Benefits of technology

[0015]Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, which allows vertical rods to be designed in a rectilinear shape without a bending portion so as to reduce a load and stably withstand hydraulic pressure transmitted from a wall of the swimming pool assembly.
[0016]It is another object of the present invention to provide a support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, which has a simple frame structure so as to reduce an overall time taken to assemble and disassemble the swimming pool assembly.
[0017]It is another object of the present invention to provide a support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, which has a simple frame shape and a simple manufacturing process, and directly interconnects vertical rods and a prop pipe using shoes without elastic connection structures for interconnecting the vertical rods and the prop pipe so as to increase productivity and promote cost-cutting.
[0018]It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, which allows vertical rods to vertically slide along inclined holes of shoes, even though force is applied to horizontal and vertical rods in the outward direction and / or in the upward direction due to the load of water surging in the swimming pool assembly, so as to prevent the shoes from being damaged or the lower ends of the vertical rods to be bent.

Problems solved by technology

Thereby, the installation of the shoes 40 is complicated, and requires a long time.
When the swimming pool assembly is disassembled, the same problems are generated.
Thus, the support frame unit for the conventional swimming pool assembly requires a bending process and a tube reducing process for forming the bending extensions, and requires elastic connection structures for interconnecting the vertical rods and the prop pipe, thus increasing a production cost.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Now, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the annexed drawings.

[0032]A support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly of the present invention is disposed such that the support frame unit surrounds the periphery of a pool body 1, and supports a surrounding wall 10 so as to prevent the surrounding wall 10 from being sunken due to hydraulic pressure applied to the surrounding wall 10 of the pool body 1.

[0033]With reference to FIG. 3, the support frame unit in accordance this embodiment includes first and second vertical rods 110 and 120, first and second shoes 210 and 220, and a prop pipe 300, which are prepared in a set. Thus, plural sets of the support frame units are disposed at regular intervals along the surrounding wall 10 of the pool body 1.

[0034]The first and second vertical rods 110 and 120 have a rectilinear shape having a designated length. Upper ends of the first and second vertical rods 110 and 120 are detach...

Abstract

Disclosed is a support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, which stably withstands hydraulic pressure, transmitted from a wall of the swimming pool assembly. The support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, in which a plurality of support frame units is disposed along the periphery of a surrounding wall of a pool body of the swimming pool assembly filled with water so as to prevent the surrounding wall from being sunken due to hydraulic pressure, includes first and second vertical rods having a rectilinear shape, upper ends of which are detachably attached to horizontal rods maintaining the shape of the upper end of the surrounding wall; a prop pipe including a central part inserted into a loop part formed on the bottom of the pool body, and first and second branch parts bent from both sides of the central part in the same direction; and first and second shoes respectively formed in single pieces having inclined holes, into which lower ends of the first and second vertical rods are respectively inserted, formed in upper surfaces thereof, and horizontal holes, into which the first and second branch parts of the prop pipe are respectively detachably inserted, formed in side surfaces thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a swimming pool assembly, and more particularly to a support frame unit for a swimming pool assembly, which is installed along the periphery of a surrounding wall of a pool body so as to prevent the pool body from being sunken due to hydraulic pressure.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In general, swimming pool assemblies are formed by sewing a vinyl tent into a designated shape to form a pool body, fixing the pool body to poles mounted on the ground, and filling the inside of the pool body with water. In the case that side walls of the pool body are sunken by hydraulic pressure, the water stored in the pool body may flow out of the swimming pool assembly and thus an amount of the water as much as the outflow amount needs to be frequently supplied to the inside of the swimming pool assembly.[0005]In order to solve the above problem, a swimming pool assembly, which includes a p...
