Abstract

Abstract A swimming pool having side walls and a floor formed of drawn aluminum profile members which are bonded with one another. Each profile member having an essentially rectangular cross-sectional configuration, the lengthwise sides of which are extended at one end and at the other end having a tapered section for the introduction of the neighboring profile member between such wall extensions. The edges between a respective side wall and the floor are formed by profile rod members which in cross-section possess a quadratic or square configuration and which at two neighboring surfaces possess a respective pair of flanges for receiving an end of a profile member and which flanges are arranged perpendicular to the associated surface. The edges between each two side walls are formed by round or arcuate profile members which in cross-section are quarter circular shaped, and which possess at each side a planar or flat flange pair for receiving the end of the profile members which form a respective side wall. For connecting the round profile members with the floor and with two respective closure profile members placed upon the edge of the pool, there is provided a respective lower and upper connection bracket.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 211 words
A swimming pool having side walls and a floor formed of drawn aluminum profile members adhesively bonded with one another, said profile members possessing an essentially rectangular crosssectional configuration and the lengthwise extending sides of which have extensions at one end and at the other end possess a tapered section for the introduction of a neighboring profile member between such wall extensions, profile rod members possessing a substantially square cross-sectional configuration for forming the edges between each side wall and the floor, said profile rod members possessing at two neighboring surfaces a respective pair of flanges arranged perpendicular to the associated surface for the reception of one end of a profile member, the edges between each two respective side walls being formed by round profile members which in cross-section possess the shape of a quarter of a circle, said round profile members being provided at one side with a substantially flat flange pair for receiving the ends of the profile members forming a respective side wall, closure profile members provided at the upper region of the side walls, and a respective lower and upper connection bracket for connecting the round profile members with the floor and with each two respective closure profile members mounted upon the edge of the pool respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 211 words
A swimming pool having side walls and a floor formed of drawn aluminum profile members adhesively bonded with one another, said profile members possessing an essentially rectangular crosssectional configuration and the lengthwise extending sides of which have extensions at one end and at the other end possess a tapered section for the introduction of a neighboring profile member between such wall extensions, profile rod members possessing a substantially square cross-sectional configuration for forming the edges between each side wall and the floor, said profile rod members possessing at two neighboring surfaces a respective pair of flanges arranged perpendicular to the associated surface for the reception of one end of a profile member, the edges between each two respective side walls being formed by round profile members which in cross-section possess the shape of a quarter of a circle, said round profile members being provided at one side with a substantially flat flange pair for receiving the ends of the profile members forming a respective side wall, closure profile members provided at the upper region of the side walls, and a respective lower and upper connection bracket for connecting the round profile members with the floor and with each two respective closure profile members mounted upon the edge of the pool respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
The swimming pool as defined in claim 1, wherein each round profile member consists of two partial profiles which in cross-section possess the shape of a quarter of a circle, said partial profiles having webs at the sides confronting one another for increasing the strength and for mutually supporting one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 64 words
The swimming pool as defined in claim 1, wherein each of the lower connection brackets possesses two pins which are perpendicular to one another and over which there can be pushed a respective profile rod member, and a flange pair for the end of a floor profile as well as two quarter circular-shaped flexed flanges disposed pependicular thereto for receiving a round profile member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
The swimming pool as defined in claim 1, wherein each of the upper connection brackets likewise has two substantially quarter circular-shaped flexed flanges disposed perpendicular thereto for receiving a round profile member and two projections which are perpendicular to one another and which can be pushed into a respective closure profile member.
