Embodiment Construction

[0026]The present invention overcomes the prior art limitations and provides a fixed floating fountain that follows the level of water in a lake, pond, or other water body while remaining in the same position relative to the shore of the water body. Ornamental water fountains are often placed in lakes or other shallow bodies of water and anchored in place but allowed to float upon the water in a somewhat confined area. The present invention generally is for usage is in still water bodies such as lakes and ponds with lesser application in moving waters such as rivers.

[0027]The invention begins with FIG. 1 where a prior art pier C locates within a lake. The pier extends above the lake surface A ready to accept a structure and embeds into the lake bottom B or lakebed, using percussion or a helical shaped plate as at D. The prior art pier can be of wood, metal, or plastic of sufficient rigidity and stiffness to withstand the means of installation, hammering or rotation. The helical plat...

Abstract

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.

For centuries, people have built, or used, ponds, or lakes, often as decoration or some times as displays of wealth and authority. The lakes have been in rural residences, estates, and farms, and in urban settings often within parks. Whether commissioned privately or publicly, fountains often have strategic locations in a lake to be seen by admirers and the public. Fountains attract attention. In olden days,...
