ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a swimming pool, more particularly to an inflatable swimming pool with a sun shield.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional inflatable swimming pool assembly for children generally includes a pool that is made of a flexible material and that has a flat bottom and a peripheral wall which cooperates with the bottom to define a water receiving space therebetween so that children can play with water within the pool.
However, in case, the pool is exposed under the sun, the children playing therein may suffer from sunburn due to prolonged exposure to the sun.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide an inflatable swimming pool with a sun shield so as to avoid the drawbacks that generally result from the use of the conventional inflatable swimming pool assembly.
Accordingly, an inflatable swimming pool assembly of the present invention includes an inflatable swimming pool with a peripheral wall that has a top surface, a first half and a second half. A sun shield has a flexible sunshade portion with two opposite sides, which are formed respectively with a curved first inflatable tube and a curved second inflatable tube. The first inflatable tube has two ends that are respectively in fluid communication with two ends of the second inflatable tube at two intersections. Two fastener units attach respectively the intersections of the sun shield to two diametrically opposed portions of the top surface of the peripheral wall of the pool. Thus, the sun shield can rotate on the top surface of the peripheral wall about a connecting line of the intersections between a first position, where the first inflatable tube rests entirely on the first half of the pool, and where the second inflatable tube forms an angle with the top surface of the peripheral wall, and a second position, where the second inflatable tube rests entirely on the second half of the pool and where the first inflatable tube forms an angle with the top surface of the peripheral wall of the pool.
