Claims
- 1. Cladding device (6) for the pond (1) of a swimming pool (2) or the like comprised of a slab (3) as well as of side walls (5) made of concrete or the like, characterized in that said cladding device (6) is formed of tightly juxtaposed glass plates (8, 9) applied, through mounting means (10), against the slab (3) and the side walls (5) of said pond (1), on the inner side (7) of the latter.
- 2. Cladding device (6) according to claim 1, characterized in that the mounting means (10) are defined by a frame (43), on the one hand, defined by an assembly of profile bars (45) adopting the form of angle irons, on the other hand, in which (43) a glass plate (8, 9) is inserted and tightly fixed and, furthermore, provided or designed so as to be capable of co-operating with means (44) allowing fixing it at the level of the slab (3) and/or of a side wall (5) of said pond (1).
- 3. Cladding device (6) according to claim 1, characterized in that the mounting means (10) are defined by a frame (11) comprised of an assembly of profile bars (12), namely of a metallic type, fixed to the slab (3) and/or to a side wall (5) of the pond (1), against this frame (11) being inserted said glass plates (8, 9).
- 4. Cladding device (6) according to claim 3, characterized in that two adjacent plates (8, 9) are contiguous at the level of a profile bar (12) extending longitudinally with respect to the juxtaposed edges (15) of said plates (8, 9).
- 5. Cladding device (6) according to claim 4, characterized in that two adjacent plates (8, 9) cladding, as the case may be, the slab (3) or a side wall (5) are inserted above a profile bar (12) fixed against this slab (3) or against this side wall (5)
- 6. Cladding device (6) according to claim 4, characterized in that at the level of the union between the slab (3) and a side wall (5), the frame (11) includes at least one profile bar (12) taking the shape of an angle iron against which is inserted a first glass plate (8) cladding said slab (3) and defining, in combination with said angle iron (12), means for encasing (20) a second glass plate (9) cladding a side wall (5).
- 7. Cladding device (6) according to claim 6, characterized in that the mounting means (10) include at least one fastening organ (27) taking the form of a fastening lug, on the one hand, made integral with a profile bar (12) of the frame (11) and, on the other hand, designed so as to be capable of co-operating with the edge (15, 27) of at least one glass plate (9), at the upper portion (26) of the latter, in order to fix and/or maintain such a plate (8, 9) at the level of a side wall (5) of the pond (1).
- 8. Cladding device (6) according to any of claims 2 to 7, characterized in that between two juxtaposed glass plates (8, 9) is defined a gap (31) into which is inserted a fir-type seal (32) coated with a silicone-type seal (33).
- 9. Cladding device (6) according to any of claims 3 to 8, characterized in that the mounting means (10) include at least one compressive gasket (34) inserted against such a profile bar (12) and including means (35) forming suction pads designed so as to be capable of co-operating with at least one glass plate (8, 9), in order to ensure an immobilization of the latter against said profile bar (12).
- 10. Cladding device (6) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that each glass plate (8, 9) is defined by a superposition of at least two glass plates (36, 37), preferably separated by a reinforcing element (38), namely a shielded, armored or laminated glass plate.
- 11. Cladding device (6) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that such a glass plate (8, 9) is of a transparent type and is completed with an enameled or lacquered-glass film, layer or plate having, as the case may be, particular patterns and/or a particular color.
- 12. Cladding device (6) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is completed with optical means capable of creating light effects or of transmitting a particular illumination light such means being arranged at the level of the slab (3) or of a side wall (5) of the pond (1), even interposed between the latter (1) and said cladding device (6).
- 13. Cladding device (6) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that such a glass plate (8, 9) is completed with an anti-slip coating (42).
