- Means on the deck enclosure are engaged with the swimming pool to hold the deck closely adjacent the upper end of the swimming pool for limited relative movement in a vertical direction but permit relative horizontal movement of 4/ l 72. 19 the deck enclosure and swimming pool during use thereof.
- On-ground pools generally comprise an integrated wall for the pool and deck assembly with the structural strength being developed by the integrated parts.
- the sidewall of the pool may,'in fact, carry the deck assembly and the deck assembly may tension the sidewall of the pool so as to enable it to resist the pressures acting thereon.
- such onground pools generally have a deck assembly extending completely thereabout and the assembly thereof is both costly and relatively difficult. Deterioration of any of the parts can materially reduce the overall structural strength of the pool.
- the pool structure is self-supporting but there has been a recent tendency to provide deck areas about all or a portion thereof to facilitate comfortable utilizationof the pool area.
- the deck assembly has been supported at least partially upon the supporting structure for the swimming pool itself, introducing some of the same problems as may be found with on-ground pools, although the deck structure does not comprise an essential element of the structural integrity of the swimming pool itself.

- ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT deck generally designated by the numeral 12
- a peripheral wall portion generally, designated by the numeral 14 and extending downwardly fromthe deck 12
- a fence or rail assembly generally designated by the numeral 16 extending upwardly from the periphery of the deck 12.
- Door assemblies, generally designated by the numeral 18, project outwardly from both sides of the wall portion 14 at locations approximately midway along the length thereof, and the door assemblies 18 have triangular end panels 20 and hingedly mounted doors 22 providing access to the enclosed area beneath the deck 12.
- a hinged gate 24 is provided in the fence 16 to per.- mit access to the surface of the deck 12 and to the pool 10, and a removable ladder 26 leading to the gate 24 is mounted against the peripheral wall portion 14.
- the pooll0 comprises a bottom rail or member 28 resting upon the ground 30, in which is seated a continuous metal sidewall 32 (normally vertically corrugated for rigidity in that direction) defining the configuration of the pool 10.
- the peripheral edge portion of a flexible plastic liner 34 is fitted over the upper edge of the sidewall 32, and is clamped in that position by the Ushaped coping strip 36, so that vertical support is provided for the sidewall of the liner 34 by the sidewall 32.
- the sidewall 32 is, in turn, supported by a multiplicity of vertical posts or vertical support members 33 spaced thereabout (only one of which is shown), and other mechanical members may also be present to provide positive locating action for the sidewall 32 and added support therefor, and to minimize undue deflection so that the pool 10 is supported entirely independently of the remaining portions of the overall structure.
- An upper rail 38 extends about the periphery of the pool 10 and receives the upper edge of the sidewall 32, and comprises a multiplicity of individual rail members that are supported and securely fastened upon the upper ends of the posts 33. Any suitable means may be utilized to secure the top and bottom rail members to the vertical posts to provide a unified structure, the constructions described in the phantom linerepresentation of the upper rail 38 thereof.
- the support assembly includes a footing or bottom horizontal support member 40 made up of a multiplicity of assembled separate elements joined togetherand at the corners by appropriate brackets 42.
- the majority of the braces consist of vertical and horizontal support members 44 and 46 respectively, joined at their ends to form a right angle configuration, with the free ends thereof connected by a diagonal brace or support member 48; certain of the braces omit the vertical support member 44 where they would interfere with posts 33 for the pool 10, and, similarly, certain braces omit the elongated horizontal members 46 where their presence is not necessary.
- the lower ends of the braces are affixed to the footing 40, and angle plates 50 project outwardly from the upper ends thereof, for a purpose to be more fully explained hereafter.
- Four corner braces 51 are provided to give added support to the structure in those areas.
- the infrastructure for the door assemblies 18 is somewhat different from that previously described.
- Outwardly extending footing elements or bottom support members 52 are joined at one end by brackets 42 to the footing 40 of the main portion of the deck enclosure and to one another at the opposite ends by spacer bars 54.
- diagonal brace members 48 in the door infrastructures extend upwardly and inwardly toward the deck 12 to provide added strength, and additional spacer bars 54' are used to tie together the ends of the diagonal brace members 48 and the vertical support member 44 of the intermediate brace thereof.
- the gular deck 12 with a generally oval opening 58.
- The'opening 58 is noncentrally or asymmetrically located in the deck 12 to provide an enlarged deck area 60 at one end, and it is dimensional and configured to approximatethe configuration of the pool and to provide an inwardly extending area thereabout, as is best seen in FIG. 5.
- each pair of adjacent sections 56 has a tongue 62 and the other has a corresponding groove 64 for interengagement thereof in a conventional manner.
- Elongated angle irons or depending flanges 66 are secured to the underside of each of the sections 56, and these are joined together by nuts 68 and bolts 70 to integrate the sections 56 into the unified deck structure 12.
- right angle locating members 72 are secured to the underside of the deck sections 56 adjacent the ends of the pool 10 to provide flange elements 74 depending vertically therefrom.
- Upwardly opening channel members 76 are affixed adjacent the upper ends of the posts 33 in positions corresponding to the locating members 72, and the deck 12 and post 33 are situated so that the flange elements 74 extend downwardly into the channels 78 of the channel members 76 behind the forward, upwardly projecting flanges 79 thereof.
- This arrangement of the locating members 72 and channel members 76 facilitates initial erection of the pool assembly in proper relationship and movement between the pool support assembly and the deck 12 such as to accommodate deflection of the sidewall 32 of the pool 10. during use and differential expansion and contraction. As a result, the natural movement of the pool 10 will not weaken or otherwise harm the enclosure structure, since each is supported independently of the other and they are not rigidly interlocked.
- FIGS. l-ll FIG. 9 showing a square, hollow interior fence post 80 having upper and lower apertures 82 for receiving square connecting rods 84 inserted horizontally therethrough.
- the end of an elongated channeled cap 86 is fastened to each side of the upper connecting rod 84,- and the end of an elongated, U-shaped channeled support member 88 is similarly fastened to each side of the lower connecting rod 84', screws 90 being employed for that purpose.
- the cap 86 and support member 88 seat a multiplicity of horizontally corrugated fence panels 92 in the channels thereof, and each of the fence panels 92 has a vertical guard member 94 on each end thereof to enhance the appearance peripheral wall portion 14.
- the panels 118 are secured against the diagonal brace members 48 by vertical cleat members 120 which are bolted through the panels 118 to the brace members 48.
- a generally J" or hook-shaped bracket is secured by suitable fastener 130 against the underside of the section 56 of the deck '12.
- the bracket 128 has a horizontally extending portion 131 with an upwardly turned portion 132 at its free end, thereby providing the bracket 128 with the generally hook-shaped configuration.
- the top rail 38 secured in a manner previously described to the vertical posts 33, has a downwardly opening channel 136 therein bounded by longitudinally extending reversely bent portions 134.
- the horizontal portion 131 of the bracket 128 seats under the outer reversely bent portion 134 of the rail 38 with the upwardly turned portion 132 thereof extending into the channel 136 behind the reversely bent portion 134.
- top and bottom caps 96, 98 are frictionally engaged in the upper and lower ends of the fence post 80, respectively, a U-spacer 100 having been inserted into the lower end before placement of the cap 98 to avoid crushing of the post 80 when it is tightened against the remaining structure to join it thereto.
- corner fence posts 102 are most clearly shown in FIG. 10, the primary difference being the location of the apertures 82 in adjacent rather than opposite sides of the post 102 to permit the corner construction to be made.
- a corner bracket 104 is employed for mounting of the posts 102, and this is also best shown in FIG. 10.
- an angled outer coping strip 106 is applied thereabout and is held in place by the bolts 108 securing the posts 80 and by the bolts 110 securing the corner brackets 104.
- an elongated angle iron 112 is secured adjacent the outer edge ofthe deck 12 above the door assemblies 18 to unify further and strengthen the structure thereat.
- FIG. 11 shows the arrangement used to secure interior posts 80 that do not align with an infrastructure brace and hence do not have available to them an angle plate for attachment.
- a short length of angle iron 114 having an inwardly bent tab 116 is secured to the underside of a deck section 56, the tab 116 having apertures through which the bolts 1.08 may pass and be secured.
- 'FIG. 12 illustrates the manner in which ribbed wall panels 118 are affixed to extend from adjacent the deck 12 to the bottom of the support assembly to provide the ground, but also to the type of swimming pool wherein part of the bottom wall may extend below ground level; however, it is particularly advantageously employed with the former type of pool.
- the assemblies embodying the invention may employ pools that have fully'rigid sidewalls-and pools with circular, rectangular arid FIG. 8 configurations.
- the present invention may originate in a number of ways, but most vcommonly movement in the horizontal direction will be caused by the pressure of water acting against. the sidewall during use and during filling which tends to produce a force acting upon' the lower portion of the sidewall in a manner to move it outwardly and upwardly; obvi-' ously, this in turn tends to change the configuration of the upper periphery of the sidewall.
- the outer sources of movement are the effects of ground swells, frost heaves, and the like due to changing thermal conditions.
- the bottom wall of the pool will normally be providedsimply by that portion of a plastic liner that extends across the ground area enclosed by the sidewall.
- the sidewall may comprise a series of unified rigid panels, normally it will be provided by a continuous relatively light gauge sheet of corrugated steel or aluminum that is flexible in the horizontal direction to facilitate assembly and shipment thereof.
- the deck will usually be of wooden construction (e.g. of plywood, redwood planks, etc.), and it will desirably be prefabricated as modules or sections, because such construction enhances the efficiency and economy of manufacture and facilitates assembly at the pool site.
- the aperture or opening in the deck should be configured to correspond to the adjacent portion of the sidewall (in cross section), but it will desirably be somewhat smaller to result in an inwardly projecting lip or overhanging portion.
- the lip is important to provide a substantially unified structure free of dangerous gaps, and it also affords a convenient surface for the attachment of coping strips or the like, which may extend downwardly therefrom in front of the peripheral edge of the tank primarily to mask it and improve the appearance of the structure.
- the support assemblies for both the swimming pool and the deck structure may be quite conventional and, as is shown in the drawings, may include horizontal, vertical, diagonal and other types of members.
- the most significant aspect of the support assemblies is that each provides independent support for either the deck or the pool so that neither relies upon the other for any significant amount of support. As has been pointed out previously, this permits relative movement between the adjacent portions of the tank and the deck without damage or distortion of one by the other. It is particularly desirable that door assemblies be provided in the underlying support assembly for the deck to provide storage areas for equipment, chemicals, etc., in a very convenient manner.
- the means that is used to limit relative displacement between the pool support assembly and the deck may be very simple and may be provided by a variety of configurations and materials; normally, the limiting means will be comprised of a multiplicity of individual elements secured to the deck at locations spaced about the pool.
- the hook-shaped elements illustrated are particularly preferred as the limiting means because they are relatively inexpensive to produce, simple to install in cooperation with rails of existing design, and they effectively provide the sort of limited movement that is desired. Nevertheless, different configurations may be employed, and the element secured to the deck may engage other portions of the pool support assembly such as the posts or elements affixed thereto for that purpose.
- the locating means is desirably included as an. element of the present pool assembly to ensure proper alignment of the parts upon initial or subsequent erection.
- the positioning means illustrated also has cooperative vertically extending elements whichservetoassistthe limiting means in restrictin the degree of horizontal movement between the pool and the deck.
- the present invention provides an enclosed swimming pool assembly for substantially above ground installation, wherein the swimming pool and deck structure are each self-supporting but are interengaged in a manner to permit limited relative movement therebetween.
- a peripheral wall is provided about the deck structure so as to create a highly attractive appearance and to provide a storage area for materials and equipment inwardly thereof.
- the components of the swimming pool assembly may be readily and independently erected, and repair may be made thereto with relative ease.
- An enclosed swimming pool assembly for substantially above ground installation and permitting limited relative movement of the components thereof comprising:
- A. a self-supporting swimming pool including: (1) a bottom wall, (2) a sidewall extending upwardly ,therefromabout the periphery of said bottom wall, and (3) a support assembly including (a) a multiplicity of vertically disposed support members outwardly of said sidewall and providing lateral support therefor;
