 d'un écart E constant imposé par la largeur du fond 1 13. [058] La partie 12 en forme de portion de cuvette présente un seul côté 121 relié au bord longitudinal opposé de la traverse 8 destiné à venir se plaquer contre le côté 1 12 de la partie 1 1 en forme de cuvette portée la traverse adjacente 8. La partie 12 comporte également un fond 122 destiné à venir se plaquer contre le fond 1 13 de la cuvette portée par ladite traverse adjacente, comme cela ressort clairement de la figure 4b. [057] As is clearly visible in FIG. 4a, the cup-shaped portion 1 1 has two lateral sides 1 1 1, 1 12 interconnected by a solid base 13 whose sides 1 1 1, 1 12 are located on both sides. One of the sides 1 1 1 is connected to a longitudinal edge of the cross member 8 while the other side January 12 located at a distance from the longitudinal edge of the cross member 8 is spaced from the side 1 1 1 of a constant distance E imposed by the width of the bottom 1 13. [058] The portion 12 in the form of bowl portion has a single side 121 connected to the opposite longitudinal edge of the cross member 8 intended to be pressed against the side 1 12 of the portion 1 1 in the form of The portion 12 also comprises a bottom 122 intended to be pressed against the bottom 1 13 of the bowl carried by said adjacent cross, as is clear from Figure 4b.

[059] Les parties 1 1 et 12 s'étendent de préférence sur toute la longueur d'un bord longitudinal d'une traverse 8 en sorte que les écarts entre deux traverses 8 consécutives du panneau de sol 2 sont obturés par les fonds 1 13, 122 des moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12. [059] The parts 1 1 and 12 preferably extend over the entire length of a longitudinal edge of a cross member 8 so that the gaps between two 8 consecutive sleepers of the floor panel 2 are closed by the funds 1 13, 122 complementary connecting means 1 1, 12.

[060] Comme montré sur les figures 3a et 4c, chaque panneau de sol 2 comporte en outre des moyens de fixation 16 desdites traverses 8 sur les longerons 7 portés par le cadre 5 du panneau au sol. Les moyens de fixation 16 sont formés par exemple par des vis 161 destinées à passer par des perçages 162 réalisés dans les fonds des parties 1 1 , 12 situées en regard des longerons pour réaliser l'assemblage des traverses 8 avec les longerons. En l'occurrence, les fonds 1 13, 122 présentent trois perçages 162 destinés chacun à venir en face d'un longeron 7 du cadre 5. [060] As shown in Figures 3a and 4c, each floor panel 2 further comprises fastening means 16 of said cross members 8 on the longitudinal members 7 carried by the frame 5 of the panel on the ground. The fastening means 16 are formed for example by screws 161 intended to pass through holes 162 made in the bottoms of the parts 1 1, 12 located opposite the longitudinal members to achieve the assembly of the cross members 8 with the longitudinal members. In this case, the funds 1 13, 122 have three holes 162 each intended to come opposite a spar 7 of the frame 5.

[061] Alternativement, la partie 1 1 comporte uniquement un des cotés 1 1 1 de la cuvette ainsi que le fond 1 13; tandis que l'autre partie 12 comporte le côté 121 ayant une largeur supérieure à une profondeur de la cuvette. Le fond 1 13 de la cuvette contre le bord de laquelle vient en contact le côté 121 permet de garantir également un espacement constant entre deux traverses 8 adjacentes ainsi que l'obturation de l'espace entre les deux traverses 8. [061] Alternatively, the portion 1 1 comprises only one of the sides 1 1 1 of the bowl and the bottom 1 13; while the other portion 12 has the side 121 having a width greater than a depth of the bowl. The bottom 1 13 of the bowl against the edge of which comes into contact with the side 121 also ensures a constant spacing between two adjacent crossbars 8 and the closing of the space between the two crossbars 8.

[062] Dans tous les cas, les moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12 comportent deux parties ayant pour l'une la forme d'une portion de cuvette ou d'une cuvette complète et pour l'autre la forme d'une portion de cuvette de forme complémentaire. On entend par partie ayant une forme de "portion de cuvette", une partie ayant au moins une paroi parmi les trois parois de la cuvette (deux côtés et un fond). [062] In all cases, the complementary connection means January 1, 12 comprise two parts having for one the form of a bowl portion or a full bowl and for the other the shape of a portion bowl of complementary shape. By part in the form of "bowl portion" is meant a portion having at least one of the three walls of the bowl (two sides and one bottom).

[063] Comme montré sur la figure 4a, chaque traverse 8 du panneau de sol 2 comporte un support 81 en forme de profilé portant les moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12 et une latte 82 fixée sur le support 81 par exemple par collage au moyen d'une colle bi-composants. La latte 82 pourra par exemple être réalisée en bois ou dans matériau plastique rigide. Le support 81 pourra être réalisé dans un matériau rigide tel que le métal. [063] As shown in Figure 4a, each crosspiece 8 of the floor panel 2 comprises a support 81 shaped profile carrying the complementary connecting means 1 1, 12 and a batten 82 fixed on the support 81 for example by gluing to medium of a two-component glue. The batten 82 may for example be made of wood or rigid plastic material. The support 81 may be made of a rigid material such as metal.

[064] De préférence, les traverses 23 du panneau de clôture 3 visibles sur les figures 5a et 5b sont constituées de tringles de faible largeur venant s'insérer dans les cavités borgnes 15 délimitées par les cuvettes des moyens de liaison 1 1 , 12 lorsque la barrière 100 est dans la position repliée. Autrement dit, les tringles du panneau de clôture 3 peuvent être totalement noyées dans le panneau de sol 2 sans pour autant porter atteinte à la faculté de celui-ci de répondre isolément à la fonction de plage. De préférence, les tringles 23 ainsi que les longerons 24 constituant le panneau de clôture 3 sont en métal ou en résine armée de fibres de carbone par exemple. [064] Preferably, the crosspieces 23 of the closure panel 3 visible in FIGS. 5a and 5b consist of rods of small width that fit into the blind cavities 15 delimited by the cuvettes of the connecting means 1 1, 12 when the barrier 100 is in the folded position. In other words, the rods of the fence panel 3 can be completely embedded in the floor panel 2 without impairing the faculty of it to respond in isolation to the beach function. Preferably, the rods 23 and the longitudinal members 24 constituting the closure panel 3 are made of metal or resin reinforced with carbon fibers, for example.

[065] Comme montré sur les figures 6a et 6b, la barrière 100 est préférentiellement équipée de moyens de manœuvre 28 du panneau de clôture 3 entre les positions déployée et repliée de la barrière. Ces moyens de manœuvre 28 assurent un déplacement du panneau de clôture 3 articulé sur le panneau de sol 2 autour d'un axe de pivotement X situé de préférence à faible distance du bord du panneau de clôture 3 tourné vers le bassin. [065] As shown in Figures 6a and 6b, the barrier 100 is preferably equipped with operating means 28 of the closure panel 3 between the deployed and folded positions of the barrier. These operating means 28 provide a movement of the closing panel 3 articulated on the floor panel 2 about a pivot axis X preferably located at a short distance from the edge of the closure panel 3 facing the basin.

[066] De préférence, les moyens de manœuvre 28 comportent un rail 30 fixe par rapport au panneau de sol et un étrier 31 solidaire d'au moins un panneau de clôture 3 articulé par rapport au rail 30 autour de l'axe X. L'étrier 31 pourra être équipé de moyens de préhension telle qu'une poignée à son extrémité libre opposée à celle reliée au panneau de sol 2 via l'articulation pour faciliter la manipulation de l'ensemble à l'utilisateur. [066] Preferably, the operating means 28 comprise a rail 30 fixed relative to the floor panel and a bracket 31 secured to at least one fence panel 3 hinged relative to the rail 30 about the axis X. L stirrup 31 may be equipped with gripping means such as a handle at its free end opposite to that connected to the floor panel 2 via the hinge to facilitate the handling of the assembly to the user.

[067] La liaison entre l'étrier 31 et le panneau de clôture 3 pourra être réalisée via un dispositif de fixation 33 formé par exemple par exemple par trois vis 34 visibles sur la figure 5a réparties régulièrement suivant la longueur de l'étrier 31 . Le cas échéant, un même étrier 31 assure la liaison entre deux panneaux de clôture 3 adjacents qui sont alors reliés aux bords longitudinaux opposés dudit étrier 31 . [067] The connection between the stirrup 31 and the closing panel 3 can be achieved via a fixing device 33 formed for example by three screws 34 visible in Figure 5a regularly distributed along the length of the stirrup 31. If necessary, a same stirrup 31 provides the connection between two adjacent fence panels 3 which are then connected to the opposite longitudinal edges of said stirrup 31.

[068] Plus précisément, le rail 30 est positionné de préférence entre deux panneaux de sol 2. Le rail 30 présente par exemple en vue en coupe transversale une forme en U dont les extrémités libres sont repliées vers l'intérieur du rail 30 et sur lesquelles est fixée une latte 82 semblable à celles des panneaux de sol 2, comme montré sur la figure 7. [068] More specifically, the rail 30 is preferably positioned between two floor panels 2. The rail 30 has for example in cross sectional view a U-shaped whose free ends are bent inwardly of the rail 30 and on which is attached a latte 82 similar to those of the floor panels 2, as shown in Figure 7.

[069] Pour faciliter le passage de la position repliée à la position déployée, un élément élastique, tel qu'un ressort 40, a une extrémité 401 fixée à un élément d'ancrage 41 , en l'occurrence une tige transversal, appartenant au rail 30 et une autre extrémité 402 fixée à l'étrier 31 . Ce ressort 40 est tendu lorsque la barrière 100 est dans la position repliée (cf. figure 6a) et détendu lorsque la barrière 100 est dans la position déployée (cf. figure 6b). [069] To facilitate the passage from the folded position to the extended position, an elastic element, such as a spring 40, has an end 401 fixed to an anchoring element 41, in this case a transverse rod, belonging to the rail 30 and another end 402 attached to the stirrup 31. This The spring 40 is stretched when the barrier 100 is in the folded position (see Figure 6a) and relaxed when the barrier 100 is in the deployed position (see Figure 6b).

[070] Selon une réalisation, l'élément d'ancrage 41 est susceptible d'être déplacé en translation le long de la direction longitudinale d'allongement du rail 30 avant verrouillage lors de l'utilisation de la barrière 100. Cela permet d'adapter la tension du ressort 40 en fonction notamment du poids des panneaux de clôture 3. [070] In one embodiment, the anchoring element 41 is capable of being displaced in translation along the longitudinal elongation direction of the rail 30 before locking when the barrier 100 is used. adapting the tension of the spring 40 in particular according to the weight of the fence panels 3.

[071] En l'occurrence, comme cela est bien visible sur les figures 6a, 6b 7 et 8, l'étrier 31 présente une première partie 31 1 longitudinale et une deuxième partie 312 formant un retour sensiblement perpendiculaire à la première partie 31 1 en sorte que l'étrier 31 présente une forme en L. Le ressort 40 est fixé à une extrémité libre 32 du retour 312. L'angle intérieur du L est tourné vers l'élément d'ancrage 41 lorsque la barrière 100 est en position repliée. Selon une réalisation, l'axe X est formé par une tige 500 appartenant à la partie 312 de l'étrier 31 passant par des ouvertures d'axe horizontal ménagées dans des décrochements 501 situés à une extrémité du rail 30, comme cela est visible aux figures 7 et 8. On note également que dans la position déployée de la barrière, l'élément d'ancrage 41 , l'extrémité libre du retour 312, et l'axe X sont alignés les uns par rapport aux autres en vue de côté, comme cela est visible sur la figure 6b. En outre, la première partie 31 1 délimite un espace 503 autorisant le passage de la latte 82 fixée sur le rail 30 lorsque la barrière est dans la position repliée. [071] In the present case, as is clearly visible in FIGS. 6a, 6b, 7 and 8, the stirrup 31 has a first longitudinal portion 31 1 and a second portion 312 forming a return substantially perpendicular to the first portion 31 1 in that the stirrup 31 has an L shape. The spring 40 is fixed to a free end 32 of the return 312. The inside angle of the L is turned towards the anchoring element 41 when the barrier 100 is in position folded. According to one embodiment, the axis X is formed by a rod 500 belonging to the portion 312 of the yoke 31 passing through openings of horizontal axis formed in recesses 501 located at one end of the rail 30, as is visible in FIGS. Figures 7 and 8. Note also that in the deployed position of the barrier, the anchoring element 41, the free end of the return 312, and the X axis are aligned with each other in side view as can be seen in Figure 6b. In addition, the first portion 31 1 defines a space 503 allowing the passage of the lath 82 fixed on the rail 30 when the barrier is in the folded position.

[072] Il ressort de ces dispositions que les moyens de manoeuvre 28 du panneau de clôture 3 ne modifient que très peu l'esthétique de l'ensemble et ne constituent pas une gêne pour la liberté de circulation sur le panneau de sol 2 quelle que soit la position repliée ou déployée de la barrière 100. [072] It follows from these provisions that the maneuvering means 28 of the fence panel 3 modify only very little aesthetics of the assembly and do not constitute a hindrance to the freedom of movement on the floor panel 2 whatever the folded or deployed position of the barrier 100.

[073] La barrière 100 comporte également au moins un dispositif de blocage 44, ou clef d'angle, montré sur les figures 9a et 9b destiné à être positionné sur au moins un coin formé par deux panneaux de clôture 3 lorsque la barrière 100 est dans la position déployée. Le dispositif de blocage 44 présente des parois latérales 441 reliées entre elles par un fond 442 de manière à présenter une forme en U. Le dispositif 44 présente deux parties 443, 444 en forme de U allongé s'étendant perpendiculairement l'une par rapport à l'autre de manière à recouvrir un coin de la barrière. Les parois latérales 441 comportent des billes 46 montées sur des ressorts pour clipsage du dispositif de blocage 44 sur la partie supérieure des panneaux de clôture 3 formant le coin de la barrière 100. [073] The barrier 100 also comprises at least one locking device 44, or angle key, shown in Figures 9a and 9b intended to be positioned on at least one corner formed by two fence panels 3 when the barrier 100 is in the deployed position. The locking device 44 has lateral walls 441 interconnected by a bottom 442 so as to have a U-shape. The device 44 has two parts. 443, 444 extending elongate extending perpendicularly to each other so as to cover a corner of the barrier. The side walls 441 comprise balls 46 mounted on springs for clipping the locking device 44 on the upper part of the closing panels 3 forming the corner of the barrier 100.

[074] On utilise également de préférence une main courante 48 montrée sur les figures 10a et 10b. Cette main courante 48 destinée à être positionnée le long des panneaux de clôture 3 présente des évidements 49. La barrière 100 comporte en outre un panneau de clôture 3 muni d'un portillon escamotable 50 bien visible sur la figure 1 1 . Le portillon 50 est équipé d'un double système de sécurité 53. Ce portillon 50 est associé à un panneau de sol 2 par rapport au bord duquel il est articulé. [074] A handrail 48 shown in FIGS. 10a and 10b is also preferably used. This handrail 48 intended to be positioned along the fence panels 3 has recesses 49. The barrier 100 further comprises a fence panel 3 provided with a retractable door 50 clearly visible in Figure 1 1. The gate 50 is equipped with a double security system 53. This gate 50 is associated with a floor panel 2 relative to the edge of which it is articulated.

[075] Dans l'exemple de réalisation montré sur la figure 12, une barrière 100 d'un piscine est formée par un panneau de sol P1 de petite dimension ayant par exemple une longueur de l'ordre de 1 12cm et une largeur de l'ordre de 1 15cm, un ensemble de panneaux de sol P2 de grandes dimensions ayant par exemple une longueur de l'ordre de 220cm et une largeur de l'ordre de 1 15cm. Pour former les différents éléments de barrière 1 , les panneaux de clôture 3 associés présentent bien entendu des dimensions correspondantes. L'ensemble comporte également un panneau de sol P3 associé au portillon escamotable 50 de la barrière 100, ainsi que des panneaux d'angle PA fixes comportant uniquement des lattes 82 positionnées à proximité les unes des autres sur un cadre 5 et dépourvus de panneaux de clôture associés. Ces panneaux PA présentent par exemple la forme d'un carré de 1 15cm de côté L0. [075] In the embodiment shown in Figure 12, a barrier 100 of a pool is formed by a floor panel P1 of small size having for example a length of the order of 1 12cm and a width of 1 order of 1 15cm, a set of large P2 floor panels having for example a length of about 220cm and a width of about 1 15cm. In order to form the different barrier elements 1, the associated closure panels 3 naturally have corresponding dimensions. The assembly also comprises a floor panel P3 associated with the retractable gate 50 of the barrier 100, as well as fixed PA corner panels comprising only slats 82 positioned close to each other on a frame 5 and devoid of panels. fence associated. These PA panels have for example the shape of a square of 1 15cm side L0.

[076] En l'occurrence, la barrière 100 comporte suivant un côté longitudinal quatre panneaux P2 positionnés côte à côté de manière à présenter une longueur L1 de l'ordre de 880cm. Suivant le côté longitudinal opposé, on fait appel à un ensemble de panneaux formé par deux panneaux P2 et un autre ensemble de panneaux formé par un panneau P1 et un panneau P2, ces deux ensembles de panneaux étant situés de part et d'autre du panneau P3 portant le portillon 50. Par ailleurs, la barrière 100 comporte suivant chacun des côtés transversaux du bassin un ensemble de deux panneaux P1 de petites dimensions. La barrière 100 présente ainsi une largeur L2 de l'ordre de 440cm. [076] In this case, the barrier 100 comprises along a longitudinal side four panels P2 positioned side by side so as to have a length L1 of the order of 880cm. Along the opposite longitudinal side, it uses a set of panels formed by two panels P2 and another set of panels formed by a panel P1 and a panel P2, these two sets of panels being located on either side of the panel P3 carrying the gate 50. In addition, the barrier 100 comprises along each of the transverse sides of the basin a set of two P1 panels of small dimensions. The barrier 100 thus has a width L2 of the order of 440 cm.

[077] Les moyens de manœuvre 28 sont positionnés de préférence de part et d'autre des ensembles de deux panneaux de clôture 3 aboutés l'un à l'autre. Du côté longitudinal situé au bas de la figure 12, des moyens de manœuvre 28 sont positionnés au niveau de la jonction entre les deux ensembles de deux panneaux P2. Du côté longitudinal opposé, des moyens de manœuvre 28 sont situés de part et d'autre du portillon, les étriers 31 correspondants assurant la liaison entre des parties latérales du panneau 3 intégrant ledit portillon 50 et le panneau de clôture 3 qui lui est adjacent. [077] The operating means 28 are preferably positioned on either side of the sets of two fence panels 3 abutted one to the other. On the longitudinal side at the bottom of FIG. 12, operating means 28 are positioned at the junction between the two sets of two panels P2. On the opposite longitudinal side, operating means 28 are located on either side of the door, the stirrups 31 corresponding connecting the side portions of the panel 3 incorporating said gate 50 and the closing panel 3 adjacent thereto.

[078] Alternativement, on positionne des moyens de manœuvres 28 au niveau de chaque jonction entre deux panneaux de sol 2 adjacents, les étriers 31 assurant alors l'aboutement entre deux panneaux de clôture 3 consécutifs. [079] Dans la variante de réalisation de la figure 13, on positionne des moyens de manœuvre 28a munis d'électroaimants au niveau des angles de la piscine, sauf pour le côté sur lequel est installé le portillon escamotable 50. Les moyens de manœuvres 28 intermédiaires sont les moyens de manœuvre à ressort précédemment décrit. Sur le côté portant le portillon 50, les moyens de manœuvre 28 sont positionnés entre les extrémités de part et d'autre du portillon 50. [078] Alternatively, maneuvering means 28 are positioned at each junction between two adjacent floor panels 2, the stirrups 31 then ensuring the abutment between two consecutive closing panels 3. [079] In the embodiment of Figure 13, is positioned maneuvering means 28a provided with electromagnets at the corners of the pool, except for the side on which is installed the retractable door 50. The means of maneuvering 28 intermediaries are the spring-biasing means previously described. On the side carrying the gate 50, the operating means 28 are positioned between the ends on either side of the gate 50.

[080] Comme cela est visible sur les figures 14 et 15, chaque moyen de manœuvre 28a comporte un rail 30 muni d'un premier électroaimant 301 situé à une extrémité opposée à l'articulation avec l'étrier 31 d'axe X. L'étrier 31 comporte un aimant 601 correspondant situé en position extrême opposée à l'articulation. A l'état replié, l'électroaimant 301 attire l'étrier 31 de manière à maintenir la barrière 100 en position repliée. La face de contact de l'électroaimant 301 avec l'aimant 601 porté par étrier 31 est sensiblement horizontale. [081] Pour réaliser l'ouverture de la barrière 100, on désactive l'électroaimant 301 , en sorte que l'aimant 601 de l'étrier 31 se décolle de l'électroaimant 301 . Cela a pour effet de libérer la barrière 100 qui s'entrouvre à environ 45 degrés grâce à l'action du ressort 40 monté entre le rail 30 et l'étrier 31 . L'opérateur peut ensuite pousser la barrière 100 pour la mettre en position verticale. En variante, les moyens de manœuvre 28a sont dépourvus de ressort 40, les ressorts des autres moyens de manœuvre 28 assurant alors l'ouverture partielle de la barrière 100. [080] As can be seen in FIGS. 14 and 15, each operating means 28a comprises a rail 30 provided with a first electromagnet 301 situated at an end opposite the articulation with the stirrup 31 of axis X. yoke 31 comprises a corresponding magnet 601 located in extreme position opposite to the hinge. In the folded state, the electromagnet 301 attracts the stirrup 31 so as to maintain the barrier 100 in the folded position. The contact face of the electromagnet 301 with the magnet 601 carried by bracket 31 is substantially horizontal. [081] To achieve the opening of the barrier 100, the electromagnet 301 is deactivated, so that the magnet 601 of the stirrup 31 is detached from the electromagnet 301. This has the effect of releasing the barrier 100 which opens at about 45 degrees thanks to the action of the spring 40 mounted between the rail 30 and the stirrup 31. The operator can then push the barrier 100 to put it in a vertical position. In a variant, the operating means 28a do not have a spring 40, the springs of the other operating means 28 thus ensuring the partial opening of the barrier 100.

[082] Par ailleurs, on pourra utiliser un deuxième électroaimant 302 situé sur le rail 30 à proximité de l'extrémité portant l'articulation d'axe X ainsi qu'un aimant 602 positionné du côté de l'extrémité correspondante de l'étrier 31 . Au moment où le premier électroaimant 301 est désactivé, le deuxième électroaimant 302 est alimenté, en sorte que l'aimant 602 de l'étrier 31 vient se plaquer contre l'électroaimant 302 du rail 30 pour bloquer la barrière en position verticale. La face de contact de l'électroaimant 302 avec l'aimant 602 porté par l'étrier 31 est sensiblement verticale. La face de contact de l'électroaimant 302 coopère avec une portion de l'étrier 31 portant l'aimant 602 s'étendant en saillie par rapport à un bord longitudinal de l'étrier 31 . [082] Furthermore, it will be possible to use a second electromagnet 302 located on the rail 30 near the end bearing the X axis joint and a magnet 602 positioned on the side of the corresponding end of the stirrup 31. At the moment when the first electromagnet 301 is deactivated, the second electromagnet 302 is energized, so that the magnet 602 of the stirrup 31 is pressed against the electromagnet 302 of the rail 30 to block the barrier in the vertical position. The contact face of the electromagnet 302 with the magnet 602 carried by the stirrup 31 is substantially vertical. The contact face of the electromagnet 302 cooperates with a portion of the stirrup 31 carrying the magnet 602 projecting with respect to a longitudinal edge of the stirrup 31.

[083] Suite à la mise en place des clefs d'angle 44, la barrière 100 est complètement bloquée et le courant dans le deuxième électroaimant 302 peut alors être coupé. [083] Following the introduction of the corner keys 44, the barrier 100 is completely blocked and the current in the second electromagnet 302 can then be cut.

[084] En variante, l'étrier 31 est réalisé en métal et est dépourvu d'aimant 601 , 602. Les moyens de manœuvres comportent alors uniquement les électroaimants 301 , 302. Ces derniers pourront en variante être fixés sur l'étrier 31 au lieu d'être fixé sur le rail 30. [084] Alternatively, the stirrup 31 is made of metal and is devoid of magnet 601, 602. The operating means then comprise only the electromagnets 301, 302. These may alternatively be fixed on the stirrup 31 to instead of being fixed on the rail 30.

[085] Pour effectuer le repliage, on retire les clefs d'angle 44, le premier électroaimant 301 étant sous tension, on baisse la barrière qui est attiré dans un premier temps par les ressorts jusqu'à la position de 45 degrés environ par l'effet de la charge menante de la barrière. Il suffit ensuite d'appuyer sur la barrière pour la bloquer sur l'électroaimant 301 en position repliée. [085] To perform the folding, the corner keys 44 are removed, the first electromagnet 301 being energized, the barrier is lowered which is initially attracted by the springs to the position of approximately 45 degrees by 1 effect of the driving load of the barrier. Then simply press the barrier to lock it on the electromagnet 301 in the folded position.

[086] Bien entendu, l'homme du métier pourra apporter des modifications aux éléments de barrière 1 précédemment décrit sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. En particulier, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée, les moyens de manœuvre 28 sont en relation avec un organe moteur pouvant être un vérin hydraulique ou un moteur électrique. L'organe moteur est alimenté à partir d'une puissance basse tension et est logé à l'intérieur d'un caisson étanche prévu pour être situé à l'intérieur d'un dégagement d'un panneau au sol 2. [086] Of course, the skilled person can make modifications to the barrier elements 1 described above without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, in an alternative embodiment not shown, the operating means 28 are in connection with a motor member may be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric motor. The organ motor is powered from a low voltage power and is housed inside a watertight housing intended to be located inside a clearance of a panel on the ground 2.

[087] Les moyens de liaison complémentaires 1 1 , 12 pourraient également être modifiés et présenter de manière équivalente en vue en coupe sensiblement la forme d'un arc de cercle ouvert du côté supérieur pour recevoir les traverses du panneau de clôture ou la forme d'un triangle ouvert du côté supérieur, ou toute autre forme adaptée à l'application. [087] The complementary connecting means January 1, 12 could also be modified and present in an equivalent manner in sectional view substantially in the form of an open arc of the upper side to receive the rails of the fence panel or the form of an open triangle on the upper side, or any other form suitable for the application.
