A safety ladder for a pool includes a movable ladder portion that can be moved between an accessible position and an inaccessible position. The movable ladder portion is disposed substantially outside of the pool and provides a series of steps that can be climbed vertically for entry into the pool when it is located in the accessible position. In the inaccessible position, the movable ladder portion is moved such that the steps can no longer be climbed and access to the pool is prevented. Such safety ladder assemblies are provided primarily to prevent children and other at risk individuals from entering an unattended pool. A dampening member is provided such that the force necessary to move the movable ladder portion is regulated to prevent a dangerous accumulation of moment and limit a risk of injury through harmful contact therewith.

Described is a hinged sliding assembly for a pool cover assembly including a slider member having a rod member and defining an opening, wherein the slider member is coupleable to a pool cover; and a hinged rope lock member coupled to the rod member and positioned at least partially within the opening, wherein the hinged rope lock member is coupleable to a rope of the pool cover.

A flexible liner that is inserted onto bathtubs or children swimming pools to help cushion an impact and mitigate injury when a bather or swimmer falls on the hard ledges covered by the flexible liner. The device covers the ledges of the bathtub or pool with a soft, cushioning material and is attached to the bathtub or pool to maintain its position along dangerous, hard surfaces. The flexible liner has connectors where toys or other useful devices can be attached for the bather or swimmer to play with or utilize. The flexible liner is designed to add cushioning to decrease impact injury and entertain the bather or swimmer.

A modular partition track system includes a modular base portion configured to be positioned on a ground surface. A first track subsystem is positioned on at least a portion of a first surface of the modular base portion. The first track subsystem includes one or more slidable partition coupling assemblies configured to slide along the first track sub system.

A method of anchoring multiple tie-downs of a pool cover of an in-ground swimming pool, which is surrounded by stone or concrete pavers, uses a tubular footing member with multiple flange plates laterally extending along its length. The flange plates include a base flange plate which enclosed the distal end of the footing member and one or more medial flange plates surrounding the tubular circumference of the footing member between its proximal and distal ends. The proximal end of the footing member is open and this proximal opening has interior threading which conjugately mates with the threaded shank of a coupling screw to which a tie-down is anchored.

A system for adjusting surface level, comprising a moveable surface; a mechanism adapted to be disposed between and coupled to the moveable surface and a fixed surface; a force transfer mechanism configured to be coupled to the mechanism for displacement of the moveable surface relative to the fixed surface; and a plurality of stopping rods, disposed between the moveable surface and the fixed surface, which are operative for restricting an axial movement of the moveable surface relative to the fixed surface in a first mode of operation and for restricting a radial movement of the moveable surface relative to the fixed surface in a second mode of operation.

A pool cover deployment apparatus is provided. A pool cover deployment apparatus for assisting in manual overlay of a pool cover onto a surface of a pool, comprising an elongated member comprising one or more first attachment members affixed to a front side of the elongated member and one or more second attachment members affixed to a back side of the elongated member. The elongated member is coupled to a leading edge of the pool cover via one or more fasteners and the one or more first attachment members. A pulling mechanism and a means of attaching the cover to the pulling mechanism wherein the pulling mechanism is manually employed by a user such that the pool cover is extended over the pool.
