Description

Be used to practise the multipurpose compact ground swimming pool of original place swimming

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of compact multipurpose ground swimming pool that is used to practise original place swimming (nage stationnaire), it is used for leisure and (loosens, plays with water ...), competition training, maintenance and rehabilitation, the therapy of practicing or treatment etc.

More particularly; The present invention relates to a kind of miniature ground swimming pool of compactness; It can be by means of obtainable light machinery or material transport and move usually; And both can also can for example in house or apartment, use, wherein use the water (for example using the water of about 5m3) of small size for undersized pond outdoor in indoor use.According to another embodiment, can this miniature swimming pool be installed on the wheel, and can move to another place with the mode of trailer or trailer from the three unities with towing vehicle.

Background technology

The very little and swimming pool that be mainly used in the swimming of individual original place of size still is in the imagination stage, and the various designs that propose so far still fail to obtain promising exploitation, especially because do not solve the existing problem of this article, for example:

-when environment temperature is low, use uncomfortable;

-can not avoid the water sputter of all directions in the environment of pond;

-lack and the suitable sensation of sensation of in large swimming pool, swimming and being obtained;

-be difficult to make the swimmer to remain on the core in pond and along the center line in pond.

Proposed the small-sized pond that (for example WO-01/12123 and WO-2004/012827) is used to practise original place swimming, this pond is provided with open protection caping or vault so that allow the swimmer to get in the pond.In this case, though by the open swimming pool that vault or overburden sealed the means of the sputter that prevents peripheral pool water can be provided, it can not eliminate when when environment temperature is low, use generation uncomfortable inevitably.In addition, because the pond is capped the thing complete closed, the swimmer is closed in the enclosure space that limits to very much and therefore possibly experienced anxiety owing to completely cutting off.

Various devices have been designed to guarantee making the swimmer be in the center in pond and center line along the pond.For example; Propose among the aforementioned documents WO-01/12123 swimmer's bolt is being fixed on the belly holder at basin bottom and center; And according to document GB-2382525 and WO-2004/012827, imagination is connected to the swimmer on relative vertical wall in pond with two flexible strip.The shortcoming of these devices is that they are fixed on the swimmer swimming pool center and are not provided at the sensation of advancing in the pond with length to him.For overcoming this shortcoming, document WO-2004/012827 proposes, by means of two pipelines that are provided with along vertical wall of swimming pool, and will returning by swimmer's current that motion produced towards the swimming pool front.Yet such method needs very special pond structure, and the cost in this pond is therefore compelled to be increased.

That for example, has described the swimming pool top edge that is used to practise original place swimming among document GB-2 382 525 and the US-5 787 519 is used to avoid the device that spills.According to document GB-2 382 525; The top edge of swimming pool has and is used to smash the inclined to one side concave shape of wave and smooth top; And according to document US-5 787 519; The top edge that overflows the type swimming pool is made up of the flange or the lip of the part of general triangular, and the perimeter trench that the latter is overflowed water by collection centers on.Result by these two types configurations obtain is very undesirable.
