20100163642 | FIXED FLOATING FOUNTAIN - A device locates a fountain assembly permanently at a specific desired location while the fountain assembly floats in a confined area, or to fix the fountain assembly at a selected height. A sleeve upon a frame supports fountain equipment as the sleeve moves vertically upon the pier as adjacent water levels change. The invention also provides a method of installing a fountain assembly within a water body where an installer uses an alignment guide and a mechanical means to embed a metallic pier in the bottom of the water body at a precise location. Then the installer places the fountain assembly onto the installed pier as a float provides neutral buoyancy for the assembly. The frame and float generally locate the nozzle of a fountain proximate the surface of the water body with the remainder of the fountain equipment being submerged. | 07-01-2010 |
20110150578 | FIXED FLOATING FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION METHOD - A method positions and installs a support for a fountain assembly permanently at a specific location and elevation relative to a water body at an amusement park, hotel, or resort. The method utilizes a crane equipped vessel to deploy a support over the desired location. The vessel has its location determined from position fixing instruments and then an installer positions the vessel precisely. The method then has an installer lift the support plumb and above the water body. The method next rotates the support to embed it into the bed of a water body. Rotation stops when the head of the support becomes coplanar with the surface of the water body. The support then receives framework for fountains while remaining concealed beneath the water. | 06-23-2011 |
