  • Patent number: 5911878
    Abstract: A passive pool skimmer has a T-shaped buoyant stabilizer end and a flexible strap which provides a readily displaceable structure that removes debris from the surface of a pool. The pool skimmer includes a rectangular frame having a net attached thereto in the configuration of a rectangular pouch. At one end of the frame, two floats are attached to the ends of a T-shaped structure. The floats rest against the side of the pool and, in combination with a float at the opposite end of the frame, provides sufficient buoyancy to substantially center the opening of the frame at the water level. A flexible strap with a quick disconnect is attached to the skimmer and allows relative motion of the pool skimmer.
