SWIMMING POOL COPING Filed July 9, 1964 M r'lnm-n 'IIIIIIIIIII'IIIII INVENTOR. GEORGE F. A RP FIG. 5 v
HIS ATTORNEYS.
United States Patent 3,335,429 SWIMMING POOL COPING George F. Arp, 557 Whitney Road, Fairport, N.Y. 14450 Filed July 9, 1964, Ser. No. 381,500 8 Claims. (Cl. 4-172) This invention relates to a swimming pool coping and more particularly to a coping formed of a plurality of units each of which is a substantially rigid, hollow body molded of synthetic plastic material.
By coping of a swimming pool is intended the top edge of a pool above the water line and extending generally horizontally around the upper edge of the pool to form a border for the pool. The coping is the portion of the pool from which people customarily jump into the water, and is also that portion of the pool which can be gripped by swimmers as they climb out from the water. It is important that the coping be durable, safe, and attractive.
Previous copings have been formed of concrete, tile, wood, and steel, and have suffered many disadvantages including expense both of original installation and maintenance, and deterioration from fungus, termites, rust, and weather conditions such as frost and ice.
It is an object of this invention to make a swimming pool coping that is economical, durable, attractive, and safe.
Another object of the invention is to form a swimming pool coping of molded synthetic plastic material that has resistance to fungus, rust, termites, frost, ice, and other weather conditions.
Another object of the invention is to make a lightweight, hollow, molded plastic swimming pool coping that is embossed to provide a safety tread on its upper surface, and that can be snap fit in place around the edge of a pool.
Another object of the invention is to reduce the installation cost of swimming pool copings.
Another object of the invention is to make a swimming pool coping that is formed of standardized parts that are individually replacable.
Another object of the invention is to make a prefabricated swimming pool coping that can be mass produced economically and that is adapted for easy installation in a variety of swimming pools.
To these and other ends the invention resides in certain improvements and combinations, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, the novel features being pointed out in the claims at the end of the specification.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a swimming pool coping according to the invention as installed at the edge of a pool;
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a swimming pool coping formed of a plurality of members according to the invention;
FIG. 3 shows a side elevation of a plastic fastener by which a coping according to the invention can be secured to a swimming pool;
FIG. 4 shows a bottom view of a molded coping member according to the invention; and
FIG. 5 shows a top view of a molded coping member according to the invention.
Generally, a swimming pool coping according to the invention is formed of a plurality of molded members formed in convenient standardized sizes and secured in place around the edge of a swimming pool to form a continuous coping. A plurality of such prefabricated members 10 is shown in FIG. 2 arranged around the edge of a swimming pool containing water 11.
Each unit 10 of a coping according to the invention is preferably molded in one piece as for example by blow molding, and is formed of a synthetic plastic material, for example polyethylene. Synthetic plastic materials are advantageous for their light weight, economy, durableness, attractiveness, resistance to wear, insects, termites, fungus, and rusting, and their safety in being easily formable with non-slip treads and with rounded corners and edges. In addition, the natural resilience of these materials protects them from small movements caused by freezing of the pool or the earth or other materials surrounding it. Molded plastic coping members 10 according to the invention are thus undamaged by changes in temperature, are resistant to weather conditions, and are durable, safe, and attractive.
Each member 10 according to the invention is preferably formed as a generally closed, hollow body as best shown in FIG. 1 and having a bottom portion 17, a top 15 and end walls 25. A raised rounded inner edge 12 of the member 10 preferably extends over the water a small distance beyond the edge 13 of the pool Wall 14. Such location and shape of inner edge 12 of member 10 conceals and protects pool edge 13, provides an attractive curvature to the coping, and deflects back into the pool the waves or splashes of water that rise up the pool wall.
The top surface 15 of member 10 is preferably sloped away from the edge of the pool so that water splashed over the coping drains away from the pool rather than back into the pool thus tending to keep the pool free of dirt. Also, the upper surface of top 15 is preferably embossed such as by formation of small, longitudinal ridges 16 also shown in FIG. 5. Ridges 16, or other suitable embossed pattern can be incorporated into the die by which the member 10 is molded and provides a slightly uneven upper surface for member 10 that functions as a nonslip tread offering a sure footing for swimmers and also adds to the attractiveness of the coping without increasing its expense.
To strengthen and give rigidity to hollow molded member 10, its bottom portion 17 is formed with a plurality of preferably longitudinal ridges 18. As best shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, ridges 18 extend upwardly from base portion 17 toward top portion 15 and are secured to the underside of top portion 15. The sides of ridges 18 are preferably oblique to the base portion 17 and the upper surface of the pool wall 14 so as to brace top portion 15 and support it above base portion 17. Ridges 18 give substantial rigidity to molded member 10 and make it very strong yet light in weight. The tops of ridges 18 are preferably fused to the bottom of top portion 15 during the molding process to give maximum strength to the ridges and the member 10.
The coping member 10 according to the invention is preferably snap fit in place along the edge of a swimming pool, and its formation of synthetic plastic material having some resiliency allows such a snap fit. One preferred method for such a snap fitting of the member 10 in place is best shown in FIG. 1. Spherical headed screws 20 are driven into the upper surface of pool wall 14 so as to secure the spherical heads in place. The screws 20 are preferably self threading metal screws that secure themselves in many materials and can be retained in concrete with the aid of expanding sleeves 27. Holes 19 (also illustrated in the bottom view of FIG. 4) are arranged in the lowermost portions of bottom portion 17 to register with screws 20' the spherical heads of which can then be forced into holes 19 to retain the member 10 in place. Of course, the number and position and arrangement of holes can be varied, and other snap fasteners and other securing means can be used within the spirit of the invention.
An alternative fastener is illustrated in FIG. 3. It comprises a base portion 21 and a spherical head 22 and is adapted for securing coping member to steel walled pools. Base portion 21 is snapped into engagement with holes provided in the upper edge or flange portion 26 of a steel Walled pool, and apertures 19 in the base portion 17 of molded member 10 are pressed down over spherical heads 22 to snap fit coping member 10 in place and retain it at the edge of a pool.
Coping member 10 is preferably removable from spherical headed screws or fasteners or other snap fastening means by being forcibly snapped out of place. The preferred snap fasteners are sufficient for retaining coping member 10 securely in place during normal use and yet they permit forcible removal without damage to parts. Easy removal of coping member 16 and use of standardized parts allows replacement of any individual coping member, or removal and replacement of an entire coping with obvious economic advantage.
While the invention has been disclosed herein by reference to the details of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that such disclosure is intended in an illustrative, rather than a limiting sense, and it is contemplated that various modifications of the construction and arrangement of the parts will readily occur to those skilled in the art, within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
