Abstract:
A raft anchoring assembly for anchoring a raft in a swimming pool includes a raft for floating in a swimming pool. A plurality of anchors is included and each of the anchors includes a line is coupled to a suction cup. The suction cup on each of the anchors engages a floor or a wall of a swimming pool to secure the anchors. A plurality of attachments is provided and each of the attachments is coupled to the outer surface of the raft. The line of each of the anchors is releasably coupled to a respective one of the attachments to inhibit the raft from drifting in the pool.

Claim (Index 14):
A raft anchoring assembly being configured to secure a raft to a floor or walls of a swimming pool, said assembly comprising:\n a raft being configured to float in a swimming pool, said raft having an outer surface; a plurality of anchors, each of said anchors including a line being coupled to a suction cup wherein each of said anchors is configured to have said suction cup engage a floor or a wall of a swimming pool, said suction cup of each of said anchors having a top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, each of said top surface and said bottom surface being concavely arcuate with respect to said peripheral edge to define a bowl wherein said suction cup of each of said anchors is configured to suctionally engage the floor or the wall of the swimming pool, said line of each of said anchors being attached to said top surface of said suction cup of a respective one of said anchors, said line of each of said anchors having a plurality of balls thereon, said balls on said line of each of said anchors being spaced apart from each other and being distributed along said line of said respective anchor; a plurality of tabs, each of said tabs being coupled to said suction cup of a respective one of said anchors wherein said tab on said suction cup of said respective anchor is configured to be gripped to release said suction cup of said respective anchor from the wall or the floor of the swimming pool, each of said tabs having an opening extending therethrough for gripping; and a plurality of attachments, each of said attachments being coupled to said outer surface of said raft, said line of each of said anchors being releasably coupled to a respective one of said attachments wherein said raft is configured to be inhibited from drifting in the pool, each of said attachments comprising:\n a panel having a first surface and a second surface, said panel being comprised of a deformable material; \n a raft mating member being coupled to said first surface of said panel, said raft mating member engaging said outer surface of said raft to retain said panel on said raft; \n a first mating member being coupled to said second surface of said panel, said first mating member covering said second surface; \n a coupler having a top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, said peripheral edge having a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a back side extending between said first lateral side and said second lateral side, said coupler including a pair of feet each extending laterally away from the respective one of said first lateral side and said second lateral side, said coupler having a first aperture extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said coupler having a second aperture extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said coupler having a channel extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said channel intersecting each of said first aperture and said second aperture, said first aperture having a diameter being sufficient to insertably receive a selected one of said balls on said line of a respective one of said anchors, said line of said respective anchor being extended through said channel until said line of said respective anchor is positioned in said second aperture, said second aperture having a diameter being insufficient to pass said selected ball therethrough such that said line of said respective anchor is releasably coupled to said coupler; and \n a second mating member being coupled to said back side of said coupler, said second mating member being wrapped upwardly around each of said feet on said coupler, said coupler being positioned on said panel having said second mating member releasably engaging said first mating member to retain said coupler on said panel, said panel being wrapped around each of said feet such that a portion of said second mating member on each of said feet releasably engages said first mating member on a portion of said panel being wrapped around each of said feet.
