Suntan sprinkler mattress

Abstract

This pool apparatus functions as a floating platform on the pool that a person can relax or recreated with or set on a solid area to lounge on. The main functions are the timed or manually controlled sprinkler mechanism that is intended to cool a person off while they are relaxing on it, a speaker system that will enable a user to hear sound such as music, optional maneuverability through manual or remote control.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 1

FIG. 1 is a side view of the apparatus and is described as follows:

a) Point 1 on the drawing represents a rubber or plastic hose or any other material hose that connects the apparatus to a water reservoir, like the swimming pool or a portable water container, for the water intake water line for the water pump mechanism at point 3.

b) Point 2 is a threaded coupler that couples the hose to the apparatus and contains a screen to filter debris that may be entering the water pump system from the water reservoir.

c) Point 3 is the water pump mechanism and water pump control mechanism, which can be integrated into the design on any point on or in the apparatus.

d) Point 4 points to the water line/conduit that exits the water pump mechanism and connects the point 3 mechanism with points 5.

e) Points 5 point to the sprinkler nozzles/heads.

f) Point 6 points to a part of the user interface with the water pump control mechanism and is the manual override for the water pump control mechanism to release water manually. These are conveniently located near where the hands will rest.

g) Point 7 on top of the point 3 mechanism is part of the user interface with the water pump control mechanism and is the interface to power on/off the water pump mechanism circuit and to set the amount of time delayed between the activations of the water pump mechanism.

h) Point 8 points to the line that represents the low voltage wiring that connects point 6 to point 3.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 2

FIG. 2 is a drawing of the end of the apparatus where the water intake is of the apparatus and is described as follows:

a) Point 9 is a knob that will control a valve that will open/close the connection between the point 3 mechanism and the water line that makes up point 10 that connects the point 3 mechanism to points 10.

b) Point 10 is a water line/conduit that feeds water to points 11.

c) Point 11 is the sprinkler nozzles/heads at the head end of the apparatus.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 3

FIG. 3 is a 3 dimensional view of the apparatus and is described as follows:

a) Point 2 is a threaded coupler that couples the hose to the apparatus and contains a screen to filter debris that may be entering the water pump system from the water reservoir.

b) Point 3 is the water pump mechanism and water pump control mechanism, which can be integrated into the design on any point on or in the apparatus.

c) Point 4 points to the water line/conduit that exits the water pump mechanism and connects the point 3 mechanism with points 5.

d) Points 5 point to the sprinkler nozzles/heads.

e) Point 6 points to a part of the user interface with the water pump control mechanism and is the manual override for the water pump control mechanism to release water manually.

These are conveniently located near where the hands will rest.

f) Point 7 on top of the point 3 mechanism is part of the user interface with the water pump control mechanism and is the interface to power on/off the water pump mechanism circuit and to set the amount of time delayed between the activations of the water pump mechanism.

g) Point 8 points to the line that represents the low voltage wiring that connects point 6 to point 3.

h) Point 9 is a knob that will control a valve that will open/close the connection between the point 3 mechanism and the water line that makes up point 10 that connects the point 3 mechanism to points 10.

i) Point 10 is a water line/conduit that feeds water to points 11.

j) Point 11 is the sprinkler nozzles/heads at the head end of the apparatus.

k) Point 12 is where you can inflate the apparatus with air at the foot end of the apparatus.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 4

FIG. 4 is a 3 dimensional view of the apparatus and is described as follows:

a) Point 13 is the speaker wire that connects the speakers wherever they may be on the apparatus to the mechanism at point 3 which could consist of:

aa) The Water Pump mechanism

bb) The power source

cc) The audio components that deliver sound to the speakers/sound emitting devices.

dd) The radio control mechanism that controls the maneuvering capabilities on the apparatus.

b) Point 14 is a speculative location where speakers or areas that speakers will be built into the apparatus.

• • aa) The apparatus may have waterproof/water resistant speakers integrated anywhere into or on the framework or body for the use of music listening pleasure

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 5

FIG. 5 is a flow chart for the circuitry that will be used in the apparatus for the water pump mechanism.

Point 5A is the Power source with some sort of power switch.

Points 5B are the wires that are delivering current to the Electrical Relay Switch.

Point 5C is the manual control interface or manual Override from the state machine at point 5E

Point 5D is a momentarily closed electrical switch.

Point 5E is a state machine that will determine the mode that the point 3 water pump mechanism will be in and how long the delay will be set before current flows to the electrical relay to relay current to the motor in the submersible water pump.

Point 5F is an integrated circuit logical OR gate.

Point 5G is the electrical relay switch.

Points 5H are the wires delivering current to the submersible water pump.

Point 5i is the power source for the Submersible water pump motor.

Point 5J is the submersible water pump.

Point 5K is a power switch that switches on the Power Source 5A and 5H
