Drain assembly for above ground flexible swimming pool cover (s)

Abstract

A drain assembly for above ground flexible waterproof swimming pool covers compressed of rigid plastic material, thereby installed in the prescribed matter defining a clear passageway which will allow for the free flow of standing water and particulate matter from the exterior surface of the above ground flexible waterproof swimming pool cover to the exterior periphery of the above ground swimming pool.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A drain assembly for above ground flexible waterproof swimming pool covers, comprising: 
 A waterproof plastic transition duct assembly with two (2) integral flanges, one (1) flange On each opposing ends, with each flange having an integral mechanical interface required for drain assembly installation.    
     
     
         2 . A drain assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said drain assembly is installed inside above ground swimming pool between the underside of the waterproof swimming pool cover, Hereby known as pool cover and aligned in a transverse axes with existing above ground swimming pool skimmer opening, Hereby know as skimmer opening, but not limited to existing skimmer opening. Thereby installed by mechanical means as stated in the related subsequent claims.  
     
     
         3 . A drain assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , having one (1) integral interface flange with a planar area greater than the drain area itself that interfaces with existing skimmer opening, as stated in  claim 2 , and a standard skimmer gasket, thereby attached by mechanical mean to an exterior skimmer assembly forming a watertight seal between the drain assembly and the skimmer opening located on the side wall of swimming pool.  
     
     
         4 . A drain assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , having a second integral interface flange with a planar area greater than the drain area itself that interfaces with a standard gasket and the underside of the pool cover as stated in  claim 2  and a second standard gasket that interfaces with the exterior surface pool cover thus aligned with a standard interface flange on the exterior surface of pool cover thereby attached by mechanical means forming a watertight seal between the pool cover and the drain assembly.  
     
     
         5 . A drain assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , forming a clear drainage passageway by carefully removing pool cover material with a sharp implement from the inner surface of the exterior cover interface flange as stated in  claim 4 , thereby creating a clear passageway for the egress of water and coarse debris from the exterior surface of the pool cover to the exterior periphery of the swimming pool through the drain assembly utilizing existing skimmer opening, but not limited to the existing skimmer opening.
