Water overflow edge fittings and related improved structural elements for swimming pools

Abstract

A water overflow edge device (10) for a swimming pool, the water overflow edge device includes a channel (12) consisting of a bottom wall (14), a rear wall (16) and a front wall (18) . The front wall (18) is made of a plurality of modular structural elements (20) arranged sequentially and coupled together in an "end-to-end" manner. The channel (12) is covered on top by a walking grate (50) that allows water from the swimming pool to enter the channel (12). Each of said modular structural elements (20) includes a first part (22) having a structural function, said first part being provided at the bottom with a bottom wall (14) of said channel (12) and / or with A coupling device (24) connected to the top of the vertical inner wall of the swimming pool. The structural component (22) is also provided on one side with a first surface (26) and a substantially vertical second surface (28), the first surface forming the front wall (18) of the channel (12), The second surface is opposite the first surface (26) and is configured to support a second cladding member (30) forming the entirety of the water overflow edge device (10). Exposed surface and decorative function. Preferably, said first part (22) with structural function is made of plastic material and said second cladding part (30) is made of ceramic material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to water overflow edge devices for swimming pools, and more particularly to an improved structural element for such water overflow edge which may preferably, but not exclusively, be used for prefabricated swimming pool. Background technique [0002] Most in-ground and above-ground swimming pools have a system for recirculating water. The function of this system is to recover the water in the swimming pool, send it to the filtration system, sanitize and then reintroduce the water into the swimming pool. One such system (the so-called water overflow edge system) has a pump system that draws water from the compensation tank and reintroduces the water into the swimming pool through an inlet fitting arranged in the vertical section of the swimming pool itself. wall or bottom. [0003] The swimming pool is provided with a total peripheral channel or a partial peripheral channel in which the water overflows or in othe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] - the peripheral channels may be highly hygroscopic and thus have reduced antifreeze properties or in other words resistance to frost decomposition;

[0014] - High percentage of scrap and high cost
