Benefits of technology

[0006] This present invention is an attachment for a skidsteer loader, backhoe or other work type vehicle that can be used to quickly form the skimmer box during the excavation phase prior to the steel reinforcement phase of building a swimming pool. The attachment is connected to the vehicle and carried to the wall of the swimming pool. The attachment is aligned to the top of the swimming pool where the skimmer box is to be located. The attachment is then inserted fully into the ground. The vehicle then raises the attachment and any dirt or other material is carried away from the wall of the pool. The skimmer box structure has now been formed. The invention quickly forms the skimmer box structure in seconds with very smooth walls and little effort.
[0008] This invention reduces the costs of building a swimming pool by reducing the number of workers required in the construction process. In addition, the use of the invention will reduce the amount of gunite required in the swimming pool construction process due to the skimmer box wall being cut to size by the invention.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, this job was performed at the edge of the swimming pool and inherently had a risk of injury by falling into the pool.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

[0017] With reference to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates an attachment according to the instant invention. As illustrated, the attachment includes a structure 11 shaped like a box with one open side. Structure 11 also includes a hole on the top side of the box to allow for pressure relief when inserting in a wall. The structure 11 is attached to item 12 which also includes a hole for pressure relief. Item 12 extends beyond the shape of Item 111 to form a...

Abstract

This present invention is an attachment for a skidsteer loader, backhoe or other work type vehicle that can be used to quickly form the skimmer box walls when building a swimming pool. This invention significantly reduces the time required to prepare the skimmer box. In addition, this invention improves the safety of swimming pool construction by eliminating this strenuous job for workers and the risk of potential injury while digging the skimmer box hole. This invention reduces the costs of building a swimming pool by reducing the amount of time workers are required in the construction process. In addition, material savings can be incurred by reducing the amount of gunite required in the swimming pool construction process

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable REFERENCE TO A “SEQUENCE LISTING” A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING APPENDIX SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC [0003] Not Applicable FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention pertains to an attachment for skidsteer loaders, backhoes or other work type vehicles. More particularly, this invention pertains to an attachment to be used as a tool for quickly forming a skimmer box. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART [0005] The use of attachments on skidsteer loaders, backhoes and other work type vehicles to aid in performing various tasks is known. During the excavation of a swimming pool, it is common to use a skidsteer loader because of its smaller size and maneuverability. Many swimming pools are excavated using a skidsteer loader and a standard bucket attachment. Skidsteer loaders with a standard bucket attachment are used to remove dirt from a h...
