Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to swimming pools. Specifically, the present invention provides a mirror surface that covers at least a portion of the inner wall surface consisting of the inner wall surface and the inner bottom surface or the poolside surface, so that swimmers can see themselves while swimming or swim by the poolside. This invention relates to a swimming pool that allows you to see what you look like when you take a posture.

Conventionally, there has been no example of installing a mirror surface in a swimming pool, so swimmers could not see themselves while swimming. Therefore, for the purpose of education or practice, swimmers should be shown their own images [H. The only methods available were to watch or watch, and since they were both temporally and spatially separated from the swimming practice area, their effectiveness was limited.

It would seem that installing an ordinary glass mirror in a swimming pool would solve this problem, but I have never heard of such a practice being done. The reason for this is that swimming pools are required to be absolutely safe, and even if someone comes up with the idea of installing a mirror in a swimming pool,
This is probably due to the fact that there was no way to install a regular glass mirror without any fear of damage, so they had no choice but to give up on it.

The present invention aims to provide a swimming pool that is highly effective for education or practice, and is characterized in that a mirror surface made of metal or synthetic resin is installed on at least a part of the inner wall surface or the pool side surface. The gist of this paper is as follows.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

In the present invention, a mirror surface made of metal or synthetic resin is installed in a swimming pool. Specific examples of such mirror surfaces include mirror-finishing such as plating on metal or synthetic resin surfaces such as metal plates such as aluminum, synthetic resin plates such as polyethylene, or metal-synthetic resin composite plates such as aluminum-polyethylene composite plates. Examples include those that have been treated.

Such mirror surfaces do not break or produce dangerous debris and are safe for use in swimming pools.

Next, in the present invention, the mirror surface is installed on at least a portion of the inner wall surface or the poolside surface.

The inner wall surface refers to the wall surface of the part of the swimming pool that is filled with water, and consists of the inner wall surface and the inner bottom surface. The mirror surface may be installed on the entire inner wall surface or poolside surface, but in normal cases, it is sufficient to install it on a portion thereof. When a mirror surface is installed on the inner wall surface, swimmers can directly see themselves while swimming, which significantly improves the effectiveness of education or training. In addition, when a mirror surface is installed on the poolside surface, beginner swimmers in particular can sufficiently practice while observing their swimming posture on land close to the pool water surface, thereby improving the practice effect.

Further, as methods for installing a mirror surface in the present invention, there are two methods: a method in which the inner wall surface or poolside surface is constructed of the mirror surface itself, and a method in which a mirror surface is provided so as to cover the inner wall surface or poolside surface.

Inner wall 0'''-''7'-'v+4)''it mirror 0 itself 7 configuration i.

Examples of methods for doing so include a method of incorporating the above-mentioned mirror surface when constructing a new inner wall surface or poolside surface, and a method of replacing the facing material of an existing inner wall surface or poolside surface with the above-mentioned mirror surface.

Methods of covering the interior wall surface or poolside surface with a mirror surface include a method of permanently fixing the mirror surface on the existing interior wall surface or poolside surface, and a method of covering the mirror surface on the existing interior wall surface or poolside surface. Examples include a method of fixing or mounting the mirror surface in a removable manner.

The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings 64L showing specific embodiments of the present invention.

is the pool side. Mirror surface (4)% t51 & (6
) and (7) are installed on a portion of the inner wall surface, inner bottom surface, and poolside surface, respectively. When the mirror surface itself constitutes the inner wall surface or the poolside surface, when constructing or replacing these surfaces, the mirror surface is fitted using a waterproof adhesive if necessary. In addition, when the mirror surface is installed over an existing inner wall surface or poolside surface, the mirror surface is fixed onto these surfaces with a waterproof adhesive or mechanically attached using bolts, screws, etc. If bolts, screws, etc. protrude from the mirror surface, cover them with a sealant or other material to prevent danger to swimmers. Further, when the mirror surface is removably fixed, the rear surface of the mirror surface and the mounting surface are combined by fitting and other mechanical coupling means.

When installing mirror surfaces over a wide area, it becomes necessary to connect multiple mirror surfaces. Connection method in this case Weld the backing materials Q3) and α4 so that there is an appropriate width overlap on the back surfaces of 0υ and 02, and close the gap between the mirror surfaces with beads aω and Oe. is an example of multiple connections with fasteners such as bolts, screws, rivets, etc., and mirror surface ■, (2υ and (2υ)
Make sure that there is an appropriate width overlap on the back side of 2 (c) and (24)? Relief, tightening tool (c), (25') % (
25") and (25"'), and fill and coat the gap between the mirror surfaces and the protrusion of the fastener with sealant (25) and (27).

When a mirror surface is attached to an existing inner wall surface or poolside surface, there is a risk of injury to swimmers depending on the condition of the end of the mirror surface. In that case, as shown in Figure 7, the mirror surface (to)
Either fit an end protection member 01) with a U-shaped cross section made of an elastic material such as rubber or plastic onto the end of the mirror surface C32, or insert the end protection member 01) of the mirror surface C32 (with 331 on the back side) as shown in Figure 5. You can prevent the risk of damage by bending the product.

Note that in order to removably install a mirror surface on the inner bottom surface, it is not necessarily necessary to mechanically connect the mirror surface and the inner bottom surface, and it is sufficient to simply place the mirror surface so that it is difficult to move. Figure 6 shows an example of such a case, where the back side (36) of the mirror surface 05)
VC weights (37) and (3'i") are attached to prevent movement when placed on the inner bottom surface. Figure 7 shows another example, with mirror surfaces (40 and (40) Rod-shaped members (4 and 4) are attached to the back surface, and they are connected by fitting and other mechanical joints (44) and (tsukuda). In this case, multiple mirror surfaces are connected to create a mirror surface. Since the rod-like member is prevented from moving, the rod-shaped member does not require much weight.In either method, the mirror surface is simply placed on the inner bottom surface, so it can be easily removed when cleaning the swimming pool. can be done.
