Abstract: An elongate beading for attaching a pool liner to a pool wall includes a substantially planar liner attachment portion having an outer surface for attachment to a pool liner and a hook portion having a pair of opposed first and second legs interconnected by a connector portion. The first and second legs and connector portion have inner surfaces defining a channel and the first leg is substantially coplanar with the liner attachment portion. The second leg defines with the connector portion a downwardly facing shoulder and includes a narrowing intermediate its ends which defines first and second sections, the second section being the free end portion which is separable from the first section. The free end portion tapers outwardly from the narrowing towards its free end, includes a plurality of spaced apart raised ribs on its surfaces and terminates in an enlarged protuberance.

Abstract: A swimming pool safety cover of the solid fabric variety includes a flexible cover fabric formed of a plurality of reinforced thermoplastic polymer pieces assembled and heat sealed along their edges to form a unitary cover conforming to the shape of the pool and a plurality of anchor straps, each strap extending along a portion of and heat sealed to one side of the cover and projecting outwardly from, and spaced apart along, the periphery of the cover. The projecting portion of each anchor strap is sufficiently long to attach to the hardware and the portion of each strap extending along and heat sealed to the cover is no longer than one to three times the length of the projecting portion.
