Description

[0030] Further advantages, features, properties and aspects of the present invention are the subject of the following description. Preferred embodiments are represented by schematic figures. These serve for a simple understanding of the invention.

[0031] FIG. 1 shows a storage basket according to the invention in a perspective view,

[0032] FIG. 2 shows a storage basket according to the invention in a side view,

[0033] FIG. 3 shows a storage basket according to the invention in a side view,

[0034] FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of a hanging bracket,

[0035] FIG. 5 shows a storage basket according to the invention in plan view,

[0036] FIG. 6 shows a storage basket according to the invention in front view and

[0037] FIG. 7 shows a storage basket according to the invention in rear view.

[0038] In the figures, the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar components, even if a repeated description is omitted for reasons of simplification.

[0039] FIG. 1 shows a storage basket 1 according to the invention in a perspective view. The storage basket 1 has a substantially rectangular base body 2 which is open at the top. The base body 2 has a hole-like structure, with the holes 3 ensuring that water inside the storage basket 1 can drain off.

[0040] The storage basket 1 also has two hanging brackets 4 which are each arranged at the end of the storage basket 1.

[0041] It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the hanging brackets 4 are each formed from a shaft 5 and a bracket 6. The hanging brackets 4 are each detachably coupled to the base body 2 of the storage basket 1 at the upper and lower end of the shaft 5. The storage basket 1 is hung on the hanging bracket 4 on a peripheral tubular frame 7 of an above-ground pool.

[0042] The hanging brackets 4 also have spacers 8 in the form of spring means. The storage basket 1 is held at a distance L1 from the pool wall 9 via the spacers 8, so that the storage basket 1 is hung in a substantially horizontal orientation. The pool wall 9 is fixed here and runs substantially vertically. The storage basket 1 is arranged with its base 2 on the outside of the above-ground pool.

[0043] The hanging brackets 4 have snap-in openings 11 in a region 10 of their shaft 5. The spacer 8 is connected to the shaft 5 of the hanging bracket 4 at its lower end 12. At its upper end 13, the spacer 8 is detachably coupled to the uppermost snap-in opening 11 viewed in the vertical direction. The spacer 8 rests against the pool wall 9 at the point of its maximum bulge 14. This ensures that the storage basket is oriented substantially horizontal.

[0044] The storage basket 1 also has an upper peripheral frame 15 which has increased torsional rigidity. This increases the basic stability of the storage basket 1.

[0045] The hanging brackets 4 have a slight shoulder 16 in particular in the inner curve of the bracket 6. The shoulder 16 divides the bracket 6 into two regions which are at different distances from the base body 2 of the storage basket 1. The tubular frame 7 is arranged in the region with a smaller distance from the storage basket 1.

[0046] FIG. 3 shows that when the spacer 8 is arranged in the lowermost snap-in opening 11 in the vertical direction, the distance L2 between the maximum bulge 14 and the shaft 5 of the storage basket 1 is greater than the distance L1 in the arrangement shown in FIG. 2. In this way, the respective distance L1, L2 can be adapted to the respective embodiment of the above-ground pool and it is ensured that the storage basket 1 is always hung in a substantially horizontal orientation.

[0047] The pool wall 9 is flexible in FIG. 3 and has a curved profile. The spacer 8 automatically adapts to the contour of the pool wall 9. The tubular frame 7 is arranged here in the region of the bracket 6 that is further away from the storage basket 1.

[0048] The spring principle of the spacer 8 is shown in FIG. 4. If the pool wall 9 is pressed outwards from its starting position (dashed line), the spacer 8 is deformed inwards (dashed line). In this way, the impact energy is cushioned and the storage basket 1 remains in its substantially horizontal orientation.

[0049] FIGS. 5 to 7 additionally show the storage basket according to the invention in a plan view and in a front and rear view.
