Conversely, the reservoir accessory assembly may restrict access to the at least one accessory. In this manner, undesired visitors and animals may be prevented from accessing the at least one accessory, including, without limitation, children, pets, vandals, and inspectors. In some alternate embodiments, the assembly may include an alarm system to indicate an unauthorized entry.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the reservoir accessory assembly may reduce noise levels that emit from the at least one accessory. Those skilled in the art, in light of the present teachings, will recognize that pumps and heaters may generate excessive noise levels. A user may be hindered and inconvenienced by the high noise levels emitting from the at least one accessory. In some embodiments, the reservoir accessory assembly may provide a decorative enclosure for the at least one accessory. In this manner, unsightly pipes that extend from the pump portion and unsightly wires that extend from the electrical portion may remain out of sight.
- All the features or embodiment components disclosed in this specification, including any accompanying abstract and drawings, unless expressly stated otherwise, may be replaced by alternative features or components serving the same, equivalent or similar purpose as known by those skilled in the art to achieve the same, equivalent, suitable, or similar results by such alternative feature(s) or component(s) providing a similar function by virtue of their having known suitable properties for the intended purpose. Thus, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature disclosed is one example only of a generic series of equivalent, or suitable, or similar features known or knowable to those skilled in the art without requiring undue experimentation.
- Having fully described at least one embodiment of the present invention, other equivalent or alternative methods of implementing a protective enclosure for pool accessories according to the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Various aspects of the invention have been described above by way of illustration, and the specific embodiments disclosed are not intended to limit the invention to the particular forms disclosed. The particular implementation of the protective enclosure for pool accessories may vary depending upon the particular context or application. By way of example, and not limitation, the described in the foregoing were principally directed to protective enclosures for pool pumps, pipes, chlorine, and electrical components implementations; however, similar techniques may instead be applied to a protective enclosure in the bathroom to secure plumbing equipment and cleaning chemicals, which implementations of the present invention are contemplated as within the scope of the present invention. The invention is thus to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the following claims. It is to be further understood that not all of the disclosed embodiments in the foregoing specification will necessarily satisfy or achieve each of the objects, advantages, or improvements described in the foregoing specification.
- Claim elements and steps herein may have been numbered and/or lettered solely as an aid in readability and understanding. Any such numbering and lettering in itself is not intended to and should not be taken to indicate the ordering of elements and/or steps in the claims.
