Abstract

A frame pool having a plurality of vertical support tubes, a plurality of horizontal support tubes, a pool body comprising a pool bottom and a pool wall, and a reinforcing band having a continuous annular shape and provided between the inner side of the vertical support tubes and an outer surface of the pool wall. The reinforcing band entirely or partially covering the perimeter of the pool body and being fitted with the pool wall. A fixing band having a continuous annular shape is provided about an outer surface of the reinforcing band and of the vertical support tubes. At least one fixing device is fixedly coupled to the reinforcing band, wherein the fixing band passes through the fixing device.

Claims (33)

1. A pool comprising:

a pool body;

a pool frame comprising an annular frame supporting an upper edge of the pool body and a plurality of vertical supports connected to the annular frame and disposed outside an outer surface of the pool body;

an annular reinforcing band disposed around the outer surface of the pool body and extending between the outer surface of the pool body and each of the plurality of vertical supports; and

a fixing band disposed around the pool body such that a vertical support of the plurality of vertical supports is prevented from separation from the pool body by the fixing band;

wherein the fixing band is disposed vertically above at least a lowermost edge of the annular reinforcing band, and a width of the annular reinforcing band, in a vertical direction, is greater than a width of the fixing band in the vertical direction.

2. The pool according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of fixing devices, each coupling the fixing band to the pool body.

3. The pool according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fixing devices are each coupled to the pool body by high-frequency thermo-bonding.

4. The pool according to claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of fixing devices couples the fixing band to the pool body at a location between adjacent ones of the plurality of vertical supports.

5. The pool according to claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of fixing devices comprises an opening through which the fixing band extends.

6. A pool comprising:

a pool body;

a pool frame comprising an annular frame supporting an upper edge of the pool body and a plurality of vertical supports connected to the annular frame and disposed outside an outer surface of the pool body;

an annular reinforcing band disposed around the outer surface of the pool body and

a fixing band disposed around the pool body such that a vertical support of the plurality of vertical supports extends between the outer surface of the pool body and the fixing band;

wherein the fixing band is disposed around the annular reinforcing band.

7. The pool according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a plurality of fixing devices, each coupling the fixing band to the annular reinforcing band.

8. The pool according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of fixing devices are each coupled to the annular reinforcing band by high-frequency thermo-bonding.

9. The pool according to claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of fixing devices couples the fixing band to the annular reinforcing band at a location between adjacent ones of the plurality of vertical supports.

10. The pool according to claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of fixing devices comprises an opening through which the fixing band extends.

11. The pool according to claim 1 , wherein the annular frame comprises a plurality of horizontal support tubes and a plurality of connectors joining adjacent ones of the plurality of horizontal support tubes.

12. The pool according to claim 1 , wherein the pool body comprises a support tube sleeve disposed at the upper edge of the pool body, and the annular frame extends through the support tube sleeve.

13. The pool according to claim 1 , wherein the annular reinforcing band is connected to the outer surface the pool body by a high-frequency thermo-bond.

14. A pool comprising:

a pool body;

a pool frame comprising an annular frame supporting an upper edge of the pool body and a plurality of vertical supports connected to the annular frame and disposed outside an outer surface of the pool body;

an annular reinforcing band disposed around the outer surface of the pool body;

a fixing band disposed around the pool body such that a vertical support of the plurality of vertical supports extends between the outer surface of the pool body and the fixing band; and

a plurality of fixing devices, each coupling the fixing band to the annular reinforcing band, and each coupled to the annular reinforcing band by high-frequency thermo-bonding;

wherein the annular reinforcing band is connected to the outer surface of the pool body by a high-frequency thermo-bond.

15. The pool according to claim 1 , wherein the vertical support of the plurality of vertical supports extends between the outer surface of the pool body and at least a portion of the fixing band.
