Abstract: The invention relates to a pool liner assembly that comprises a main liner subassembly and a secondary liner subassembly. The main liner subassembly comprises a main liner sheet for lining the walls of a pool, and a main liner clip attached to the top edge of the main liner sheet for attaching the main liner subassembly to a coping of the pool. The secondary liner subassembly comprises a secondary liner sheet overlapping an upper portion of the main liner sheet and having a bottom edge that is attached to the main liner sheet, and a secondary liner clip attached to the top edge of the secondary liner sheet, for attaching the secondary liner subassembly to the coping of the pool. The secondary liner subassembly may be attached to the front or back of the main liner subassembly. After the portion of the assembly facing the sun has faded, it can be removed to reveal an fresh underlying portion of the assembly.

Abstract: A bracing system for in-ground steel and vinyl swimming pools that allows the pool to be constructed very quickly and without the use of concrete either on the braces or around the bottom perimeter of the pool is described. The bracing system works by properly using the resistance of undisturbed earth around the perimeter of the pool (after excavating for the pool) and the weight and correct placement of the back-fill material reintroduced around the pool. Each earth brace system is comprised of a number of structural components in contact with peripheral wall panels of the pool. These include a horizontal lower structural member, an upper structural member, a diagonal brace member and a vertical support member. The horizontal and upper structural members each possess load bearing pad assemblies at their ends away from the wall panels to contact undisturbed earth surrounding the pool (after excavation).

Abstract: An above-ground swimming pool wall construction is disclosed. The pool wall is located and secured in, top and bottom connectors in combination with upright or vertical posts. Top and bottom tracks protect the upper and lower edges of the pool wall and secure it in receptacles in the top and bottom connectors. A finishing cover or cap is provided to cover each upper connector assembly. The track and its associated receptacles on the connectors have a generally triangular configuration in cross-section so as to be captured and located more securely in the connectors. The triangular shaped track may also include a liner bead retainer. The cap design is such that it is fixed in position with no visible means of securement.

Abstract: A concrete form and a pool wall and deck support system is disclosed. The pool wall may be formed of steel, plastic, aluminum or wood and has a plurality of wall panels secured together in end-to-end relation to define the perimeter of the structure. Wall supports or brace structures fabricated from non-compressible material such as concrete are attached to, and support both the wall of the pool and the perimeter deck therearound. The pool wall, coping and deck are supported by the top of the concrete brace structure. In a preferred embodiment, the brace structure is fabricated from pairs of nestable forms made from a suitable material such as corrugated cardboard and are located beside the pool walls, reinforcing bars are attached to the pool walls and interconnect the latter with the walls and the forms are filled with concrete and are so structured as to have the concrete engage the flanges of the pool wall panels.

Abstract: A plastic wall, vinyl liner pool construction has structural foam, injection moulded wall panels secured together in end to end relation. The panels are supported by hollow X-shaped braces fabricated from injection moulded structural foam which is filled with a non-compressible material such as concrete to provide a plastic shell with a solid core supporting the pool wall and a concrete deck around the perimeter of the pool. The pool wall, coping and liner are suspended from the top of the X-shaped structure.
