Abstract
A pool cover winding system has first and second end supports rotatably supporting a shaft for receiving a pool cover wound around it. A bidirectional piston motor operates under control of a valve arrangement connecting a source of water pressure to a first inlet to generate rotation in a first direction for winding a pool cover around the shaft, and to a second inlet to generate rotation in a second direction for unwinding a pool cover from the shaft.
Claims10
A pool cover winding system comprising:
- (a) a shaft for receiving a pool cover wound around it;
- (b) first and second end supports configured for supporting said shaft rotatably;
- (c) a bidirectional piston motor mechanically linked to said first end support and said shaft, said bidirectional piston motor being configured to operate under fluid pressure supplied to a first inlet to generate rotation in a first direction for winding a pool cover around said shaft, and to operate under fluid pressure supplied to a second inlet to generate rotation in a second direction for unwinding a pool cover from said shaft;
- and
- (d) a valve arrangement for selectively connecting a source of water pressure to each of said first and second inlets.
