Portable swimming pool structure

Abstract

Abstract AN ABOVE-GROUND PORTABLE SWIMMING POOL STRUCTURE, WHICH CAN BE READILY ASSEMBLED AND DISASSEMBLED, IS DISCLOSED. THIS STRUCTURE, PREFERABLY OF ALL METAL COINSTRUCTION, FEATURES A SYSTEM OF CONTINUOUS TRUSSING WHICH MAKES THE STRUCTURE RIGID AND RESISTS THE BOWING EFFECT OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURES. ELEMENTS OF THE TRUSS INCLUDE INTERLOCKED VERTICAL SECTIONS, WHICH DEFINE WALLS OF A CAVITY IN WHICH A WATER-IMPERMEABLE LINER IS RECEIVED, INTERLOCKED HORIZONTAL SECTIONS, WHICH CONSTITURE A PERIMETRICAL DECKING ABOUT THE TOP OF THE CAVITY, AND VARIOUS BRACES AND CONNECTING BEAMS. THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE IS CARRIED ON A GROUND BEARING BEAM WHICH ANCHORS THE TRUSS AND GENERALLY DEFINES THE PERIMETER OF THE CAVITY. THE VERTICAL WALL SECTIONS AND HORIZONTAL DECKING SECTIONS ARE PREFERABLY IDENTICAL IN CROSS-SECTION AND THE PARTICULAR CROSS-SECTIONS UTILIZED FOR THESE AND OTHERS OF THE MEMBERS RESULT IN ECONOMIES. A FENCE MAY BE PROVIDED ABOUT THE PERIMETER OF THE DECK. A SPECIAL CLIP WHICH COOPERATES WITH THE PANELS OF DECKING AND WALL SECTIONS IS ALSO DISCLOSED.
