Description

  The present invention is directed to a facility that uses a pool in which no water remains due to drainage, or a pooled state due to some residue, for play or exercise.

  The swimming pools installed in schools and kindergartens are used for two months from the beginning of July to the beginning of September every year, and the remaining periods are usually not used.

  Such a situation has room for improvement in terms of facility use efficiency, and in the case of public facilities in particular, it must be a subject of consideration in terms of effective use of taxes.

  However, no basic configuration has been proposed for using the off-season pool as another exercise or play facility.

  Strictly, in Patent Document 1, a configuration is proposed in which a mat-like buoyant body is levitated above the water surface of a pool, and a waterproof sheet is covered on the upper side to be used as a game for enjoying floating.

  However, when using such a buoyant body, it is impossible to maintain a floating state when a large number of people use the buoyant body. When a moving human is concentrated on a part of the area and moves, the buoyant body tilts in water and cannot maintain a stable state.

  In patent document 2, the structure which extends the utilization period of a pool is proposed by installing the roof etc. which have the rectangular or circular opening part below the magnitude | size of a pool, and the side surface provided in the outer side of a pool side. Yes.

  However, in the case of the said structure, it is an extension of the utilization period as a normal pool for swimming to the last, Comprising: The structure of the facility for another exercise and a play is never proposed.

  In any case, for public pools during the off-season, the social significance of using it as a facility for exercise or play, and the objective necessity is extremely high, so it corresponds to the significance and necessity. It is inevitable to provide the configuration of the present invention.

JP 2004-232368 A JP 2000-310046 A

  This invention makes it a subject to provide the structure which can be used for exercise | movement or a game about the pool in off-season.

  In order to solve the above problems, the basic configuration of the present invention is that water does not remain due to drainage or a mat having cushioning properties is laid in the entire area or a partial area of the bottom of the pool that accumulates due to the residue. It consists of facilities for exercise or play.

  In the present invention according to the basic configuration, the user can use the pool space on the mat based on the relatively simple work of laying a mat having cushioning properties in the pool space during the off-season. It is possible to enjoy exercise and games in a stable state by using.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the present invention has a basic configuration in which a mat 2 having cushioning properties is laid in the entire region or a partial region of the bottom of the pool 1.
In FIG. 3 (b), the area indicated by the spots shows a state where water remains partially and is stored, but the thickness of the mat 2 is usually set higher than the remaining water surface.

  As a material of the mat 2 having cushioning properties, a spongy rubber material, an embodiment using a foamed plastic, a plurality of pipes made of a deformable plastic sheet 31 filled with air or water Alternatively, an embodiment characterized by employing a plurality of containers can be employed as a typical example.

  Among the embodiments, as the cushioning mat made of foamed plastic, urethane foam is extremely excellent in cushioning and wear resistance.

  In particular, when there is a need to prevent a slipping accident of the cushioning mat, a plastic raised sheet or plywood is preferably laid on the cushion material.

In order to safely reach the bottom of the pool 1 on which the mat 2 having cushioning properties is laid, a stair 21 made of a material having cushioning properties may be provided in contact with the wall of the pool side.
In particular, when the user is an elderly person and has difficulty in walking, it is also possible to use a lift that can move up and down for the stairs 21.

  In the following, description will be made in accordance with examples.

  When the season is off, most of the unused pool 1 is the outdoor pool 1.

  Corresponding to such a situation, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a sheet made of cloth, rubber, or plastic is disposed around and above the outside of the pool 1, and below the sheet. It is characterized in that a temporary roof is formed based on the air being blown and filled to the side and then the sheet being inflated upward.

That is, in Example 1, since the roof is simply adopted by inflating the waterproof sheet 31 to the upper side, the roof is removed immediately before encountering damage such as a typhoon, or the blower is stopped and waterproofed. By contracting and pressing down the sheet 31, it is possible to avoid the damage.
In addition, as a material of the waterproof sheet 31, plastic or cloth can be adopted.

  As the fixing of the waterproof sheet 31 around the pool, a simple structure is adopted in which a tube 4 is provided at the end, water is accommodated in the tube 4 and the end is not moved by the weight of the used water. This is convenient. Of course, it is possible to adopt an embodiment in which a steel material or stone is placed on the end of the waterproof sheet 31 instead of the tube 4 containing water.

  When injecting and filling air, especially in the winter season, it is possible to use and exercise in a comfortable pool by sending heated air, but heat dissipation by the temporary roof of the waterproof seat 31 is possible. In order to prevent this, it is advisable to cover the heat insulating material on the upper side or to laminate it or to hang it on the lower side.

  In the second embodiment, based on the same request as in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, after arranging a plurality of pipes 32 made of a deformable plastic sheet around and outside the pool 1, A feature of the present invention is that a temporary roof is provided by a plurality of pipes that are infused with air from the inlet and are curved upward.

  The temporary roof of the second embodiment automatically injects air into the pipe 32 constituted by a plastic sheet and fills it up automatically in order to maintain the expanded state due to the pipe shape based on the filling. From the outer periphery of the pool 1, as shown in FIG. 2, it has an arched shape and forms a temporary roof.

  Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it can be easily removed and damage such as a typhoon can be avoided.

  Furthermore, a tube 4 in a direction different from the direction of the pipe 32 is provided at the end (in many cases, actually orthogonal), and water is accommodated in the tube 4 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It is also possible to adopt a simple configuration in which the roof on the pipe is not moved due to the weight of the water.

  In the case of Example 2, as in Example 1, it is not necessary to inject and fill the entire lower space of the temporary roof, but when heating the space, As in the case, the heat insulating material may be covered or laminated on the upper side or suspended on the lower side.

  The basic configuration of the present invention is applicable to both the indoor pool 1 and the outdoor pool 1, and the configurations according to the first and second embodiments can be used particularly for the outdoor pool 1.

1 is a side sectional view showing a configuration of Example 1. FIG. It is a sectional side view explaining the structure of Example 2, Comprising: (a) has shown the state by which the injection | pouring and filling of air are not performed in the tube, (b) is a pipe shape by injection | pouring and filling of air. This shows a state in which a temporary roof is formed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a sectional side view which shows the basic form of this invention, (a) has shown the case where the mat | matte which has cushioning property was laid in the whole area | region of the bottom part, (b) has laid the said mat | matte in the partial area | region of the bottom part. Shows the case. It is side sectional drawing which shows embodiment at the time of providing the stairway by the material which has cushioning properties in the state which contact | connected the wall of the pool side.
