Description

The invention relates to a swimming pool, which forms a swimming pool interior that can be filled with water, with a raising and lowering swimming pool intermediate floor and with a pool ladder, according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art:

From the DE 10 2007 046 586 A1 Swimming pools with false bottom devices are known.

Swimming pools with ladders are also already known in the prior art, for example from EP 1 327 746 A1 . This ladder has the disadvantage that it only has a comfortable orientation for entry and exit if the false bottom of the swimming pool is at a certain height.

From the US 3,973,646 A A ladder for swimming pools that can be tilted about an axis is known. This also has the disadvantage that it takes up a lot of space when pivoting and is also difficult to handle, especially difficult to reach when it is folded up.

Task and advantages of the invention:

The object of the invention is, in contrast, to propose an alternative swimming pool which, on the one hand, enables comfortable and safe entry and exit, but on the other hand also enables a comfortable swimming process.

This task is based on a swimming pool of the type mentioned, solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Advantageous developments of the invention are mentioned in the dependent claims.

The invention is based on a swimming pool, which forms a swimming pool interior that can be filled with water, the pool interior being laterally delimited by a pool side wall. The pool wall can, for example, be designed as a circumferential wall. The pool wall can also be made up of several individual walls. The swimming pool also has a raised and lowered swimming pool intermediate floor, which limits the interior of the swimming pool at the bottom. The pool depth can be adjusted variably thanks to the raising and lowering function of the swimming pool intermediate floor.

The swimming pool according to the invention also has a pool edge niche, the pool edge niche being arranged on the pool side wall. The pool edge niche is designed as a recess of the pool side wall. For example, the pool edge niche is designed as a recess in the direction away from the pool interior. The pool edge niche is embedded in the wall and does not form an obstacle during swimming in the pool interior.

Furthermore, the swimming pool according to the invention has a pool ladder, the pool ladder comprising at least one, preferably at least two ladder steps. The pool ladder extends from the edge of the pool, i.e. from the upper end of the pool side wall, into the interior of the pool. The pool ladder is arranged within the pool edge niche. This ensures that the ladder does not protrude into the swimming pool or only protrudes slightly. Especially when the ladder, which is ideally designed to be pivotable, is pivoted away from the interior of the swimming pool so that a swimmer's freedom of movement is not restricted during the swimming process, especially in smaller pool dimensions. Advantageously, in one embodiment, the ladder can even be completely accommodated in the pool edge niche when it is pivoted towards the side wall and runs flush with the side wall.

The pool ladder is pivotally mounted about a substantially horizontal axis and/or about an axis running parallel to the intermediate pool floor and is therefore designed to be tiltable. This measure makes it possible to use the pool ladder as a staircase with a rise that is not perpendicular to the floor. In addition, as will be explained below, it is possible for the ladder to be pivoted about the horizontal axis when the intermediate pool floor is raised when it rests on the floor.

The swimming pool intermediate floor is designed in such a way that it can be raised and lowered to at least three different height ranges. The first level area is assigned to a greater basin depth than the second and third level areas. The second level area is in turn assigned to a greater basin depth than the third level area. A first level line describes the transition from the first height level range to the second height level range, and a second level line in turn describes the transition from the second height level range to the third height level range.

The core of the invention is seen in the fact that the pool ladder is designed in such a way that the intermediate pool floor comes into direct contact with the pool ladder when it is raised in the third height range, in particular exactly from the second level line.

The pool ladder is further designed in such a way that when the pool ladder comes into contact with the intermediate pool floor, it experiences a force from the intermediate pool floor in the direction transverse to the axis of rotation about which the pool ladder can be pivoted, so that the pool ladder is pivoted in a direction of rotation about the axis and the pool ladder closes a staircase. Since this pivoting of the pool ladder occurs automatically during a raising or lowering process of the floor, while the pool ladder mechanically engages the floor, the pool ladder can be used particularly comfortably. There is no need for complicated handling and the risk of injury is minimized because the swimmer does not have to swing the ladder or lift it out of the water themselves.

When the floor is raised or lowered, the stairs are pivoted in such a way that, in an embodiment variant of the invention, the individual steps of the pool ladder on the stairs are aligned with one another in a direction that is at an angle greater than 0° to the vertical and/or to the orientation of the pool ladder in the case of a pelvic floor that is inclined in the first height level range.

Accordingly, for example, the spar or spars of the pool ladder are pivoted together with the rungs in such a way that the rungs are no longer aligned vertically with one another, but rather are additionally offset from one another with a horizontal component. The ladder can be used as a kind of staircase with a finite gradient, making entry and exit easier and more comfortable for the user.

When the pelvic floor is lowered, the pelvic ladder lowers due to gravity, or more precisely: it is pivoted back in the opposite direction to the side wall because it moves behind it when the intermediate floor is lowered. At one point the contact of the pelvic ladder with the pelvic floor is completely released, namely at the transition from the third height level range to the second height level range, in particular exactly from the second level line. From then on, in this embodiment only the push rod is initially in contact with the intermediate floor.

Likewise, in one embodiment of the invention, the contact of the swimming pool intermediate floor with the push rod will break off when the swimming pool floor is lowered during the transition from the second height level range to the first height level range, in particular exactly from the first level line.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a push rod is pivotally arranged on the pool ladder in order to support the pool ladder on the swimming pool intermediate floor and/or on the pool side wall, the pool ladder and/or the push rod being/are designed in such a way that the swimming pool intermediate floor is in the second height range when raised , in particular exactly from the first level line, comes into contact with the push rod, the pool ladder being designed in such a way that when the swimming pool intermediate floor is raised in the second height level range, at the latest from the first level line, the push rod when in contact with the swimming pool intermediate floor exerts a force in the transverse direction to the axis, so that the pool ladder is pivoted in a direction of rotation around the axis and the pool ladder becomes a staircase. In addition to purely transmitting power, the push rod also functions as a guide for the ladder or stairs. The push rod creates a mechanical constraint so that the direction of rotation of the ladder or stairs is specified when the floor is raised.

If the ladder hung exactly vertically downwards and the floor were lifted along this orientation, the force that the floor in contact with the ladder exerts on it would be parallel to the longitudinal extent of the ladder and perpendicular to its pivot axis. This could lead to a blockage and possibly mechanical damage to the device. To prevent this, the push rod is aligned at an angle other than 0° to the ladder rail or at an angle other than 90° to the pool floor, especially if the floor is not yet in contact with the ladder. As soon as the ground hits the push rod, it can exert a force component perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the ladder, so that the ladder is pivoted.

It is also conceivable to design the pool ladder with more than one push rod, in particular with two push rods, each of which is articulated to the pool ladder. For example, a push rod can be arranged on one of the two bars of the pool ladder. In this way, for example, the force on the ladder due to the shear effect of the swimming pool floor can be evenly distributed across the bars. This prevents the pool ladder from tilting.

Advantageously, when folded against the side wall, the push rod can protrude further downwards towards the ground in the direction of gravity than the actual ladder, so that the push rod comes into contact with it first when lifting the intermediate pool floor. When the intermediate pool floor is raised, it first comes into contact with the push rod, so that it deflects the pool ladder in a predetermined direction before the intermediate pool floor also comes into contact with the pool ladder as the lifting continues.

Preferably, the pool ladder and/or the push rod is/are designed in such a way that when the swimming pool intermediate floor transitions from the second height level range to the third height level range, the already pivoted pool ladder comes into contact with the swimming pool intermediate floor at the level of the second level line and when the swimming pool intermediate floor is further raised, this exerts a force directly on the pelvic ladder and thus pivots the pelvic ladder further. The pool ladder is tilted relative to a substantially vertical position relative to the intermediate pool floor and placed with such an inclination relative to the intermediate pool floor that a user can get into or out of the pool more comfortably, since the angle of the pivoted pool ladder is less steep than the angle of the non-pivoted pelvic ladder.

Preferably, the pool ladder and/or the push rod is/are designed such that the swimming pool intermediate floor is in the first height range without contact with the pool ladder and/or without contact with the push rod. Due to gravity, the pool ladder hangs in a substantially vertical direction from the edge of the pool into the interior volume of the pool. With such an arrangement, the pool ladder protrudes less or not at all into the interior volume of the pool than it would in a pivoted form, so that it represents a significantly smaller obstacle for a swimmer to collide against.

For example, the pool ladder has at least one contact element for contacting the intermediate pool floor, the contact element being designed as at least one roller or as a slider. For example, the roller is designed to move the end of the pool ladder to be pivoted rolling over the intermediate pool floor. The pool ladder can be pivoted without damaging the pool floor, increasing the longevity of the pool. Other measures are also conceivable that enable the pelvic ladder to be moved with little friction along the pelvic floor, such as slide rails or rolling elements.

Preferably, in one embodiment, a railing with a handrail is present on the pool ladder, the railing having at least a first high strut and a second high strut, the first high strut and the second high strut each having an upper end and a lower end, the first high strut in the area of the upper end of the first high strut and the second high strut in the area of the upper end of the second high strut are each articulated to the handrail, the first high strut in the area of the lower end of the first high strut and the second high strut in the area of the lower end of the second high strut is each articulated to the ladder, wherein the lower end of the first high strut is arranged above the upper end of the second high strut in the non-pivoted state of the pool ladder. This makes it more difficult for the mechanics of the stairs, including the joints of the railing, to tilt and block when the stairs tilt.

The railing is arranged on the pool ladder in such a way that the handrail is spaced from the steps of the pool ladder when the stair ladder is pivoted, ideally in such a way that a user can support himself on it so that entry or exit into or out of the pool is possible more convenient, but also safer. For example, the high struts can be arranged so that they are always arranged vertically. It is conceivable that the handrail is always aligned parallel to the pool ladder. This can be achieved by cleverly arranging the individual high struts. The high struts can be arranged in such a way that when the pool ladder is not pivoted, they do not overlap in their vertical orientation, i.e. the distance between two high struts on the handrail is greater than the length of the high struts themselves. The tilting mechanism of the railing can thus be designed to save space .

Ideally, the railing is mounted on the pool ladder in such a way that when the pool ladder is pivoted, the railing is also pivoted together with the pool ladder, so that the distance between the ladder and the handrail is increased when pivoting in the direction of rotation. For example, if the pool ladder is not swiveled, the handrail can rest directly on the pool ladder, for example only by the dimensions of the maximum height vine is spaced apart, while the distance is significantly larger when the pool ladder is pivoted. Advantageously, the handrail is designed to be recessed into the pool edge niche when the pool ladder is not pivoted. The railing is preferably also designed in such a way that the railing is pivoted together with the pool ladder when pivoting, so that the distance between the ladder and the handrail is reduced when pivoting towards the side wall of the swimming pool.

For example, the first high strut is arranged in a fixed position. It is conceivable that the first high strut is independent of the pivoting movement of the pool ladder and is arranged in a fixed position, so that the handrail takes place around the articulated coupling of the handrail with the first high strut. This has the advantage that the handrail can be easily inserted into the pool edge niche when the pool ladder is not pivoted.

Preferably, the pool ladder and/or the railing can be completely retracted into the pool edge niche, in particular flush with the pool side wall, without the push rod coming into contact with the intermediate pool floor. If the niche volume is sufficiently large, the pool ladder is arranged completely in the niche volume and does not protrude into the remaining pool volume formed by the pool walls, so that a swimmer finds a free path in the pool into which no ladder or staircase parts protrude, i.e. without the pool ladder becoming an obstacle which the swimmer may collide with.

For easy entry and exit, the pool ladder has, for example, at least two steps, which are designed to also be pivoted with the pivoting movement of the pool ladder, so that when the pool ladder is fully deflected, it has horizontal steps as a staircase with essentially horizontally aligned tread surfaces. This has the significant advantage that the stairs always offer the user a good step and can be made significantly safer to use. For example, the steps are designed as rungs.

For example, the conductor steps are designed in cross section as circular sections, in particular as quarter circles. The straight sections of the circular sections are preferably arranged in the upper region of the step, in particular as a horizontal surface. On the one hand, such a design can offer the user a secure footing, and on the other hand, the gap dimensions between the individual steps can be maintained even with different degrees of deflection of the pelvic ladder so that the user does not run the risk of getting limbs such as toes between the steps.

For example, the push rod has a contact area for contact with the intermediate pool floor, the push rod being arranged so that the contact area between the ladder and the pool side wall comes into contact with the intermediate pool floor. If the push rod comes into contact with the intermediate pool floor and begins to tilt the pool ladder, with such a design the pool ladder is always tilted towards the interior volume of the pool and not towards the side of the pool wall on which the pool ladder is arranged.

It is conceivable that the contact area is designed as at least one roller or as a slider. The push rod can be pivoted without damaging the pool floor, increasing the longevity of the swimming pool. A sliding element of a rail system can also be understood as a sliding element.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the push rod has a catching element and the intermediate pool floor has a catching device, the catching element being at least partially receivable in the catching device, in particular if the pool ladder is not pivoted in the pool edge niche. In this way, the ladder can only be pivoted by moving the intermediate floor of the pool. Manual deflection of the pool ladder is made more difficult or prevented in order to increase safety, as the safety gear blocks manual movement of the ladder. For example, the risk of being crushed by the pool ladder can be reduced.

For example, the safety gear is arranged on the top of the intermediate pool floor. The safety gear can have an indentation or a hook-shaped section.

The catching element can in turn be designed, for example, in a bolt shape. For example, the catch element is attached to the spar of the pool ladder. It is also conceivable that the catching element is designed as a rod or eyelet.

It is conceivable that the catching device and the catching element are designed in such a way that the catching element couples to the catching device in the first height range of a swimming pool intermediate floor by being at least partially accommodated in the catching device, for example hooked, with the catching device and catching element being under the influence of force. The safety gear and safety element can be slightly under tension.

For example, the catching device and catching element are designed in such a way that the catching element is at least partially accommodated in the catching device in the area of the first level line in the case of a swimming pool intermediate floor, without the catching device and catching element being under the influence of force.

The catching device and the catching element are preferably designed in such a way that the catching element is released by the catching device when the pool ladder is pivoted in the direction of rotation in the second height range of a swimming pool floor: the catching element is then located outside the catching device.

When the pool ladder is pivoted against the direction of rotation, the catching element is located outside the safety gear in the second height range of a swimming pool intermediate floor, is guided into the safety gear in the area of the first level line and, in the first height range of a swimming pool intermediate floor, lies at least in sections within the safety gear and with the safety gear under light weight train forward.

The catch element therefore serves in particular to hold the ladder and secure it against manual pivoting when it hangs vertically downwards, i.e. when it is accommodated in the niche. If the floor moves up and the ladder is deflected by the force transmission via the push rod, the safety gear initially acts like a stop for the push rod and helps to transfer the force to the push rod. During the long course of movement and as the ground continues to rise, the catching element usually leaves the safety gear once the ground has reached a certain height.

Preferably, the push rod is always, in particular even without contact with the swimming pool intermediate floor, inclined in a direction that is not aligned perpendicular to the swimming pool intermediate floor and / or the lifting direction of the swimming pool intermediate floor, in particular inclined from the pool ladder towards the pool side wall, in particular the push rod through a stop, which is attached to the pool ladder, is stored in a non-vertical orientation even without contact with the intermediate pool floor in order to set a preferred direction for the pivoting movement. If the push rod comes into contact with the intermediate pool floor, the force acting on the push rod is converted into a movement of the push rod. If the push rod is aligned vertically to the intermediate floor of the swimming pool or the lifting direction, a blockage could occur and the push rod could be damaged. In addition to a stop, a corresponding shape of the push rod, for example an angled or rounded shape, could also ensure that the push rod is not aligned vertically.

If the pool ladder hangs downward without being pivoted and the push rod hangs downwards from the pool ladder so that the lower end of the push rod is closer to the intermediate pool floor than the pool ladder itself, the push rod comes into contact with the ground in front of the pool ladder when the intermediate pool floor is raised. If the push rod is oriented in such a way (e.g. inclined to the floor) that it does not block when the intermediate pool floor is raised (which could happen, for example, if it is arranged vertically to the floor), the pool ladder can also be aligned perpendicular to the intermediate pool floor even when not pivoted. This in turn allows the pool ladder to be recessed further into the pool edge niche and requires less space.

In a preferred embodiment, the swimming pool intermediate floor can be continuously moved in terms of its height in order to be able to set any swimming depth. This means that the swimming pool can be used more flexibly, e.g. as a training pool for competitive swimmers and as a non-swimmer pool.

An exemplary embodiment is explained in more detail using the following schematic drawings, giving further details and advantages:

• Show it:
  • 1 : a swimming pool according to the invention with a pool ladder in cross section,
  • 2 : the pelvic ladder according to 1 with railing and
  • 3 : a detailed view of an embodiment of the safety gear with safety element.

1 shows a swimming pool 1. The swimming pool 1 includes a circumferential pool side wall 3 and a (vertically movable) intermediate pool floor 2.

The pool side wall 3 limits the interior volume of the swimming pool to the side. On one side, the pool side wall 3 has a pool edge niche 7, which is designed as a recess of the pool wall 3. A pool ladder 4 is arranged on the pool edge niche 7 and can be pivoted about a horizontal axis 6 device is. A push rod 8 is movably mounted at the lower, pivotable end of the pool ladder 3. Compared to the swimming pool intermediate floor 2, the push rod 8 is aligned inclined towards the pool side wall 3, even if the actual pool ladder 4 is not pivoted and is completely accommodated by the pool edge niche 7. This can be achieved, for example, by a stop on the pool ladder 4, which prevents the push rod 8 from hanging vertically downwards due to gravity.

The swimming pool intermediate floor 2 limits the internal volume of the swimming pool downwards and can be raised and lowered to at least three different height ranges B1, B2, B3. The first height level range B1 lies below the second height level range B2 in the direction of gravity. The second height level range B2 lies below the third height level range B3 in the direction of gravity. The first height level range B1 is separated from the second height level range B2 by a first level line L1. The second height level range B2 is separated from the third height level range B3 by a second level line L2.

In the first height level range B1, the swimming pool intermediate floor 2 has no direct contact with the pool ladder 4 or the push rod 8. A greater depth of the pool 1, as occurs in the level range B1, is generally used for use as a swimmer's pool, in particular as a training pool, if necessary also for Competitive swimmers, used for competitions etc. Advantageously, the pool ladder 4 can therefore be completely accommodated in the pool edge niche 7 for this application and does not protrude into the actual swimming area, i.e. it does not have a disruptive effect and does not restrict the swimming area.

If the swimming pool intermediate floor 2 is raised, the swimming pool intermediate floor 2 comes into contact with the push rod 8 at the level of the first level line L1, even before contact with the pool ladder 4 can be made. Since the push rod 8 is tilted slightly in the direction of the pool side edge 3 closest to it, it cannot tilt in contact with the floor 2 and is tilted more and more in the direction of the pool side edge 3 closest to it as the floor 2 moves upwards. It pushes the pool ladder 4 in the opposite direction of inclination towards the opposite pool side wall 3.

If the intermediate pool floor 2 is raised further, the push rod 8 moves the pool ladder 4 so that it is tilted about the horizontal axis 6 in a direction of rotation D and the pool ladder 4 can be used as a staircase. The ladder steps, not shown, can be designed in such a way that the overhead tread surface of the ladder steps are always aligned horizontally both in the tilted and in the non-tilted state of the pool ladder 4.

If the swimming pool intermediate floor 2 is lifted further upwards, the swimming pool intermediate floor 2 comes into contact with the pool ladder 4 at the level of the level line L2 in addition to the push rod 8. From this level line L2, when a person steps on the stairs, they are next to their bearings on the axis of rotation 6 is supported at two (further) points, namely by the push rod 8 at its contact area 13 and the contact element 14 at the foot of the pool ladder 4, which increases stability. When the intermediate pool floor 2 is raised further into the third height range B3, the pool ladder 3 is also tilted further in the direction of rotation D.

When the intermediate pool floor 2 is lowered from the third height range B3, the pool ladder 4 is tilted against the direction of rotation D. This releases the contact from the intermediate pool floor 2 to the pool ladder 4 at the level of the second level line L2 and the contact from the intermediate pool floor 2 to the push rod 8 at the level of the first level line L1.

If the swimming pool intermediate floor 2 is in the first height level range B1, the pool ladder 4 is completely housed in the pool edge niche 7, so that a swimmer does not perceive the pool ladder 4 as an obstacle when swimming in the pool's inner volume.

2 shows the pool ladder 4 according to 1 with a railing 9. The railing 9 includes a handrail 10 and two high struts 11, 12, the high struts 11, 12 being articulated at their respective upper ends to the handrail 10 and at their respective lower ends to the pool ladder 4.

The railing 9 is connected to the pool ladder 4 in such a way that when the pool ladder 4 is tilted in the direction of rotation D, the railing 9 is tilted so that the distance between the handrail 10 and the pool ladder 4 increases.

In the present embodiment, the first high strut 11 is designed in such a way that it is independent of the pivoting movement of the pool ladder 4 and is arranged in a fixed position, so that the articulated coupling with the handrail 10 always exists in the same position and the handrail 10 is tilted about this coupling .

3 shows a detailed view of an embodiment of the catching device 16 and the catching element 15. This shows the situation in which the intermediate pool floor 2 is at the level of the first level line L1, the catching element 15 being at least partially received by the catching device 16, but the catching element and the catching device not be under force.

If the intermediate pool floor 2 is lowered and the pool ladder 4 is pivoted against the direction of rotation D, the catching element 15 remains in the safety device 16, but is lowered with the intermediate pool floor 2. This creates an increased force from the intermediate pool floor 2 on the catching element 15 and the catching device 16, so that they cannot be separated from each other manually.

If the intermediate pool floor 2 is lifted from the position shown and the pool ladder 4 is pivoted in the direction of rotation D, the catching element 15 is released from the catching device 16 at a height position of the intermediate pool floor 2 in the second height range B2, so that the catching element 15 is moved out of the catching device 16 and when the intermediate pool floor 2 is raised further, the pool ladder 4 can be pivoted further. If the intermediate pool floor 2 is then lowered to the position shown and the pool ladder 4 is pivoted accordingly against the direction of rotation D, the catching element 15 is guided back into the catching device 16 and at least partially picked up by it.
