Patent number: 11905728Abstract: A multi-weir door assembly is coupled to a skimmer body near a front entrance of the skimmer body such that a flow of water received in the front entrance is incident on a front side of the multi-weir door assembly. The multi-weir door assembly comprises multiple weir doors that are rotationally coupled to the skimmer body by at least a first hinge assembly. Each of the weir doors has a respective buoyancy, and at least first and second weir doors of the multiple weir doors have first and second buoyancies that are different from one another such that the flow of water incident on the multi-weir door assembly affects the first and second weir doors differently in terms of an angular degree to which the incident flow of water causes the first and second weir doors to rotate about first and second axes of rotation, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Custom Molded Products, LLCInventors: Angelo V. Pugliese, Zachary T. Vogtner
