Patent number: 11428021Abstract: A dome shaped roof structure for outdoor pools, both above ground pools and with minimal modification inground pools, that does not interfere with the use of the pool consisting of a plurality of flexibility poles supported by the pool, with a flexible tension ring holding the pole ends together over the center of the pool and a net fabric material that covers the pole and tension ring frame which is secured around the top of the pool. The roof structure works for all shapes and many sizes of pools providing protection from bugs and debris while still maintaining the outdoor experience. The high flexibility of the frame and tension ring allows winds and rain to flow thru without damage to the roof during inclement weather. The low number of elements that make up the roof structure make it inexpensive as well as easy to assemble, dismantle and store.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Inventors: John J. Andrews, Sandra Conklin

Patent number: 8025765Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a multi-layer nonwoven fiber material, and related methods of manufacturing the material. In one exemplary embodiment, the fiber material includes a first layer of directionally aligned fibers together with a second layer of randomly dispersed fibers dispersed over the first layer. Consistent with one exemplary method for manufacturing a nonwoven fiber material, the method includes dispersing a first plurality of fibers horizontally in one or more predetermined directions, as well as dispersing a second plurality of fibers horizontally in random directions. In such an embodiment, the second plurality of fibers is dispersed over the first plurality of fibers. Moreover, an exemplary embodiment of a roofing shingle employing a nonwoven fiber material as described herein is as disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Building Materials Investment CorporationInventors: Paul G. Wilson, Darrell R. Heine, John J. Andrews, Louis T. Hahn, Matti Kiik
