Patent number: 11905727Abstract: A roll-up spa cover for protecting and insulating an outdoor swim spa includes a multi-layer flexible insulation sheet structure is sized to at least cover a top of a spa and comprises at least two flexible layers. Support members may be attached to the plurality of support members in a parallel spaced relationship. Flexible rods can be removable located onto or into the support members to form an arcing framework over the support members. A rain fly may be overlaid on the flexible rods. The support members may include an angled aperture for receiving an end of the flexible rods and end caps may be provided over ends of the support members. The flexible rods are held in compression between the angled apertures and/or the end caps.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: E2E L.L.C.Inventor: Donald Jay Gustason

Patent number: 11306499Abstract: A spa cover constructed of layers of pliable insulation encapsulated within a weatherproof vinyl reinforced fabric or a rubber membrane which is attached to rigid square support tubes that run parallel to the short end of the spa. The encapsulated insulation is fastened to the bottom of the square support tubes with corrosion-free nylon anchors which allows the soft insulation assembly to span over the water and rest directly on the spa bartop surface sealing the heat in and keeping debris out. An arched fiberglass rod structure supports a weatherproof rainfly which is permanently affixed to the flat cover assembly to shed rain and debris. The entire assembly is held in place at each end with adjustable straps which stretch the cover from end to end keeping the rainfly taut. Removing the cover to access the spa involves undoing the straps on one end and rolling the cover assembly towards the other end until the desired amount of spa exposure is reached.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: E2E L.L.C.Inventor: Donald Jay Gustason
