Abstract: The invention pertains to a covering structure for covering swimming pools, including several pairs of parallel arches that serve to support flexible panels, the arches being made from a curved profile having lateral walls delimiting a series of parallel guide grooves arranged one above another and perpendicularly to a plane of the arch and receiving the panels, and a protective and elevating border disposed on a lateral edge of at least one of the panels contacting at least one of the internal faces of the guide groove, the height of said border being sufficient to prevent the latter from contacting the profile.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a covering structure, particularly intended for covering swimming pools, that may be at least partially uncovered and which comprises several pairs of parallel arches (5) that serve to support flexible panels (16, 18), especially those made from a transparent or translucent material, said arches (5) being made from a curved profile (7), the lateral walls of which bear a series of parallel guide grooves (15, 15′) arranged one above the other and perpendicularly to the plane of the arch (5) and serving to receive the aforementioned flexible panels (16, 18).
