Pneumatic/Hydraulic Wave Generator

US Patent:
4812077, Mar 14, 1989
Filed:
Dec 17, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/134091
Inventors:
George W. Raike - Ashland OH
Assignee:
The Great Wave Company, Inc. - Overland Park KS
International Classification:
E04H 318, E03B 300
US Classification:
405 79
Abstract:
A pneumatic/hydraulic wave generator is associated with the deep end of a swimming pool and includes a pneumatic system with a pair of inner caissons and a pair of outer caissons. The caissons communicate with the swimming pool through a submerged passage. A pneumatic system includes a motor-driven fan which communicates selectively with duct lines to the caissons through a pair of two-position air directional valve assemblies. When the caissons are actuated with pressurized air from the fan, the water levels therein are driven down, creating waves in the swimming pool.
