Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swimming pool formed of plates of light weight material.
  • a saving in weight can be achieved by using aluminium or lightweight alloys but in the known designs of this sort it has been found necessary to increase the stability of the structure by reinforcing arrangements or external supporting structures of different kinds, so that these designs are thus rendered substantially more expensive.
  • An object of the present invention is the provision of a swimming pool which is simple in design and construction and which elements are generally commercially available. Accordingly the cost of manufacture is reduced.
  • a further object is the provision of a pool which is light when compared with conventional designs which use reinforced concrete or steel. Despite its lightness, the present swimming pool is sufficiently stable to be selfsupporting' and watertight even when completely filled. Further, additional supporting structures are largely unnecessary which simplifies the installation of a swimming pool. Also it is easy to check whether a swimming pool in accordance with the invention is watertight simply by filling it with water prior to final installation.
  • Another object of the invention is that the level of the water in the pool, when it is filled, coincides with the edge of the pool.
  • the total depth of the pool may be reduced by virtue of the fact that conventional sunken splash channels, which determined water level, may be eliminated.
  • waves in the pool are dampened because there are no vertical wave-reflecting surfaces above the natural water level.
  • a further advantage of this feature is the reduction of the risk of injury by diving or slipping. Also, supervision of such a pool is enhanced by the fact that the whole of the pool interior can be seen from the surroundings without known obstructions.
  • a further advantage of the instant invention is the washing effect due to the provision of Wash-over and discharge through the grid which effects foot-washing in a virtually automatic way.
  • the provision of two external frames and a pair of discharge grids are particularly suitable.
  • the present invention consists in a swimming pool formed of plates of light weight material comprising: a base, walls extending upwards from the base, and a peripheral portion extending outwardly from the top of the walls, the edge of the pool coinciding with the level of water in the pool when the pool is filled, and overflow means disposed in the top surface of the peripheral portion for receiving splash-over from the pool.
  • the walls of the pool are formed of elements which are concave vis a vis the interior of the pool and include flanges outwardly directed from the interior of the pool, which are welded to the outwardly directed flanges of adjacent elements.
  • edge of the pool is formed by a first inverted U-shaped beam disposed on the top surface of the peripheral portion, and a second inverted U-shaped beam is disposed on the top surface of the peripheral portion outwardly of the first inverted U- shaped beam, and the overflow means is disposed between the two U-shaped beams.
  • the walls are supported on an inverted U-shaped frame with outwardly directed flanges.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through a wall of a swimming pool in accordance with the invention, and includes a partial view of the adjacent bottom section and base, and a top section;
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the swimming pool shown in FIG. 1 along the line II-II of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a longitudinal section through a swimming pool according to the invention.
  • a swimming pool is provided with a suitable bottom frame 1 which rests upon a gravel foundation.
  • the frame is constructed of lengths of U-section beam open in the downward direction and equipped with outward extending flanges.
  • the bight of the U-shaped section is substantially fiat; alternatively the beams may have a so- 6.
  • the overflow means includes a grid or grill disposed between the first and the second and the second and the third inverted U-shaped beams.
  • a swimming bath as claimed in claim 1 wherein the walls are supported on an inverted U-shaped frame with outwardly directed flanges.
