  • Patent number: 9546492
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for covering a surface (3) of which the contour defines a surface plane, said device comprising: (a) a substantially rectangular cover (10) wound onto (b) a drum (2) which is rotatably mounted on a carriage that can wind up or unwind the cover (10) by movement of the carriage in a longitudinal direction of the surface and thus allows the deployment of the cover or the removal thereof from the surface (3); and (c) a protective casing (20) mounted on said carriage, characterized in that the distance between the edge of the casing and the edge of the surface varies between a first stopping position dp, and a second movement position dm when the carriage moves the drum over the surface (3), and in that dm>dp.

  • Patent number: 9366045
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for covering a surface (3), comprising: (a) a cover (10), each longitudinal edge of which is provided with a roll (12) formed by a core (12c) contained in a tubular sheath (12t) provided with a strip (12b) along the length thereof, said strip being attached to at least one surface of the cover; (b) a rotatably mounted drum (2) that can wind or unwind the cover (10), said drum (2) being mounted on a longitudinal translation mechanism comprising rails (6) arranged either side of said surface (3); and (c) a system for continuously locking the roll (12) of the longitudinal edges of the cover (10) in the rails (5), and unlocking said roll from same, during the translation of the drum, characterized in that the core (12c) of the roll is attached to the tubular sheath (12t) in such a way as to prevent it from sliding along the sheath.

  • Patent number: 8418279
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for covering a surface such as a swimming pool, a sports field, a glazed surface, a vehicle body, including: (a) a drum rotatingly mounted and capable of winding or unwinding a cover, said drum being mounted on longitudinal translation mechanisms including rails provided on either side of said surface; (b) an attachment system for said cover at one transverse end of the surface to be covered so that the translation and the rotation of the drum results in the winding/unwinding of the cover above the surface to be covered; (c) a system for continuously locking the longitudinal edges of the cover onto said rails that is progressively fitted during the unwinding operation.
