Abstract:

A skimmer pool closure assembly for closing off a swimming pool from a pool skimmer that is mounted to the pool adjacent a side wall opening includes a face plate attachable to either the pool skimmer or the side wall and having a configuration generally coextensive with the side wall opening. The face plate has a centrally located opening for registration with the side wall opening and pool skimmer. The skimmer pool closure assembly includes a hatch cover removably and threadedly securable to the face plate and is sized to snugly fit within or about the face plate opening for preventing water from entering the skimmer. The hatch cover includes a tool receiving slot for enabling a person to install and remove the hatch cover from the face plate. Alternatively, a safety insert may be threadedly secured to the face plate for selectively allowing items and water into the skimmer.

International Classification:

A47G 106

US Classification:

40711

Abstract:

A picture framing system is disclosed for mounting, displaying and protecting a photograph or work of art on a vertical surface of ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, or a non-metallic surface without using nails. The picture framing system includes a sleeve or pocket-type photograph holder which can be used with various styles of mats and picture frames for mounting, displaying, and protecting the photograph against the flat vertical surface, such as a refrigerator door or dining room wall. The picture framing system includes a flexible sheet having an adhesive front surface for attachment to the photograph holder and a magnetized rear surface for permitting the attachment of either type of photograph holder to a ferrous metal surface. The picture framing system also includes a flat, flexible ferro-magnetic sheet having a front magnetically-attractive surface and a rear adhesive surface for allowing either type of photograph holder and the picture frame to be mounted on a non-ferrous metal surface or any non-metallic surface. In addition, the picture framing system includes a centering tool for centering the photograph or art work on the mat and within the sleeve or pocket-type photograph holder and also within the picture frame.
