Abstract

The invention relates to a movable support for the ends of the movable partition walls of swimming pools, which is intended for dividing swimming pools into separate spaces having different sizes in order to carry out different activities and make better use of the space and which basically includes four wheels (1) driven by a mechanism (2) made up of a set of pulleys with idler devices (10) and connected to one another by belts (3), which includes a driving pulley (4) at the top which is connected to a reducing set of pulleys (5, 6) at the bottom, which in turn is connected with corresponding pulleys (8) secured to the shafts (9) of the wheels (1), wherein the set of wheels (1), pulleys (8) and idler devices (10) is installed in a base frame (12) and the driving pulley (4), the reducing set of pulleys (5, 6) and the corresponding idler device (10) are installed in a fairing (14) coupled to the base frame (12).

APOYO DESPLAZABLE PARA LOS EXTREMOS DE LAS PAREDES MÓVILES DISPLACABLE SUPPORT FOR THE EXTREME OF MOBILE WALLS

DE PISCINAS OF POOLS

Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention

Como es sabido, según el uso al que se destine una piscina precisará de unas determinadas dimensiones. Por ejemplo, las piscinas para niños tienen unas dimensiones más reducidas que las destinadas a adultos, y de mayor dimensión son las destinadas a competición. As is known, depending on the use to which a pool is intended, it will require certain dimensions. For example, children's pools have smaller dimensions than those for adults, and larger ones are those for competition.

El disponer de varias piscinas con distintas dimensiones representa necesitar un gran espacio y un alto coste para su construcción. Having several pools with different dimensions means needing a large space and a high cost for its construction.

Para solucionar este problema se ha dotado a algunas piscinas de una pared móvil con la que se consigue dividirlas en dos espacios de distintas medidas. Dicha pared es desplazable a lo largo de la piscina y está constituida por un puente dispuesto transversalmente y que se apoya por sus extremos mediante ruedas sobre los bordes laterales de la piscina provistos de los correspondientes carriles. Con ello se pueden formar fácilmente espacios separados para desarrollar distintas actividades. To solve this problem, some pools have been equipped with a movable wall with which they can be divided into two spaces of different sizes. Said wall is movable along the pool and is constituted by a bridge arranged transversely and supported by its ends by means of wheels on the side edges of the pool provided with the corresponding rails. With this you can easily form separate spaces to develop different activities.

Las ruedas suelen accionarse mediante un motor a con medios de acción manual. The wheels are usually driven by a motor with manual action means.

Sumario de la invención Es objeto de esta invención dotar a las paredes móviles sendos apoyos extremos equipados con un mecanismo simplificado, de fácil funcionamiento y eficiente. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the object of this invention to provide the mobile walls with two end supports equipped with a simplified, easy-to-operate and efficient mechanism.

Para ello el mecanismo se basa en un juego de poleas relacionadas mediante correas, el cual comprende una polea motriz que se relaciona con un conjunto de poleas reductor que, a su vez, se relaciona con sendas poleas solidarias de los ejes de las ruedas, estando dispuestos en las correas sendos dispositivos tensores de las mismas. El conjunto de ruedas con sus poleas y con sus dispositivos tensores está instalado en una armazón de base, y la polea motriz, el conjunto de poleas reductor, y su dispositivo tensor están instalados en un carenado acoplado sobre dicha armazón. For this, the mechanism is based on a set of pulleys related by belts, which comprises a driving pulley that is related to a set of reducing pulleys, which, in turn, is related to two solidarity pulleys of the wheel axles, being arranged in the belts two tensioning devices thereof. The wheel assembly with its pulleys and with its tensioning devices is installed in a base frame, and the driving pulley, the reduction pulley assembly, and its tensioning device are installed in a fairing coupled on said frame.

Estas y otras características se desprenderán mejor de la descripción detallada que sigue, para facilitar la cual se acompaña de una lámina de dibujos en la que se ha representado un caso práctico de realización que se cita solamente a titulo de ejemplo no limitativo del alcance de la presente invención. These and other characteristics will be better derived from the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which a practical case of embodiment has been represented that is cited only as a non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention

Descripción detallada Detailed description

De acuerdo con los dibujos el apoyo objeto de esta invención, está provisto de cuatro ruedas (1 ) alineadas que son accionadas mediante un mecanismo (2) que se basa en un juego de poleas relacionadas mediante correas (3), el cual comprende superiormente una polea motriz (4) que se relaciona interiormente con un conjunto de poleas reductor, que comprende una polea de mayor diámetro (5) y una de menor diámetro (6) acopladas a un mismo eje (7), que a su vez se relaciona con sendas poleas (8) solidarias de los ejes (9) de las ruedas (1 ). According to the drawings, the support object of this invention is provided with four aligned wheels (1) that are driven by a mechanism (2) that is based on a set of pulleys related by belts (3), which superiorly comprises a drive pulley (4) that is internally related to a set of reducing pulleys, comprising a pulley of greater diameter (5) and one of smaller diameter (6) coupled to the same axis (7), which in turn is related to two pulleys (8) in solidarity with the axles (9) of the wheels (1).

Todas las correas (3) comprenden sendos dispositivos tensores (10) regulables constituidos por respectivas poleillas desplazables y fijables en correspondientes colisos (1 1 ). All belts (3) comprise two adjustable tensioning devices (10) constituted by respective movable and adjustable pulleys in corresponding collisions (1 1).

El conjunto de ruedas (1 ) con sus poleas (8) y sus dispositivos tensores (10) está instalado en una armazón de base (12) dotada superiormente de una placa embellecedora (13); y la polea motriz (4), el conjunto de poleas reductor (5, 6), y su dispositivo tensor (10), están instalados en un carenado (14) acoplado sobre la armazón de base (12) y formado por tapas desmontables para tener acceso al mecanismo de poleas. La invención, dentro de su esencialidad, puede ser llevada a la práctica en otras formas de realización que difieran solo en detalle de la indicada únicamente a titulo de ejemplo, a las cuales alcanzará igualmente la protección que se recaba. Podrá, pues, fabricarse este apoyo desplazable para los extremos de las paredes móviles de piscinas, en cualquier forma y tamaño, con los medios y materiales más adecuados y con los accesorios más convenientes, pudiendo los elementos componentes ser sustituidos por otros técnicamente equivalentes, por quedar todo ello comprendido dentro del espíritu de las reivindicaciones. The wheel assembly (1) with its pulleys (8) and its tensioning devices (10) is installed in a base frame (12) provided with a trim plate (13); and the drive pulley (4), the reducer pulley assembly (5, 6), and its tensioning device (10), are installed in a fairing (14) coupled on the base frame (12) and formed by removable covers to access the pulley mechanism. The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated only by way of example, to which the protection sought will also be achieved. This movable support can therefore be manufactured for the ends of the mobile walls of swimming pools, in any shape and size, with the most appropriate means and materials and with the most convenient accessories, the component elements being able to be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, by all of this is understood within the spirit of the claims.
