Abstract

See full text

A pool cleaner includes a body, a water source connection, a gear drive and a suspension arrangement. The body defines a suction opening on a lower surface thereof. The gear drive is mounted to the body and includes a drive housing and a pair of gears with intermeshing teeth rotatably mounted in the drive housing. The drive housing is in fluid communication with the water source connection such that associated water flow is directed around the pair of gears, imparting rotational motion thereto. The suspension arrangement is driven by the gear drive and supports the body for motion over a pool surface. An alternator can be driven by the gear drive and power various electric components. A skirt assembly and ducts above the water source connection can improve suction. The gear drive can be used to power other pool devices.
