Abstract
A system includes a support for a pool cover box lid comprising an elongated mounting element extending along at least one wall of the pool cover box, and a plurality of bracket assemblies, each connecting to the mounting element at multiple positions along the mounting element to support the lid. A method is directed to supporting a lid on a pool cover box. A system also forms a pool cover box lid, comprising form support elements spaced apart from each other, a base sheet, lid forming elements, each being connected to one of the form support elements and extending upward, and wall elements disposed perpendicular to the lid forming elements for forming said lid. A method is directed to forming a lid for a pool cover box.
Claims30
A system for supporting a lid for a pool cover box comprising:
- (a) an elongated mounting element extending along substantially at least one wall of the pool cover box, and
- (b) a plurality of bracket assemblies, each adapted for connecting to the mounting element at multiple positions along the mounting element to support the lid.
A lid support system for supporting a lid for a pool cover box, comprising:
- (a) an elongated track element extending substantially along at least one wall of the pool cover box,
- (b) a plurality of hanger brackets, each being adapted for attaching to the elongated track element at one of a plurality of positions along the elongated track element, and
- (c) a plurality of support brackets, each being adapted for attaching to one of the hanger brackets and for supporting a portion of the lid.
The lid support system of claim 14, wherein each hanger bracket includes a first mating element, and wherein each support bracket includes a second mating element for mating with one of the support brackets.
A method for supporting a lid on a pool cover box comprising:
- (a) connecting an elongated mounting element to extend along substantially at least one wall of the pool cover box, and
