Abstract: A drain module is substituted for a retaining block during the construction of a retaining wall of interlocking retaining blocks to provide a drain. The drain module includes an inlet tube for coupling to a drainage pipe, a flange having an outer face attached to an end of the inlet tube, and an elongated main tube aligned with the inlet tube and attached to an inner face of the flange. A front face plate is attached to a front end of the main tube and has an opening aligned with a passage through the main tube. First and second side chambers are bounded by first and second portions, respectively, of the front face place extending beyond opposite sides of the main tube. In one embodiment the side chambers are filled with cement or the like during construction of the retaining wall to receive and anchor interlocking pins engaging retaining blocks of the retaining wall. The front face plate has a shape or contour closely corresponding to the shape or contour of the front face of each retaining block.

Abstract: A device having two C-shaped hooks and a connecting tether enable a person to assume a seated position within a swimming pool while cleaning the waterline zone of the side wall of the pool. The hooks are precisely contoured so that, when placed in angled relationship to the side wall, the lower end of the hook abuts against the side wall of the pool, and the upper portion of the hook rests upon a horizontal deck surface that surrounds the pool.
