I've found that with operation beneath pool covers, the tendency of floating pool cleaning gadgets to grasp up on obstructions is elevated and/or magnified. Specifically, the rollers 16 of the respective casters E1, E2 bear against the underside pool cowl 20. In encountering vertical obstacles, such as ladder 23, peripheral wheel 40 on caster E2 over rear portion B and Privacy Policy the aspect edges of housing D at border 41, forty two guarantee easy passage. That is preferred but not required. Housing D at facet edges 41, 42 decreases the prospect of beneath pool cover cleaning system fouling on vertical obstructions between the floating sections. Returning to FIG. 1, Sitemap the operation of this apparatus will be simply understood. While these devices will not be crucial for the operation of my gadget, I choose them. At the same time within the encounter of obstacles similar to fold 24, tear 25, and pool cowl edge 26, the ramps 14 and rollers 16 allow the pool cleaning device to go easily. For instance, the rear portion B could consist only of the caster. I've illustrated the inverted casters as being the buoyant parts of the system. It will likely be obvious that this invention may be modified only as restricted by the appended claims. Moreover, the disclosed invention can represent a package for the modification of current devices such because the product illustrated herein. This being the case, the presence of wheel 40 allows the device to pass around vertical obstructions and prevents fouling. It is crucial to note that the general configuration of the inverted casters of this invention even permits passage of the device from an uncovered portion of the pool to a coated portion of the pool.
Throughout the moments of forward movement, the pool cleaning gadget strikes to the pool sides. Yet in sum their motion is programmed; by remaining alongside the pool sidewalls for first periods of time and shifting to the middle of the pool for other intervals of time, a proven and systematic "programmed" cleaning results. At the tip of the forward cycle, a reverse jet energy is applied to the pool cleaning machine for a time period within the order of two minutes. In such movement, pool sweeps aren't precisely programmed as to their path. The disturbance of dirt within the aggregate over many ahead and backward motions causes cleaning of the pool to and towards the pool drain. The relying hoses trigger dirt to be swept from the sidewalls in the direction of the middle of a swimming pool. That is to say they aren't confined on racks or railways to cowl a selected path. Presently the depending hoses sweep dirt to the middle of the pool. The pool cleaning system strikes in a backward movement to and Sign In direction of the middle of the pool.
This system is given a programmed floor floating motion to scrub a pool. It consists of sweeping hoses 31, 32 depending from a ahead housing A. On this gadget as at the moment manufactured, a powered and rotating wheel 33 is disposed on the peripheral and lower portion of the forward edge of float A. Wheel 33 tends to pivot the machine away from obstructions akin to pool ladder 23 (see FIG. 1). A series of jets, including a forwardly disposed jet (not shown) and a rearwardly disposed jet 35 impart the programmed motion of the pool cleaning machine. The operation of this machine is effectively understood and has previously been described. Stated in simple phrases, the prior art gadget operated in an unobstructed vogue on the air-water interface at the top of the pool. It is not going to be further discussed herein except to note that the major object of the advance to be discussed intimately is to offer minimal interference to the machine operation.
Referring to FIG. 1 a perspective view of the floating pool cleaning machine of this invention is illustrated. A forward section A and a rear part B are interconnected by a pipe C and Author Profile stream lined housing D. A primary overlying buoyant caster E1 overlies ahead part A. A second buoyant caster E2 overlies part B. Each of the respective casters E1, E2 includes a ramp 14, a roller sixteen and defines inwardly thereof the buoyant portion of the pool cleaning mechanism. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the particular pool cleaning gadget here illustrated is offered under the registered trademark "Pool Sweep", by the Arneson Products Corporation of Corte Madera, Calif. When the ramp 14 and roller 16 encounter a cover 20 and related discontinuities akin to pool mounted ladder 23, cover fold 24, cover tear 25 and/or cowl edge 26, under cowl pool cleaning continues on a considerably uninterrupted basis.
