Benefits of technology

[0027] The largest width of this profile allows the floating floor to be fitted more rapidly.
[0028] According to a an additional characteristic of the invention, the profile is provided, in a third embodiment variant, with a third conduit arranged between the upper con

Problems solved by technology

It may happen that during this operation, the water introduced into the profiles, seeking to occupy a volume located at the lowest point, moves to the same side of the profiles, with the result that one end of the profiles sinks first whereas the o

Example

[0087] In FIG. 4c, the profile 200′ shown is a first embodiment variant of the profile 200 described above. The profile 200′ is designed to be used in the structure of the floating floor by being positioned in this floor to rest on a sloping floor of a swimming pool. Indeed, such profiles thus positioned are more complicated to empty, to the extent that when they tilt on contact with the sloping floor during their immersion, they can no longer be emptied completely owing to the fact that the outlet of the channels in the profile is located below the culminating point of the inside volume of the profiles, which has the consequence of imprisoning a volume of air in the upper section of the interior volume of each of these profiles which remain floating or lilt the floating floor.

[0088] This remark is also valid for the profiles that are among the last to be filled that still remain floating whilst the floating floor is resting at the bottom. [0089] On filling, the expulsion point in ...

Example

[0138] In a second embodiment variant of the profile that is shown in FIG. 13, this profile 200″ comprises a plurality of internal cavities 202 arranged side by side.

[0139] A specific multiple type end piece 250′is shown in line with the profile 200″. It is designed to close off each of the extremities of the profile 200″. The end piece 250′is, for this purpose, provided with a plurality of connection means 270 that open out respectively into the internal cavities 202 of the multiple profile 200″.

[0140] The floating floor can be raised more rapidly owing to this construction in which the multiple cavity profile 200″ has a width greater than that of the profiles described above.

[0141] A protective casing realized with a sleeve 310 or a sleeve 320, whose lateral wall is pierced, is mounted on the end piece 250′ closing off the connection end of the profile 200″ to protect it.

Example

[0142] In a third embodiment variant represented in FIG. 14, each profile 200″ is provided with a third conduit 240 arranged between the upper conduit 220 and the upper wall 204. A separating wall 242 separates the upper conduit 220 and the third conduit 240. This conduit is designed to enable the circulation of water under the effect of solar radiation. The profile 200″ must be positioned with its third conduit 240 turned upwards so that the latter can be exposed to the solar radiation. The material constituting the profile 200″′ will be of a dark color and preferably black or dark blue.

[0143] In FIG. 17a, it will be noted that each edge of the separating wall 242 is arranges offset with respect to the end of the profile 200″ according to a distance L3.

[0144] Specific end pieces 250a, 25 Gb shown respectively in FIGS. 15 and 16 are designed to seal one or other of the ends of this profile. Each end piece 250a or 25Gb is provided with a connection means 270 adapted to be connected...

Abstract

A profile for assisting in the construction of a pool floor is capable of floating or being immersed. At least one internal ballast cavity crosses the profile longitudinally. The profile has first and second ends sealed respectively by first and second end pieces having a connection arrangement through which the profile can be filled or emptied. The connection arrangement is connected respectively to first and second channels respectively opening out into upper and lower sections of the cavity. A floor constructed with such profiles moves while remaining horizontal during its immersion or emersion into and from the pool.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application is based on, and claims priority from, France Application Number 04 01634 filed Feb. 18, 2004, France Application Number 04 03622 filed Apr. 6, 2004 and PCT / FR2005 / 000351 filed Feb. 16, 2005, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a profile for assisting in the construction of a floor for a pool, the profile including at least one internal cavity crossing it longitudinally and which is intended to be used as ballast, the profile presenting a first end and a second end sealed respectively by a first end piece and a second end piece provided with connection means through which the profile can be filled or emptied. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Such a floor, commonly known as a floating floor, is intended to cover the surface of the water contained in a swimming pool, in periods of non-use, chiefly in order to prevent r...
