Abstract
A pole for a swimming pool comprises a tool for swimming pool maintenance located at one end of the pole and a device for preventing the pole from sliding into the swimming pool. The device comprises a face that surrounds the pole generally perpendicular to the pole and a baffle that extends from the outside edge of the face generally parallel to the pole. The device prevents the pole from sliding into the swimming pole by a user placing the baffle on a surface at the edge of the swimming pool.
Claims17
A pole for a swimming pool comprising:
- a tool for swimming pool maintenance located at one end of the pole;
- a device for preventing the pole from sliding into the swimming pool comprising:
- a face that surrounds the pole generally perpendicular to the pole;
- a baffle having a height greater than its thickness that extends from the outside edge of said face generally parallel to the pole;
- and
- a lip that extends from the outside edge of said face opposite from said baffle having a height that is less than that of the baffle and a thickness greater than that of the baffle;
- wherein said device prevents the pole from sliding into the swimming pool by a user placing said baffle on a surface at the edge of the swimming pool such that said baffle collapses inwardly and forms a non-point contact with the surface on which it is placed.

A device that is attachable to a pole for preventing a pole from sliding into a vessel, comprising:
- an opening configured to receive a pole;
- a face that surrounds said opening and generally perpendicular to a pole mounted to said opening;
- a baffle having a height greater than its thickness that extends from the outside edge of said face generally parallel to a pole mounted to said opening;
- a lip that extends from the outside edge of said face opposite from said baffle having a height that is less than that of the baffle and a thickness greater than that of the baffle;
- wherein a pole to which a device is attached is prevented from sliding into a vessel by a user placing said baffle on a surface at the edge of the vessel such that said baffle collapses inwardly and forms a non-point contact with the surface on which it is placed.
