Abstract

The Stockly Swimming Pool Pump Motor Cover protects both sides; top, and front of the swimming pool pump motor from sun, rain, sprinklers and morning dew. It has an optional base, which secures the top in one place and does not restrict ventilation to the swimming pool pump motor. No tools are required.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . The claimed invention differs from what currently exists. Existing covers shield the top of the motor only, but will allow rain and water from sprinklers access to the ends of the motor and underneath the motor casing where the motor rusts. My motor cover is a house that fits over the motor. The cover has three sides and can be secured to an optional base by 2-nylon thumbscrews. No tools are necessary to install the cover and the cover provides much more protection from the elements. There are no mechanical attachments to pool equipment. It allows for adequate ventilation. Covers without the optional base are simply placed over the pool pump motor. The invention is an improvement to what currently exists. Existing models cover tops and sides of the motor leaving the front exposed to the elements. The attachment used to secure it to the motor is plastic and easily breaks. The design run of temperature of the motor causes a clamp to turn brittle and fail leaving the motor cover not secure. My motor cover protects all sides and bottom from the elements and does not come in contact with the motor. It has an optional base, which is designed to secure and keep cover in one place. When the cover is in place, it does not restrict ventilation to the pump motor.
