  • Patent number: 9140014
    Abstract: A covering device (10) forming a protective surface (12) of variable length (L12) and/or width (W12), includes: a support frame (14) of predefined length (L14) and width (W14), at least two intermediate frames (I1, I2 etc.) supported by the support frame (14), each intermediate frame (I1, I2 etc.) supporting at least two cover elements (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6 etc.) mounted so as to be able to slide one under the other, the covering device (10) being characterized in that the intermediate frames (I1, I2 etc.) are mounted on the support frame (14) so as to be able to slide one under the other equally in one or the other of two opposing sliding directions ((C1, C2)(C3, C4)) taken in the length (L14) or width (W14) of the support frame.
