Abstract
Coping for the top edge of a curvilinear wall of a swimming pool, the coping consisting of end-to-end sections and being characterized in that each section of coping (1) comprises: an approximately planar deck (2) designed, when the coping is in the installed position, to extend approximately transversely relative to the wall of the swimming pool, the deck (2) being formed by at least one plate (4) of a synthetic material thermoformed by flat pressing, at least one longitudinal edge of the deck comprising at least two outwardly directed longitudinal flanges (7) arranged one above the other with a gap between them, and at least one trim (3) formed by a profiled strip of extruded plastic fixed to the flanges (7) on one edge of the deck (2).

Coping for the top edge of a curvilinear wall of a swimming pool, said coping consisting of end-to-end sections and being characterized in that each section of coping (1) comprises:
- an approximately planar deck (2) designed, when the coping is in the installed position, to extend approximately transversely relative to said wall of the swimming pool, said deck (2) being formed by at least one plate (4) of a synthetic material thermoformed by flat pressing, at least one longitudinal edge of the deck comprising at least two outwardly directed longitudinal flanges (7) arranged one above the other with a gap between them, and
- at least one trim (3) formed by a profiled strip of extruded plastic fixed to said flanges (7) on one edge of the deck (2).
Process for producing coping in synthetic material for the top edge of a curvilinear wall of a swimming pool and consisting of end-to-end sections (1), said process being characterized in that
- each section of said coping (1) is made in the form of several constituent elements, including:
- an approximately planar deck (2) consisting of at least one plate (4) of a synthetic material that is flat-thermoformed on a mold (11), said deck (2) having at least one longitudinal edge treated in such a way as to comprise at least two outwardly directed longitudinal flanges (7) arranged one above the other with a gap between them, and
- at least one trim (3) formed by a profiled strip of synthetic material which is extruded,
- and the thermoformed deck (4) is then assembled and fixed to the extruded trim or trims (3) to form a section of coping (1).
