Benefits of technology

The invention provides a pool cleaner cover that protects the pool vacuum device and changes its exterior appearance. Additionally, the cover is easy to attach and release from the pool vacuum device.

Problems solved by technology

Although pool vacuum devices are presumably effective for their intended purposes, these devices are often very unsightly when stored near a pool and even when in use nearby.
Some commercial pool vacuums may even be intimidating and scary to young people.
In addition, a pool vacuum device may become damaged as other items may get stored atop the cleaner or through accidental impacts.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]A pool cleaner cover according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the accompanying drawings. The pool cleaner cover 10 includes a body portion 20 and a mounting portion 30.

[0018]The body portion 20 includes a top wall 22 and a side wall 26 extending downwardly from the top wall. The side wall 26 may have a continuous configuration—meaning, the side wall 26 may be circular or cylindrical although in other embodiments the side wall 26 may include a plurality of walls having rectangular configurations extending downwardly. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the top wall 22 has a domed or curved configuration although a generally flat or other configuration would also work.

[0019]Together, the top wall 22 and side wall 26 define a hollow interior area. The side wall 26 includes a lower rim 27 that defines an open bottom to the body portion 20 and that provides access to the interior area from a b...

Abstract

A pool cleaner cover for use with a pool vacuum includes a body portion having a top wall and a continuous side wall extending downwardly from the top wall such that the cover body defines an interior area, the side wall including a lower rim that defines an open bottom allowing access to the interior area. The top wall defines an aperture providing access to the interior area. A mounting portion having a tubular configuration is situated in the interior area and has upper and lower open ends. The upper end extends upwardly through the aperture and is configured to selectively receive a lower end of a pool vacuum hose. The lower end is situated in the interior area and configured to connect to a hose coupling of a pool vacuum.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is related to U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29 / 519,482, filed Mar. 5, 2015, and titled “Pool Toy,” now pending.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to pool cleaning equipment and accessories and, more particularly, to a pool cleaner cover that quickly and easily attaches to a pool vacuum device and then interfaces the vacuum device with a pool cleaning hose.[0003]Residential, commercial, and community swimming pools are very popular. It is well known that maintaining proper sanitation in every swimming pool environment is very important and many pools are cleaned daily. Pool sanitation is typically performed manually with a skimmer tool or, on a larger scale, with partially or fully automated electrically powered pool sanitation devices. In the case of electrically powered vacuum devices, a vacuum hose connected to the vacuum device dislodges and collects pool impurities from the po...
