  • Patent number: 11549276
    Abstract: A foldable, portable fabric children's wading pool for installation in the ground and which has improved stability characteristics is provided. The pool includes a base region with a generally circular sheet of water-resistant woven fabric with a thread denier of between 400 denier and 600 denier, a stabilizer region comprising one or more sections of woven fabric with a thread denier of between 200 denier and 400 denier, where the stabilizer region is affixed to the outer edge of the base region, and with a number of sand anchors affixed to the stabilizer region. The pool is set up by digging a hole in the ground and forming berms along the edges of the hole. Then, the pool is unfolded and positioned such that the waterproof fabric base is in the hole, and the sand anchor section extends downwardly and outwardly from the edge of the sand berm.

  • Patent number: 9963894
    Abstract: A foldable, portable fabric children's wading pool for installation in the ground and which has improved stability characteristics is provided. The pool includes a waterproof fabric base, a middle stabilizer section with a removable and adjustable sand stabilizer, and a sand anchor section for holding a weighting material such as sand. The pool is set up by digging a hole in the ground and forming berms along the edges of the hole. Then, the pool is unfolded and positioned such that the waterproof fabric base is in the hole, the middle stabilizer section is on the top of the sand berm, and the sand anchor section extends downwardly and outwardly from the edge of the sand berm. The removable and adjustable sand stabilizers are put in place. Then, a weighting material is loaded onto the sand anchor section and the pool is filled with water, preferably using the waterproof bag that also serves as a storage and transport bag for the pool when folded.

  • Publication number: 20050173884
    Abstract: A stabilization system for front suspensions of vehicles, particularly for four-wheel drive, off road vehicles with straight axles. The system includes an axle mounting plate, an adjustable rod with hime joints at either end, and a chassis mounting plate for securing the adjustable rod to a portion of the vehicle's chassis substantially vertically of the axle. The substantially rigid linkage between the front axle and the chassis in the manner depicted, has the effect of significantly stabilizing the vehicle against lateral rocking associated particularly with the presence of lift kits in such vehicles.
