Abstract
A prefabricated swimming pool including a pool frame having a plurality of vertical frames and horizontal frames connected between the vertical frames, and pool body fabricated from a synthetic resin sheet having a base unit and a circumferential side wall and supported by the pool frame. Storing and carrying of the swimming pool is simple and handy, and there is no possibility that the circumferential side wall is inclined or collapses, ensuring a safe and stable use.
Claims8
A prefabricated swimming pool comprising:
- a pool body comprising:
- a base unit,
- a circumferential side wall upwardly extended from a marginal portion of the base unit, and
- a plurality of pockets formed at the upper end of the circumferential side wall, the pockets being divided by a plurality of opening portions;
- and
- a pool frame comprising:
- a horizontal frame consisting of a plurality of horizontal bars inserted into the pockets and a plurality of connection bars for connecting the adjacent horizontal bars, and
- a plurality of vertical frames each consisting of a support unit placed on the ground at the exterior of the circumferential side wall and a pair of vertical bars for connecting the support unit and the corresponding horizontal bar through one of the opening portions for supporting the horizontal frame,
- wherein the support unit comprises:
- a pair of side bars respectively being connected with, and extended toward the exterior of the circumferential side wall from the corresponding vertical bar,
- an inner bar connecting the ends of the pair of vertical bars, and
