Abstract

A pool cover deployment apparatus is provided. A pool cover deployment apparatus for assisting in manual overlay of a pool cover onto a surface of a pool, comprising an elongated member comprising one or more first attachment members affixed to a front side of the elongated member and one or more second attachment members affixed to a back side of the elongated member. The elongated member is coupled to a leading edge of the pool cover via one or more fasteners and the one or more first attachment members. A pulling mechanism and a means of attaching the cover to the pulling mechanism wherein the pulling mechanism is manually employed by a user such that the pool cover is extended over the pool.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pool cover deployment apparatus for assisting in manual overlay of a pool cover onto a surface of a pool, comprising:
 an elongated member comprising one or more first attachment members affixed to a front side of said elongated member and one or more second attachment members affixed to a back side of said elongated member;   said elongated member coupled to a leading edge of said pool cover via one or more of fasteners and said one or more first attachment members;   a pulling mechanism; and   a means of attaching the second attachment members to the pulling mechanism wherein the pulling mechanism is manually employed by a user such that said pool cover is extended over said pool.   
     
     
         2 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a handle is affixed to said pulling mechanism. 
     
     
         3 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said pulling mechanism is a rope. 
     
     
         4 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said pulling mechanism is a strap. 
     
     
         5 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said pulling mechanism is a cable. 
     
     
         6 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a carabiner. 
     
     
         7 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a cable clamp. 
     
     
         8 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a quick link. 
     
     
         9 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said pool cover is a thermal solar cover. 
     
     
         10 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said elongated member is buoyant. 
     
     
         11 . The pool cover deployment apparatus from  claim 1  further comprising:
 an intermediate member comprising a third attachment member affixed at a first end of said intermediate member and a fourth attachment member affixed at a second end of said intermediate member; and 
 said pulling mechanism coupled to said intermediate member, said third attachment member and said fourth attachment member. 
 
     
     
         12 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said first attachment members, said second attachment members, said third attachment members or said fourth attachment members are pig eye bolts. 
     
     
         13 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said first attachment members, said second attachment members, said third attachment members or said fourth attachment members are eye bolts. 
     
     
         14 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said first attachment members, said second attachment members, said third attachment members or said fourth attachment members are ring bolts. 
     
     
         15 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said first attachment members, said second attachment members, said third attachment members or said fourth attachment members are screw eye bolts. 
     
     
         16 . The pool cover deployment apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said intermediate member is buoyant.
