| 20090235446 | MOVABLE FLOOR SYSTEM FOR SWIMMING POOL - A movable floor system for a swimming pool, including a structural platform comprising a horizontal frame designed to support a finished covering, the platform being designed to be installed in a cavity acting as the swimming pool. The system includes a lifting mechanism, a plurality of parallel crossmembers fixed within a layer formed by the frame of the platform; and a plurality of carrier pulleys located along outer lateral edges of the frame, the carrier pulleys designed to accommodate a platform-driving cable. The lifting mechanism further includes: a driver; a shaft; first and second drive pulleys situated at the ends of the shaft designed to take at least one platform-driving cable; an attachment to secure at least one cable in the cavity; and means for actuating the drive shaft. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100199416 | SELF-CONTAINED LIFTING MODULE FOR THE MOBILE BOTTOM OF A SWIMMING POOL - A lifting module for the mobile rigid bottom of a swimming pool, including: a) a driving housing controlling the immersion and lifting movements at a single point of the mobile bottom; b) at least one peripheral guiding member of the mobile bottom; c) at least one transmission member connected to the driving housing on the one hand and to the single point of the mobile bottom on the other hand, the lifting module being totally self-contained in that it is free of any mechanical link with any other lifting apparatus acting at another lifting point of the mobile bottom. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110131719 | MULTIPURPOSE BENDABLE POOL - A within-ground portable pool, particularly well suited as a sand pool in a beach environment is disclosed. Importantly, the portable pool has a bendable structure wherein children can develop creative skills by bending the structure into various shapes and designs. Additionally, multiple pools can be joined together optionally according to the imagination of a user. A novel sun shade design is also provided to the sand pool. More features are also included for stability and entertainment. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110209281 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RAPID AND CONTROLLED ELEVATION OF A RAISABLE FLOOR FOR POOLS - A rapid elevation floor system for a pool at least partially filled with pool water, including a raisable floor for disposing over the bottom of the pool. The raisable floor is combined of a plurality of modular floor elements, at least some of which include a ballasting receptacle. The ballasting receptacle is adapted to receive and discharge a volume of a flotation fluid lighter than the pool water, enabling the pool water to occupy any part of the volume when unoccupied by the flotation fluid. When the raisable floor is disposed beneath the surface of the pool water, the amount of the flotation fluid contained in the raisable floor is adjusted to render the specific weight of the raisable floor as equal to, or as slightly greater than the specific weight of the pool water, such that pumping of the flotation fluid into the ballasting receptacle(s) urges a rapid elevation of the raisable floor. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120131742 | Mobile floor for swimming pool - A mobile floor device for a swimming pool including a stationary floor, standing lateral walls, a mobile floor and a mechanism for pulling said mobile floor. The pulling mechanism includes cables and drivers driving the cables in one direction or in a reverse direction. Each cable having a first end connected to the mobile floor and a second end connected to the swimming pool. For each cable, at least one driver drives a maximum of one cable. The drivers are attached either to the swimming pool or to the mobile floor with the lengths of the cables between the drivers and the mobile floor and the swimming pool, respectively, being substantially equal to one another. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20130269097 | SWIMMING POOL SAFETY APPARATUS AND METHOD - A swimming pool safety system, and method, uses a preservation mechanism that lifts a human-sized object from within a swimming pool to a top surface of the swimming pool. An underwater detection array detects the human-sized object within the swimming pool and generates a detection data. A preservation controller actuates the preservation mechanism in response to an automatic actuation signal that was generated based on the detection data so as to actuate the preservation mechanism to lift the human-sized object above the top surface of the swimming pool. | 10-17-2013 |
| 20140165281 | SECURITY SYSTEM FOR ARTIFICIAL WATER BODIES - The embodiments herein provide a security system for a water body. The system includes a reticular structure arranged on a ground level, an electromotor, an electro hydraulic circuit with a plurality of hydraulic components placed in the water body, a central controlling unit, and a remote controller. A pressing operation of the remote controller transfers a command to the central controlling unit which in turn sends a control command to the plurality of hydraulic components to arrange the reticular structure at a required height in the water body. The reticular structure is moved vertically in a direction along the depth/height of the water body to a desired height based on the requirements. A wristband with a sensor worn by a swimmer measures the pulse rate and outputs an alarm to control unit to move the reticular structure to safe level, when the measured pulse rate exceeds a threshold value. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140208500 | SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING SURFACE LEVEL - A system for adjusting surface level, including a moveable surface, at least two structures adapted to be disposed between and coupled to the moveable surface and a fixed surface, a single force transfer mechanism configured to be coupled to the at least one of the at least two structures for displacement of the moveable surface relative to the fixed surface. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20150059078 | MOVING BOTTOM FOR SWIMMING POOL - A moving floor ( | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150107014 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RAPID AND CONTROLLED ELEVATION OF A RAISABLE FLOOR FOR POOLS - A method for assembling a rapid elevation floor system in a pool, the method comprising the stages of: assembling a raisable floor inside said pool and adding sensors to said raisable floor, and connecting said raisable floor platform to auxiliary units. The method further comprises laying flooring tiles on said raisable floor and sinking said raisable floor to a bottom of said pool. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20150292220 | SWIMMING POOL WITH ADJUSTABLE POOL FLOOR SYSTEM - The invention relates to an adjustable swimming pool floor system ( | 10-15-2015 |
| 20160186455 | SUBMERSIBLE SWIMMING POOL DECK - A retrofit, submersible swimming pool deck deployable in existing swimming pools without altering the pool infrastructure. The submersible deck includes: (a) a panel, which is configured to be moved reversibly between a lowered state that is substantially parallel to a floor of the swimming pool and a raised state that is substantially flat and horizontal; and (b) at least one motor, operationally coupled to the panel, wherein the motor is configured to effect the reversible movement of the panel between the lowered state and the raised state, and wherein said panel includes a first portion and a second portion that are pivotable relative to each other. | 06-30-2016 |
