I've discovered that with operation under pool covers, the tendency of floating pool cleaning units to dangle up on obstructions is increased and/or magnified. Specifically, the rollers sixteen of the respective casters E1, E2 bear towards the underside pool cover 20. In encountering vertical obstacles, corresponding to ladder 23, peripheral wheel forty on caster E2 over rear portion B and the side edges of housing D at border 41, 42 guarantee smooth passage. That is preferred however not required. Housing D at facet edges 41, 42 decreases the prospect of beneath Pool Services cover cleaning gadget fouling on vertical obstructions between the floating sections. Returning to FIG. 1, the operation of this apparatus might be simply understood. While these units usually are not mandatory for the operation of my machine, I choose them. At the same time in the encounter of obstacles reminiscent of fold 24, tear 25, and pool cowl edge 26, the ramps 14 and rollers 16 enable the pool cleaning device to pass smoothly. For instance, the rear portion B might consist only of the caster. I have illustrated the inverted casters as being the buoyant parts of the machine. Will probably be apparent that this invention may be modified only as restricted by the appended claims. Moreover, the disclosed invention can represent a kit for the modification of current gadgets such as the product illustrated herein. This being the case, the presence of wheel forty permits the gadget to pass round vertical obstructions and prevents fouling. It will be important to note that the general configuration of the inverted casters of this invention even allows passage of the gadget from an uncovered portion of the pool to a covered portion of the pool.
Through the moments of forward movement, the pool cleaning machine moves 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 different periods of time, a proven and systematic "programmed" cleaning outcomes. At the top of the ahead cycle, a reverse jet power is utilized to the pool cleaning device 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 Sign In the aggregate over many ahead and backward motions causes cleaning of the pool to and towards the pool drain. The depending hoses cause dirt to be swept from the sidewalls towards the center of a swimming pool. That is to say they are not confined on racks or railways to cowl a specific path. At the moment the relying hoses sweep dirt to the middle of the pool. The pool cleaning device strikes in a backward movement to and towards the middle of the pool.
This system is given a programmed surface floating movement to wash a pool. It includes sweeping hoses 31, 32 relying from a forward housing A. In this machine as currently manufactured, a powered and rotating wheel 33 is disposed at the peripheral and decrease portion of the ahead edge of float A. Wheel 33 tends to pivot the machine away from obstructions akin to pool ladder 23 (see FIG. 1). A collection of jets, including a forwardly disposed jet (not proven) and a rearwardly disposed jet 35 impart the programmed motion of the pool cleaning gadget. The operation of this device is effectively understood and has previously been described. Stated in easy terms, the prior artwork gadget operated in an unobstructed style at the air-water interface at the top of the pool. It is not going to be further discussed herein except to note that the key object of the improvement 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 device of this invention is illustrated. A Affordable Pool & Spa Service ahead part A and a rear section B are interconnected by a pipe C and stream lined housing D. A first overlying buoyant caster E1 overlies forward part A. A second buoyant caster E2 overlies part B. Each of the respective casters E1, E2 includes a ramp 14, a roller 16 and defines inwardly thereof the buoyant portion of the pool cleaning mechanism. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the actual pool cleaning machine here illustrated is bought below 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 equivalent to pool mounted ladder 23, cowl fold 24, Palm Harbor cover tear 25 and/or cowl edge 26, beneath cowl pool cleaning continues on a considerably uninterrupted foundation.
