Abstract: A swimming pool cover for extension over and retraction from a swimming pool and where the cover may engage a portion of the deck surrounding the swimming pool during movement thereof. The swimming pool cover comprises a flexible fabric sheet of the type capable of being spooled or rolled and capable of being unrolled to extend over a swimming pool. The swimming pool cover is comprised of a sheet having a top surface and a bottom surface with the bottom surface extending over and potentially in contact with the upper surface of the water in the swimming pool. In order to reduce frictional effects between the bottom surface of the swimming pool cover and the upper surface of the deck, the swimming pool cover is provided with a surface configuration which is roughened to substantially reduce surface area contact of the sheet with the deck of the swimming pool. In this way, frictional effects between the cover and the deck are reduced during movement thereof. The bottom surface configuration may adopt any of a variety of forms, including ribs formed on the bottom surface of the sheet, a mesh screen-like substrate secured to the bottom surface of the sheet, or a plurality of projections similar to those of an artificial turf secured to the bottom surface of the sheet, etc.

Abstract translation: 一个游泳池盖，用于从游泳池延伸和缩回，并且在运动过程中盖子可能与游泳池周围的甲板的一部分接合。 游泳池盖包括一种柔性织物片，其能够卷绕或卷起并能够展开以在游泳池上延伸。 游泳池盖由具有顶表面和底表面的片材组成，底表面延伸并可能与游泳池中的水的上表面接触。 为了减少游泳池盖的底面与甲板的上表面之间的摩擦效应，游泳池盖具有粗糙化的表面构造，以大大减小片材与甲板的表面积接触 游泳池。 以这种方式，在其运动期间，盖和甲板之间的摩擦效应减小。 底表面构造可以采用各种形式的任何形式，包括形成在片材的底表面上的肋，固定到片材的底表面的网状网状基底，或类似于人造的多个突起 草皮固定在纸张的底面等。
