Enclosure for a pleasure pool, which completely or partially adopts the shape of a rotunda

Abstract

The invention relates to an enclosure for a pleasure pool, which is completely or partially in the form of a rotunda and which comprises a plurality of rotary angular roof elements. The aforementioned rotary angular roof elements form an angular portion of the rotunda and rotate about the same vertical axis, each element comprising a frame framing at least one cylindrical filler panel. The frame includes a lower circular edge that rests on the ground and an upper edge from which at least two sections extend towards the rotation shaft, which sections join so as, together with the upper edge, to form a frame for an angular portion of the roof-forming filler panel. The roof elements are mounted to rotate about the same vertical axis in order to move between an open position and a closed position. The enclosure is characterised in that each frame framing a cylindrical filler panel is provided with a section (C, C) that is curved in relation to the axis of rotation of the element and which is disposed in the internal portion between the lower edge and the upper edge, forming a handrail. The invention is suitable for pleasure pool covers.

         5 . Shelter according to  claim 3 , characterised by the fact that the top part of the rotating roof elements reproduces the slope or curve of said portico. 
     
     
         6 . Shelter according to  claim 3 , characterised by the fact that said portico has an assembly of three uprights and three half-beams arranged at 120 degrees. 
     
     
         7 . Shelter according to  claim 6 , characterised by the fact that said rotating elements are sized so that, in the deployed position, one rim out of two coincides with the plane in which the upright and the half-beam are situated. 
     
     
         8 . Shelter according to  claim 2 , characterised by the fact that it adopts an extendable configuration in which the roof elements adopt a decreasing size to enable them to be retracted inside a single one. 
     
     
         9 . Shelter according to  claim 6 , characterised by the fact that the angular roof elements are six in number and are sized so as to correspond to substantially 60 degrees of angular portion of the 360 degrees of the total shelter. 
     
     
         10 . Shelter according to  claim 3 , characterised by the fact that said angular roof elements are composed of:
 a first vertical part consisting of a cylindrical portion with a vertical axis represented by the shaft,   a second substantially flat part with a triangular shape reproducing any slope on the portico and providing the connection between the top part of the cylindrical portion and the shaft.   
     
     
         11 . Shelter according to  claim 8 , characterised by the fact characterised by the fact that the largest roof element comprises a third part forming a façade consisting of transverse panels sized so as to provide the closure of the volume of the shelter despite the reduced size of the smallest roof element joining said façade in the closed position. 
     
     
         12 . Shelter according to  claim 2 , characterised by the fact that the top end of said vertical shaft is fixed to an arch belonging to the frame of a non-rotating roof element with a size greater than the largest of the rotating roof elements. 
     
     
         13 . Shelter according to  claim 12 , characterised by the fact that the top ends of said angular roof elements are equipped with a connecting part equipped with a collar preformed vertically with an orifice in order to form a guide sleeve fitting on the shaft, said sleeve having a thickness less than or equal to one half of a connecting part so that the turning over of the connecting part allows by symmetry the pivot connection on the same shaft of an angular roof element of identical dimensions. 
     
     
         14 . Shelter according to  claim 12 , characterised by the fact that it comprises two types of connecting part each having a sleeve arranged, according to the connecting part, symmetrically on either side of the symmetry plane of the top part of the roof elements and used according to the side towards which said element retracts. 
     
     
         15 . according to  claim 13 , characterised by the fact that said connecting part is equipped with two sleeves angularly offset on the same radius and offset in height so that, according to the sleeve chosen, the height with which the roof element is associated with said shaft differs, thus allowing the pivoting of roof elements of identical dimensions. 
     
     
         16 . Shelter according to  claim 13 , characterised by the fact that the top part of the roof elements consists of two ends of two profiles the connection of which is provided by said connecting part. 
     
     
         17 . Shelter according to  claim 13 , characterised by the fact that said shaft comprises, on the bottom end thereof, a removable axial stop. 
     
     
         18 . Shelter according to  claim 13 , characterised by the fact that the shaft is associated with rings forming an axial stop for the top ends of the roof elements and interposed between the stacked collars. 
     
     
         19 . Shelter according to  claim 13 , characterised by the fact that the rotating angular elements are composed of:
 a first vertical part consisting of a cylindrical portion with a vertical axis represented by the shaft,   a second substantially flat part with a triangular shape reproducing the slope of the roof formed by the shelter and providing the connection between the top edge of the cylindrical portion and the shaft.   
     
     
         20 . Shelter according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that each frame of rotating angular roof elements comprises two uprights to which the ends of said curved profile are fixed, the latter being fixed in the thickness of said uprights so that it does not form, with respect to the latter, an inward projection opposite said uprights. 
     
     
         21 . Shelter according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that said curved profile is equipped, on the external periphery thereof, with fixing blocks fulfilling the function of points for supporting and fixing the fill-in panels. 
     
     
         22 . Shelter according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that the top joining the profiles framing the triangular roof panel is offset with respect to the rotation axis of said rotating roof element.
