Benefits of technology

"The invention is a holding sheet for a pool cover assembly that can hold a flotation member in the center of the cover sheet easily and conveniently. The holding sheet has multiple ends and adhesive strips mounted on the ends at the same side of the holding sheet to form a pocket in which the flotation member is kept centrally under the cover sheet of the pool cover assembly. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more convenient and easy way to keep a flotation member in the center of a pool cover sheet."

Problems solved by technology

However, the hook and loop type fasteners should be mounted previously on specific locations on the combined components, so a component, such as a pillow with one of the hook and loop type fasteners cannot be attached to a component, such as a cover sheet without or having a different type or location of hook and loop type fastener.

first embodiment

[0017]The inflatable flotation member 20 is secured to the underside 11 at the central portion of the cover sheet 10 with the holding sheet 30 forming a pocket via an adhesive material. In the first embodiment, the inflatable flotation member 20 is an inflatable pillow having a square shape.

[0018]The holding sheet 30 in accordance with the present invention is crisscross in shape and has four ends to form a pocket in which the flotation member 20 is remained centrally on the cover sheet 10. The adhesive material comprises multiple permanent adhesive strips 32 mounted respectively on the ends at a same side of the holding sheet 30. Additionally, the opposite side of the holding sheet 30 is free of adhesive. Alternatively, a round inflatable flotation member 20B can also be held by the crisscross holding sheet 30 as shown in FIG. 6.

[0019]To assemble the pool cover assembly, the underside 11 of the cover sheet 10 is exposed firstly. The inflatable flotation member 20 is then inflated a...

second embodiment

[0022]With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the inflatable flotation member 20A in accordance with the present invention is an inflatable pillow having a rectangular shape.

[0023]The holding sheet 30A comprises an elongated lateral segment 34 and two longitudinal segments 36 connected to and may be perpendicular to the lateral segment 34 to form multiple ends on the holding sheet 30A. The adhesive material comprises multiple permanent adhesive strips 32A mounted respectively on the ends at a same side of the holding sheet 30A. Accordingly, the flotation member 20A can be securely to a cover sheet 10A of a different shape or size to make the pool cover assembly being applied to different pools of sizes or shapes and being versatile in use. Alternatively, an oval inflatable flotation member 20C can also be held by the elongated holding sheet 30A as shown in FIG. 7.

[0024]With the above description, the pool cover assembly in accordance with the present invention has the following advantages....

Abstract

A holding sheet for a pool cover assembly having a cover sheet and a flotation member is disclosed. The cover sheet has an underside and a central portion. The inflatable flotation member is secured to the underside at the central portion of the cover sheet with the holding sheet via an adhesive material. The holding sheet has multiple ends and multiple adhesive strips mounted on the ends at a same side of the holding sheet to form a pocket in which a flotation member is remained centrally under a cover sheet of the pool cover assembly. Accordingly, The flotation member can be held and mounted at a center of the underside of the cover sheet easily and conveniently.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a holding sheet, and more particularly to a holding sheet for a pool cover assembly to hold a flotation member at a center of a cover sheet easily and conveniently.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A pool cover can cover a pool to mount over the pool water, is secured around the perimeter of the pool via wire winching device, and has a float positioned centrally on the pool water via ropes or wires.[0005]U.S. Pat. No. 6,052,843 to Pirillo discloses a removable flotation device attached a pool cover with retaining grommets and cords. U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,083 to Kingston discloses a flotation device attached securely to a pool cover by heat sealing process, but a typical cover owner does not own a heat sealing equipment. U.S. Pat. No. 5,345,627 to Cammarata discloses a quick attachment of components, such as a pillow to other components, such as a towel with hook and loop type fasten...
