<p>An apparatus and method for removing and storing a swimming pool cover from an above-ground level pool. The apparatus includes a pair of pedestals disposed at the edge of the pool and diametrically opposed to each other. A pair of U-shaped members are provided, each of the U-shaped members being rotatably mounted on one of the pedestals. A tube member having hand wheels mounted at each end thereof is disposed in the U-shaped members. The swimming pool cover is attached to-the tube member. The sides of the U-shaped members are spaced to permit the tube member to rotate therein. In operation, one of the hand wheels is first rotated to roll or wind the cover upon the pole member. Then one end of the pole member is lifted to clear its U-shaped member and the freed end is thence carried around the periphery of the pool to a predetermined location where a third U-shaped member or hook is provided. The freed end is rested in the third U-shaped member or hook. Then the other end of the pole member is lifted out of its U-shaped member and thence carried to and laid in a fourth U-shaped member or hook to store the pool cover and make the pool available for use.</p> |
