Hot tub cover

Abstract

A hot tub cover for reversibly covering the top aperture of the tub. The other tub cover includes a plurality of substantially elongated cover elements disposed in a side by side relationship relatively to each other. Each of the cover elements is pivotally coupled to adjacent cover elements. The hot tub cove is retractable from the top aperture by rolling the hot tub cover around itself. Also, the hot tub cover is extendable over the top aperture by unrolling the rolled hot tub cover.

1 . A hot tub cover for reversibly covering a top aperture of a hot tub, said hot tub cover comprising a plurality of substantially elongated cover elements disposed in a side-by-side relationship relatively to each other, each of said cover elements being pivotally coupled to adjacent cover elements, whereby said hot tub cover is retractable from said top aperture by enrolling said hot tub cover around itself. 
   
   
       2 . A hot tub cover as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said cover elements are provided with a seal for sealing said cover elements against said hot tub. 
   
   
       3 . A hot tub cover as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a bracket mountable to said hot tub substantially adjacent to said top aperture for receiving said hot tub cover therein. 
   
   
       4 . A hot tub cover as defined in  claim 3 , wherein said bracket defines a substantially C-shaped cover receiving portion. 
   
   
       5 . A hot tub cover as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said cover elements have a substantially arcsegment shaped cross-sectional configuration. 
   
   
       6 . A hot tub cover as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a vapor-proof membrane extending above said cover elements. 
   
   
       7 . A hot tub cover as defined in  claim 1 , wherein each of said cover elements includes a substantially rigid outer shell and a substantially thermally insulating material filling said outer shell.
