The present disclosure relates to a water sprayer and various features thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a water sprayer for use in a pool, and to a method for using the same. In various embodiments, the water sprayer may include a water output mechanism and a light source that is powered by flowing water to provide illumination functionality.

This presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a bi-directional toy configured to be used as a trampoline and further to be used, upon turning said bi-directional toy upside down, in at least one of the following functions: a playpen-like device, a water pool, and a sphere pool. The toy comprises at least a frame with a plurality of legs configured to elevate the trampoline from a base surface; a bounce mat configured to allow usage of the toy as a trampoline; and the encircling member configured to be attached to the legs for creating a delimited area for use in at least one of the functions.

A pool apparatus has a surrounding side frame, a tarpaulin and a top portion frame. The surrounding side frame provides a closed geometrical shape defined on the ground after the tarpaulin is surrounded with respect to the ground. The tarpaulin may be constituted by various kinds of waterproof materials. The tarpaulin has a bottom portion, a side portion and a top portion. The shape of the bottom of the tarpaulin corresponds to the closed geometrical shape. The side portion of the tarpaulin connects to the bottom portion and surrounding the surrounding side frame. The top portion of the tarpaulin connects to the side portion of the tarpaulin. The thickness of top portion of the tarpaulin is thicker than the thickness of the other portion s of the tarpaulin. The top portion frame clips the top portion to fix the tarpaulin.

A mounting rack for supporting a wave-making mechanism in a pool includes a connecting bracket coupled to a side wall of the pool. The connecting bracket includes a support bracket with an adjustable opening configured to receive an upper portion of the pool and at least one connecting bar configured for vertical adjustment along the side wall of the pool. The mounting rack further includes a suspension bracket operably coupled to the connecting bracket and configured to support the wave-making mechanism in the pool, and a bottom surface of the wave-making mechanism is generally parallel to a bottom surface of the pool.

A support frame for supporting a pool liner to form a frame pool is provided. The support frame includes: a first support assembly; and a second support assembly, wherein the first support assembly is detachably connected above and supported by the second support assembly. A frame pool is provided including a pool liner and the support frame. The pool liner includes: a first side wall supported by the first support assembly; and a second side wall supported by the second support assembly. The first side wall extends upwards in the vertical direction over an upper portion of the second side wall, and a lower edge of the first side wall is connected to at least part of the second side wall. The first side wall includes a transparent portion and the second side wall includes a non-transparent portion.

A method for building a custom pool that a user, using an online software platform, selects from a set of predefined pool designs and optionally customizes or designs using a plurality of pool sections from a pool section library. The pool sections are fabricated with an expanded polystyrene foam process, and a kit of the pool sections and joining members are assembled into a kit of components which are delivered to the site where the pool will be built. The pool sections are assembled with the joining members in an excavated void to form a pool shell by inserting a joining member into opposing surfaces of each adjoining pair of pool sections, optionally spraying expanded polystyrene foam around the intersection of the adjoining pool sections to strengthen the bond. Concrete is then sprayed onto the pool shell to form a contiguous pool wall surface.

A frame pool having a plurality of vertical support tubes, a plurality of horizontal support tubes, a pool body comprising a pool bottom and a pool wall, and a reinforcing band having a continuous annular shape and provided between the inner side of the vertical support tubes and an outer surface of the pool wall. The reinforcing band entirely or partially covering the perimeter of the pool body and being fitted with the pool wall. A fixing band having a continuous annular shape is provided about an outer surface of the reinforcing band and of the vertical support tubes. At least one fixing device is fixedly coupled to the reinforcing band, wherein the fixing band passes through the fixing device.

An above ground frame pool (10) includes a frame assembly (20) and a liner (40) supported by the frame assembly (20). The frame assembly (20) includes a plurality of horizontal pipes (22), a plurality of vertical pipes (24), and a plurality of T-shaped joints (30). The joints (30) may lack mechanical fasteners with adjacent pipes or corresponding apertures. The joints (30) may be one-piece or multi-piece structures. Such joints (30) maybe water-resistant and convenient to manufacture, assemble, disassemble, and store.

An improved drain for an above-ground pool is disclosed. A variety of above-ground pool types are considered. Above-ground pools must be drained after use before being stored in a lengthy and time-consuming process. The improved drain can advantageously remain open during the draining process allowing for improved drainage. The drain can comprise a plug member and a locking member. The plug member can be configured to attach to the locking member when open. This and other embodiments are disclosed herein.
