| 20110215038 | Solar Powered skimmer for a swimming pool - The skimmer has a conveyor belt which travels in ascending and descending paths. The lower portion of the belt is adapted to be immersed in the water in a swimming pool for skimming debris floating on the surface of the water. The debris is carried upward by the belt and separates from the belt at its upper end. Any debris which does not separate from the belt is removed by a brush which contacts the belt as it travels in the descending path. The belt has perforations through which water passes. One or more solar panels activate, in hole or in part, the operation of the conveyor belt. The solar panels can be aimed at the sum whether it is high or low in the sky and once aimed, move at a rate which equals the observed rate of movement of the sun as it crosses the sky from morning to evening such that the solar panels continuously face the sun during daylight. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20130186812 | SWIMMING POOL SKIMMER LEAF RESTRAINT - Provided is a debris guard disposable in a pool to prevent debris floating on the surface of the water from entering the pool skimmer. The debris guard forms a barrier around the skimmer opening at the water surface to keep debris out of the skimmer to allow water to circulate through the skimmer and the water filter. In this regard, the debris guard does not significantly reduce or inhibit the flow rate of water flowing through the pool filtration system. | 07-25-2013 |
| 20130256203 | NET ASSEMBLY FOR POOL SKIMMER - A removable skimmer net assembly that securely sits within the mouth of any conventional pool skimmer to passively collect floating debris from the surface of the water. The skimmer net assembly includes a removable pool net and a skimmer mount having a telescoping column and a T-shaped net orientation connector. The telescoping column secures the mount within the mouth of the pool skimmer in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. The net orientation connector allows the removable net to be properly positioned within the pool regardless of the orientation of the telescoping column or the style of skimmer. The removable pool net is connected to the skimmer mount by a dove-tail joint that allows the net to be easily disconnected from the mount for cleaning or when the pool is in use. | 10-03-2013 |
| 20140158595 | Drag Pool Mesh Skimmer - The invention comprises a net stretched across the pool surface, either partially or completely, and either end attached to two pull chords. Each pull cord is operated by an individual. The upper edge of the net is attached to a float and the lower edge is weighted to ensure it submerges below the water surface. Two side edges of the net are incorporate a spreader bar to create separation between the top and bottom of the net to create maintain an opening to captures water surface debris. | 06-12-2014 |
| 20140231324 | Pool Skimmer Protector - A pool skimmer protector comprising a frame positioned in front of a pool skimmer, where the frame includes a top edge and a bottom edge; a screen attached to the top edge, where the screen rests flush against the frame; and a handle attached to a bottom edge of the screen, where the handle lifts the screen away from the pool skimmer to remove any debris collected on the screen. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20150053599 | Collector net and bracket for a pool filter - A collector net having a net section adjustably connected to a bracket section, wherein the bracket section is adapted to adjustably connect to a pool frame. The net section comprising a net member, a net frame attached to the net member, and a handle removably attached to the net frame and adjustably attached to the bracket section. The bracket section has a first bracket member telescopically inserted within a second bracket member, and a threaded nut adapted to hold the first and second bracket members in a desired position and length, wherein the second bracket member includes a pair of legs separated along a length thereof a distance such that the bracket section is adapted to be placed stably upon the pool frame, and a strap member adapted to wrap around the second bracket member and the pool frame to thereby secure the bracket section to the pool frame. | 02-26-2015 |

| 210167200 | Having floating means | 4 |
| 20090152182 | REMOTE CONTROL POOL SKIMMER - A remote control pool skimmer for picking up surface debris, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises a pair of elongated buoyant hulls spaced from one another, each hull having a bow and a stern, and at least one cross member interconnecting the hulls to one another, a remotely controlled drive system connected to the pool skimmer for propelling the hulls across the surface of the water in a selected direction and a collection net spanning the space between the pair of hulls, the net being oriented in order to collect surface debris as the hulls move through the water. In terms of weight distribution from bow to stern, the hulls are weighted more toward the stern. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090188851 | STATIONARY POOL SKIMMING APPARATUS - The present invention is a stationary pool skimming apparatus that uses the flow of water in a pool to collect free flowing debris from the water in the pool. In one embodiment, a pool skimming apparatus for collecting debris from water in a pool includes a frame having a net attached thereto. A first end of the frame includes a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism is adapted for being connected to a skimmer port of the pool such that the frame and net extend into the pool in a manner enabling the net of the pool skimming apparatus to collect debris from the water in the pool. The compression mechanism operates in either of an inverted position and a non-inverted position. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100230336 | SURFACE SKIMMING DEVICE FOR POOLS - A pool skimming device comprising an outer body with an outlet to the pool pump line, a hollow mating member which floats within the outer body so that its top rim is at the surface of the pool and a litter basket which fits within the floating member. The device has an inlet to attach a pool suction device and the outer body has a backing plate which fits over the opening of the pool skimmer box which provides access to the pool pump line. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20120305461 | MOBILE POOL SKIMMER - A mobile skimmer that can be propelled by either human manipulation or wind power to capture debris floating on or near the surface of a body of liquid, and more particularly, a swimming pool. It further comprises a unique netted trap design to trap and retain debris even while floating freely in the water. A hinged buoyant flap has one end positioned below the surface of the water, with another end that moves above and below the surface depending on the movement of the skimmer, thereby collecting and trapping debris. A sail may be used to move the skimmer. | 12-06-2012 |
