Abstract
An adjustable attachment structure for a swimming machine is disclosed. The attachment structure is configured to interact with a frame of a pool. A user may interact with a locking switch to transition the attachment structure between a locked and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the swimming machine may be rotated about an axis to direct a generated current in a number of directions.
Claims27
A swimming machine assembly comprising:
- a main body configured to generate a current in a pool;
- an attachment assembly configured to couple to the main body comprising:
- an assembly hub;
- a connector configured to couple the main body to the assembly hub;
- a rotary positioning member positioned within the assembly hub and configured to position the main body in a number of rotational positions about a vertically extending axis;
- a locking switch coupled to the assembly hub and configured to move the rotary positioning member between an unlocked state and a locked state, wherein in the unlocked state the main body is movable between the number of rotational positions about the vertically extending axis;
- and
- a mounting structure coupled to the main body through the attachment assembly and configured to be mounted to the pool.
