Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a spa cover lifter that helps to easily remove and reattach the spa cover. The lifter includes a pivot arm and a piston, which can be folded to open the spa cover and keep it in a half-open position. This makes it easier for users to enter and use the spa. The technical effect of this invention is to make the spa cover removal and reattachment process easier and more convenient for users.

Problems solved by technology

Spa covers are often many inches thick and can have considerable weight, especially when insulated.
This can make it difficult to remove the spa cover before use of the spa, but also when moving the spa cover back to cover the spa.

Abstract

A tie-down for joining a pivot arm of a spa cover lifter and a spa cover comprising a pivot arm restraint to retain at least a portion of the pivot arm and a spa cover connector portion coupled to the pivot arm restraint for coupling the tie-down to the spa cover.

Description

FIELD[0001]This application relates to the field of spa covers.INTRODUCTION[0002]Spas, especially those for outdoor use, are typically covered by a spa cover. The spa cover serves to keep dirt, leaves and other debris out of the spa. Insulated spa covers are also useful for retaining the heat of the hot water inside the spa.[0003]A spa cover is normally removed before a user will enter the spa. Spa covers are often many inches thick and can have considerable weight, especially when insulated. This can make it difficult to remove the spa cover before use of the spa, but also when moving the spa cover back to cover the spa. Conveniently, a spa may be fitted with a spa cover lifter, which can assist the user in lifting and storing the spa cover off of the spa, and in moving the spa cover back to cover the spa.[0004]To assist the movement of the spa cover, spa cover lifters can include damping mechanisms, such as gas pistons, to help slow the decent of the spa cover when moving it back ...
