In order to prolong the swimming period as much as possible, a roof is installed in the pool to avoid wind and rain and chill, allowing 120 days or more to swim regardless of the weather.

In such a roof, for example, the entire surface of a frame made of steel frames that are erected in parallel with a plurality of sloping beams extending from the top ridge on both sides and columns connected near both ends of the roof is spaced apart. It is covered with a tent.

To cover such an awning, the awning is connected to one end of a rope stretched in advance along the beam and the other end of the rope is pulled to pull it up, or after the worker climbs up the beam and pulls up the awning. It is done by hand-drawing and unfolding. However, when handling the awning, there was a problem that it required a strong force due to the friction between the skeleton and the awning, and the awning was torn due to being caught by the skeleton, and those who work in high places were at risk. .

Since this roof is provided seasonally according to the period of use of the pool, it is preferable that the awning can be detached, but the detaching operation is troublesome. On the other hand, if the awning is covered all year long, it will be deteriorated and damaged due to long-term exposure to wind and rain or direct sunlight.

FIG. 2 is a partial side view showing the main part in the vicinity of one of the rows. As shown in FIG. 2, the frame column 15
Two rollers 30 are axially supported above and below the side surface of the roller. The rollers 30 are mounted on the rail 12 separately.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the structure of the rail 12 and the roller 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the rail 12 is a substantially C-shaped rail steel having a groove 31. The groove 31 faces the frame column 15. A roller 30 is mounted on the inside of the rail 12.
An axle 32 is inserted into the roller 30 with a slight allowance in a hole formed in the shaft center, and the tip of the axle 32 penetrating from the roller 30 is caulked with a fastener 34. The axle 32 projects from the groove 31 and is welded to the axle seat 33. The roller 30 is axially supported by the frame support 15 by welding the shaft pedestal 33 to the frame support 15.

The other one row has a similar structure. Since the frame columns 15 and 17 are uprightly supported by the rails 12 and 14 via the rollers 30, the stability is good.

The frame beams 16 straddling the pool 22 are supported by the frame columns 15 and 17 in the respective rows in the vicinity of both ends thereof. A deformation preventing wire 21 is attached to the frame beam 16 so as not to be distorted. The frame beam 16
Multiple items are lined up. The frame beam 16 can be moved by rollers 30. To prevent the frame beam 16 and the adjacent frame beam from being separated, the frame beam 1
The vertices of 6 are connected to each other by an inter-beam wire 24. Further, the frame columns are connected to each other by the inter-column wires 23.

As shown in FIG. 2, an interior panel plate 25 may be attached to the side surface of the pillars 11 and 13 facing the pool 22.

The operation of the pool awning covering equipment 1 will be described. During the period in which the pool 22 is not used, the frame columns 15 and 17 and the frame beams 16 are stored in two hangars 2 in half. When the pool 22 is in use, it is withdrawn from the hangar 2.

First, when a force is applied horizontally to the two frame columns 15 and 17 in the forefront of one of the housings 2 toward the other housings, the respective frame columns 15 and 17 axially support each other. Rolling roller 30 rolls inside rails 12 and 14. Then, the frame columns 15 and 17 and the frame beams 16 supported by the frame columns 15 and 17 are pulled out from the hangar 2. If it continues further, the inter-beam wire 24 and the inter-post wire 23 that have hung down become tense, and the adjacent frame beam and frame post are pulled and pulled out by this wire. Then, the frame beams and the frame columns stored in the back are sequentially drawn out. At the same time, the awning 20, which was folded into a folding screen between the frame beams when it was stored, also became tense in sequence. Almost pulled out,
Do the same from another hangar. The frame beams that were stored at the front in both hangars are butted against each other. Thereby, the pool 22 can be covered with the awning 20.

When the use period of the pool 22 is over, a horizontal force is applied to the frame column toward the storage where it was stored. Then, the frame column and the frame beam are pushed into the storage 2 and stored.

With this facility, the pool may be stored when it is used in the midsummer or fine weather, and pulled out in the rain or before and after the summer when the outside temperature is low.
