  • Collapsible barrier for swimming pool, providing a safe walking path
    Patent number: 7744064
    Abstract: A collapsible barrier to enclose a body of water, maneuverable between a deployed enclosure position and a collapsed position which barrier is comprised of panels articulated to each other, a ground panel (1) and an enclosure panel (2) which panels are formed from struts (4,7) supported by side rails (5,6), the struts (7) of the ground panel (1) together comprise a plate in which slits (3) are made through which the enclosure panel (2) struts, consisting of rods (4), can pass, so that in the deployed position of the barrier, the walkway surface provided by the ground panel (1) is nearly continuous.

  • Folding slatted barrier for a swimming pool
    Publication number: 20070067898
    Abstract: The invention relates to a folding barrier which can be used as a fence around a body of water, such as a swimming pool (1). The inventive barrier essentially consists of at least one pair of articulated panels (2, 3) comprising a fencing panel (3) which is pivot fixed to a ground panel (2) which forms a walkway around the pool (1) when the barrier is deployed. Both of the aforementioned panels (2, 3) are slatted and comprise slats (5, 6) which are separated by means of open-work (7, 8). According to the invention, the slats (5, 6) of one panel (2, 3) are disposed opposite the open-work (7, 8) of the other panel (2, 3), such that, in the folded position, the slats (5, 6) of one panel (2, 3) are housed inside the open-work (7, 8) of the other panel (2, 3), thereby forming a deck around the pool (1).
