Abstract

A device for covering a is provided that includes (a) a cover, each longitudinal edge of which is provided with a protruding element; (b) a drum mounted so as to rotate on frames and capable of winding the cover; (c) a translation system for translatably moving the drum on rails that are placed on either side of the surface; (d) a system for continuously locking/unlocking the protruding element into/from the rails during the translation of the drum. The translation system includes: —a first rotation means (M1) for activating the rotation of a closing axle that winds a pull cord (21) enabling the drum to be pulled in an opening direction (Do) along the rails. The drum (2) is translatably mounted so as to also be moved in translation along a component perpendicular to the plane (X, Y) so that the drum always rests on the surface or on the rails.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for covering a surface such as a swimming pool, a sports field, a glazed surface, a vehicle body, including: (a) a drum rotatingly mounted and capable of winding or unwinding a cover, said drum being mounted on longitudinal translation mechanisms including rails provided on either side of said surface; (b) an attachment system for said cover at one transverse end of the surface to be covered so that the translation and the rotation of the drum results in the winding/unwinding of the cover above the surface to be covered; (c) a system for continuously locking the longitudinal edges of the cover onto said rails that is progressively fitted during the unwinding operation.

Abstract

A device (1) for covering a surface (3) has a drum (2) mounted to rotate and able to wind up or unwind a cover (10). Two flexible belts (31) are fixed at their ends (35) to the four corners of the surface that is to be covered and arranged along the perimeter of the surface. A carriage (21) transversely overhangs the surface (3) and supports the drum. The carriage has at each end a drive wheel and at least two casters allowing for the longitudinal translational movement of the carriage together constituting a triangle of which the drive wheel forms the vertex. Sections (31a) of each flexible belt between their ends and the casters, are pressed against the length of the periphery of the surface, and so that the section (31b) of each belt between the at least two casters (33) runs over the drive wheel (9) without slipping.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (1) for covering a surface (3) comprising a drum (2) mounted to rotate and able to wind up or unwind a cover (10). Said drum (2) is mounted on a longitudinal-translation mechanism comprising: (a) two flexible belts (31) fixed only at each of their ends (35) to the four corners of the surface that is to be covered and arranged along the two lengths of the perimeter of the surface (3) that is to be covered; and (b) a carriage (21) transversely overhanging the surface (3) to be covered and supporting the drum (2), said carriage (21) comprising, at each of its ends: (i) a drive wheel (9) the rotation axle of which is parallel to that of said drum (2); (ii) at least two casters (33) resting on the surface directly adjacent to the surface (3) that is to be covered and allowing for the longitudinal translational movement of the carriage (21), these being mounted on each side of the drive wheel (9) and together with the latter constituting a triangle of which the drive wheel forms the vertex; so that the sections (31a) of each flexible belt (31) comprised between their points of attachment (35) and the casters, are pressed against the length of the periphery of the surface that is to be covered, and so that the section (31b) of each belt comprised between the at least two casters (33) runs over the drive wheel (9) without slipping.

Abstract

Device (1) for covering a surface (3) comprising a drum (2) mounted to rotate and able to wind up or unwind a cover (10), said drum (2) being mounted on a longitudinal- translation mechanism, said longitudinal-translation mechanism comprising (a) rails placed on either side of said surface (3), at least one of said rails (6) comprising a rack (7); and (b) at least one pinion (9) meshing with said rack (7) and the rotation of which allows the longitudinal translation of the drum (2); characterized in that the longitudinal-translation mechanism is such that it allows a transverse movement of the pinion (9) and/or of the rack (7) and/or of the rail (6), allowing the alignment between the pinion (9) and the corresponding rack (7) to be automatically adjusted.
