Abstract
An assembly and method for the use of a float in a pool. The assembly provides a stable platform to place food, drink, and decorations. Additionally, the assembly reduces the number of small animals drowning or dying in a pool by providing a stable platform in which to climb onto to get out of the water. The assembly includes a foam float, tether, and anchor. The anchor and tether confine the area the float can travel. The anchor is attached to the pool wall, eliminating a tripping hazard next to the pool.
Claims12
A pool floatation tether assembly, comprising:
- a foam float having a lower layer and an upper layer, the lower layer and the upper layer being formed from a celled foam material, the foam density of the lower layer being different from the foam density of the upper layer, the float is configured so that a top surface of the lower layer remains above the surface of a body of liquid water;
- an anchor having a fastener, the fastener releasably secures the anchor to a wall in a pool;
- and
- a tether formed from a rigid member being coupled between the foam float and the anchor, the tether passing through the anchor under interference fit so as to create a binding force that minimizes movement of the foam float in the liquid water.
