Problems solved by technology

However, the dimensional tolerances of the roof elements, the expansion and the contraction of the latter as well as the positioning tolerances of the fastening holes of the fastening lugs, make for possible difficulty in implementing this maintaining in position by fastening lug.
These disadvantages are even more substantial when the fastening lug is used as a plate linked in articulation to a lifting strut and in particular to a foldable lifting strut associated with a jack accompanying the openin

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Using this established fact as a starting point, the applicant has carried out research aiming to solve the problem of positioning inaccuracy of the fastening points and articulation of the roof elements of a swimming pool shelter. Another objective of the research carried out by the applicant was to guarantee the proper positioning of the struts in order to guarantee their proper operation and to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages.

[0014]This research has resulted in the designing and in the carrying out of a strut for lifting or for maintaining in open position a roof element comprising a swimming pool shelter resting on the edges of a pool that it covers. According to the invention, this strut is remarkable in that it comprises a high end linked in articulation to the edge of a roof element and a low end connected to the ground, via a means of fastening, making it possible to vary the position of the point of linking of the low end of the strut in relation to the ground....

Abstract

The invention relates to a strut (300a, 300b, 300c) for lifting a roof element (I) and/or maintaining same in the open position, said roof element forming a swimming pool enclosure (A) that rests on the edge of the pool. The invention is characterised in that it includes a high end (310a and 310b) hinged to the edge of a roof element (I) and a low end (320a and 320b) joined to the ground by a securing means (400), so that it is possible to vary the position of the point at which the low end (320a and 320b) of the strut (300a and 300b) is joined to the ground. The invention also relates to the method for installing one such strut. The invention is suitable for swimming pool enclosures.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to the field of the means of fastening, articulating and lifting roof elements comprising swimming pool shelters.DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART[0002]It exists in prior art swimming pool shelters comprised of fixed, articulated, sliding telescopic roof elements, etc.[0003]The edges of these roof elements must be maintained in position using a fastening lug providing at one end the link with the roof element and at another end a link with the ground or with the curb by means of a bolt. Conventionally, these lugs assume the pivot articulations required for the half-open position of the roof elements.[0004]However, the dimensional tolerances of the roof elements, the expansion and the contraction of the latter as well as the positioning tolerances of the fastening holes of the fastening lugs, make for possible difficulty in implementing this maintaining in position by fastening lug.[0005]In addition, when the roof elements are not of the same...
