Abstract

PURPOSE: To separate the drain hole of a bottom part, necessary for the drainage of a plastic pool, from the installed face near the drain hole without manual assistance. CONSTITUTION: The drain receiving part 12 of a flat pipe body 11 with one end part having the drain receiving part 12 with a drain inlet 13 inclined downward to the tip and with the rear end part having a hose connecting part 14 is inserted toward a drain hole part on the lower side of the bottom part of a pool 16, in a position close to the drain hole 17 of the pool 16. The drain inlet 13 is thereby communicated with the drain hole 17, and the hose connecting part 14 is set in such a way as to protrude outside of the pool 16. In this state, the drain hole 17 of the pool 16 is unplugged so as to drain water in the pool 16 outside of the pool from the drain hole 17 through the drain inlet 13 of the drain receiving part, body part, and hose connecting part 14 of the pipe body 11.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drainage tool (drainer) for a plastic pool (hereinafter referred to as "pool") such as a vinyl pool used for playing water in infants.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, this type of pool has a drain hole with a removable plug attached to the bottom, but a pool filled with water has a drain hole section depending on the weight of the water. Since it is in close contact with the installation surface (ground, etc.), it is impossible to drain even if the drain hole plug is removed. Therefore, conventionally, in order to separate (float) the drain hole and its vicinity from the installation surface, the outer peripheral portion of the pool near the drain hole is manually lifted.

[0003]

However, the work of manually lifting the outer peripheral portion of the pool near the drainage hole is a heavy work, since it gradually decreases, but the weight is considerable and the time is long. .

In view of the above points, the present invention has an object to separate the drain hole of the pool and its vicinity from the installation surface substantially without using human hands.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the above object is to provide a drainage receiving portion (drainage inlet) with a drainage inlet which can abut against a drainage hole of a pool at one end thereof so as to include the drainage hole. This is achieved by a pool drainage tool including a tubular body (cylindrical body) having a section.

Here, in the drainage receiving portion at one end of the tubular body,
A downward slope can be provided. Furthermore, a hose connection can be provided at the other end of the tubular body.

[0007]

In the pool drainage tool of the present invention, generally, the drainage receiving portion at one end of the tubular body is located below the bottom of the pool (the bottom of the pool and its installation at a position close to the drainage hole at the bottom of the pool. (To the surface) until it touches the outlet on the outside of the drain hole, and the trunk of the tubular body extends under the bottom of the pool with the drain inlet of the tubular body communicating with the drain hole. It is used with the other end set to project from the outer periphery of the pool.In this state, if you remove the plug attached to the drain hole, the water in the pool will flow from the drain hole to the tubular body. Drained out of the pool through the drainage inlet of the drainage receiver and the tubular body.

When the drainage receiving portion at one end of the tubular body is provided with a downwardly sloping slope, its sharp shape facilitates insertion of the drainage receiving portion to the drainage hole portion at the bottom of the pool. If a hose connection is provided at the end, drainage can be guided to an arbitrary position by connecting the hose.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show an embodiment of a drainage device for a pool according to the present invention, which has a drainage receiving portion 12 with a drainage inlet 13 having a downwardly sloping slope at one end (tip). At the same time, it is made of a plastic tubular body 11 having a flat shape (flat shape) having a hose connecting portion 14 at the other end (rear end) and having no corners.

The drainage tool for the pool in this illustrated example is a pool 1
In the vicinity of the drainage hole 17 of 6, the drainage receiving portion 12 at one end of the tubular body 11 is inserted between the bottom of the pool 16 and the installation surface thereof toward the drainage hole 17 (in this case, facilitating insertion). Therefore, the relevant portion of the pool 16 can be lifted by hand), and the drainage inlet 13 of the drainage receiving portion 12 communicates with the drainage hole 17 at the outside (lower side) outlet portion of the drainage hole 17, The tubular body 11 and the body of the tubular body 11 is abutted against the pool 1.
6 extends below the bottom of the hose connection 14 and the hose connection 14
Pool 1 when set so that it projects to the outside
Remove the plug (not shown) of the drain hole 17 of the pool 6
The water inside is drained from the drain hole 17 to the drainage receiving portion 12 of the tubular body 11.
Drainage inlet 13 and body of tubular body 11 and hose connection 1
It is used in the form of discharging through 4 (and the hose).

In addition to this, the drainage tool of the present invention can be embodied in various forms such as a tubular body having a cross-sectional shape other than that shown, for example, a circular or elliptical cross-sectional shape. It is not limited.

[0012]

As is apparent from the above description, the drainage tool for a pool according to the present invention does not require any manpower except when setting it under the bottom of the pool when draining the pool. The practically useful effect that the conventional heavy labor work is released is achieved.

Further, in the drainage tool of this pool, when the drainage receiving portion at one end is provided with a downwardly sloping slope, insertion work to the drainage hole portion of the pool becomes easy and the lifting height of the drainage hole portion of the pool is increased. Since the water is kept low, the water in the pool can be drained almost completely, and if a hose connection is provided at the other end, the drainage point can be arbitrarily selected by connecting the hose.

When the tubular body is flat and has no corners as in the illustrated example, the effects of facilitating the insertion into the drainage hole of the pool and the complete drainage of the pool are promoted. Since the deformation of the tubular body contact portion of the pool is gentle and small, damage is prevented.
