Tent for swimming pools and outdoor areas

Abstract

An awning used to cover outdoor areas and to protect same from inclement weather. The awning can be transported and erected with ease and is also versatile as a result of the modular structural design thereof, which has a small number of components, including rods and suction cups for the rods. In addition to being lightweight and non-complex, this allows the structure to be adapted to various uses.

1 . Tent for swimming pools and outdoor areas characterized by having a structure composed of tubular rods ( 9 ) that, when fitted and threaded together, form long, articulated and removable rods ( 3 ), in whose lower ends ( 7 ) are coupled, at least, one suction cup ( 10 ) for each rod ( 3 ); the suction cups ( 10 ) are capable of operating in submerged or dry conditions and are also capable of attaching the entire structure of the tent to one or more internal faces of a swimming pool. 
     
     
         2 . Tent for swimming pools and outdoor areas according to  claim 1 , characterized by having a structure of customizable size according to the number of tubular rods ( 9 ) comprised by each of the rods ( 3 ). 
     
     
         3 . Tent for swimming pools and outdoor areas according to  claim 2 , characterized by having a dome-shaped structure composed of four large articulated and flexed arc shaped rods ( 3 ), whose upper ends are joined by a fixing element forming the top of the dome ( 1 ); said dome top ( 1 ) comprising a flexible, opaque fabric ( 2 ); the other four lower ends ( 7 ) are fixed to the side walls of a swimming pool using suction cups ( 10 ), forming the horizontal base of the structure. 
     
     
         4 . Tent for swimming pools and outdoor areas according to  claim 3 , characterized by the fact that the four lower ends of the rods ( 7 ) are introduced directly into the ground without the presence of suction cups; a ring ( 4 ) is attached to each of the lower ends to which an end of an elastic ( 5 ) is attached, the second end of which is attached to the fabric ( 2 ) covering, the structure; the base of this structure is delimited by an X-shaped ribbon ( 8 ), the four ends of which have at least one eyelet ( 6 ) each, which are passed through each one of the lower ends ( 7 ) of the four rods ( 3 ). 
     
     
         5 . Tent for swimming pools and outdoor areas according to  claim 1 , characterized by comprising two L-shaped rods, each with two segments, a first segment ( 13 ) and a second segment ( 12 ), the first and the second segment of each rod being joined at an interface at 90 degrees ( 15 ) with each other; the rods are joined in their first segments ( 13 ) by a pivot point ( 14 ), which allows the rotation of one rod in relation to the other in a plane parallel to the internal face of the swimming pool; the second segments ( 12 ) are arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular to the internal face of the swimming pool; the space between the second segments houses a flexible and opaque fabric ( 11 ); the angularity between the two first segments ( 13 ) can be adjusted; each first segment ( 13 ) comprising a lower end ( 16 ) disposed in the opposite direction to the interface with the second segment, said lower end ( 16 ) is each inserted in at least one suction cup ( 10 ) capable of operating in dry conditions or submerged way.
