its orientation with the surface of the liquid and another float not shown is optionally connected at the proximal end for similar reasons it can thus be seen that the apparatus can be positioned perpendicular to the current flow by the arrangement while allowing the apparatus to rise and fall with the level of the liquid surface this method of assembly allows the pool skimming apparatus to be constructed as a series of panels which are easily built and interchangeable with panels of similar size and configuration this method of manufacture reduces the number of unique parts required to configure a skimmer and thus reduces the cost of manufacture i e tooling inventory complexity etc from this example it can be seen that the design of the pool skimmer apparatus lends itself to numerous ways to reduce part count by judicious engineering referring to fig2 pool skimmer 20 installed for use in a swimming pool 210 by positioning skimmer 20 adjacent to the edge 210 and supporting skimmer 20 by support means 111 consisting any convenient means on the edge 210 preferably simple weight lying next to the pool skimmer 20 extends towards the interior 206 of the pool 205 and away from edge 210 so that skimmer 20 is partially immersed longitudinally with the water level generally bisecting inlet 115 the orientation of skimmer 20 is such that the generally circular pool current generated by the force of water emitted from pump nozzle 200 flows into inlet portion 115.
