GR1009776B - Transportable swimming pool of variable dimensions - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a transportable variable-sized swimming pool composed of a system of frames, junctions, vertical frames, joints, screws, wooden and steel panels with recurring characteristics; by proper coupling and repeated use of the required pieces, a transportable swimming pool of varying dimensions, responding to the needs of every installation site can be created. Composed of a special articulated mountable steel base consisted of frames, junctions, joints and screws with repetitive features, the invention allows for its variable size and length to be assembled and reassembled, both in width and length. This metal base rests on height adjusters that allow the construction to be mounted on a sloping or multi-level substructure. On the metal base there are set panels forming a single surface of the swimming pool ("floor" and "walls"); a jacket-type insulation material (liner) is mounted on said metal base. Around the swimming pool, water overflow grooves are installed and connected to a complete recirculation and water heating system which terminates, through external ducts, to a complete engine room. For the sake of easy installation and transport, economy and flexibility of use, both, the engine room and the fully equipped changing rooms are boxed into metal containers. Finally, a corridor-type deck and metal security railings are installed to ensure the peripheral access to the swimming pool.

Description

PERI GRAPH F H

Portable swimming pool of variable dimensions The present invention relates to a portable swimming pool (swimming pool) of variable dimensions, according to the main concept of patent claim 1. It is composed of a system of above-ground frames, panels, joints, special links and screws, which are connected to each other in such a way as to create a swimming tank which can be transported and have variable dimensions.

Existing swimming pools are static installations, that is, above-ground structures with a permanent construction structure, usually of concrete, and an integrated, built-in water filtration system. Therefore, they are of a permanent type, destined to remain for life in the unique place of their original placement. These characteristics entail a number of disadvantages and economic and technical problems during the construction and operation of a swimming pool, such as, indicatively, the high construction costs due to the large amount of concrete required for its construction, the increased maintenance needs and the high costs which include, forcing the management and maintenance of a swimming pool to be usually carried out under the auspices of state or municipal services, the necessity of annual operation for the efficiency of the pool, the choice of an exclusive location for the lifetime of the pool, as well as the lack of multi-functionality and the inability to change the dimensions of the pool.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-described disadvantages, through a fully functional and equipped swimming tank, which will be mobile, easily repositionable in different installation areas, open or sheltered or inclined, changing in terms of its dimensions and adapting to each installation space, as well as economical in its installation and operation, compared to existing static pools.

Such a solution is achieved according to the invention, the characteristics of which are defined in the patent claims.

The invention consists of a modular assembled special stainless steel base, which is composed of frames, joints, connectors and screws with repetitive features, thus allowing it to be assembled and reassembled with a variable size, both in terms of its width and length , with simple repeated use and suitable for each installation space. Specifically, the length of the tank extends from 4 meters to 50 meters and its width from 2.5 meters to 25 meters.

The base rests on height adjusters which allow the structure to be placed on sloping or uneven ground. Perimeter vertical stainless steel frames of specific and fixed dimensions, from 0.5 meters to 2 meters in height, are screwed onto the base. Afterwards, wooden panels are placed on the metal base, while vertical stainless steel panels are placed tangent to the vertical frames, which create a single surface of the swimming pool, as its "floor" and "walls", respectively. This is followed by the placement of a mantle-type insulating material ("liner") on the inner surface of the tank formed by the above wooden and metal surfaces (panels).

Next, a water overflow tank is placed around the tank, connected to a complete water recirculation and heating system, which ends through externally placed ducts in a complete engine room with the most advanced energy saving systems integrated and in accordance with the new environmental standards. For reasons of ease of installation and transportation, economy and flexibility in use, both the engine room and the fully equipped changing rooms are enclosed in metal container boxes. Finally, a deck-type walkway and metal safety railings are installed to ensure peripheral access to the swimming pool.

The above-mentioned and other features and objects of the present invention are clearly set forth in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention taken in conjunction with the drawings.

Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional illustration of the modular assembled special stainless steel swimming tank base, which is composed of frames 1, joints 2, vertical frames 3, connectors and screws with repetitive features, which allow easy transportation, assembly and installation of the swimming pool tank, but also the variability of its size, with the simple repeated use and appropriate placement of the pieces required in each case, according to the needs of each installation space. Specifically, the length of the tank extends from 4 meters to 50 meters and its width from 2.5 meters to 25 meters, while the height of the vertical panels is fixed, but the size can be chosen from 0.5 meters to 2 meters. In the preferred example the swimming pool is 16 meters long, 6.5 meters wide, and 1.20 meters high. Also, the base rests on 4-style adjusters, which allow the swimming tank to be placed on a sloped or uneven background.

Figure 2 shows a three-dimensional illustration of the modular assembled special base of the stainless steel swimming pool, assembled, on which wooden panels have been placed, while vertical panels of stainless steel have been placed tangentially to the vertical frames, creating a single surface of the swimming pool, as its "floor" and "walls", respectively, on which a uniform inner surface of the swimming tank has been placed insulating material of the mantle type ("liner") 5. And grooves have been placed around the perimeter of the tank that make up the water overflow tank 6.

Figure 3 shows a 3D rendering of the swimming tank, fully developed and operational. The metal base is covered with a deck-type walkway 7 and metal safety railings 9 to ensure peripheral access to the swimming pool.

In addition, the water overflow tank 6 is connected to a complete water recirculation and heating system, which ends through externally placed ducts 10 in a complete engine room 11 with integrated the most advanced energy saving systems, such as photovoltaic elements 12 for heating the water and for the production of electricity, and according to the new environmental standards. In fact, for reasons of ease of installation and transport, economy and flexibility in use, both the engine room 11 and the fully equipped changing rooms 12 are enclosed in metal container-type boxes.
