Abstract
A remote control pool skimmer for picking up surface debris, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises a pair of elongated buoyant hulls spaced from one another, each hull having a bow and a stern, and at least one cross member interconnecting the hulls to one another, a remotely controlled drive system connected to the pool skimmer for propelling the hulls across the surface of the water in a selected direction and a collection net spanning the space between the pair of hulls, the net being oriented in order to collect surface debris as the hulls move through the water. In terms of weight distribution from bow to stern, the hulls are weighted more toward the stern.
Claims20
A remote control pool skimmer comprising:
- a pair of elongated buoyant hulls spaced from one another, each having a bow and a stern, and at least one cross member interconnecting said hulls;
- a remotely controlled drive system connected to said skimmer for moving said hulls through water in a given direction;
- and,
- a net spanning the space between said buoyant hulls and oriented to collect surface debris as the hulls move through water, said hulls being weighted non-linearly from bow-to-stern with greater weighting toward the stern, said net having a mouth of frame material and said mouth having curved ends and a handle extending upward from said frame material.
A remote control pool skimmer, comprising:
- a pair of elongated buoyant hulls spaced from one another, each having a bow and a stern, and at least one cross member interconnecting said hulls;
- a remotely controlled drive system connected to said skimmer for moving said hulls through water in a given direction;
- a net spanning the space between said buoyant hulls and oriented to collect surface debris as the hulls move through water;
- a pair of cross members, one of which is adjacent the stern and the other of which is at the bow;
- and
- wherein the cross member at the bow of said hull is curved in a forward direction.
