Abstract
Pools of all peripheral shapes of either above or below ground construction with single slope or flat bottoms when not in use may be equipped with a rigid structurally safe traversible completely dry surface deck or decks for domestic functions and to simultaneously insulate the surface of the water with which it is in contact but when pool is in use such a deck or decks are to be readily set at any depth in the pool until it or they become finally a false bottom by means of control by external low pressure hydraulic cylinders operated from the pool circulating system per medium of a single readily operable but safety positioned three-way valve.
Claims2
In either an in or above ground pool provided with walls including single acting low pressure hydraulic cylinders externally and stationary positioned relative to and approximately flush with the head and base of said walls which can be used to control the level of a rigid traversible deck or decks in said pool with an inverted reaction through the novel use of a circular flexible plastic-coated wire rope sealed with "O" rings as the transfer medium of the applied hydraulic force within the cylinders and said plastic-coated rope is guided by pulleys supported by an extended arm on cylinder caps provided over the wall to connect to the decks and this extended arm can be clear of the wall when such a condition is required.
