System for creating a sealable tank partition

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for creating a sealable tank partition from wooden panels ( 1 ). Said system includes a rigid structure that consists of: a lower girdle ( 2 ) and an upper girdle ( 3 ) which are formed by profile elements ( 21 ) assembled with each other. Posts ( 4 a, 4 b ) are placed between said upper and lower girdles ( 2, 3 ). This rigid connection is provided by a device consisting of: a post ( 4 a, 4 b ), having two ends, at least one tenon ( 62 a, 62 b ) being located at each of the ends; at least one profile ( 21 ), having two ends ( 23 ), at least one mortise ( 61 a, 61 b ) being located at each of said ends ( 23 ), the mortises ( 61 a, 61 b ) of two adjacent profiles ( 21 ) being stacked on top of one another, and the tenons ( 62 a, 62 b ) being inserted into the stacked mortises ( 61 a, 61 b ).

1 . A system adapted to realize a watertight partition wall of a pool, from wood-made panels, this system comprising a rigid structure resting on a support and composed of a bottom belt which supports the wood-made panels, which bottom belt is composed of profiles assembled together, and a top belt fastened on an upper portion of said wood-made panels, which top belt is composed of profiles assembled together, posts being disposed between said bottom belt and said top belt, said rigid structure being completed by sealing layers for the sealing of said partition wall, wherein said posts are arranged between the bottom belt and the top belt so as to ensure a rigid linkage between the bottom belt and the top belt, each of said posts securing two juxtaposed profiles of the bottom belt to each other and two juxtaposed profiles of the top belt to each other, said rigid linkage being ensured by a device composed of:
 a post, which comprises two ends, at least one tenon being located at each of said ends,   at least one profile, which comprises two ends, at least one mortise being located at each of these ends, said mortises of two adjacent profiles overlapping, said tenons being inserted in said overlapping mortises.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing layers comprise at least one geotextile fabric associated to at least one watertight fabric. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the profiles have interlocking elements at each of their ends, which interlocking elements of two adjacent profiles cooperate so as to ensure an interlocking linkage of said profiles. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the profiles and the posts are wood-made. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the support is constituted by joists placed parallel to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenons have bores allowing introducing dowels so as to rigidify the structure. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein each profile of the bottom belt is rectilinear and has at least one U-shaped cross-sectional groove inside which a lower edge of the panels is engaged, which groove is located on a front face and/or on a rear face of said profile. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein each profile of the top belt is rectilinear and has at least one U-shaped cross-sectional groove inside which an upper edge of the panels is engaged, which groove is located on a front face and/or on a rear face of said profile. 
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the ends of each profile have bores allowing inserting dowels which pass through the mortises and the tenons so as to rigidify the structure. 
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein each post has notches located on their ends, which notches are rectilinear and parallel to the longitudinal axis of said post so as to guide the insertion of the panels. 
     
     
         11 . A method for installing a liquid retaining pool using the system according to  claim 1  and comprising:
 spreading at least one geotextile fabric in a hole dug in the ground beforehand, 
 laying at least one watertight fabric over the geotextile fabric, 
 installing the support, 
 installing the bottom belt on the support, 
 installing the posts on the bottom belt, 
 sliding the panels in grooves located on the bottom belt, 
 installing the top belt on an upper portion of the posts, 
 locking the system by inserting dowels in bores located on the ends of the posts and on the ends of the profiles, which dowels secure the two adjacent profiles and the post, 
 hooking the different fabrics at the top belt.
