Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field This invention relates to a simple pool for children to play in the water.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a pool of this kind has been proposed, for example, in which a water storage portion formed of a resin sheet is surrounded by an annular outer wall made of a hard resin plate. However, with this configuration, the outer wall cannot be folded, making it inconvenient to handle when stored. In addition, using a highly rigid and durable material for the outer wall is inconvenient to handle, as mentioned above, so it is inevitable to use something thin and not very durable, that is, a thin synthetic resin board. As a result, children were unable to sit on the outer wall due to their weak backs.

Purpose This invention was made to solve these conventional problems, and its purpose was to be easy to store, durable enough for children to sit on the outside wall, and easy to assemble and disassemble when storing. Another object of the present invention is to provide a new simple pool that is easy to manufacture.

Embodiment An embodiment embodying this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The simple pool of this embodiment has a water storage section 1 made of vinyl sheet that constitutes the inner peripheral surface and bottom surface of the pool.
and an annular outer wall 2 surrounding the water storage portion 1. An annular locking ring 3 is attached to the upper edge of the water storage portion 1 . That is, the locking ring 3 is formed of synthetic resin and has an inverted U-shaped cross section that opens downward, and the inner surface of the inverted U-shaped cross section is heat-sealed to the upper edge of the water storage portion 1. .
Then, by fitting and locking this locking ring 3 to the upper edge of the outer wall 2, the water storage section 1 is installed within the outer wall 2, and water W can be stored therein. Note that a pattern 4 is printed on the inner surface of the side wall of the water storage section 1.

The outer wall 2, which has an annular shape when erected, is composed of a large number of outer wall elements 5 arranged in a circumferential manner, and a thin plate-like connecting portion 7 that connects the outer wall elements 5 adjacent to each other. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each outer wall element 5 extends in the vertical direction when the outer wall 2 is erected, is formed into a flat tube shape from hard vinyl chloride, and the outer wall element 5 is erected inside the outer wall element 5. A reinforcing rib 6 is integrally formed from the upper end to the lower end. Further, a thin plate-like connecting portion 7 made of hard vinyl chloride is interposed between each outer wall element 5, and this connecting portion 7 allows adjacent outer wall elements 5 to be bent to each other, and the inner circumferential surfaces of the outer walls are flush with each other. They are connected together like this. Note that the outer wall element 5 and the connecting portion 7
and are extrusion molded simultaneously using one mold.

In the simple swimming pool of this embodiment configured as described above, since each outer wall element 5 is formed into a rigid tubular shape, even when a child sits on the outer wall 2, unlike in the past, the outer wall 2 There is no risk that the water W will flow out due to bending or that the locking ring 3 will come off from the outer wall 2.

In addition, when storing, first remove the locking ring 3 from the outer wall 2 of this simple pool assembled as shown in FIG. Because it is bendable, the outer wall 2, which stands in an annular shape, can be crushed diametrically from both left and right sides in Fig. 1 to form a plate, and then folded to an appropriate size. If you roll it up, you can make each part into a compact shape. Therefore, there is no risk of inconvenience in storing it when not in use.

Note that this invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be embodied in each of the modified examples described in the next section.

(1) As shown in Fig. 4, the outer wall 2 is made up of alternating wide flat tubes 11 and narrow rod-shaped tubes 12 to improve the design.

(2) As shown in Fig. 6, caps 19 are fitted to both the upper and lower end surfaces of each outer wall element 18 to prevent dirt, sand, etc. from entering during use.

(3) When installed, the external wall elements are formed into a cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction, and the adjacent external wall elements are bendably connected to each other by thin plate-like connecting parts, and the external wall elements and the connecting parts are made of synthetic resin. be formed integrally by

(4) The outer wall shall be configured in a square ring shape.

(5) In addition, the shape and configuration of each part may be arbitrarily changed and embodied without departing from the spirit of this invention.

Effects As detailed above, the present invention has the advantage that the outer wall is strong and allows a child to sit on the outer wall when in use, while being foldable when stored. Further, it is easy to assemble or disassemble during storage, and it also has the advantage of being easy to manufacture.
