摘要： A swimming pool is constructed from a compressed body of the type formed from an open cup-shaped flexible membrane having a bottom and a side wall connected to the bottom; an upper portion of the side wall of the cup-shaped flexible membrane folded externally over a lower portion of the side wall to define an outer chamber between the upper and lower portions of the side wall, the outer chamber being open adjacent the bottom of the cup-shaped flexible membrane; a plurality of substantially rigid supports inserted in the outer chamber; and the folded side wall being compressed toward a center of the cup-shaped flexible membrane. First, a base having a bottom wall and a shallow retaining wall extending around the periphery of the bottom wall and in liquid sealing contact therewith, is positioned on a flat surface. A liquid is then supplied to the base and the compressed body is positioned on the base within the shallow retaining wall such that the outer chamber opens into the liquid. Finally, the cup-shaped flexible membrane is filled with a fluid, to cause the folded side wall of the flexible membrane to be expanded outwardly until restrained by the shallow retaining wall of the base and to cause the liquid to at least substantially fill the outer chamber to provide additional rigidity to the expanded side wall.

摘要翻译： 游泳池是由开口的杯状柔性膜形成的压缩体构成的，该柔性膜具有连接到底部的底部和侧壁; 杯形柔性膜的侧壁的上部在侧壁的下部在外部折叠，以在侧壁的上部和下部之间限定外部室，外部室邻近底部 杯状柔性膜; 多个基本上刚性的支撑件，其插入在所述外室中; 并且折叠的侧壁朝向杯形柔性膜的中心被压缩。 首先，具有底壁和围绕底壁的周边延伸并且与其液体密封接触的浅的保持壁的底座位于平坦的表面上。 然后将液体供应到基部，并且压缩体定位在浅保持壁内的基部上，使得外室开口进入液体。 最后，杯状柔性膜填充有流体，以使柔性膜的折叠侧壁向外膨胀，直到被基底的较浅的挡土墙所约束，并使液体至少基本上填满外部 以向扩展的侧壁提供额外的刚性。
