Swimming pool return flow nozzle

Abstract

A pool return nozzle assembly, wherein water enters through the gear sleeve assembly causing the turbine blade assembly to turn, which then causes the oscillation of the gear assembly and which then contributes to the revolution of the rotor head for smooth rotation. The assembly focuses on circulating water along the walls of the pool down to the radius and floor of the pool; therefore, enhancing the effectiveness of pool cleaning and return distribution of the water to the pool. The assembly can also be converted into a water fountain with its optional fountain design, which includes a spray head to create aesthetic water spray and fountain characteristics.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A pool return flow nozzle assembly comprising: 
 means for diverting a return water from a pool water circulation system back into a pool in a continuous rotating multi-directional pattern,    said means for diverting the return water causing a continuous rotation of a rotatable head assembly at a distal end of the pool return flow nozzle assembly;    said rotatable head assembly including a rotor head having an outlet port through which the return water is directed into the pool in the continuous rotating multi-directional pattern.    
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 means for securing said pool return flow nozzle assembly into a return outlet on a wall of the pool.    
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the means for diverting the return water includes a water flow driven gear system in mechanical communication with the rotatable head assembly.  
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the means for diverting the return water includes a turbine blade assembly in mechanical communication with the water flow driven gear system.  
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein the means for diverting the return water further includes means for channeling the return water in a desired pattern toward the turbine blades of a turbine blade assembly.  
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the means for channeling the return water in the desired pattern includes a plurality of apertures at a proximal end of the means for diverting the return water.  
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of apertures are angularly oriented to direct the water flow toward the turbine blades to enhance the effectiveness of the rotation of the turbine blade assembly.  
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 locking means for holding the rotor head in a fixed direction when desired.    
     
     
         9 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a flow tube assembly, said flow tube assembly being securable to the outlet port of the rotor head; and    said flow tube assembly having an outlet port at its distal end, said outlet port being in fluid communication with the outlet port on the rotor head.    
     
     
         10 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein said flow tube assembly extends radially from the rotor head a predetermined distance from said rotor head at the distal end of the return flow nozzle assembly.  
     
     
         11 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the flow tube assembly outlet port includes means for directing the water in a desired pattern back into the pool.  
     
     
         12 . The assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein the means for directing the water in the desired pattern back into the pool includes one or more apertures designed to spray the water back into the pool in a spray pattern, the location, size and number of apertures being selected to obtain a desired aesthetic flow of water through the flow tube assembly outlet port.
