System And Method Of Making A Pool Invisible

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel system and method of covering a pool and making the pool invisible. The present system comprises a flat board and at least one lifting device. The board has sufficient size for covering the pool and is made of rigid materials so as to be able to bear heavy weight. The lifting device includes two parts: a movable part and a fixed part. The one part of the lifting device is fixed on the ground or somewhere in a building near the pool, and another part is joined to the covering board. The lifting device can vertically move the horizontal covering board upward or downward and keep the covering board always horizontal. When want to swim, the users only lift up the covering board, and when want to BBQ, they only lower the covering board to cover the pool. Once the covering board reaches the top of the pool wall, the pool becomes hidden and invisible. The users can do some activities and put something on it even on the lifted covering board as on the floor or on the ground. This expands actually their living space. The method is especially suitable for establishing an indoor pool for Chinese household who does not have courtyard.

The main function of this type of cover is to prevent children or pets from falling into the water, to prevent debris such as leaves from contaminating the pool water, and to prevent water from evaporating. Although some soft materials are also relatively strong, they cannot carry more weight, nor are they stable enough for people to move on their surfaces. Some of these coverings also have drives such as winders or folders attached. These drives roll or fold soft covers so th...
