FILTER BAG FOR A POOL CLEANER

摘要

An improved filter bag is provided for mounting onto a suction mast (20) of a pool cleaner to retain and collect debris and the like vacuumed by the pool cleaner from submerged floor or wall surfaces of a swimming pool. The filter bag includes a porous bag-shaped filter element (22) having an open mouth mounted to a latch collar adapted for quick release coupling to a downstream end of the pool cleaner suction mast (20). The filter element (22) and latch collar include interfitting alignment members to ensure filter element (22) assembly with the latch collar in a desired front-to-rear orientation. The suction mast (20) and latch collar further include additional interfitting alignment members for latch collar mounting onto the pool cleaner in a desired front-to-rear orientation, thereby ensuring proper orientation of the filter bag on the pool cleaner.
