Description

The invention relates to a swimming pool with a support console.

Swimming pools or swimming pools exist in different designs and sizes. In addition to the actual pool filled with water, swimming pools often require additional elements or assemblies that improve the functionality of the swimming pool or make it more comfortable. For example, covers can be provided for the swimming pool filled with water, which are attached horizontally above the swimming pool in the manner of a blind. Such covers can be used when the swimming pool is not in use to thermally insulate the water in the swimming pool and thus significantly save heating costs for the swimming pool. In addition, such covers are useful to prevent debris, such as leaves, from falling into the pool water.

In addition, water-conducting fittings are often arranged at the edge of swimming pools, for example for a waterfall shower, from which water falls from above the surface of the water in the swimming pool. Such fittings can be used to increase the well-being of people using the swimming pool. A waterfall shower, for example, is suitable for massaging the head and shoulder area of a person in the swimming pool. Other elements or assemblies often required in connection with a swimming pool are brackets for barriers, lighting devices, planters or similar. A stable base is required to attach these assemblies or elements. In particular, a cover for a swimming pool requires a stable base that can sustain high static and dynamic loads over a long period of time.

A known way to create such a base for an assembly or element near a swimming pool is to provide a concrete foundation. To create such a concrete foundation, a pit is usually dug, formwork is attached and the foundation is then poured from liquid concrete material. The production of such a foundation is complex and requires special tools and knowledge in the field of concrete processing.

Another option for attaching elements or assemblies to the edge of a swimming pool is to design the pool walls of the swimming pool from concrete and to make them sufficiently thick so that the pool wall itself is sufficiently stable to simultaneously form the foundation for assemblies and elements. The disadvantage of this solution is that the effort and material requirements for producing the pool wall increase significantly.

In some cases it happens that additional assemblies or elements need to be added subsequently, i.e. after the swimming pool has been constructed, for example if it is recognized that a cover for the swimming pool is required to reduce operating costs. In the case of such a retrofit, the classic concrete foundation is usually chosen as a solution, but for this a pit must be dug near the pool and formwork erected. This is time-consuming and usually leads to suboptimal results because the swimming pool and the added foundation are not firmly connected to each other. This may cause a positional shift between the foundation and the pool during operation of the additional assembly.

US 2005/0 204 465 A1 describes a device for arranging accessories, such as a ladder or a handrail on a water container.

US 4,137,576 A describes a wall for a swimming pool. The wall is based on a so-called “A” frame.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose solutions with which a simplified creation of a base for arranging additional elements or assemblies near or on the edge of a swimming pool is made possible.

This object of the invention is achieved by a swimming pool, consisting of a pool floor and pool walls extending upwards thereon, with at least one pool wall carrying a support console on the outside of the swimming pool, the support console being connected to the pool wall via a fastening connection, the support console a base body which, in the installed position, has a support connection on its upper region and the fastening connection on its side region to the pool wall of the swimming pool, the pool wall being formed from a plurality of flat wall elements which are on the outside, the inside of the pool facing away, are connected by at least one retaining strip, to absorb horizontal forces on the outside of the swimming pool, support elements are provided which cooperate statically with the at least one retaining strip, wherein the at least one retaining strip has a connecting counter element which interacts with the fastening connection of the support console, in particular statically, and wherein the connecting counter element is arranged between the fastening connection and the retaining strip, the connecting counter element being a has a first interface which is connected to the retaining strip and the connection counter element has a second interface which is connected to the fastening connection, wherein the connection counter element partially surrounds the retaining strip.

The support bracket provided according to the invention is intended to provide a base for arranging at least one element. This base is formed by the carrying connection, which represents a portion of the carrying console. The fastening connection of the support console is used to attach the support console to an object that is different from the support console. Such an object can be formed, for example, by the pool wall of a swimming pool. On the one hand, the support console is connected to an object via its fastening connection and, on the other hand, carries an element or an assembly on its support connection.

The supporting basic construction of the support console forms its base body. This base body is preferably designed according to the principles of lightweight construction, with the components of the base body being geometrically designed in such a way that they have high static and dynamic strength with the lowest possible weight. This can be achieved, for example, with a frame-like structure that is stabilized by struts. The base body positions the support connection relative to the fastening connection. The support connection and the fastening connection are arranged on the base body or are formed by partial areas of the base body. The support connection is arranged in the installed position of the support console on or in its upper area. The installation position is to be understood as meaning the orientation of the support console in space that the support console assumes after installation or attachment to an object, for example on the pool wall of a swimming pool. In the installed position, the support connection usually forms the highest part of the support console in the vertical direction.

The support connection can have different shapes and sizes. In a simple embodiment, the support connection is formed by a base plate, which is attached or arranged at the upper end of the base body in the installed position. This base plate then serves as a support connection or interface for arranging an element on the support console. In an alternative embodiment, the support connection can also be designed, for example, as a projection or pin onto which an element can be plugged. Furthermore, it is possible for the support connection to be formed by a recess, such as a socket, into which an element can be inserted. The support connection is shaped and dimensioned in such a way that it can be connected in a simple manner, in particular in a form-fitting manner, to an element which is to be received by the support console. When using a support bracket to provide a base on a swimming pool, the support connector is preferably located near the top edge of a pool wall. At least one fastening connection is also arranged on the base body. The fastening connection can be formed by a portion of the base body or by an additional component.

Furthermore, it is possible for several fastening connections to be arranged on the base body. The fastening connection is arranged on a lateral region of the base body in the installed position. The fastening connection is therefore located on or in a portion of the base body which is different from the portion of the base body on or in which the support connection is provided. The support connection is preferably arranged on a portion of the base body that runs in the vertical direction in the installed position. For example, the support connection can be arranged on or in a surface on the base body, the normal vector of which runs in a substantially horizontal direction in the installed position.

In the installed position, the fastening connection is preferably arranged in the vertical direction below the support connection. The fastening connection forms the interface which is intended for attaching the support console to an object, for example the pool wall of a swimming pool. In order to ensure a particularly stable attachment of the support console to an object, it is also possible to arrange several, spaced-apart attachment connections on the base body.

The fastening connection can also be shaped and dimensioned differently. In a simple embodiment, the fastening connection can be formed, for example, by a penetration opening in a partial region of the base body. Such a penetration opening makes it possible to fix the support console to an object using a screw. The mounting connection can alternatively also be used as a plug or hook, which is provided for a positive connection with an opening in the object with a complementary shape.

It is also possible for the fastening connection to be formed by a receptacle, which represents a cavity in the base body. To attach it to an object, a projection of the object is inserted in a form-fitting manner into the receptacle of the attachment connection. In addition to the support connection and the fastening connection, the base body can include other components or assemblies. For example, mounting interfaces for connection to installation elements such as hoses, pipes or cables can be provided inside the base body. In addition, the base body can have receiving interfaces for receiving units such as pumps, batteries, filters or others.

The support bracket provided according to the invention has the advantage that no additional foundation is required to create a basis for arranging an element on an object, for example a pool wall of a swimming pool. The support console can be connected directly to the object and is designed in such a way that force and torque transmission is possible between the element carried by the support console and the object carrying the support console. If one considers, as an example, the application in which a holder for a cover for a swimming pool is to be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool, the support console enables the simple creation of a base for the holder through the support connection of the support console. The support console is attached via its fastening connection to the pool wall of the swimming pool, on the outside facing away from the inside of the pool. With this arrangement, the support connection is positioned adjacent to or near the upper edge of the pool wall and can be used there as a base for attaching the holder. It is advantageous that the flow of forces that act on the holder leads through the support bracket directly into the existing pool wall of the swimming pool. An additional foundation for the holder is therefore saved.

The support console according to the invention provides the base outside the pool wall. In this way, the pool wall can only be designed according to the requirements of static stability and does not have to be additionally widened to serve as a base for the holder or the element. This means that in many cases the thickness of the pool wall can be reduced, which in turn reduces the effort and costs for the pool wall. In addition, the use of the support bracket is very flexible compared to creating an additional concrete foundation. The support console can be arranged at different positions on an object via the fastening connection. This arrangement can be made during the construction of an object, for example a swimming pool.

The positioning and attachment of the support bracket to the object can be carried out using simple hand tools, thus eliminating the time-consuming and complex steps of creating formwork and pouring the foundation. The support console can be arranged at a time when the actual object, for example a swimming pool, has been completed, but its edges have not yet been filled with soil or other filling material. In this condition, the walls of the property or swimming pool are particularly easy to reach. Alternatively, it is also possible to attach a support bracket to an existing and used swimming pool. To attach the support console, excavation only needs to be carried out in a partial area outside the property or swimming pool, which allows the support console to be installed. However, the support bracket can be easily attached to the existing wall of the object or swimming pool. This subsequent attachment of the support bracket to create a base for arranging an object also eliminates the effort required to provide formwork and pour a foundation.

In the application example in which the support bracket provided according to the invention is arranged on the pool wall of a swimming pool, this arrangement is also possible on differently designed pool walls. It can be attached to pool walls made of concrete or masonry, as well as to pool walls made of metal or fiber-reinforced plastic. The support bracket provided according to the invention can therefore be used flexibly for attaching elements to swimming pools of various designs. In addition, the support bracket can be attached both when building a new swimming pool and when retrofitting an additional base for an element. The support bracket provided according to the invention is simple and constructed from a few components. This means that the assembly and attachment of the support console is also possible without specialist knowledge. Thus, by using the support console provided according to the invention to create a basis, personnel costs for specialist personnel are saved.

The simple construction of the support bracket also allows it to be transported in dismantled form and only assembled on site at the construction site. This saves transport volume. The support bracket provided according to the invention can be integrated particularly well into a kit for building a swimming pool, which has all the individual parts and components required for the swimming pool. Such a kit allows you to build a swimming pool easily and cost-effectively.

In one embodiment of the support console it is provided that the base body is designed like a tower or prismatic. The term tower-like means that the height of the base body is greater than its width and depth. Height is understood to mean the dimension of the base body, which is oriented essentially vertically in the installed position. The support connection is arranged at a front end of the base body in the direction of the height of the base body. If the support connection is formed by a particularly flat base plate, the height of the base body extends perpendicular to the largest surface of the base plate.

The width and depth dimensions each extend perpendicular to the height. In addition, the width and depth dimensions extend perpendicular to each other.

Preferably, the height of a tower-like base body is at least twice as large as the width and depth of the base body. This results in an elongated shape of the base body, which makes it possible to connect the base body to an object, for example a concrete wall of a swimming pool, via one or more fastening connections at several positions along the height. When assembled, these multiple positions are arranged vertically one above the other in the installed position. Due to several connection positions in the vertical direction, the base body and thus the support console are particularly well suited to transmitting forces and moments introduced into the support connection via the fastening connection further into the object, in particular the pool wall of the swimming pool. This gives the support console a high level of bending rigidity and stability. At the same time, the support console has a slim design and can be arranged on the object with little space required due to its significantly smaller dimensions in width and depth. This slim shape is particularly advantageous if a support console is to be retrofitted. In a case where a support bracket is to be attached to the outward-facing side of a swimming pool, it is sufficient to dig a hole or pit of small dimensions in order to be able to attach the support bracket to the outside of the pool wall.

Alternatively or additionally, the base body can be designed prismatically. In a prismatic shape, the base body preferably has a polygonal cross section in a plane parallel to the height. In a simple embodiment, this cross section is rectangular, the dimensions of this rectangular cross section corresponding to the width and depth of the base body. In addition, a polygonal shape of the base body is also possible. In this case, the width and depth of the base body are the longest mutually perpendicular dimensions within this cross section. The base body obtains its prismatic shape in that a polygonal cross section of the base body extends along the height direction, resulting in a three-dimensional base body. This three-dimensional base body is preferably constructed like a frame and has surfaces and struts, particularly on its outer sides. Such a prismatic base body has a high moment of resistance around several bending axes, which results from its three-dimensional extension in space. In this way, the base body can effectively transfer loads such as forces and bending moments, which are introduced into the support connection from different directions, and introduce them via the fastening connection into the object to which the support bracket is attached. In a simple embodiment, the base body can, for example, have a rectangular cross section. In the direction of the height of the base body, ladder-like frame elements extend at least on two opposite side surfaces. These frame elements are connected to one another via one or more stiffening elements. The stiffening elements extend parallel to the surfaces of the rectangular cross section on which the frame elements are not arranged. This results in a cuboid shape of the base body. The interior of this cuboid is essentially hollow. A base body designed in this way has high bending strength and is light at the same time. To increase stability, additional diagonal struts can be arranged inside the cuboid base body.

The base body of the support console is preferably designed according to the principles of lightweight construction. Such a base body can also be designed, for example, similar to the boom of a crane, which is composed of individual light struts to form a three-dimensional, box-shaped object. The struts are like this arranged that forces and moments to be transmitted from the support console are preferably guided along these struts as compressive and tensile forces. All of the described alternatives for the shape of the base body mean that it is designed to be resistant to bending and torsion with low weight and is therefore particularly suitable for transferring forces and moments from the support connection to the fastening connection and vice versa.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the ratio of the height of the base body to its width or depth is at least 2, preferably at least 3, particularly preferably at least 4. A definition of the dimensions height, width and depth of the base body can be found in connection with the previously described embodiment. As shown, the base body is preferably designed like a tower or elongated in order to enable attachment in the vertical direction at several positions in the installed position. For this purpose, the ratio of the height to the width and depth of the base body is at least two, preferably at least three and particularly preferably at least four. A ratio of at least four means that the height is at least four times as large as the width and depth of the base body. However, if the ratio of height to width and depth of the base body is chosen to be greater than seven or even greater than ten, the bending stiffness of the base body drops around horizontally oriented bending axes, so that its stability is lower than with a smaller ratio. The ratio between height and width or depth of the base body is therefore preferably between four and seven.

Cleverly it is provided that the frame-like base body has two side frame elements which are connected by at least one stiffening element. In this embodiment, the base body comprises two frame elements which are arranged on opposite sides of the base body. These two frame elements are connected to one another by at least one stiffening element, which preferably extends at right angles to the frame elements. The frame elements are preferably significantly longer in the direction of the height of the base body, in particular at least a factor of two longer than the distance between the frame elements. The frame elements have a largest area, which is preferably oriented parallel to the direction of the height of the base body.

The frame elements can be flat or plate-shaped, in which case they have two largest surfaces oriented parallel to one another. For example, the frame elements can be made from flat sheet metal. To save weight, recesses can be provided in the frame elements.

The frame elements can have an outer frame, which has a rectangular outer shape and completely surrounds the frame elements. Several cross struts can be arranged inside the frame elements, which connect opposite sides of the outer frame. This results in a ladder-shaped structure of the frame elements. Alternatively, the frame elements can also be assembled like a frame from tubes. The at least one stiffening element connects the frame elements, creating a three-dimensional structure of the base body. Such a three-dimensional structure is well suited to transmitting forces and moments that act in different directions. More than one stiffening element is preferably arranged between the two side frame elements. This allows the stability of the base body to be increased.

It is also possible to arrange more than two frame elements. It is also possible for the stiffening element to be formed by another frame element. For example, three or four frame elements together can form the base body, with adjacent frame elements being arranged at right angles to one another. However, it is also possible for the stiffening element to be significantly smaller than the side frame elements. In a simple embodiment, the stiffening element can, for example, be designed as a flat sheet metal which is fastened between the two opposing frame elements. The base body with the frame elements and the at least one stiffening element can be transported prefabricated and preassembled to the construction site or the installation site. Alternatively, it is possible that the base body is only assembled from the individual parts on the construction site shortly before the addition and then attached to the object.

Furthermore, it is conveniently provided that the side frame elements are connected in the upper area by a base plate and the base plate forms the support connection, the base plate being designed in particular to cooperate with a screw-on plate of an element to be supported by the support console. In this embodiment, the support connection is formed by a base plate, which is arranged in the installed position at the upper end of the side frame elements. The base plate forms the interface or basis for arranging an element to be supported by the support console. A sol This element can be, for example, the holder for the cover of a swimming pool.

The base plate can be flat and have recesses which are intended for the introduction of fastening elements. The base plate connects the side frame elements together and fixes them in their position relative to each other. The base plate therefore acts similarly to a stiffening element and transmits forces and moments to and in the base body. The base plate is at least partially shaped so that it fits the element to be supported. The thickness of the base plate is preferably greater than the thickness of the side frame elements. As a result, the base plate represents a stable base for attaching an element. The largest surfaces of the base plate are preferably arranged essentially at right angles to the largest surfaces of the frame elements. This results in a box-like or tower-like shape of the support console, which is particularly favorable for transmitting forces and moments while at the same time being low in weight. Preferably, the base plate is shaped and dimensioned so that it cooperates with a screw-on plate, which is arranged on an element to be supported by the support console.

Such an interaction can be realized, for example, by aligning recesses in the base plate with recesses or openings in the screw-on plate. In this way, screw connections can be guided through both the base plate and the screw-on plate, which then fixes the screw-on plate with the element to the support console in the assembled state. The connection between the base plate and the temporal frame elements can be carried out by screw connections, plug connections or even adhesive or welded connections.

It is advantageously provided that the frame element is designed as a flat sheet metal part with laterally angled flanges that run vertically in the installed position. In this embodiment, the frame element is made of flat sheet metal and has one or more angled flanges. These flanges are angled relative to the largest surfaces of the frame element, in particular oriented at a right angle thereto. These flanges increase the bending rigidity of the frame element. At the same time, the flanges can be used to fasten the stiffening elements or to arrange the fastening connection on the support console. In the installed position, the flanges run in a vertical direction, that is, along the direction of the height of the support console. The area of the bend that connects each flange to the largest area of the frame element, or the bending axis, also runs vertically in the installed position and along the height of the support console. In a cross section in a horizontal plane in the installed position, a frame element preferably has a U-shaped shape, the area with the largest area of the frame element being the middle part of the U and two flanges arranged at the edges of the area with the largest area the legs of the U form.

Furthermore, it is provided that the flange of the frame element and/or the stiffening element carries the fastening connection. In this embodiment, the flange serves as a supporting element for the stiffening element and/or the fastening connection. The connection between the flange and the stiffening element can be made, for example, by screws or rivets. In an embodiment in which the flange is arranged at right angles to the largest surface of the frame element, a base body with a rectangular cross-section can be easily constructed by fastening a flat stiffening element between two flanges opposite frame elements.

Such a base body is easy to assemble and has high strength. Arranging the fastening connection on or in one or two flanges means that it can be easily reached for mounting the support bracket on an object. Arranging the fastening connection on or in the stiffening element is also easy to achieve for mounting the support bracket. In a simple embodiment, the fastening connection can be formed by one or more penetration openings, which are arranged in a flange or the stiffening element. Alternatively, the fastening connection can also have one or more further components which are arranged on the flange or on the stiffening element. Such a component can be, for example, a screw bracket or a fastening plate.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the angled flanges, which run vertically in the installed position, are designed as L-profiles. Both legs of this L-profile are preferably equipped with penetration openings. This has the advantage that the carrying console equipped in this way can be mounted in two different positions. The positions differ by the inner angle of the two legs of the L, usually 90°. Seen in cross section, the support console is often rectangular. This design allows the support console to be located both on the long side of the pool and on the front side of the pool and the alignment of the receiving elements on the support plate remains the same every time.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the fastening connection has means for adjusting the height of the support console. The final upper edge of the pool, and therefore also the position of the base plate, is often still variable, which is why it is beneficial to provide means for height adjustment on the support console. This allows the connecting elements to be reused for different heights of the support console. This is achieved, for example, in that the flange has a row, or at least two, three or even more, penetration openings arranged one above the other in the installed position. This enables a locked height adjustment. A continuous height adjustment is achieved through a penetration opening designed as an elongated hole, with the longitudinal axis of the elongated hole being oriented vertically in the installed position.

In a further embodiment it is provided that the fastening connection is designed as a plug, clamp or screw connection. Such a connection can be formed entirely by one or more components of the base body or can have additional connecting elements. In the case of a plug-in connection, partial areas, for example of the flange or the stiffening element, can be shaped in such a way that they protrude over the remaining area of these elements. In this way, the protruding areas can be inserted into recesses in the object that is to carry the support console. With a clamp connection as a fastening connection, partial areas of the base body, in particular the flange and the stiffening element, can be introduced into a clamping device that belongs to the object. In a screw connection, one or more screws are provided, which are guided through openings or penetration openings that belong to the base body. In general, all forms of fastening connection are suitable that enable long-term stable transmission of force and torque between the support bracket and an object.

In a preferred embodiment of the proposal it is provided that the flange of the frame element has penetration openings which form the fastening connection. In this simple embodiment, the fastening connection is formed by penetration openings which penetrate the flange. Fasteners such as screws, rivets or nails can be guided through this penetration opening to attach the support bracket to an object. Penetration openings can be easily introduced into the flange by drilling or punching. The fastening connection can preferably have a plurality of penetration openings spaced apart from one another. An arrangement of several penetration openings distributed over the height of the base body, which together form the fastening connection, enables the support bracket to be fastened at several positions in the vertical direction. Such an attachment allows the transmission of high forces and moments between the support console and the object on which it is arranged.

In a further embodiment it is provided that the base body has a prismatic outer shape, wherein the base body has a polygonal cross section which extends in the direction of the height of the base body, at least one outer surface of the base body having a recess or opening and in the interior of the base body Cavity is provided, wherein the cavity is accessible through the at least one recess from outside the support console, in particular wherein the cavity extends over the entire height of the base body. In this embodiment, a prismatic outer shape of the base body is achieved in that a polygonal cross section extends in the direction of the height of the base body. The cross section preferably extends in a straight line or linearly along the height. In this way, the base body has a prismatic, three-dimensional external shape. This outer shape is formed by material which has at least one recess in some areas. This means that the base body is partially delimited by material on the outside and is therefore closed and is partially open. The interior of the base body has a cavity. This cavity is accessible from outside the base body through the at least one recess. Preferably, several recesses are arranged in different outer walls of the base body, all of which allow access to the cavity inside.

A base body constructed in this way is defined by external surfaces. The cavity inside makes it possible to arrange or lay elements there. These can be, for example, hoses, lines or units. Furthermore, this structure provides a base body with high stability and low weight at the same time. As a result, the base body is stable on the one hand and can be transported easily on the other. This embodiment of the base body is further advantageous if a support console with such a base body is arranged on the outer wall of a swimming pool and after the swimming pool has been assembled and completed, the area outside the pool wall is filled with filling material such as earth or sand. During this filling, filling material can also penetrate into the interior of the base body through the recess and thereby additionally stabilizes it. Furthermore, it is avoided that the introduced filling material exerts pressure on the base body and thereby destabilizes it. When filling material on the outside of the pool wall, the base body is also filled and thereby additionally anchored and stabilized in the filling material.

The use of a support bracket makes it possible to easily provide a base for attaching an element near or on the edge of a swimming pool. A support console according to one of the previously described embodiments is preferably used. The support connection of the support console is intended to carry one or more elements. These elements can be various assemblies, fittings or other devices that are required near a swimming pool. Using the support bracket allows for quick and easy installation of a base near a swimming pool. The support console can be easily attached to the pool wall of the swimming pool. In a simple embodiment, in which the fastening connection is formed by a plurality of penetration openings in a portion of the base body of the support console, the support console can be easily attached and fixed to the pool wall by screw connections. Due to the light weight of the support bracket and the simple method of attachment, it can also be used by untrained people and requires no specialist knowledge or special machines. Using the support bracket allows different elements to be attached. It is also possible to use several support brackets to arrange different elements on a swimming pool. Its use is particularly advantageous when retrofitting a swimming pool with an additional element. Since the support console can be attached quickly and easily, effort and time are saved compared to the known procedure in which a new, separate foundation has to be created for an additional element. Even when building a new swimming pool with one element, using the support bracket can save time, effort and the amount of material. The use of the support bracket is also advantageous when building a swimming pool from a kit. The support bracket can easily be added to the kit and is assembled in simple steps when assembling the swimming pool, similar to the other components.

In one embodiment it is provided that the support console can be attached to the outside of the pool wall of the swimming pool. In this embodiment, the support bracket is used in such a way that it is attached to the side of the pool wall facing away from the inside of the pool and the water in the swimming pool. The support console can be attached to the outside of the pool wall by arranging its fastening connection on the side of the base body. In this way, the mounted support console directs forces and moments, which are introduced into the support console via an element attached to the support connection, further into the pool wall. By arranging the support bracket on the outside of the pool wall, the use of the swimming pool is not impaired. Appropriate mounting interfaces for attaching the fastening connection can be provided on the outside of the pool wall.

The object of the invention is achieved by a swimming pool according to the appended claims, consisting of a pool floor and pool walls extending upwards thereon, with at least one pool wall on the outside of the swimming pool carrying a support console, in particular according to one of the previously described embodiments, whereby the Support console is connected to the pool wall via its fastening connection. The swimming pool according to the invention comprises at least one support console according to one of the previously described embodiments. Furthermore, the swimming pool comprises a pool floor, which is applied to a subsurface or floor arranged under the swimming pool, as well as a plurality of pool walls extending upwards from the pool floor. The pool floor and the pool walls together enclose a pool interior, into which after completion of the
Swimming pool water is filled. The support console is arranged on an outside of a pool wall facing away from the interior of the pool and is therefore located outside the interior of the pool. The swimming pool according to the invention easily provides a base for arranging additional elements or assemblies near or on the edge of the swimming pool. The pool walls and the pool floor can be designed differently in a swimming pool according to the invention. Different in this context means that they can be made of different materials, such as concrete, metal or plastic. In addition, a swimming pool according to the invention can also have different shapes and For example, it can be classic rectangular or round, oval or a mixture of these shapes. The swimming pool according to the invention comprises, with the support connection of the support console, a base which can be used to attach an element, for example a holder for a cover of the swimming pool. The swimming pool according to the invention can be easily constructed as a combination of pool floor, pool walls and support console. Please refer to the effects and advantages that were previously described in connection with the support console. A swimming pool according to the invention has the particular advantage that no additional or extended foundation has to be provided for the attachment of an element. As a result, the swimming pool according to the invention is simple to construct and can be erected quickly.

In one embodiment of the swimming pool it is provided that the pool wall, which supports the support bracket, consists of metal, metal elements, masonry, concrete or glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The swimming pool according to the invention with the support console can have pool walls made of different materials. Depending on the choice of material, the pool wall that supports the support console can be designed differently and in particular have a different thickness. The swimming pool can, for example, have a pool shell cast from concrete, which includes the pool floor and the pool walls. Alternatively, the swimming pool can also be composed of several individual parts, for example made of metal. The support console can be easily adapted to the different embodiments of the pool wall and can be combined with different embodiments of pool walls.

It is advantageously provided that the pool wall is formed from a plurality of flat wall elements which are connected on the outside, facing away from the interior of the pool, by at least one retaining strip. In this embodiment of the swimming pool, the pool wall is constructed from a plurality of components. This embodiment can be built particularly well using a kit. The advantage of this embodiment is that
The individual components of the swimming pool have small dimensions and a low weight so that they can be easily transported. The components are assembled at the point where the swimming pool is to be built. The components are preferably designed in such a way that they can be assembled by untrained personnel without any special specialist knowledge. In this way, the swimming pool can be built cost-effectively and without the need for special machines and specialist personnel. In such an embodiment of the swimming pool, the pool wall is formed by a plurality of flat wall elements, which are attached to at least one retaining strip adjacent to one another. The retaining strip positions and fixes the wall elements. The entirety of the wall elements results in a statically stable pool wall, which as a whole has significantly larger dimensions than the wall elements. The retaining strip is arranged on the outside of the pool wall facing away from the inside of the pool. Several retaining strips can be provided, which are preferably spaced apart and arranged parallel to one another. In one embodiment, the at least one retaining strip is horizontal in the installed position and the majority of the surface wall elements are oriented at right angles to the retaining strip.

Furthermore, it is provided that in order to absorb horizontal forces, support elements are provided on the outside of the swimming pool, which statically cooperate with the at least one retaining strip. The support elements are preferably connected directly to the at least one retaining strip. In the installed position, the support elements are oriented vertically with their largest dimension and thus cross the at least one horizontally oriented retaining bar. The support elements carry the retaining bar and absorb forces, which are first transferred to the wall elements and then to the retaining bar by the water pressure inside the pool. The support elements, in turn, are attached to the subsurface, which is located below the swimming pool, using suitable components, such as support strips. Support elements lying opposite each other on the swimming pool are preferably connected to one another via struts, whereby the position of these support elements relative to one another is determined and fixed. The support elements interact statically with the retaining bar by absorbing and dissipating forces applied to the retaining bar.

It is cleverly provided that the at least one retaining strip carries the support console. In this embodiment, the support console is attached to one or more retaining strips via its fastening connection. The retaining bar is designed to absorb and transfer loads resulting from the water pressure inside the pool. For this reason, the holding strip is designed to be stable and, in particular, rigid, making the holding strip a suitable place for attaching the support console. From an element via the support connection in
Loads introduced by the support console can be safely picked up and forwarded by the retaining bar become. The support bracket is preferably connected to more than one retaining strip via the fastening connection. Such a connection at several mutually distant locations increases the stability of the connection between the support console and the pool wall. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible for the support bracket to be attached to another component of the pool wall, for example to a support element or a wall element.

Advantageously, it is provided that the at least one retaining strip has a connection counter element which interacts, in particular statically, with the fastening connection of the support console. Such a connection counter element represents a component which is mechanically arranged between the retaining strip and the fastening connection. The connection counter element is connected to the retaining strip via a first interface and to the fastening connection via a second interface. The connection counter element is arranged between the fastening connection and the retaining strip, so that the flow of force, which arises from loads on the support console, is guided through the connection counter element. The connecting counter element makes it easier to attach the support bracket to the retaining strip. The connecting counter element is preferably connected to the retaining strip and the support console via screw connections. The connecting counter element can be designed, for example, by a strip with a U-shaped cross section, with the two legs of the U being pushed over the retaining strip during assembly. In addition to simplifying the assembly of the support bracket on the retaining strip, the connecting counter element also serves as a local reinforcement of the connection point between the support bracket and the retaining strip. The intermediate connection counter element increases the effective wall thicknesses at the connection point, which enables the transmission of greater forces and moments. The connection counter element can be made of metal, for example, and can then also be referred to as a mounting plate or fastening plate.

In one embodiment it is provided that the connection counter element is arranged between the fastening connection and the retaining strip, wherein the connection counter element has a first interface that is connected to the retaining strip, and the connection counter element has a second interface that is connected to the fastening connection, wherein the Connection counter element surrounds the retaining strip in some areas. In this embodiment, some of the previously described features are combined with each other. The connection counter element comprises a first interface for connection to the retaining strip and a second interface for connection to the fastening connection of the support console. Forces and moments that are transmitted from the support bracket to the retaining strip and vice versa are conducted through the connecting counter element. In an alternative embodiment, it can also be provided that the retaining strip partially surrounds the connecting counter element. In both embodiments there is a positive fit in some areas between the connecting counter element and the retaining strip.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the support console is suspended on the pool wall in such a way that the support console is spaced from the floor. In this embodiment, the support bracket extends vertically in the direction of its height in the installed position. The height of the support bracket is less than the height of the pool wall at the attachment point. The lower end of the support bracket is spaced from the floor adjacent to the pool wall. The distance between the lower end of the support bracket and the floor can be used, for example, to lay installation elements such as pipes. In this case, the attachment of the support bracket does not hinder the installation of these installation elements. Furthermore, the described embodiment is advantageous when retrofitting a support console on an existing swimming pool. Due to the shorter length of the support console, only a hole or an excavation with a shallower depth than the pool wall needs to be dug adjacent to the pool wall. It is of course also possible for the height of the support bracket to essentially correspond to the height of the pool wall and for the lower end of the support bracket to be flush with the lower end of the pool wall.

Furthermore, it is conveniently provided that in the installed position the base plate is arranged under the upper edge of the wall elements. In this embodiment there is a distance between the upper edge of the base plate in the installed position and the upper edge of the wall elements. This distance is preferably a few centimeters and is, for example, in a range between 1 and 15 centimeters. The upward-facing surface of the base plate is therefore set back from the upper edge of the pool wall. On the one hand, this means that a portion of an element that is attached to the base plate is also arranged below the edge of the pool wall or is flush with it. Such a partial area can be, for example, a screw-on plate of the element. In this embodiment, the screw-on plate does not protrude upwards over the pool wall. This means there is no injury Danger of danger for people who use the finished swimming pool. On the other hand, this embodiment enables the application of an end surface to the base plate or to a screw-on plate of an element. Such an end surface can be, for example, tiles or a metal strip, which is arranged in a visually appealing manner as a tread surface on the edge of the pool. In this embodiment, such a step surface can be laid over the base plate so that the support console is no longer visible when the swimming pool is fully assembled. Of course, it is also possible for the base plate to be flush with the upper edge of the pool wall in the installed position or to protrude above it.

In a further embodiment it is provided that two support consoles are arranged on the swimming pool, on opposite pool walls, in particular on the side edge of the swimming pool. In this embodiment, two support consoles are provided on the swimming pool, which can be used together as a base for holding an assembly. Alternatively, the two support brackets can also be used independently of each other to hold an element. It is also possible to arrange more than two support consoles on a swimming pool. These support brackets can serve as a basis for attaching different elements. For example, one support bracket can be used to attach a shower pipe, another support bracket can be used to attach a lighting device and another support bracket can be used to attach a holder for a cover for the swimming pool. The support console is flexible in use and can also be used for elements other than those described.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the support connections of two support consoles opposite one another on the swimming pool jointly carry an element of the swimming pool, for example the holder or roller for a cover of the swimming pool. In this embodiment, two support brackets are arranged opposite each other on opposite pool walls. This makes it possible for the two support brackets to be used as a basis for a common element or a common assembly of the swimming pool. For example, the roller for covering the swimming pool can be supported at two opposite ends by a holder each, which is attached to a support bracket. Two support brackets arranged opposite each other on the pool make it possible to attach two holders opposite one another. These opposite holders can together hold a roll for a cover, the width of which corresponds to the width of the swimming pool. Such a cover is suitable for covering the entire surface of the swimming pool. In this embodiment, the two holders each have a bearing. The bearings of the two opposing brackets are oriented so that they are aligned with each other, allowing the inclusion of a straight axis or shaft of the cover roller.

Cleverly, it is provided that the support connection of the support console is intended to carry an element, such as the receptacle for a holder or roller of a cover for the swimming pool, a fitting or a shower pipe, for which purpose the element in particular has a screw-on plate. In this embodiment, the support connection is intended for connection to an element which forms a component or an assembly which indirectly belongs to the swimming pool. As described in the previous embodiment, such an element can be, for example, a holder for the roller or a cover for the swimming pool. Alternatively, the element can also be a fitting which has a bracing element and optionally allows the flow of water into or out of the swimming pool. Furthermore, the element can be a shower pipe, which is used to form a surge shower, the water jet of which is directed towards the interior of the swimming pool. All of these elements do not belong directly to the actual swimming pool, which holds the water, but are assemblies that indirectly expand the functionality of the swimming pool. In order to enable a simple connection of an element to the support connection and in particular the base plate of the support console, the element can have a screw-on plate, which is matched in size and shape to a connection with the support connection. This screw-on plate simplifies the attachment of the element. The connection between the screw-on plate and the support connection can be made, for example, by screw connections. Alternatively, however, other connection techniques are also possible, such as a plug-in connection or a welded connection.

1a shows a perspective view of a portion of a swimming pool 9 according to the invention, which is under construction. The swimming pool 9 shown is shown in a state in which it is assembled from individual parts. In 1a a portion of the swimming pool 9 can be seen, on which the basic structure of the swimming pool 9 can be seen. The swimming pool 9 continues to the rear right; the components arranged there are not shown for the sake of clarity. The swimming pool 9 shown is a swimming pool 9 that can be assembled from several, lightweight individual parts. Such a swimming pool can be built, for example, from a kit. The advantage of this variant of swimming pools is that they can be set up without specialist knowledge and without the need for heavy and expensive machines. This variant of a swimming pool 9 is suitable, for example, for private households in which a swimming pool 9 is to be created easily and inexpensively. Before the swimming pool 9 is constructed, a pit is preferably dug in the ground to accommodate the swimming pool 9. The bottom of this pit is leveled after excavation so that a flat floor is created as a basis for building the swimming pool 9. In this variant of swimming pool 9, it is not necessary for a solid foundation, for example in the form of a concrete slab, to be provided. The bottom of the pit can be formed by leveled gravel or sand. First, several support strips 73 were placed on the floor of the pit. These support strips 73 form the basis for the other components of the swimming pool 9th In 1a A total of three such support strips 73 can be seen outside the actual swimming pool 9. Additional support strips 73 can be provided inside the swimming pool. Support elements 72 are inserted into the externally arranged support strips 73, which are L-shaped here. These support elements 72 serve to absorb horizontal forces which are exerted on the outside of the swimming pool 9 by the water in the swimming pool 9. In the fully assembled state, a portion of the support elements 72 is located between the bottom of the pit and the pool floor of the swimming pool 9. In the illustrated state, three support elements 72 can be seen. During further construction of the swimming pool 9, further support elements 72 are mounted on corresponding support strips 73. The vertically upward-facing portions of the L-shaped support elements 72 are connected to one another by a plurality of retaining strips 71, 71a to 71c. These holding strips 71 fix the support elements 72 with one another and at the same time serve as elements to which the pool walls 7 are attached. In the embodiment shown, the holding strips 71 are formed by metal profiles with a U-shaped cross section. In this way, the holding strips 71 are light in weight and yet are rigid in order to be able to absorb the pressure generated by the water in the swimming pool 9. The assembly of the support elements 72 with the support strips 73 and the assembly of the holding strips 71 on the support elements 72 can be carried out in a simple manner without special tools. The holding strips 71 are connected to one another at their front ends, which is shown in detail, for example 1b you can see. When the swimming pool 9 is fully assembled, the holding strips 71 together form a self-contained enclosure of the swimming pool 9, which absorbs pressure forces arising from the water in the swimming pool 9. The retaining strips 71 interact statically with the support elements 72 in the fully assembled state of the swimming pool 9. The pool walls 7 of the swimming pool 9 are formed by a plurality of wall elements 70, which are connected to the retaining strips 71. The basin interior 90 is located on the side of the wall elements 70 facing away from the retaining strips 71. Each wall element 70 has a U-shaped cross section, with the legs of the U facing away from the basin interior 90 and being connected to the retaining strips 71. A pool wall 7 is gradually built up by arranging several wall elements 70 on the retaining strips 71. This construction of the pool wall 7 can also be easily carried out by one person without the help of special tools and machines. The wall element 70 is formed by sheet metal parts, whereby the pool wall essentially consists of metal. Alternatively, the wall elements 70 can also consist of a plastic or a fiber-reinforced plastic. In the state shown, not all wall elements 70 are attached to the retaining strips 71. In the back left corner there are still partial areas in which no wall elements 70 are arranged. Starting from the state shown, further wall elements 70 are arranged in these areas until the pool wall 7 is closed in this corner. After the pool wall 7 has been constructed, a pool floor is inserted into the swimming pool 9 in a suitable manner. This pool floor is preferably formed by floor elements, which can be designed similarly to the wall element 70. After the pelvic floor has been inserted, the pelvic interior 90 is then delimited at the bottom and sides by flat surfaces. Finally, a sealing film is placed on the pool floor and on the inside of the pool walls 7 facing the pool interior 90, which seals the pool interior 90 from the environment. After this construction has been completed, soil or other filling material can be filled on the outside of the swimming pool 9 facing away from the pool interior 90 and the pit can thus be closed up to the edge of the pool 7. The swimming pool 9 is then ready for water to be filled into the interior of the pool 90. The previously described structure of the swimming pool 9 can of course also be modified, and the individual components of the swimming pool 9 can also be designed differently from the embodiment shown.

At the swimming pool 9 in 1a Two support brackets 1 are arranged in the illustrated partial area, which are located adjacent to the illustrated corners of the swimming pool 9. These support brackets 1 are each connected to several retaining strips 71 of the pool wall 7 via their fastening connections 4. Each support console 1 is thus arranged on the outside on a pool wall 7. In the embodiment shown, the support connection 3 of each support bracket 1 is connected to a screw-on plate 50 of an element 5 to be supported. The element 5 to be supported is thus attached and fastened in the installed position on top of the support brackets 1. In the embodiment shown, the element 5 to be supported is a holder for a cover of the swimming pool that has not yet been installed and is therefore not shown. A cover is preferably provided for a swimming pool 9, which can be closed over the surface of the water inside the pool 90 if necessary. Such a cover, which covers the swimming pool 9 from above, can, for example, reduce the cooling of the water in the swimming pool 9 when the swimming pool 9 is not in use. In addition, such a cover ensures that no unwanted objects, such as leaves or other debris, fall into the water when the swimming pool is not in use. Such covers are preferably designed as horizontally oriented blinds or as horizontally oriented foil. The cover is usually rolled up on a roll when not in use, which essentially corresponds to the width of the swimming pool 9. This roller for rolling up the cover then extends between two opposite pool walls 7. The roller is rotatably mounted on these opposite sides of the swimming pool 9 by a holder. The elements 5 in the illustrated embodiment are just such a holder, each of which is attached to a support bracket 1. To accommodate the roller for the cover of the swimming pool 9, each holder has a bearing L, of which in 1a only the bearing L of the bracket located at the rear left or the element 5 located at the rear left can be seen. The element 5 arranged at the front right has an identical bearing L, which is aligned opposite the bearing L of the element 5 arranged at the rear left. After assembling the swimming pool 9, a roller with a cover can then be rotatably inserted into the two bearings L. In this state, the roller with the cover extends between the two elements 5, above the upper edge of the pool wall 7 and parallel to the pool wall 7 located at the front left. Of course, it is also possible to have a differently designed element on the support connection 3 of a support console 1 5 to arrange. An alternative embodiment is, for example, in 2 shown. Details on the structure and function of the support console 1 are in 3 shown and described. In the in 1a shown version In an approximate shape, a screw-on plate 50 of the element 5 forms the connection interface of the element 5 with the support console 1. This screw-on plate 50 is connected to the base plate 30 of the support console 1 by three screw connections. The screw connections are guided through an opening in the screw-on plate and through a receiving opening 302 in the base plate 30. In this way, an element 5 can be connected easily and quickly to the support connection 3 of the support console 1. The screw connections arranged between the two components enable a certain tolerance compensation, which is beneficial when adjusting the position and alignment of the two bearings L to one another. In this way, the roller to be carried for the cover of the swimming pool 9 can also be easily connected to the elements 5 designed as holders. In the illustrated embodiment, the support connections 3 of the two support brackets 1 arranged opposite each other on the swimming pool 9 thus carry a role for covering the swimming pool after the swimming pool 9 has been completely assembled. In the embodiment shown, the height of each support bracket 1 extends essentially over the entire height of the pool wall 7, to which the support bracket 1 is attached. Only the base plate 30 of each support bracket 1 is arranged under the upper edge of the wall elements 70 in the installed position shown. In this way, the base plate and the associated screw plate 50 of the element 5 can be covered with other objects after assembly, so that they are no longer visible when the swimming pool 9 is used. For example, tiles or panels can be laid above the base plate 30 and screw-on plate 50, so that only the part of the element 5, which forms the holder for the cover and protrudes upwards, can be seen. In the embodiment shown, the lower edge of each support bracket 1 is flush with the lower edge of the respective pool wall 7. This makes it easier to initially position the support bracket 1 before it is connected to the outside of the pool wall 7. Alternatively, however, it can also be provided that the lower edge of the support bracket 1 is spaced from the lower edge of the pool wall 7 and thus from the bottom of the pit below the swimming pool 9 . Such an embodiment is advantageous if installation devices, such as pipes or hoses, are to be laid along the lower edge of the pool wall 7. Because in the embodiment shown the height of the support bracket 1 is only slightly smaller than the height of the pool wall 7, the support bracket 1 can be connected in the vertical direction at several points, in particular with several retaining strips 71. In this way, a very stable, rigid connection is created between each support bracket 1 and a pool wall 7. Of course, it is also possible to make the height of the support bracket 1 smaller, for example so that the height of the support bracket 1 is only half the height of the pool wall 7 corresponds. Such an embodiment can be provided, for example, for attaching elements 5 which generate only small loads on the support console 1. The support console 1 is connected to several retaining strips 71 via its fastening connection 4 or via its fastening connections 4. In the illustrated embodiment, this connection further comprises a connection counter element 6, which is arranged between a fastening connection 4 and a retaining strip 71. Details about this attachment are in 1b to see which represents a detail which is in 1a is provided with the reference symbol IB. Also those in the representation in 1a The support bracket 1 shown is connected to a total of three retaining strips 71 with the interposition of a connecting counter element 6. The support bracket 1, connection counter element 6 and the retaining strips 71 are designed in such a way that the support bracket 1 can also be arranged in a different position relative to the retaining strip 71 in a simple manner.

1b shows a perspective view of a detail 1a . In 1b is the one with the reference symbol IB in 1a marked detail shown enlarged. You can see a corner connection between two retaining strips 71, 71a. Furthermore, a connecting counter element 6 can be seen, which forms the link between the holding strip 71, 71a and the support bracket 1, which is only partially shown. The assembly shown can also be provided in the same way on the other holding strips 71, which are arranged below the holding strips 71, 71a shown. A correspondingly mirrored assembly can also be found in the connection area between the in 1a Support bracket 1 shown at the front right and the retaining strips 71 of the corresponding pool wall 7.

The retaining strips 71 in 1a The pelvic wall 7 oriented towards the front left and the pelvic wall 7 oriented towards the left rear are connected to one another at right angles on their adjacent end faces by the corner elements 711. The corner element 711 is an angle which has two legs that are oriented at right angles to one another. The corner element 711, like the retaining strips 71, also has a U-shape
Cross section. The external distance between the two legs of the U in the corner element 711 is smaller than the internal distance between the two legs of the U in the holding strips 71. In this way, the corner element 711 can be inserted between the two legs of the U of the holding strips 71. Already because of this A positive connection is created between one retaining strip 71 and the corner element 711. This positive connection facilitates the assembly and connection of the two retaining strips 71 at right angles. In addition, one leg of the corner element 711 and a retaining strip of the 71 are connected to one another in a positive and non-positive manner via two pin connections and a screw connection arranged between them. Through these connections, one end of a retaining strip 71 is firmly connected to one leg of the corner element 711. For this purpose, the two pins are inserted through appropriately provided openings in the retaining strips 71 and the corner element 711. In addition, the screw connection located in the middle is inserted and tightened. This connection is easy to produce using simple hand tools and is suitable for transmitting tensile and compressive forces acting in the retaining strips 71 into the corner elements 711 and vice versa. Such a corner element 711 is preferably also arranged at corners between pool walls 7 to which no support bracket 1 is attached. After establishing the corner connection using the corner element 711, the connecting counter element 6 is attached to the retaining strips 71,71a shown at the back. The connection counter element 6 also has a U-shaped cross section. The connection counter element 6 is designed to be linear or straight in the embodiment shown. Alternatively, it is also possible for the connecting counter element 6, analogous to the corner element 711, to have two legs which are oriented at right angles to one another. The inner distance between the legs of the U of the connecting counter element 6 is made larger than the outer distance between the two legs of the U of the holding strips 71. In this way, the connecting counter element 6 can be pushed onto the holding strip 71, with a positive connection between the two components in the vertical direction arises. This positive connection is in turn helpful when positioning the connection counter element 6 on the retaining strip 71 for the first time. In the plugged-on state described, the connection counter element 6 can be moved along the longitudinal direction of the retaining strips 71. This allows the relative position between the connection counter element 6 and the retaining strip 71 to be easily adjusted. The connection counter element 6 encloses the retaining strip 71 in areas. To fix the connection counter element 6 relative to the retaining strip 71, the same two pin connections and the same screw connections are provided, which are also used to connect the retaining strips 71 to the corner element 711. To fix the connecting counter element 6, two pin connections and one screw connection are guided through openings in the connecting counter element 6, in the retaining strips 71 and in the corner element 711. In this way, a stable positive and non-positive connection is created between all three components. The connection counter element 6 thus has a first interface 61 for connection to at least one retaining strip 71. Furthermore, the connection counter element 6 comprises at least one second interface 62, which is provided for connection to the fastening connection 4 of the support console 1. In the embodiment shown, this second interface 62 is formed by two openings in the middle part of the U-shaped connecting counter element 6 connecting the two legs. These two openings are arranged at a distance from one another in the middle part of the U-shaped connecting counter element 6, the direction of an imaginary connection between the two openings being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the connecting counter element 6. In the illustrated embodiment, the first interface 61 and the second interface 62 are arranged in opposite halves of the connection counter element 6, viewed in its longitudinal direction. The fastening connection 4 comprises two penetration openings 40, which have an identical position to one another as the two openings of the second interface 62. Such an embodiment is shown, for example, in 3 shown. As in 2 can be seen, the two penetration openings 40, through which the second interface 62 is connected to the support bracket 1, are arranged in the flange 28b. In the embodiment shown in 2a and 1b For the attachment of each track console 1 to a retaining strip 71 of a pool wall 7, two mutually spaced connecting counter elements 6 are provided. In an alternative embodiment, it is possible for a connecting mating element 6 to have two or more mutually spaced second interfaces 62 for connection to a portion of the fastening connection 4. The mechanically interposed connection counter elements 6 improve the stability of the connection between the retaining strip 71 or the pool wall 7 and the support console 1. The effective wall thickness of the common connection is increased by the connection counter elements 6, which enables the transmission of larger forces and moments in the connection area. Because the first interface 61 uses the same connecting elements that are also used to connect several holding strips 71 to one another, the number of parts required for the swimming pool 9 can be reduced. Through the connection via the connection counter element 6, the pool wall 7 and the support console 1 are connected to one another in such a way that the support console 1 is suspended on the pool wall 7 and thus the pool wall 7 carries the support console 1. Through an appropriately designed connecting counter element 6, differently shaped and sized support brackets 1 can be attached to a retaining strip 71 or a pool wall 7. To adapt to a different carrying console 1, only the shape and size of the second interface 62 needs to be adapted to the carrying console 1 if necessary. The first interface 61, which is coordinated with the connection to the retaining strips 71, does not have to be changed during this adjustment. This makes it possible to combine newly developed support consoles 1 in the usual way with existing or built-up swimming pools 9. This also makes it possible to easily retrofit a support console 1 with an element 5 arranged on it.

2 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a swimming pool 9 according to the invention, which is under construction. In 2 a part of a swimming pool 9 can be seen, which has not yet been fully constructed or assembled. The embodiment of the swimming pool 9 partly includes the same components as the embodiment in 1a and 1b includes. For these same components please refer to the description in addition 1a and 1b referred. Pool Base 9 in 2 form several support strips 73 which are applied to the floor. These support strips 73 are connected to a total of four support elements 72, which are as in the embodiment in 1a and 1b, L -shaped. The lower, horizontally oriented legs of these support elements 72 are connected to one another by rails when the support elements 72 are opposite one another. In this way, positioning of the opposing support elements 72 relative to one another is achieved. Furthermore, it can be seen that two support strips 73 aligned with one another are also connected to one another by a rail and are thus positioned relative to one another. The assembly, which is formed from support strips 73, support elements 72 and rails, defines the size and shape of the swimming pool 9 that is under construction. In the state shown, the swimming pool 9 already includes two pool walls 7, which are arranged opposite one another and parallel to one another. Each pool wall 7 comprises a plurality of wall elements 70 arranged in a row, each of which has a U-shaped cross section. For each pool wall 7, the wall elements 70 are connected to one another by a total of three retaining strips 71, 71a, 71b, 71c. For this purpose, the wall elements 70 are each connected to all three retaining strips 71 adjacent to one another. The three holding strips 71 of each pool wall 7 are each connected to two of the support elements 72. This basic structure corresponds to the embodiment shown in 1a is shown. The swimming pool 9 in 2 also includes a support console 1, which carries an element 5. The support console 1 is arranged on the outside of the pool wall 7, which points to the front right and faces away from the interior of the pool 90. This pool wall 7 carries the support console 1. In contrast to the one in 1a The embodiment shown is in the swimming pool 9 in 2 the support console 1 is arranged approximately in the middle of the front pool wall 7. However, the support bracket 1 can also be attached to a different position in the longitudinal direction on the back of the pool wall 7. The element 5 attached to the support connection 3 of the support console 1 is designed as a shower pipe. This shower pipe forms a gush shower from which water emerges in a gush when the swimming pool 9 is finished. Such a waterfall shower can be used, for example, to massage the head, neck and shoulders. To do this, a person who is in the water of the swimming pool can go under the waterfall shower and have a massage. The element 5, designed as a shower pipe, has a screw-on plate 50 at its lower end, which is connected to the base plate 30 of the support console by three screw connections. For details of the support console 1 see 3 and the associated description. Due to the fact that the base body 2 of the support console is designed like a frame, there is a cavity inside which can be used to lay the water connection for the shower pipe. In addition, it is possible to arrange further elements inside the base body 2, for example a pump. Also in the in 2 In the embodiment shown, the base plate 30 and also the screw-on plate 50 are arranged under the upper edge of the wall element 70 of the pool wall 7. In this way, the upward-facing surface of the screw-on plate 50 can be provided with an end surface, for example with tiles, which then ends flush with the upper edge of the pool wall 7. Of course it is also possible in the in 2 shown embodiment of a swimming pool 9 to provide several support consoles 1, which can be arranged at different locations on the pool walls 7.

These different support consoles 1 can carry different elements 5. For example, the two embodiments can 1a and 2 can be combined with each other and on a single swimming pool 9 have both two opposite support brackets 1 which have a holder for a cover and additionally have one or more support brackets 1 which carry shower pipes or differently designed fittings.

The connection between the support console 1 and the pool wall 7 is carried out in the same way as in 1a illustrated embodiment via the fastening connection 4 and one or more intermediate connection counter elements 6. For details on this connection please refer to the description 1b and 5b referred. In the in 2 In the embodiment shown, the support bracket 1 is also connected to the three retaining strips 71 in a total of three positions in the vertical direction via its fastening connection 4. If it is to be expected that the element 5 will introduce small loads into the support console 1, such a connection can also only be made at one or two positions in the vertical direction. At the in 1a and 2 In the examples shown, the support bracket 1 was already attached to the pool wall 7 during the construction of the swimming pool 9. Alternatively, it is also possible to retrofit one or more support brackets 1 to an existing swimming pool 9, for example to retrofit a cover for the swimming pool. In this case, only a small portion of the outside of the corresponding pool wall 7 needs to be excavated. It is then possible to attach a support bracket 1 there in a simple manner and then connect its support connection 3 to an element 5. The previously excavated area can then be refilled. Since the support bracket 1 can be firmly connected to the pool wall 7 at several points in the vertical direction even when retrofitting, a secure base for attaching an element 5 is also created when retrofitting with the support connection 3. Starting from the in 2 In the state shown, the swimming pool 9 then becomes analogous to the description 1a completed and the inside of the pool 90 filled with water.

3 shows a perspective view of a support console 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The support console 1 shown comprises three functional elements or assemblies: The supporting structure of the support console 1 is formed by the base body 2. On the side of the base body 2 that faces upwards in the illustration, the support connection 3 is attached, which represents a connection interface to one or more elements 5 which do not belong to the support console 1. For example, an element 5 formed by a holder can be fastened to the support connection 3, which is, for example, in 1a is shown. Finally, the support console 1 comprises, as a third functional element, a fastening connection 4, which in the illustrated embodiment is formed by a portion of the base body 2. The fastening connection 4 is arranged on a lateral region of the base body 2. The fastening connection 4 serves as a connection interface for fastening the support console 1 to an object or element that does not belong to the support console 1, such as the pool wall 7 of a swimming pool 9. In addition to these three functional elements, the support console 1 can of course also have other functional elements. In 3 the support console 1 is shown in the installed position. The installation position is to be understood as meaning the position in space that the support console 1 assumes after installation or attachment to an object, such as the pool wall 7 of a swimming pool 9. Usually, the support connection 3 is arranged in the vertical direction at the upper end or at the upper region of the base body 2 in the installed position. In the installed position, the fastening connection 4 is preferably arranged laterally on the base body 2, that is to say on one or more side surfaces of the base body 2, which is oriented in the horizontal direction.

The base body 2 is designed like a tower. This means that the height of the base body 2 is significantly greater than its width or depth. The height of the base body 2 is to be understood as the dimension which, in the illustration, runs vertically downwards from the support connection 3. Width and depth are to be understood as meaning the dimensions that the base body 2 has in a horizontally oriented sectional plane.

The ratio between the height of the base body 2 and its width or depth is at least 2. In the embodiment shown, the ratio between the height and the width is approximately 6. This tower-like design of the base body 2 gives the support console 1 an elongated shape and can This can be easily connected to another object, for example a pool wall 7 of a swimming pool 9, at several points along the height. This enables the support bracket 1 to be securely attached to the object in a stable manner. The base body 2 is also prismatic in the embodiment shown. This means that the base body 2 has a rectangular or polygonal cross-section in a sectional plane perpendicular to the height in the installed position, which corresponds to a horizontally extending sectional plane in the illustration. Such a prismatic design gives the base body 2 a high level of bending rigidity around several bending axes, which run perpendicular to the height of the base body 2. In this embodiment, the support bracket 1 is therefore particularly rigid in relation to loads which are introduced into the base body 2 via the support connection 2. The prismatic design results in a significantly higher bending stiffness around the bending axis perpendicular to the height than a design as a single rib. An embodiment is available under rib stand, which has a linear shape in a cross section perpendicular to the height and thus a linear cross section. In general, the base body 2 can theoretically also have a rib shape. However, such a shape of the base body 2 only makes sense if it is to be expected that the support connection 3 only introduces loads into the base body 2 which run in a direction parallel to the rib. In the in 3 In the embodiment shown, the base body 2 has a rectangular cross section in a sectional plane perpendicular to the height of the base body 2.

In the illustrated embodiment, the base body 2 comprises two side frame elements 21 and 22. These frame elements 21, 22 are connected to one another by two plate-shaped stiffening elements 20. This results in a frame-like shape of the base body 2. In the embodiment shown, each frame element 21, 22 is designed as a flat sheet metal part. The largest surfaces or surfaces of each frame element 21, 22 are oriented perpendicular to the support connection 3 and parallel to the height of the base body 2 in the illustrated embodiment. The largest surfaces of the frame elements 21, 22 are oriented parallel to one another and arranged at a distance from one another. In the largest areas of the frame elements 21, 22, several recesses A are made, which here have a rectangular shape. These recesses A reduce the weight of each frame element 21, 22 compared to a full-surface embodiment. However, the webs remaining between the recesses A ensure sufficient strength of the frame elements 21, 22. In the embodiment shown, the largest surfaces of each frame element 21, 22 have a rectangular outer contour in a top view. The frame element 22, which has its largest surface facing forward to the left, has two flanges 28a, 28b that are angled relative to the largest surface. The frame element 21, which has its largest surface facing backwards to the right, similarly has two flanges 29a and 29b that are angled relative to the largest surface. In the embodiment shown, the two frame elements 21 and 22 are constructed identically. Only the frame element 21 will be described in more detail below. Due to the identical structure, this description also applies to the frame element 22. The two flanges 28a and 28b of the frame element 22 are oriented at right angles to the largest surface of the frame element 22 in the illustrated embodiment. It is also conceivable that the flanges 28a and 28b are oriented at a different angle, for example at a 60° angle, to the largest surface of the frame element 22. In the embodiment shown, the two flanges 28a and 28b fulfill two functions in the base body 2. On the one hand, the flanges 28a and 28b cause an increase in the bending rigidity of the frame element 22 about bending axes which run parallel to the largest surface of the frame element 22 and parallel to the support connection 3. The stability of the base body 2 can be significantly increased by the flanges 28a and 28b oriented at an angle to the largest surface. In the embodiment shown, the frame element 22 has a low weight with high bending rigidity around several bending axes. On the other hand, the two flanges 28a and 28b serve to connect to the two stiffening elements 20 and to arrange the fastening connection 4 on the base body. The flanges 28a and 28b thus serve as connection interfaces within the base body 2 and as connection interfaces of the base body 2 or the support console 1 to other objects. The flanges 28a and 28b run along the direction of the height of the base body 2. Both flanges 28a and 28b are the same size in the illustrated embodiment and have the same shape. However, it is also possible for flanges 28a and 28b with different shapes and/or different sizes to be arranged on opposite sides of the largest surface of the frame element 22. In the illustrated embodiment, the two flanges 28a and 28b extend along the entire height of the frame element 22 or the base body 2. However, it is also possible for the flanges 28a and 28b to only extend along a portion of the height of the frame element 22. Particularly at the ends in the direction of the height of the frame element 22, where hardly any bending moments occur in the application, one or both of the flanges 28a and 28b can be omitted. Such omission of the flanges 28a and 28b may make sense in certain embodiments in order to be able to arrange further interfaces to other objects at these ends. In the embodiment shown, each frame element 21, 22 is formed by a single component. Alternatively, it is also possible to assemble a frame element 21, 22 from several components, in particular sheet metal components. Furthermore, it is possible for the flanges 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b to be formed by separate components, which are only connected to the frame element 21, 22 when the base body 2 is assembled. In this way it can be achieved that the individual components can be transported in a flat form to save space.

In the in 3 In the embodiment shown, the two frame elements 21, 22 are connected to one another by two identically designed stiffening elements 20. The two stiffening elements 20 are plate-shaped. This means that the length and width of the ver stiffening elements 20 is significantly larger than their thickness. In the embodiment shown, two stiffening elements 20 are provided, each of which is designed as a flat sheet metal part. However, it is also possible to arrange only one stiffening element 20 between the two frame elements 21, 22. In addition, the stiffening element 20 can also be shaped differently and, for example, be formed by a metal profile which connects the two frame elements 21, 22 to one another. More than two stiffening elements 20 can also be arranged at different positions along the height of the base body 2. Preferably, at least two stiffening elements 20, as in the embodiment shown, are arranged opposite one another on the base body 2. This results in a high stability of the base body 2 against bending moments about different bending axes. The stiffening element 20 has the task of connecting the two side frame elements 21, 22 to one another and aligning and fixing them to one another. In an alternative embodiment, it is also possible for one or more stiffening elements 20 to extend over the entire height or over a portion of 50% or 75% of the height of the base body 2. In the embodiment shown, the base plate 30 of the support connection 3 also acts as a connecting component between the two frame elements 21, 22. This base plate 30 thus supports the stiffening elements 20 in aligning and fixing the two frame elements 21, 22 to one another. In the illustrated embodiment, the base plate 30 connects the frame elements 21, 22 at the end pointing upwards in the illustration, whereas the two stiffening elements 20 connect the frame elements 21, 22 in the lower half of the height of the base body 2, the two frame elements 21, 22 with each other . In this way, the two frame elements 21, 22 are connected to one another along their height at two mutually spaced positions. As a result, a stable base body 2 is provided with a low weight of the components. The support element 3 with the base plate 30 will be described in more detail later. In the illustrated embodiment, each stiffening element 20 is connected to a flange 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b of a frame element 21, 22 via two screw connections. In this way, the base body 2 can be assembled easily and without the use of special tools on site at the construction site, even by untrained personnel. In the embodiment shown, each stiffening element 20 has a rectangular shape in a top view of its largest surface. It is also possible to connect each stiffening element 20 to the frame elements 21,2 2 in a different way. For example, this connection can also be made by a rivet connection or a welded connection. Alternatively, it would be possible to connect the components to one another using a plug connection. For this purpose, for example, protruding tongues can be arranged on the stiffening element 20, which are inserted into correspondingly complementary shaped slots in the flanges 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b for connection. Such a plug-in connection has the advantage that it can be easily made directly on the construction site without the use of tools. The slots, which are shaped to complement the tongues, can also be arranged multiple times and at a distance from one another over an area of the flanges 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b in the direction of the height of the base body 2. This makes it possible for the stiffening element 20 to be connected to the frame elements 21, 22 at different positions relative to the frame elements 21, 22. This enables individual design and adjustment of the shape of the base body 2 in a simple manner. This is advantageous, for example, if objects such as lines or hoses are to be laid inside the base body 2. The position of the stiffening elements 20 can then be varied so that it does not hinder the laying and receiving of these objects. In the embodiment shown, both the frame elements 21 and 22 as well as the stiffening elements 20 are made of sheet metal. Alternatively, it is also possible to produce all or some of these components or components from another material, for example plastic.

The side frame elements 21, 22 are connected in the upper area by a base plate 30 at their end pointing upwards in the installation position shown. On the one hand, this base plate 30 fixes the two frame elements 21, 22 to one another and thus acts in a similar way to the two stiffening elements 20. On the other hand, in the embodiment shown, the base plate 30 forms the support connection 3, which acts as a connection interface between the support bracket 1 and other elements 5, which are carried by the support console 1, serves. In the illustrated embodiment, the base plate 30 comprises a total of four fastening openings 301, which are arranged adjacent to opposite edges of the base plate 30. These fastening openings 301 serve to connect the base plate 30 to the frame elements 21, 22. The base plate 30 further comprises a plurality of connection openings 302. These connection openings 302 are used to establish a connection with an element 5, which is carried by the base plate 30 or the support connection 3 , intended. On the side of the base plate 30 facing towards the front right in the illustration, three connection openings 302 are provided, which are designed as slots or elongated holes. These three connection openings gen 302 can be used, for example, for the connection to a screw-on plate 50, which belongs to an element 5 to be connected to the support console 1. Such a screw-on plate is, for example, in 1a or in 6 to see. The connection between the screw-on plate 50 and the base plate 30 can be made by guiding screw connections through the connection openings 302 and corresponding openings in the screw-on plate 50 and thereby establishing a non-positive connection between the base plate 30 and the screw-on plate 50. In this case, the base plate 30 interacts with the screw-on plate 50 of an element 5 supporting the support bracket 1. The base plate 30 has a further connection opening 302 on its side facing towards the left in the illustration. This further connection opening 302 is larger than the slot-shaped connection openings 302 arranged on the side facing the front right. The larger connection opening 302 is also designed as an elongated hole, but the width of this elongated hole is significantly larger and is in the range of several centimeters. This larger connection opening 302 can be used, for example, to pass through a hose or a line. At the same time, this connection opening 302 can be used to connect to a correspondingly complementary shaped counterpart of an element 5. All connection openings 302 can be connected to an element 5 that does not belong to the support console 1. It is sufficient if at least one of these connection openings 302 is connected to the element 5. In order to prepare the support console 1 for a connection with several different elements 5, the base plate 30 can, as in the illustrated embodiment, have several differently designed connection openings 302. These differently designed connection openings 302 can be used to connect to different elements 5. An embodiment of such a base plate 30 can therefore be used for various applications. In addition to the connection openings 302, the base plate 30 or the support connection 3 can also have differently designed connecting elements for connection to an element 5. For example, projections or protruding pins can be arranged on the base plate 30, which can be used for the positive connection with an element 5. In general, the support connection 3 can have differently shaped and dimensioned partial areas, which are intended for a positive and/or non-positive connection with an element 5. In the embodiment shown, the base plate 30 is designed as a metal plate. In this way, the base plate 30 can be produced in a simple manner, for example by milling. The thickness of the base plate 30 is larger in the illustrated embodiment, in particular at least a factor of two larger than the thickness of the frame elements 21, 22. In this way, the base plate 30 is rigid and thus suitable for introducing forces and moments starting from an element 5 in the base body 2 of the support console 1 is suitable. The largest surfaces of the base plate 30, which in 3 facing upwards and downwards, are oriented perpendicular to the largest surfaces of the two side frame elements 21, 22. Laterally, i.e. in a direction perpendicular to the height of the base body 2, the base plate 30 protrudes slightly, that is in the range of a few centimeters or a few millimeters, beyond the side frame elements 21, 22 or their flanges 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b. However, it can also be provided that the base plate 30 is laterally flush with the frame elements 21, 22. In an alternative embodiment, a second base plate 30 can be arranged on the downward-facing end of the base body 2. For example, two identical base plates 30 oriented parallel to one another can be arranged at the top and bottom of the base body 2. In this way, the support bracket 1 can be mounted in different orientations. Furthermore, in this embodiment, an element 5 can also be attached to the lower end of the support bracket 1. When the height of the support bracket 1 is oriented horizontally in the installed position, the two base plates 30 are located opposite one another in the horizontal direction. In this state, two base plates 30 provided can each be used to connect to an element 5, these elements 5 then being spaced apart from one another in the horizontal direction.

The fastening connection 4 serves as a connection interface for fastening the support console 1 to an object or element that does not belong to the support console 1. The fastening connection 4 can be arranged on various components of the base body 2. In the embodiment shown, the fastening connection is arranged on the flanges 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b of the side frame elements 21, 22. In the illustrated embodiment, the fastening connection 4 is formed by penetration openings 40a to 40h, which are arranged in the flanges 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b. These penetration openings 40a to 40h are provided here for the insertion of screws with which the support element 1 can be fastened to another object, for example to the pool wall 7 of a swimming pool 9. In the illustrated embodiment, four penetration openings 40a to 40d and 40e to 40h are arranged in the flanges 28a and 29a facing to the front right, with two of these penetration openings 40 each are arranged in pairs adjacent to each other. In the same way, four penetration openings 40 are also arranged in the flanges 28b and 29 facing towards the left in the illustration. In the illustrated embodiment, the support bracket 1 thus has two fastening connections 4, which are arranged on opposite sides of the frame elements 21, 22. In this way, the support console 1 can optionally be connected to another object via two different fastening connections 4. The grid and the dimensions of the two fastening connections 4 are identical and opposite one another. As a result, the support bracket 1 can be attached to an object, not shown, located at the rear left, for example in the installation position shown. Alternatively, the support console 1 can also be rotated through 180° about an axis parallel to the height of the base body 2 and then connected to the side facing the front right in the illustration via the second fastening connection 4 to an object arranged at the rear left. As a result of this rotation, the support connection 3 with the base plate 30 is also rotated in its orientation by 180°, so that the position of the connection openings 302 changes. In this case, by rotating the support bracket 1, the shape and position of the support connection 3, which acts as a connection interface, can also be changed. In the embodiment shown, the penetration openings 40, which in each case belong to a fastening connection 4, do not necessarily all have to be used when connecting the support bracket 1 to an object. For example, it is also possible to use only part of the penetration openings 40 of a fastening connection 4 for connection. In addition, it is also possible to provide a larger or smaller number of penetration openings 40 per fastening connection 4. Furthermore, it is possible to arrange the fastening connection 4 or a portion thereof in or on a stiffening element 20. Alternatively, it is also possible to arrange the fastening connection 4 in the largest areas of the side frame elements 21, 22 instead of on or in the flanges 28. Additional components can also be used to arrange the fastening connection 4 on the base body. For example, L-shaped angles can be attached to the largest surfaces of the side frame elements 21, 22, which carry the fastening connection 4. The fastening connection 4 is also not limited to an embodiment as a penetration opening 40. The fastening connection can also be designed as a plug, clamp or screw connection. For example, the fastening connection 4 can be designed as a tongue projecting over the surface of the frame element 21, 22, which is inserted into the complementary shape opening provided there for connection to an object, for example the pool wall 7 of a swimming pool 9. In this way, a plug-in connection can be implemented. In addition, the fastening connection 4 can be designed as one or more clamping surfaces, which are clamped into a clamping device on another object. Such a fastening connection 4, designed as a clamping surface, is preferably designed to be reinforced, so that good force and torque transmission between the fastening connection 4 and the remaining areas of the support bracket 1 is ensured. Furthermore, it is possible for the fastening connection 4 to be formed by one or more pins or threaded bolts projecting beyond the base body 2, which are inserted into openings provided in this object to connect the support bracket 1 to an object. The support connection 3 is preferably arranged on a surface of the support console 1, which is arranged essentially at right angles to the surface of the support console 1, on or in which the fastening connection 4 is arranged.

4 shows a perspective view of the support console 1 3 when mounted on a swimming pool 9. In 4 is the one in 3 Support bracket 1 shown mounted on the corner of a swimming pool 9. The in 4 The state shown corresponds to a state that occurred during the construction of the swimming pool 9 before the in 1a shown condition occurs. In 4 the support console 1 has already been connected to the pool wall 7 via the fastening connection 4. In the in 4 In the state shown, however, no element 5 has yet been attached to the support connection 3. In 4 they are also in 1a shown pool walls 7, which form a corner here. The pool walls 7 consist of a plurality of flat wall elements 70, which are connected to one another via three retaining strips 71. Before attaching the support bracket 1 to the pool wall 7, a connecting counter element 6 was attached to all three retaining strips 71 of the right pool wall 7, which in 4 However, it is largely covered by the support console 1. The attachment of these connection counter elements 6 is in 5a and 5b shown and described. To fix the support bracket 1, several screw connections SR were attached between the fastening connection 4 and the connection counter element 6. The fastening connection 4 has a plurality of penetration openings 40 through which the screw connections SR are guided. Furthermore, the screw connections SR are guided through openings positioned in the same way in relation to one another in the second interface 62 of the connection counter element 6. Clamp the screw connections SR the fastening connection 4 and the connection counter element 6 together, so that a non-positive connection is created. Each connecting counter element 6 in turn is positively and non-positively connected to a retaining strip 71. Due to the frame-like structure of the base body 2 of the support bracket 1, the fastening connection 4 and the screw connections SR can be easily reached by hand through the frame elements 21, 22 and the stiffening elements 20 and can therefore be attached in a simple manner.

5a shows a perspective view of a portion of a swimming pool 9 with a connecting counter element 6 before the attachment of a support bracket 1. In 5a is the front right corner of the in 1a illustrated embodiment of a swimming pool 9 can be seen. In the in 5a In the state shown, however, no support bracket 1 is yet attached to this corner. 5a serves to explain the attachment of a connection counter element 6 before attaching the support bracket 1. In 5a The two pool walls 7 forming the corner can be seen, each of which includes three retaining strips 71, 71a, 71b, 71c. The top retaining bar 71, 71a and the bottom retaining bar 71, 71c are already connected to one another via a corner element 711. Details about this corner element 711 are too 1b described. The holding strips 71, 71b arranged in the middle are not yet connected by a corner element 711. This can be done later. However, it is also possible not to connect the holding strips 71, 71b to one another via a corner element 711, since the two connections above and below are sufficient for the static and dynamic stability of the swimming pool 9. In the in 5a In the state shown, a connecting counter element 6 was attached to the top holding bar 71, 71a and to the bottom holding bar 71, 71c, which is intended to form a connecting link between the holding bar 71 and the support console 1. The connecting counter element 6 has a U-shaped cross section and was placed onto the retaining strip 71 in such a way that the two legs of the U-shaped retaining strip 71 are located within the two legs of the U-shaped connecting counter element 6. The middle region arranged between the two legs of the U of the connecting counter element 6 is positioned on the side of the connecting counter element 6 facing away from the pool wall 7. In contrast, the middle area between the two legs of the U of the retaining strip 71 is oriented towards the pool wall 7 or the wall elements 70. In the area in which the connecting counter element 6 is plugged onto the retaining strips 71, the middle region of the connecting counter element 6 arranged between the legs of the U thus closes the open side of the retaining strip 71 pointing away from the wall elements 70. This makes it possible, at this point, where without the connection counter element 6 the open side of the retaining strip 71 would be present, interfaces for attaching the support console 1 to be arranged. In other words, the attachment of the connection counter element 6 causes a wall to be provided on the side of the retaining strips 71 facing away from the wall elements 70, which can be used to fasten the support bracket. At the same time, the connecting counter element 6 stabilizes the U-shaped retaining strip 71 in the area in which it is attached by, on the one hand, closing the open side of the retaining strips 71 and, on the other hand, increasing, in particular doubling, the wall thickness in the area of the two legs of the U . The attachment of the connection counter element 6 is very simple in the illustrated state of the swimming pool 9, which is currently being constructed. The connecting counter element 6 is plugged onto the desired section of the retaining strips 71 perpendicular to the pool wall 7 in a simple linear movement. Details about the VB area are in 5b shown.

5b shows a perspective view of a detail 5a . In 5b is the one with the reference symbol VB in 5a provided area shown enlarged. In 5b It can be clearly seen that the retaining strips 71 are partially located within the connection counter element 6. The two legs of the U-shaped connecting counter element 6 enclose the two legs of the U-shaped retaining strip 71. The connecting counter element 6 comprises a first interface 61, which serves to fix the connecting counter element 6 on the retaining strip 71. The first interface 61 is arranged in or on both legs of the U-shaped connecting counter element 6. In the embodiment shown, the first interface 61 is formed by three, in particular circular, openings in both legs. The openings lie opposite each other in both legs and are aligned with one another. The two outer openings are intended for the insertion of a pin, which is also guided through corresponding openings in the retaining strips 71. This creates a positive connection between the pins, the first interface 61 and the retaining strip 71. In the middle between the openings for the pins, a larger opening is arranged in the first interface 61, which is intended for the introduction of a screw connection. The retaining strip 71 also has a corresponding opening for inserting the screw connection. For non-positive fixation, a screw connection is guided through the first interface 61 and the retaining strips 71, as shown. Tightening the screw connection creates a clamping effect, which is free of play and fixes the connecting counter element 6 on the retaining strip 71. The hole pattern that forms the first interface 61 corresponds to a hole pattern that is provided on the retaining strip 71. The hole pattern on the holding strip 71 can be introduced during its manufacture. Alternatively, it is possible for the hole pattern to be introduced only during the assembly of the connection counter element 6, for example by drilling or punching. In the illustration on the left in front of the first interface 61 a recess 63 can be seen. This recess 63 is formed by a U-shaped recess in the two legs and causes a portion of a wall element 70 to be accommodated in the recess 63. In this way, the connecting counter element 6 can be pushed onto the retaining strip 71 without collision. A second interface 62 is arranged at the end of the connection counter element 6 facing towards the rear right in the illustration, which serves to connect to the fastening connection 4 of the support console 1. The second interface is arranged in the middle area between the two legs of the U-shaped connecting counter element 6. In the installation position shown, the second interface 62 is therefore located on the side of the connecting counter element 6 facing away from the wall element 70 or the pool wall 7. The second interface 62 is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a pair of openings, which have two penetration openings at a distance from one another 40 correspond, which belong to the fastening connection 4. To attach the support console 1 to the second interface 62, a portion of the fastening connection 4 is positioned to the second interface 62 so that two penetration openings 40 are aligned with the two openings in the second interface 62 shown. Screw connections SR are then guided through the openings in the second interface 62 and the fastening connection 4 and tightened. The assembled state, in which the pool wall 7 carries a support bracket 1, is in 4 to see. The connection counter element 6 in the illustrated embodiment has, on its side opposite the illustrated second interface 62, which is not shown in the detailed view, a further second interface 62, which is formed by two openings. This second interface 62 is identical in shape and size to the second interface 62 shown. In the embodiment shown, the fastening connection 4 can thus be connected to the connection counter element 6 at two different locations. For the connection between a retaining strip
71 and the fastening connection 4, only one connection counter element 6 is required. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide two or more connection counter-elements 6 on a retaining strip 71, with second interfaces 62 of different connection counter-elements 6 being connected to the fastening connection 4 of a support console 1.

6 shows a perspective view of a swimming pool 9. This 6 Swimming pool 9 shown differs from those in 1a and 2 illustrated embodiments in that the pool wall 7 is made of concrete or masonry.
