Abstract:
A swimming pool system (100) comprises a pool basin (102) having a basin base (106) and at least one side wall (104) extending upwardly therefrom; and an aperture movable floor element (112) which overlies at least a majority of the basin base (104) to partition the pool basin (102) into a volume-adjustable upper basin portion (102a) and a volume-adjustable lower basin portion (102b). The floor element (112) has a plurality of liquid-flow apertures spread across an upper surface (113) thereof for liquid communication between the upper basin portion (102a) and the lower basin portion (102b). A floor actuation means (116) for adjusting at least a vertical position of the floor element (112) within the pool basin (102) is also provided, whereby volumes of the upper and lower basin portions (102a, 102b) are adjustable while the pool basin (102) remains filled with liquid. A controller (120) is included for controlling the floor actuation means (116). A method of limiting the risk of drowning using such a system (100) is also provided. There is also an illuminated swimming pool system (200) comprising a pool basin (202); a floor element (212) defining a depth of the pool basin (202); lighting means for illuminating the pool basin (202) and/or floor element (212); and a controller (220) communicable with the lighting means for controlling an output of the lighting means in accordance with a predetermined health or fitness lighting sequence. A submersible lighting device (250) usable as part of the lighting means, and a method of providing a swimming challenge are also provided.

Abstract:
Le système de sécurité sauvetage pour piscines est composé d'une carcasse munie de deux porteurs (5, 6). Ces porteurs sont deux tubes parallèles et sont remplies d'air à l'intérieur. Un filet (7) est accroché à ces deux porteurs (5, 6). Toute la carcasse (5, 6, 7) est maintenue par quatre supports (1, 2, 3, 4) qui sont accrochés aux deux cotés parallèles de la piscine. Des détecteurs de mouvements inféras rouge (8, 9, 10, 11) avec alarme sont installés aux quatre coins de la piscine et fabriquent une ligne infra rouge (12).

Abstract:
A locking system for securing a cover that moves within a hole between a lowered position and a raised position is disclosed. The locking system includes one or more locking mechanisms. Each locking mechanism includes an upper leg and a lower leg, each upper leg and the lower leg having a proximal end and a distal end. Each locking mechanism further includes a first joint that joins the upper leg near the respective distal ends of the upper leg and the lower leg, the first joint allowing planar rotational motion of the upper leg relative to the lower leg between a minimum folded angle in the lowered position and a maximum unfolded angle in the raised position. Each locking mechanism further includes a second joint to flexibly attach the distal end of the upper leg on the bottom side of the cover to allow planar rotational motion of the upper leg relative to the cover, and a third joint to flexibly attach the distal end of the lower leg to an attachment disposed on the bottom of the hole.
Abstract:
A system (10) for raising and lowering a liner (12) or a swimming pool (14) includes a plate (22) used to define a spill way (24) for providing fluid communication between an outside surface (26) of the liner (12) and an inside surface (16) of the pool (14). The liner (12) is detached from surface (16) of the pool in the region behind the plate (22) and reattached along upper edge (28) of the plate (22) using a conventional locking strip (20). Conduit (30) has a length (30') which extends along back face (32) of plate (22) below the upper edge (28). Holes (34) cut in the plate (22) provide communication with length (30'). Conduit (36) having a length (36') extends across the back face (32) near its lower edge (38) to provide air to the spill way (24). The length (36') is provided with a number of holes (40) for admitting air into the spill way (24). In order to lift the liner (12), air is directed through conduits (30, 30') to the outside surface (26) of liner (12). The air progressively lifts the liner up and away from the inside surface (16) displacing water held within the pool (14) to flow over upper edge (28) into the spill way (24) so that the water now lies beneath the outside surface (26). In this way the liner (12) is progressively raised to eventually lie above the level of the water. To return liner (12) to its lining position air is passed through conduits (30, 36) into spill way (24). As the air rises it carries water up the spill way (24) and over the upper edge (28) onto the inside surface of liner (12) to sink the liner (12) back to its lining position.
