Device to make safe layer of ice of garden pond has net drawn tight across pond's surface providing reinforcement for ice layer, whose weight allows it to float below water level

摘要

Device has net (2) drawn tight across surface of pond or standing water (1), which forms reinforcement for ice layer (5) embedded within it. Net's weight specifically allows the net to float just below the water level (3). The depth (4) at which it floats allows it to become embedded in layer of ice. Its mesh size excludes larger objects such as a foot or hand.
