  • Patent number: 8661575
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pool opening to be exposed and/or concealed based on low profile covers constituted by roof components juxtaposed in the direction of the length of the swimming pool and each comprising a cover in a translucent material and a rigid frame formed of two arches placed in transverse planes and braced by longitudinal crosspieces with two end crosspieces delimiting two longitudinal parallel edges to the roof component and which rest on the longitudinal edges of the pool of said swimming pool defining a support surface, the system comprising a storage area located at an end of said pool said storage area being sufficient to accommodate the ground surface of a roof component allowing said roof components to be stored in a stacked way, all of said storage area being horizontally displaced from said pool opening, a wheel configured to mobilize said roof components allowing said roof components to be displaced horizontally along the pool towards and/or away from said storage area, a lifter in the storage

  • Patent number: 8443555
    Abstract: A roofing assembly includes a panel configured to define a major surface, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end; and a frame including a first transverse profile attached to the first end of the panel, and a second transverse profile attached to the second end of the panel. A force-applicator is located between the first transverse profile and the second transverse profile. The force-applicator is configured to apply a force between the first transverse profile and the second transverse profile, thereby applying a tension force to the panel. The force-applicator defines a longitudinal axis displaced from the major surface of the panel, the force-applicator including two parts capable of being moved, one with respect to the other, connected to one another by a sliding connection controlled by a spring.

  • Patent number: 8171675
    Abstract: The invention concerns a roofing element (E) of the type of the one consisting of a material board (100) maintained inside a frame (200), characterized in that it consists of a single-walled solid material board and of at least one tensioning means (300) linked to the frame (200) tending to space apart certain parts constituting the frame (200) so as to stress said board (100), the frame consisting of two transverse profiled sections (210 and 220) fixed to two opposite sides of the board (100), the tensioning means (300) tending to space apart said profiled sections (210 and 220), the edges of the board (100) subjected to a tensile stress and slid into the profiled sections being provided with at least one projection (110) facilitating the transmission of said stress, the profiled section being itself preformed to retain said projection in the direction of the tensile stress. The invention is applicable to swimming pool low shelter, veranda and the like.

  • Publication number: 20100115857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a strut (300a, 300b, 300c) for lifting a roof element (I) and/or maintaining same in the open position, said roof element forming a swimming pool enclosure (A) that rests on the edge of the pool. The invention is characterised in that it includes a high end (310a and 310b) hinged to the edge of a roof element (I) and a low end (320a and 320b) joined to the ground by a securing means (400), so that it is possible to vary the position of the point at which the low end (320a and 320b) of the strut (300a and 300b) is joined to the ground. The invention also relates to the method for installing one such strut. The invention is suitable for swimming pool enclosures.

  • Publication number: 20080263759
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for uncovering and/or covering the opening to a swimming pool covered by a roof, for low shelters consisting of adjacent roof elements oriented along the length of the swimming pool. The inventive device is characterised in that it comprises: storage means (600) that are located at an end of the pool and are used to store the roof elements (I) in a stacked manner; means for displacing said roof elements (I) horizontally (arrow H) over the length of the pool; stacking means (800) for stacking the roof elements (I) in the storage means (600); and means for interconnecting (900) the roof elements (I), said connecting means being both inseparable in order to secure the roof elements to each other, and separable in order to enable the vertical displacement (arrow V) of said roof elements (I) for stacking purposes.
