A modular and multipurpose covering device for a pool includes a first modular covering tarpaulin forming a tailor-made safety cover made up of first tarpaulin elements which are joined together reversibly by transverse supports. A second modular covering tarpaulin is superimposed with the first tarpaulin and made up of second tarpaulin elements which are joined together reversibly by the same transverse supports. This second covering tarpaulin affords additional functions that can be modified according to the season. The two end transverse supports are coupled to lashing and tensioning mechanism for securing and holding down on ground covering device that is arranged over a pool.

Modular and multipurpose covering device for a pool, comprising a first modular covering tarpaulin made of first tarpaulin elements arranged adjacently, aligned in a first plane and joined together by transverse supports in order to obtain a covering device with the desired length, said first tarpaulin elements comprising on their transverse edges joining elements arranged to cooperate with first joining zones having a complementary shape provided in said transverse supports and allowing to realize a reversible assembly of the first tarpaulin elements together, wherein said covering device further comprises a second modular covering tarpaulin, superimposed on first covering tarpaulin, and made of second tarpaulin elements with a width identical or slightly smaller than that of first tarpaulin elements, arranged adjacently, aligned in a second plane substantially parallel to first plane in which said first covering tarpaulin is extending, and assembled to first tarpaulin elements by fasteners, said second tarpaulin elements comprising on their transverse edges joining elements arranged to cooperate with second joining zones having a complementary shape provided on said fasteners and allowing to realize a reversible assembly of second tarpaulin elements with respect to first tarpaulin elements, and in that second covering tarpaulin has technical properties different from those of first covering tarpaulin.
Tarpaulin element for a covering device for a pool, said tarpaulin element being made of a rectangular panel with predefined width and length, forming a modular and interchangeable element of a modular and multipurpose covering device, said tarpaulin element comprising on its parallel transverse edges joining elements for cooperating with complementary joining zones provided in transverse supports and/or fasteners of said covering device when they are joined to form a covering tarpaulin, wherein said joining elements end before the ends of said tarpaulin element to allow said ends to rest naturally on the ground, and further comprising two end flaps that define its longitudinal edges and that are arranged to reinforce the longitudinal edges of said covering device obtained after joining and to facilitate the handling of said tarpaulin element.
