Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention can be easily installed in the ocean, lake, river, or other places where the bottom is dangerous even if the distance is shallow, so that you can enjoy swimming and playing in the water safely. This invention relates to a temporary flotation pool that can be easily cleaned out after use.

(Prior Art) At present, the number of safe and clean natural leisure facilities at seashores and lakesides is drastically decreasing due to marine pollution, water pollution from factories and domestic wastewater, etc.

For this reason, floating pools have been proposed that have a relatively simple configuration and can be movably floated on a clean sea surface.

This thing consists of several hollow bodies connected in sequence,
The upper surface of the hollow body is the pool side. (Refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 50-45432) (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned floating pool is a structure in which a large number of hollow bodies are framed in a rectangular shape, and an open water surface is formed in the center of the floating pool. When formed into a large size and enjoyed swimming in the sea with a large number of people, the buoyancy of the hollow body allows it to float on the water surface.
The flat floor has the characteristic of becoming a large poolside, but it can be made into a small size that is easy to transport and assemble, and when enjoyed by a family or small group, it can be used to stand on the flat floor instead of the poolside, or to stand on the open water surface. If you step on the bottom of the partition frame, the thin L-shaped hollow body will not provide sufficient buoyancy, and the flat floor will sink to the water surface unless the connecting parts of the hollow body are formed to be firmly connected. If a person resting on top of this falls onto the water surface, or if his or her feet touch the bottom of the partition frame, the bottom will bend and drop due to the weight, causing the water level to change and the person's back to rise. There was a risk of drowning due to the inability to stand.

In addition, since the hollow bodies are connected by interlocking the unevenness on the end face, the shape of the pool formed by assembling the hollow bodies is uniform, and in today's world where diversification is preferred, it is difficult to It is difficult to harmonize with nature and is not suitable for resorts.

It had various problems such as.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can be easily installed in the ocean, lake, river, or other places where the bottom is dangerous even if the distance is shallow, so that you can safely enjoy swimming and playing in the water. The purpose is to provide a temporary flotation pool that can be easily cleared once the water has cleared.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The means of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned objects is as follows: In a temporary floating pool in which a large number of floating bodies are joined in an endless manner to form a pool of a predetermined frame, the upper part is above the water surface. A frame member comprising a substantially flat mounting part that protrudes further and a floating part that is underwater and does not allow the mounting part to sink below the water surface; and an underwater scaffold extending horizontally from one side of the bottom of the frame member. a floating body formed of the frame member and the bottom member; a first connecting means that sequentially connects the end faces of the frame members of the floating body to form a series of floating body rows; a pair of floating body rows in the floating body row; The temporary floating pool is provided with a second connecting means for connecting the outer ends of the bottom members of the floating bodies by abutting them together.

(Function) The temporary floating pool of the present invention configured as described above exhibits the following functions.

First, by sequentially connecting the end faces of the frame members of the floating body using the first connecting means, a floating body row of a predetermined length is formed.

Then, when these rows of floating bodies are connected in an endless ring shape, and the respective bottom members of the facing floating bodies are successively connected by the second connecting means and sent out onto the water, the floating part of the frame member In addition to obtaining sufficient buoyancy to prevent the mounting part from sinking to the water surface,
This frame member acts as a circulating side wall and acts as a wave barrier, and the pair of opposing bottom members forms a series of flat bottoms and a foothold when standing on the bottom members. The inside becomes a temporary floating pool with a predetermined frame.

If you swim or play in the water in this pool, you can safely enjoy swimming or playing in the water even in the sea, lake, or river that is not shallow, or in places that are shallow but have a dangerous bottom.

In addition, in this temporary floating pool, when the second connecting means that connects the bottom members of the floating bodies is removed, the annular and endless row of floating bodies is opened, and when one end is pulled, it stretches into a raft shape, and the frame members of the floating bodies are When the first connecting means is removed, the floating bodies are individually separated.

(Example) Next, an example of a temporary floating pool according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, P represents a sea, lake, or lake that is not shallow.
This is a temporary floating pool that allows you to safely enjoy swimming and playing in the water, even in rivers and other shallow areas where the bottom is dangerous. configured.

As shown in each figure, the floating body 1 has a substantially flat mounting part 22 whose upper part protrudes above the water surface, and an arc-shaped semicircle that does not allow the mounting part 22 to sink below the water surface when underwater. It is formed by a frame member a consisting of a floating part 23 and a bottom member b extending horizontally from one side of the bottom of the floating part a to form an underwater foothold.

Also, the frame member a and the bottom member b in this floating body 1
As shown in Fig. 5, it is formed hollow with metal, synthetic resin, or other plate material, or the hollow is filled with foam, etc., or as shown in Fig. 6, it is made of foamed synthetic resin, foamed concrete, It can be made of a material with a specific gravity lower than that of other water, or it can be made of a flexible sheet bag that can be inflated by filling it with gas using a valve 6, as shown in Figure 7. The structure provides sufficient buoyancy.

The frame member a is connected in an annular and endless manner by the first and second connecting means 2 and 3 to form a side wall that goes around the outer periphery of the pool P, and furthermore, an open water portion is formed inside the side wall. Since it is formed of a metal hydride, the shape is such that it is easy for people to get on the upper mounting part 22, and there is no risk of water damage inside.The basic form is shown in Figs. 5 to 13. As shown, the top is flat and the bottom is semicircular, and although not shown in the drawing, any shape such as a circle, ellipse, square, triangle, polygon, etc. can be selected and used. The semicircular shape described above is also convenient for combining an auxiliary floating body 1' as shown in FIG.

The bottom member b of the floating body 1 described above serves as the bottom of the pool P and determines the water depth, and may have a structure that floats on water like the frame member a of the floating body 1, or as shown in FIG.
Structures that do not float on water, such as by covering the framework with boards like a screen, or by covering the framework with perforated boards or netting as shown in Figure 12, or by covering the framework with a sheet as shown in Figure 13. In the case of a children's pool where the water depth may be shallow, the frame member a is installed horizontally to one side under the frame member a, as shown in Figures 2 to 7. Either it is formed integrally with the lower part of the frame member, or it is formed separately as shown in FIG. Either a mounting part 8 is provided protrudingly on the side a, and the bottom member b is placed above or below this mounting part 8 and attached using bolts, adhesive 9, etc., or the bottom member b is attached to the mounting part 8 as shown in FIG. b are butted against each other, and the upper or lower sides are connected using a hinge 10 or the like to be foldable.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 11, a support tube 11 is attached to one side of the frame member a, and this support tube 1
A column 12 with a bottom member b fixed to the lower side is fitted to the column 1, so that the bottom member b can be attached and detached by inserting and removing the column 12. Furthermore, when deep water depth is required, the column shown in FIG. As shown, a protruding piece 13 is hung downward from the frame member a, and the bottom member b is attached to the protruding piece 13 by a means similar to that shown in FIGS. A column 14 that can be vertically rotated downward is suspended, and this column 1
4 by engaging the sliding fitting 15 attached to the bottom member b and moving the sliding fitting 15 up and down.
The height of the bottom member b can be adjusted as desired.

Note that this bottom member b is a pool P formed in a large size.
In this case, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, an auxiliary bottom member b' is connected to the tip to obtain a wide bottom area, and the connection method is shown in Figure 11. It is the same as the second connecting member 3 of the bottom members b and b shown, or, as shown in FIG. Use the connected one.

Furthermore, when the bottom member b connects the floating bodies 1 to form a floating body row L, and the floating body row L is joined endlessly to form a floating pool P, each corresponding or adjacent bottom member b comes together. The two bottom members b form the bottom surface of the pool P, and as shown in Fig. 1, the two bottom members b meet each other with their edges facing each other, and the bottom members b partially overlap each other. There is.

In the case of butting, each bottom member b is placed at the same height, and as shown in FIG. b is formed into a trapezoid shape that narrows on the inside, and in the case of partially overlapping each other, the height of each bottom member b is alternately changed, and the bottom member b of the rounded part is placed.
It is also formed into a square shape, and the 16th
As shown in the figure and FIG. 17, adjacent bottom members b are made to partially overlap.

Further, as described above, the bottom member b of the floating body 1 is a pair of bottom members b, b arranged opposite to each other, and the ends of the bottom members b, b are butted together and connected by the second connecting means 3. A series of flat areas form a sturdy foothold underwater.

Furthermore, since the bottom surface serving as the scaffold is formed separately by the bottom members b protruding from both sides, each corresponding or adjacent bottom member b is connected to a second connecting member such as a fastener, a hook, a gazing fitting, a rope, etc. 3, the floating body 1 corresponding to the lower side of the bottom member b can be connected as shown in FIG.
By joining the pieces together and regulating their spacing, and by attaching the support member 4 that supports the bottom member b as shown in Figure 2, the required strength can be maintained and you can safely enjoy swimming and playing in the water. The temporary levitation pool P could be easily and quickly installed by a small number of amateurs.

The above-mentioned pool P further includes a fourth pool outside the floating body 1.
As shown in the figure, if an auxiliary floating body 1' is arranged symmetrically with the floating body 1, the width of the frame member a of the pool P becomes wider, which not only functions as a small pool side and is convenient, but also serves as an auxiliary floating body. The top of the bottom member b of the floating body 1' extends outside the pool P, making it convenient for use as a water playground outside the pool P. Moreover, this auxiliary floating body 1' is attached to the floating body 1 with a hinge 5, etc., and the pool P is When removing and storing, it can be easily handled by folding it over the floating body 1 as shown by the chain line in FIG.

Next, the first connecting means 2 will be explained. The first connecting means 2 connects each floating body 1 to form a floating body row L, and as shown in FIGS. Drill a hole and connect it by passing a rope, wire c, etc. through this hole, or connect the floating bodies 1, 1.
As shown in Fig. 18, hinge fittings d and d are attached to the upper sides of both ends of the floating bodies 1 and 1, and when the connecting shaft e is inserted into these fittings d and d, the floating bodies 1 and 1 are connected, and when the connecting shaft e is removed, the connection is made. The floating bodies 1, 1 are separated.

In this formula, the parts where it is necessary to bend the floating body row L formed by connecting the floating bodies 1 are:
As shown in FIG. 19, the hinge d of one of the floating bodies 1 can be rotated around the pivot g by removing the mounting screw f, so that the floating body row L can be bent. As shown in , each floating body 1,
Attach hinge fittings d, d and d, d to both sides of 1,
The floating bodies 1, 1 are connected by inserting a connecting shaft e into both.

In addition, at the point where it is necessary to bend the floating body row L by configuring the floating body row L, as shown in FIG. Either the floating body row L can be bent by bending the rope or wire c as described above.
etc., a second
As shown in Fig. 2, a ring h is attached, and the ropes, wires c, etc. are successively inserted into this ring h to connect the floating bodies 1, 1, and then separated by pulling it out, or as shown in Fig. 23. Floating bodies 1, 1 are connected by attaching rings h, h inside and outside the floating body 1, and inserting ropes and wires c through these rings h, h. In this case, two ropes and wires are inserted. If you pull only one side of c, the floating body row L
can be bent as shown in FIG. 24, and the first connecting means 2 is one in which appropriate means other than the above-mentioned means are selected depending on the shape of the pool P, installation conditions, etc. It is.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a safety fence to be attached to the pool P, which can be attached to the outside of the floating body 1 as shown in Figure 2, or to the outside of the auxiliary floating body 1' as shown in Figure 4.
Floating bodies 1 or 1 and 1' are enclosed and the pool P is isolated from the outside to maintain safety.

17 is an awning stretched over the pool P, and as shown in Figure 2, the pole 1 is erected on the outside of the floating body 1 or 1'.
It is supported by a support rod 19 and stretched over the support rod 8, and is used as a sunshade, rain shield, etc.

20 is a cable stretched outside the bottom member b of the auxiliary floating body 1', as shown in FIG.
This will form an outdoor water play area.

Pool P installed and used as described above is compatible with
When the connecting member 3 and support member 4 that connect and support the adjacent bottom members b and b are removed and the first connecting means 2 that connects the floating body row L in an endless manner is released, the floating body row L is aligned on a straight line. As a result, it becomes possible to tow the floating bodies 1 on the water like a raft to land, so the floating bodies 1 constituting this floating body row L are pulled up to the land one by one starting from the first one, and the second connecting means 3 is removed. By separating the floating bodies 1 individually, each floating body 1 can be easily handled, so that the pool P can be easily and quickly removed from the water by a small number of amateurs.

(Effects of the Invention) The temporary floating pool according to the present invention can be installed in a sea, lake, or river that is not shallow, or in a place where the bottom is dangerous even if it is shallow, and it is possible to safely enjoy swimming and playing in the water in these places.

It can be installed easily and quickly by a small number of amateurs, and when it is no longer needed, it can be easily removed and disposed of using the simple configuration described above.
It is ideal as a temporary pool for leisure.

The pool body maintains a safe margin in deep and dangerous waters, so you can enjoy safe and comfortable swimming just like in a regular pool.

Since a pool can obtain sufficient buoyancy from the frame members of the connected floating bodies, the buoyancy does not decrease even when it is formed in a large size or in a small size, so it is easy to swim at a safe depth. In addition, as for the mounting part at the top of the frame member, even if a person stands on it and uses it instead of the poolside, they can rest in peace without sinking to the water surface or swaying sideways. If the water at the installation site increases or decreases, it will rise and fall accordingly, and the water depth at the bottom with the scaffolding will not change, thereby preventing drowning accidents caused by this.

Furthermore, since the bottom members of the floating body are connected by the second connecting means to form a flat scaffold,
A person standing on the bottom can walk or move stably without shaking back and forth or side to side. It never sinks.

In addition, this pool connects the floating bodies with the first and second connecting means to create the desired framework.This connection is strong and can be rearranged freely when forming it, making it unique. Individuals can configure their own pools.

It has a simple structure, can be provided on the market at low cost, and can be disassembled into small pieces for convenient transportation and storage.

It has unique effects such as:
