BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for handling a thermal insulating cover (2) of a spa or swim spa between its closed position, an open position and a parking position, wherein the thermo-insulating cover (2) comprises a drive segment (21) coupled to the drive and a entrained thermo-insulating segment (22) is rotatably coupled to the carrier segment (21), wherein during the opening or closing, the carrier segment (21) which entrains the entrained segment (22) and in the open position both thermo-insulating segments (21, 22) are in a vertical position and are facing each other with their abutment surfaces (211, 220), the driving segment (21) rotating about the axis (40) lying outside the spa or swim spa when opening and closing. Prior to the rotation of the driving segment (21) for the opening, the axle (40) of the driving segment (21) is raised above its resting position to its upper position, thereby raising the rear face (210) of the driving segment (21) and between the abutment surface ( 211) and a flange (11) of the spa container (1), a gap is formed, after which the driving segment (21) is rotated to a vertical position. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out this method, the principle of which is that the entrainment segment (21) is rigidly connected to the rotating device (4), which comprises a pair of rotary drives (41) mounted on devices (5) for vertical manipulation.
