  • Patent number: 11767678
    Abstract: A system for the removal of volatile products resulting from the disinfection of water in a swimming pool, including a main channel arranged at an edge of a swimming pool and to collect overflowing water from the pool, air suction holes distributed along the main channel, the suction holes facing the internal volume of the main channel and being arranged at a height above the free water surface in the main channel, ventilation device configured to generate a suction flow of air from the suction holes. The system includes an air insufflation device arranged in the main channel at a height below the free surface of the water in the main channel, the air insufflation device generating a flow of air to strip the gases dissolved in the water in the main channel, from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase.

  • Patent number: 9657487
    Abstract: A water overflow edge device for a swimming pool is having a channel consisting of bottom, rear and front walls is disclosed. The front wall is made of a plurality of modular structural elements arranged in sequence and coupled together “end-to-end”. The channel is also covered on top by a walking grid that allows swimming pool water to enter. Each modular structural element has a first component with structural function, provided at the bottom with coupling means with the bottom wall of the channel and with the top of the vertical inner wall of the swimming pool. The structural component includes at one side with a first surface, which forms the front wall of the channel, and with a second substantially vertical surface, opposite the first surface and configured to support a second coating component which forms the entire exposed surface of the water overflow edge device and which has a finishing function. Preferably, the first component is plastic and the second coating component is ceramic.

  • Patent number: 9421407
    Abstract: Herein described is a starting block (10) for swimming pools comprising a base portion (12), constrainable to the perimetrical structure of the swimming pool at one of its head vertical walls, an upper walkable portion (14), supported by the base portion (12) and aligned with the head vertical wall of the swimming pool so as to be used as a platform by a swimmer, and one or more handgrips (16), protruding from the base portion (12) towards the internal part of the swimming pool and useable by the swimmer during the starting stages of a swimming competition. To the starting block (10) there is operatively connected a means (18) for supporting the feet of the swimmer, provided with a moving system which allows such support means (18) to move between a first operating position and a second rest position, wherein such support means (18) is outside the swimming pool.

  • Publication number: 20120317711
    Abstract: A light demarcation system applicable to a predefined area of any water surface, such are being delimited by a bottom portion and by a pair of longitudinal walls and a pair of transverse walls of a length suitable for defining a water polo field, wherein the pair of transverse walls have a length smaller than the pair of longitudinal walls. The light demarcation system comprises one or more light profiles, each made up of a plurality of sequentially arranged light elements, in predefined positions inside and/or outside of the water polo field, and an electronic control system operatively connected by wireless or wired connectors to the light profiles for management of the operation of the light profiles.

  • Patent number: 5953867
    Abstract: A seal arrangement for a swimming-pool lining structure which is intended to be placed against the walls and bottom of a swimming-pool. The lining structure has metal wall panels and base sheets coated with plastic material on the surface facing the interior of the swimming-pool. The metal wall panels and the base sheets are jointed together with a profiled connection element at the vertical edge of each of the wall panels to form a junction region. The junction regions between said profiled connection elements and the ends of said wall panels and of said base sheets have an associated fluid plastic paste compatible with the wall panels.
