Abstract
A one-piece device for storing a pool cover which is removed from a position covering a swimming pool, having an upstanding perimeter sidewall, to a position adjacent the sidewall. The device includes a pair of U-shaped storage members having upper legs which are integrally coupled together and integral lower legs which cooperate to define an inwardly receiving opening. Mount members, which are integral with the lower legs, are provided for mounting the U-shaped storage members in a position in which the upper legs and at least a portion of the opening is disposed at a level above the upper end of the pool sidewall.

In combination with an above-ground swimming pool including an endless, upstanding sidewall having inner and outer wall surfaces and an upper terminal end, and a pool cover removably mounted on said pool for movement from a position covering said pool to a removed, stowed position in which said pool is uncovered,
- pool cover storage apparatus for storing said pool cover in said removed position, said apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of one-piece, perimetrically spaced apart pool cover storage devices each including
- upper and lower vertically spaced apart legs having inner and outer ends, said outer ends being integrally coupled by an intermediate upstanding base,
- said inner ends being vertically spaced apart to provide a horizontally inwardly facing opening for freely receiving said pool cover in said removed stowed position, and
- upstanding mount means, integrally coupled to said lower leg, for supporting said lower leg on said outer wall to dispose said lower leg adjacent said outer wall surface below said upper terminal end and to dispose said inner end of said upper leg at a level substantially above said upper terminal end.
