Abstract
The reservoir includes a flexible cover laid thereon. A transverse walkway extends along an end thereof. A transverse handrail is mounted along the walkway, along an inside edge of the walkway. A cover-winding gap extends under the handrail and above the walkway. This cover-winding gap extends in a plane of the handrail. The cover-winding gap extends unobstructed under the handrail and above the walkway and along the full width of the reservoir. Because of this cover-winding gap, the flexible cover can be wound up in a spool in one stride across the reservoir.
Claims17
A reservoir having sides and ends, comprising;
- a flexible cover laid thereon;
- a transverse walkway mounted along one of said ends;
- a transverse handrail mounted along said transverse walkway, along an inside edge of said transverse walkway;
- a cover-winding gap extending under said transverse handrail and above said transverse walkway;
- said cover-winding gap comprising an opening extending unobstructed between said transverse handrail and said transverse walkway, and along a full width of said reservoir, and;
- a spool connected to said flexible cover and extending along a length of said reservoir, said spool having an end portion extending through said cover-winding gap and over said walkway;
- said spool being movable along said cover-winding gap for winding said flexible cover thereon.
A reservoir having sides and ends, comprising;
- a flexible cover laid thereon;
- a transverse walkway mounted along one of said ends;
- a longitudinal handrail mounted along one of said sides;
- a transverse handrail mounted along said transverse walkway, along an inside edge of said transverse walkway;
- said transverse handrail having an arched truss-like structure;
- a cover-winding gap extending under said transverse handrail and above said transverse walkway;
- said cover-winding gap comprising an opening extending unobstructed between said transverse handrail and said transverse walkway and along a full width of said reservoir, and;
- a spool connected to said flexible cover and extending along a length of said reservoir, said spool having an end portion extending through said cover-winding gap and over said walkway;
- said spool being movable along said cover-winding gap for winding said flexible cover thereon.
