From the foregoing description of my invention in its preferred form, it will be appreciated that the same fulfills all the objects attributed thereto, and while I have illustrated and described my invention in considerable details, it will be appreciated that the same is subject to alteration and modification without departing from the underlying principles involved, and I, accordingly, do not desire to be limited in my protection to the specific details illustrated and described, except as may be necessitated by the appended claims. A skimmer assembly adapted for installation through an opening in a pool wall from the rear side thereof to mask the otherwise exposed edges of the wall opening, includes a circular type weir involving a float having means for offering resistance to dropping of the float in response to operation of the pool pump, whereby to minimize and stabilize the layer of water flowing over the weir. NUNC PRO TUNC ASSIGNMENT;ASSIGNORS:JACUZZI WHIRLPOOL BATH, INC.;JACUZZI BROS., INC.;REEL/FRAME:003873/0510;SIGNING DATES FROM 19810424 TO 19810508, Owner name: While the mode of operation of the embodiment described above is not too clear, it is believed that, by reason of the clearance existing between the skirt and the proximate wall of the weir assembly housing, the buoyancy force against the bottom 33 of the float of the weir assembly will always be that exerted by the water at the level of the water in the tunnel, and that this buoyancy force will be opposed by the suction force of the pump when the pump is functioning, plus the weight of the layer of water flowing over the weir.

When it becomes necessary to drain the pool itself, then all that is necesary to do is to plug up the neck opening of the vacuum by means of an appropriate cap and then exposing the main drain line 11 from the pool, to the pump suction opening 7 by swinging the valve to a midpoint between the two. The combined effect of the pump and the weight of the layer of water flowing over the weir results in a relatively thick layer of water flowing over the weir, thereby cutting down velocity of flow and impairing effecienty of skimming. An adjustable cover assembly 19 slidably fits the upper end of the housing to enable adjustment as to height to match up with the pool deck 21. Up to this point, the skimmer assembly will function in a more or less conventional manner when installed in a pool wall, and properly connected to the pool pump.

The entire skimmer assembly is then retracted to bring three of the flanges into contact with the metal panel 65 of the wall, following which, the skimmer assembly may be mounted to the metal panel by bolts through the metal panel and contacting flanges. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness. Extend Machine Life Timely replacement of accessories is conducive to the extension of the service life of the machine, this skimmer gate weir baffle is suitable forPENTAIR. Application filed by Jacuzzi Brothers Inc. Following such mounting of the skimmer assembly to the metal panel of the pool wall, the lining 66 is applied and when applied to the metal panel, it is provided with an opening of a size and shape matching the entrance to the tunnel, whereby such liner will cover, conceal and protect not only the backing plate 77 and the opening which it has covered, but also all the flanges of the tunnel, to which the edges of the opening in the lining are clamped under pressure by a matching frame 81 and sealing gasket which are bolted to the flanges of the tunnel. In the preferred embodiment, the longer flanges exceed in length, the longer dimension of the opening. 1 is a view in section through a skimmer assembly embodying the features of the present invention, illustrated installed in a pool of the liner type; FIG. The present invention relates to swimming pool installations and more particularly to a skimmer assembly for installation in the wall of a pool to promote skimming of the surface of a pool in order to remove floating debris which may have accumulated therein. 6 is a front view partly broken away of the skimmer assembly installed in a pool wall; FIGS. Toward this end, the tunnel 9, at its entrance end, is of rectangular configuration, bordered along both dimensions by mounting flanges 67, 69. However, as the float proper submerges, the air chambers 39 then begin to submerge and add to the prevailing buoyancy force exerted upon the float, thereby reducing the ability of the pump to drop the float to the position which it would normally occupy in a conventional or prior art weir assembly, with the result that a thinner sheet of water will flow over the weir and with greater velocity, which is what the present invention seeks and what is desired in a weir assembly. Installed just above the strainer basket is a floating weir assembly 27. Then by starting the pump, the vacuum sweeper can be moved along the bottom of the pool to vacuum the same, and any debris picked up by the vacuum sweeper, will be strained through the strainer basket which will remove the larger items, it being important to note in this connection, that the strainer basket need not be removed when vacuuming, as is necessary in prior skimmer assemblies of this type. 2 is a plan view of the weir assembly depicted in the skimmer assembly of FIG. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations, Select the department you want to search in. Efficiency in skimming can be realized by reducing the thickness of the layer of water flowing over the weir, for this results in higher velocities at the surface to give better skimming action. The inertia thus imparted to the float will cause it to bounce or oscillate, whereby the efficiency of the float as a weir becomes impaired because, for one thing, the thickness of the layer of water flowing over the float will fluctuate accordingly. Click Customise Cookies to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more. Aggravating this situation, is the fact that the thickness of such layer of water flowing over the weir will fluctuate in response to wave motion imparted to the incoming water by prevailing conditions in the pool, and such fluctuations will cause the float to respond and oscillate vertically in what may be termed bouncing, which, in turn, will further aggrevate the situation. 4 and 5 of the drawings, the weir assembly takes on much simpler construction, and involves an inverted circular trough 41 with a vertical outside wall 43 extended to provide a depending skirt 45, while the inner wall 47 of the weir assembly slopes in the direction of the longitudinal axis 49 in such manner as to maintain contact with the incoming water during functioning cycles of the weir assembly, whereby to prevent agitation of the water and creation of air bubbles which might adversely effect pump operation. For ameliorating these adverse conditions, the float 29 is provided with additional buoyancy means 39 at preferably equally spaced locations about the upper surface thereof, and to a height such that they will be only partially submerged during functioning cycles of the weir assembly. The weight of the water pouring over the weir will cause a slight additional drop in the position of the weir until a position of equalibrium is attained. Utilizable in place of either of the above described weir assemblies, for use in vacuuming the floor of the pool, there is provided a vacuum cover 57 adapted to be removably seated on a built in shoulder 59 in the wall of the weir assembly housing, just above the strainer basket, and sealed to such shoulder by a suitable gasket. In the second embodiment of the invention as depicted in FIGS. Within the float housing is a ring 35 of plastic foam, retained in position by the insertable closure 33. A ring shaped closure 33 is adapted to fit the open end of the trough. Upon starting up of the pump, water will be withdrawn from the weir assembly housing to the point that the weir assembly will now be somewhat submerged below the level of the water in the tunnel, thereby causing a flow of water over the weir into the weir assembly housing and to the pump, via the strainer basket which will remove any debris such as leaves and the like.
