Abstract:
1. A pool lift to move a person between a pool deck adjacent to a pool structure having a peripheral shell defining a pool cavity, comprising in combination: a rigid somewhat rectilinear base having a flat substantially planar lower surface with a forward edge positionable substantially parallel to an edge of a pool, a rearward edge positionable distally from the pool edge and first and second ends; a lift frame, having an arcuate configuration in a vertical plane perpendicular to the adjacent pool peripheral shell with a first lower end, a second upper end and a vertically medial protuberant portion, said lift frame pivotally interconnected with the base at the first lower end by a horizontal lift frame axle supported on the base adjacent the first end, the lift frame having a concave arcuate curvature in a direction toward the pool cavity; a powering means interconnecting the base at a point spacedly adjacent the second end of the base and the protuberant portion of the lift frame to move the lift frame between an upright position above the pool deck to a downward position with the lift frame second upper end in the pool cavity spacedly below the pool deck; a chair user support structure carried by a user support axle at the second upper end of the lift frame to extend parallel to the lift frame axle; and a control mechanism carried by the chair user support structure to regulate the powering means to adjustably determine the position of the lift frame and chair user support carried thereby.
