Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electronically-controlled air assemblies having an inflation, a deflation, and a closed state for use with inflatable products, such as air mattresses. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to air assemblies where the configuration of the air assembly can be changed by a user operating a directional control valve to inflate, deflate, or close an inflatable product. The air assembly may also maintain a predetermined air pressure value within the inflatable product.

Abstract: An inflatable product can be inflated to a low pressure by a lower-power but high-volume electric pump, then “firmed” or fully inflated by an auxiliary pump. The auxiliary pump may be manually powered, such that the overall cost and complexity of the electric and auxiliary pumps are still lower than a high-power electric pump. The low power high volume electric pump can be easily powered by small batteries that will also provide an increased number of inflations compared to traditional high-power pumps for a given battery capacity. Using small batteries allows the pump to be very compact in size. The auxiliary pump may work through an auxiliary air chamber within the primary air chamber and fluidly connected thereto by a check valve. The electric pump may be reversible to provide for both inflation and deflation.

Abstract: A frame pool is disclosed including a frame assembly and a pool liner, the frame assembly including horizontal frame members and a vertical frame member coupled together via a T-shaped joint. The T-shaped joint may be constructed of plastic to facilitate attachment and detachment to the adjacent frame members and to resist galling and corrosion. The T-shaped joint may also be relatively small to improve the appearance and water containment of the frame pool.

Abstract: A high and low-pressure integrated air pump includes a single housing including an air inlet and an air outlet. A high-pressure pump is disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet, and uses a first outlet passage to discharge to the air outlet. A low-pressure pump is also disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet, and uses a second outlet passage to discharge to the air outlet.

Abstract: A multichannel air assembly (1000) for use with inflatable products with multiple inflatable chambers (C). Specifically, said multi-channel air assembly (1000) may be used to selectively inflate or deflate one or more chambers (C) of an inflatable product to varying pressures.

Abstract: An adjustable attachment structure for a swimming machine is disclosed. The attachment structure is configured to interact with a frame of a pool. A user may interact with a locking switch to transition the attachment structure between a locked and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the swimming machine may be rotated about an axis to direct a generated current in a number of directions.

Abstract: A welding process of an inflatable product is provided that includes using isolating members between first and second portions of weldable tensioning members to resist the first and second portions of the weldable tensioning structures being welded together during welding of the first portions to a first sheet of weldable material and welding of the second portions to a second sheet of weldable material.

Abstract: An above ground frame pool (10) includes a frame assembly (20) and a liner (40) supported by the frame assembly (20). The frame assembly (20) includes a plurality of horizontal pipes (22), a plurality of vertical pipes (24), and a plurality of T-shaped joints (30). The joints (30) may lack mechanical fasteners with adjacent pipes or corresponding apertures. The joints (30) may be one-piece or multi-piece structures. Such joints (30) may be water-resistant and convenient to manufacture, assemble, disassemble, and store.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to air assemblies having an inflation, a deflation, and a closed state for use with inflatable products, such as air mattresses. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to air assemblies where the configuration of the air assembly can be changed manually by a user by operating a directional control valve to inflate, deflate, or close the inflatable product. The directional control valve may also activate a pump in the inflation and deflation states and deactivate the pump in the closed state.

Abstract: A hanging assembly is disclosed for use with a flow generating device that produces a current in a pool. The hanging assembly includes a back supporting plate coupled to a side supporting plate where a plate angle is formed between the back supporting plate and the side supporting plate. The plate angle is adjustable such that a current angle of the current relative to a sidewall of the pool can be varied based on user preferences.

Abstract: Air assemblies (1000,2000,3000,4000,5000) having an inflation, a deflation, and a closed state for use with inflatable products, such as air mattresses. Specifically, air assemblies (1000,2000,3000,4000,5000) can be changed manually by a user by operating a directional control valve (1033,2043,3033,4033,5001) to inflate, deflate, or close the inflatable product. The directional control valve (1033,2043,3033,4033,5001) may also activate a pump in the inflation and deflation states and deactivate the pump in the closed state.

Abstract: A pool cleaner including a housing, a driving assembly, a brush assembly, and a removable debris container. The removable debris container is coupled to the housing through a locking member in the brush assembly.
