Abstract

Mobile wall traction system ( 1 ) for swimming pools ( 4 ) equipped with at least one mobile wall ( 2 ) and two parallel rail elements ( 3 ), located on at least two opposite sides of the swimming pool ( 4 ), the wall ( 2 ) being able to travel along said rail elements ( 3 ), characterised in that it comprises magnetic coupling travel means ( 5 ) of said wall

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Mobile wall traction system ( 1 ) for swimming pools ( 4 ) equipped with at least one mobile wall ( 2 ) and at least two parallel rail elements ( 3 ), located on at least two opposite sides of the swimming pool ( 4 ), the wall ( 2 ) being able to travel along said rail elements ( 3 ), characterised in that it comprises magnetic coupling travel means ( 5 ) of said mobile wall ( 2 ). 
   
   
       2 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 1  characterised in that the magnetic coupling travel means ( 5 ) comprise at least one transmission element ( 8 ) for each rail element ( 3 ), that travels thanks to driving means ( 10 ), and at least one drawn element ( 9 ), fixed to said mobile wall ( 2 ), and coupled functionally and magnetically to said transmission element ( 8 ) in order to travel in unison with said transmission element ( 8 ). 
   
   
       3 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 2  characterised in that said at least one transmission element ( 8 ), moved by said driving means ( 10 ) and said at least one drawn element ( 9 ) are coupled magnetically in a manner for release. 
   
   
       4 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 2  characterised in that said at least one transmission element ( 8 ), and said at least one drawn element ( 9 ) comprise at least one magnet ( 21 ). 
   
   
       5 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 4  characterised in that said magnet ( 21 ) is a permanent magnet and/or an electromagnet. 
   
   
       6 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 5  characterised in that each of said rail elements ( 3 ) comprises at least one amagnetic tube ( 13 ) comprising an upper flat face ( 14 ), said amagnetic tube ( 13 ) being installed with said upper face ( 14 ) substantially flush with the floor paving around the perimeter of said pool ( 4 ). 
   
   
       7 . System ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , characterised in that said transmission element ( 8 ) also comprises at least one support frame ( 17 ) for said magnet ( 21 ) and at least two wheels ( 23 ) to permit the sliding action of said transmission element ( 8 ) inside said amagnetic tube ( 13 ). 
   
   
       8 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 3 , characterised in that said drawn element ( 9 ) also comprises at least one support frame for said magnet ( 21 ) and at least two wheels ( 22 ) in order to slide along the external paving ( 33 ) of said pool ( 4 ) in unison with said transmission element ( 8 ). 
   
   
       9 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , characterised in that said drawn element ( 9 ) is installed inside the structure of said mobile wall ( 2 ) in order to be fixed to said wall ( 2 ). 
   
   
       10 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , characterised in that said driving means ( 10 ) comprise a belt and pulley system, or cable and winch system positioned inside said tube ( 13 ) and/or in at least one compartment located under the floor paving of said pool ( 4 ) perimeter. 
   
   
       11 . Traction system ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , characterised in that said driving means comprise a rack positioned inside said tube and/or in at least one compartment located under the floor paving of said pool perimeter. 
   
   
       12 . System ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , characterised in that said driving means ( 10 ) comprise an oleodynamic cylinder positioned inside said tube ( 13 ) and/or in at least one compartment located under the floor paving of said pool ( 4 ) perimeter.
