Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A pool skimmer having an open framework of framework members, the framework members having end members extending laterally therefrom, floats releasably mounted on said framework end members, means defining vertical indentations in said floats adapted to receive the laterally extended end members of the framework and means mounting an open end of a net on said framework and maintaining the net partially submerged wherein said floats are enlongated members, having each end tapered upwardly and said vertical indentations being vertical slots midway between the respective ends thereof to receive said laterally extended ends of the frame-work members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A pool skimmer having an open framework of framework members, the framework members having end members extending laterally therefrom, floats releasably mounted on said framework end members, means defining vertical indentations in said floats adapted to receive the laterally extended end members of the framework and means mounting an open end of a net on said framework and maintaining the net partially submerged wherein said floats are enlongated members, having each end tapered upwardly and said vertical indentations being vertical slots midway between the respective ends thereof to receive said laterally extended ends of the frame-work members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein said net forms a receptacle for debris and is releasably maintained in open position by said framework members and extending longitudinally between said floats.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein a harness having ropes of equal length extending from one end of said floats and joined at their other ends to a single rope forming a bridle to be received by one end of a pole, providing drawing means for the control of the movement of said net.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein said floats are releaseably mounted on said framework with the lower surface thereof beneath the lower surface of said framework to determine the depth of submersion of said framework.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein said framework is formed of two elongated parallel members maintained a spaced distance apart by two laterally extended end members mounted on each parallel member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
67 words
A pool skimmer as defined in claim 1, and a bridle mounted on one end of said floats, wherein the vertical slots are vertical grooves midway the longitudinal ends thereof to receive said end members and horizontal passageways forming transverse ports through said grooves to receive a fastening means, and ports in said upwardly tapered ends of said floats adapted to receive one end of said bridle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
79 words
A pool skimmer having an open framework of framework members, the framework members having laterally extended end members, floats releasably mounted on the respective ends of said framework members, said floats having means defining vertical grooves midway the longitudinal ends thereof to receive said end members and means defining transverse ports forming horizontal passageways through said grooves to receive fastening means and means mounting an open end of a net on said framework and maintaining the net partially submerged.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
79 words
A pool skimmer having an open framework of framework members, the framework members having laterally extended end members, floats releasably mounted on the respective ends of said framework members, said floats having means defining vertical grooves midway the longitudinal ends thereof to receive said end members and means defining transverse ports forming horizontal passageways through said grooves to receive fastening means and means mounting an open end of a net on said framework and maintaining the net partially submerged.
