Definitions

  • the present invention aims obviate to the drawbacks of the prior art swimming pools, by providing a swimming pool which is lighter in weight and easily dismantled.
  • a swimming pool assembly including a tank structure formed by a supporting frame to which a plurality of sheet metal plates are secured, and by further adhering to the exposed surface of the metal plates a watertight lining comprising thin panels either plastic material or stainless steel with the panels being joined together in a watertight manner.
  • FIG. Us a partial vertical section of a swimming pool according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial plan view of the bottom of the swimming pool.
  • FIG. 3 is a section of a particular of a joint between.
  • FIG. is a plan view of a still further embodiment of the junction center between four panels.
  • F IG.ll is a cross-section through a particular of FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 12 is a plan view of another embodiment of a junction center between four panels.
  • FIG. 13 is a cross-section taken along line XIII-XIII of FIG. 12.
  • FIG. 14 is a plan view of another embodiment of the junction center between four panels.
  • FIG. 15 is a cross-section taken along line XVXV of FIG. l4.
  • FIG. 16 is a plan view of another embodiment of the junction center between four panels.
  • FIG. 17 is a perspective view of a corner of a lining panel according to the embodiment of FIG. 16.
  • the swimming pool shown comprises a box-type framework 1.
  • the sheet metal plates 2 are secured to thus form the bottom and sidewalls of the tank of the swimming pool.
  • the sheet metal plates 2 are advantageously of an elongated rectangular shape and are disposed side by side, as shown in FIG.2.
  • the said plates 2 are secured to the framework 1 in a releasable manner by means of bolts or the like connecting means.
  • Lining panels 3 are secured to the exposed surface of the plates 2.
  • the said panels 3 are formed from a thin sheet of plastic material stainless steel and constitute the inner lining of the swimming pool.
  • some of the panels 2 are arranged to extend outwardly over the framework as illustrated at 2a in order to form a support for the suitably profiled lining panels 3, the upper edge 4 of which terminates in a walkway 5 that extends all around the swimming pool.
  • expansion gaps 6 are provided between the aligned plates 2.
  • the panels 3 extend over plates 2 to cover the said expansion gaps 6, to bridge the same and are joined together at the said expansion gaps by means of a weld seam 7.
  • the edges of the plates 2 are bent inwardly at right angles so as to form the connecting flanges 9 which are provided with slots 11 and through which the connecting bolts 8 are passed.
  • the angle irons 10 are welded to the lower side of the plates 2.
  • the said angle irons 10 are also provided, as described in the embodiment of FIG. 3, with slots 11 for passage of the connecting bolts 8.
  • the lining panels 3 are secured to the supporting plates 2 by means of a layer of adhesive 12.
  • the lining panels 3 are provided at their peripheral edges which extend beyond the underlying plates 2 with a corrugation 13 that extend along the edges of the panels and parallel to the weld seam 7.
  • each panel 3 At the corners or junction point between four panels the longitudinal and transversal corrugations 13 of each panel 3 are connected together by a curved transition corrugation. Moreover, the said panels are each provided at this junction point with a curved corrugation 14 which extends for one fourth of the circumference of the corner of the panel '3 and has its center portion disposed at the said corner. The said corrugation 14 partially overlaps the curved transition corrugation between the straight corrugations 13 of the panel. Further at their corners, the said panels are provided with a partial embossmentlS which extends for one-fourth of a hemisphere. At the junction point of which extends the four panels 3 the curved corrugations 14 thus comprise a full circle corrugation and the partial embossments 15 comprise a hemispheric cup.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 a second embodiment of an expansion joint is shown.
  • the panels 3 are each provided with longitudinal and transversal corrugations at their edges, there being connected together at their corners by curved transition corrugations;
  • the corners of the panels 3 are provided with a substantially rhombic part 16.
  • the said part 16 is covered by two oppositely disposed cup-like elements 17, 18, which are connected together through the part 16 by a connecting stud 19 secured at one end to cup 17 and arranged to pass through an aperture in cup 18.
  • a tightening bolt 20 is made fast on the free end of said stud 19, so as to tighten cups 17 and 18 together and urge them into firm contact against the corners of the panels 3.
  • the space inside of cups 17 and 18 may be filled with a suitable cement.
  • the curved transition corrugation connecting the straight corrugations 13 is provided centrally of the curved area with an hemispherical depression 21.
  • the panels 3 instead of being welded together, are connected together by strips 22 which ever the joints, as shown.
  • the said strips 22 are provided with oppositely extending lateral grooves 23, in which the edges of the panels are inserted together with a suitable plastic cement.
  • the panels 3 are each provided with a longitudinal corrugation 13.
  • the said panels 3 are so offset, one with respect to the other, as to define at the junction point between four panels a square aperture which is closed by a cover piece 24 welded to the said panels.
  • the panels 3 are each provided with a first longitudinal corrugation l3 and with a second transversal corrugation 113 which intersects and erasses the corrugation 13 near the corners of said panel.
  • the panels 3 are welded together at 7.
  • a swimming pool assembly comprising the following elements, a supporting structure including a frame, a plurality of sheet metal plates in spaced edge to edge relationship supported on said frame, lining panels including edge portions arranged to overlie said plurality of plates, means serving to join said panels together in a water-tight manner and compensate for movement in the structure as well as thermal expansion of said respective elements comprising the pool assembly.
  • edges of said lining panels are provided with, at least, one corrugation.
  • edges of said panels are each provided with longitudinal and transversal corrugations.
  • junction point of plural adjacent lining panels include a hemispherical embossment.
