  • Patent number: 4068653
    Abstract: An apparatus for collecting the heat from solar energy for use in heating applications such as swimming pools. The apparatus is comprised of a panel having three separately movable structures, each rotatably independent of each other in order to provide a maximum amount of rotation in a relatively compact area. The apparatus is constructed of a plurality of rotatable carriers and frames mounted on vertical legs or posts which are supported on a movable base. A main frame or carriage is rotatably supported on axles attached to the vertical legs. A pair of smaller frames are rotatably supported on each end of the main carriage. The two rotatable frames have a plurality of conduits or pipes for circulating a fluid each at the focal point of a magnifying lens to collect the heat energy of the sun.
