Abstract

A sheathed frame includes a support frame comprised of a plurality of interconnected support components, a pool liner comprising a pool bottom and a pool wall connected to an outer edge of the pool bottom and extending upward, an upper edge of said pool wall hanging on said support frame and disposed on an inside of said support frame, and at least one sheath disposed on a junction between at least two of said plurality of interconnected support components. Sheaths are respectively provided at the junction of a horizontal side pipe and a T-shaped pipe joint of the frame pool and the junction of a support pipe and the T-shaped pipe joint.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sheathed frame pool, comprising:
a support frame comprising a plurality of interconnected support components, wherein the plurality of interconnected support components comprise:
a plurality of horizontal side pipes, each of the horizontal side pipes comprising two ends, each of the two ends comprising a horizontal connecting portion;
a plurality of support pipes, an upper end of each of the support pipes comprising a vertical connecting portion; and
a plurality of T-shaped pipe joints, each of the T-shaped pipe joints comprising a horizontal portion and a perpendicular portion, the horizontal portion comprising two ends, the perpendicular portion being disposed on a lower end of each T-shaped pipe joint and being connected to the horizontal portion,
wherein, each horizontal side pipe is connected between the adjacent two T-shaped pipe joints to form a upper frame structure by the horizontal connecting portion being inserted into the horizontal portion,
wherein, each support pipe is connected to each T-shaped pipe joint to support the upper frame structure by the vertical connecting portion being inserted into the perpendicular portion, and wherein, the sheath is disposed on a horizontal junction of connecting the horizontal connecting portion and the horizontal portion and on a vertical junction of connecting the vertical connecting portion and the perpendicular portion, and a plurality of sleeves are disposed on a upper edge of the pool liner for disposing the pool liner on the upper frame structure;

at least one first fastened hole disposed on the horizontal connecting portion, at least one second fastened hole disposed on the vertical connecting portion, at least one third fastened hole disposed on the two ends of horizontal portion and the perpendicular portion respectively;
a pool liner comprising a pool bottom and a pool wall connected to an outer edge of the pool bottom and extending upward, an upper side of the pool wall hanging on the support frame and bei-Rg disposed on an inside of the support frame; and
at least one sheath disposed on a junction between at least two of the plurality of interconnected support components, wherein the sheath comprises:
a sheath body, the sheath body being a hollow pipe structure;
at least one fourth fastened hole, the least one fourth fastened hole being disposed on a pipe wall of the sheath body; and
at least one ring structure disposed on an outer surface of the sheath body.

2. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sheath is at least partially disposed between an inner surface of the horizontal portion and an outer surface of the horizontal connecting portion.

3. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sheath is at least partially disposed between an inner surface of the perpendicular portion and an outer surface of the vertical connecting portion.

4. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an annular fixing ring disposed on an edge of the fourth fastened hole the annular fixing ring being extended inwardly on the fourth fastened hole, the annular fixing ring being at least partially inserted into the first fastened hole.

5. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring structure is an annular convex rib connected to the sheath body, the annular convex rib being higher than the outer surface of the sheath body.

6. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring structure is of an O-shaped ring.

7. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the outer surface of the sheath body comprising at least one annular groove, the O-shaped ring is at least partially embedded in the annular groove, and the O-shaped ring is disposed above the outer surface of the sheath body.

8. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first end of the sheath body comprises a first annular limiting ring extending outwardly and being connected to the outer surface of the sheath body.

9. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a second end of the sheath body comprises a second annular limiting ring extending inwardly and being connected to an inner surface of the sheath body.

10. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sheath comprises
an extension portion, an upper end of the extension portion being connected to a lower end of the sheath body, a size and width of the extension portion gradually increasing from an top side to bottom side of the extension portion.

11. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of pins dispose on the interconnected support components, each of the pins being drilled through the first fastened hole, the third fastened hole and the fourth fastened hole to correspondingly fasten the horizontal side pipe, the T-shaped pipe joint and the sheath.

12. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the pins drill through the second fastened hole, the third fastened hole, and the fourth fastened hole to correspondingly fasten the horizontal side pipe, the T-shaped pipe joint and the sheath.

13. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 12 , wherein each of the pins comprises:
a pin body, the pin body being cylinder, and comprising at least two branches disposed on a lower end of the pin body;
a cover disposed on a top portion of the pm body and comprising an edge extending outwardly; and
a protrusion disposed on an outer side of the branches in tail ends.

14. The sheathed frame pool as claimed in claim 13 , wherein each of the pins comprises a bowl-shaped water retaining piece, the water retaining piece comprising a through hole, the pin body being inserted into the through hole, the bowl-shaped water retaining piece being disposed between the cover of the pin and an outer surface of the horizontal portion of the T-shaped pipe joint.
