Swimming pool cleaning with wall climbing capability and method therefor

1. An automated swimming pool cleaner comprising:

a housing having an inlet formed on a bottom surface thereof;

a drive mechanism located within the housing;

a first rolling mechanism coupled to a bottom section of the housing;

a second rolling mechanism coupled to the bottom section of the housing; and

a single third rolling mechanism coupled to the bottom section of the housing in a center area of the housing between the first rolling mechanism and the second rolling mechanism, the single third rolling mechanism extending lower from the housing than the first rolling mechanism and the second rolling mechanism to allow the automated swimming pool cleaner to balance and move about a floor on the single third rolling mechanism, the automated swimming pool cleaner pivotable about the single third rolling mechanism in an up and down manner, the pivoting of the automated swimming pool cleaner about the single third rolling mechanism allowing the automated swimming pool cleaner to lift and raise a front section when the front section engages a wall allowing the first rolling mechanism to move up the wall while allowing the single third rolling mechanism to remain in contact with the floor;

a fourth rolling mechanism coupled to the bottom section of the housing; and

a fifth rolling mechanism coupled to the bottom section of the housing;

wherein the first rolling mechanism and the second rolling mechanism are coupled to the bottom section of the housing at a first plane level, the fourth rolling mechanism and the fifth rolling mechanism are coupled to the bottom section of the housing at a second plane level, the second plane level being lower on the housing than the first plane level, and the third rolling mechanism is coupled to the bottom section of the housing at a third plane level, the third plane level being lower on the housing than the second plane level;

wherein the drive mechanism rotates at least one of the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism, or the third rolling mechanism.

2. The automated swimming pool cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a set of tracks coupled to the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism and the third rolling mechanism.

3. The automated swimming pool cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism and the third rolling mechanism each comprises one of a wheel set, a roller or a combination of a wheel set and roller.

4. The automated swimming pool cleaner in accordance with claim 3 , further comprising brushing elements extending from the roller.

5. The automated swimming pool cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a plate member extending down from the housing protecting the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism, the third rolling mechanism, the fourth rolling mechanism and the fifth rolling mechanism.

6. An automated swimming pool cleaner comprising:

a housing;

a pump located within the housing;

an inlet formed on a bottom surface of the housing for sucking up of dirt and debris into the housing through a vacuum created by the pump;

a first rolling mechanism coupled to a bottom front section of the housing;

a second rolling mechanism coupled to a bottom rear section of the housing;

a third rolling mechanism coupled to a bottom section of the housing between the first rolling mechanism and the second rolling mechanism, the third rolling mechanism extending lower from the housing than the first rolling mechanism and the second rolling mechanism allowing the automated swimming pool cleaner to balance and move about a floor of a pool on the single third rolling mechanism and to allow the automated swimming pool cleaner to pivot about the third rolling mechanism allowing the automated swimming pool cleaner to lift and raise a front section of the automated swimming pool cleaner when the front section engages a wall of the pool to allow the first rolling mechanism to move up the wall while allowing the third rolling mechanism to remain on the floor;

a fourth rolling mechanism coupled to the bottom section of the housing;

a fifth rolling mechanism coupled to the bottom section of the housing; and

a drive mechanism located within the housing rotating at least one of the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism, or the third rolling mechanism;

wherein the first rolling mechanism and the second rolling mechanism are coupled to the bottom section of the housing at a first plane level, the fourth rolling mechanism and the fifth rolling mechanism are coupled to the bottom section of the housing at a second plane level, and the third rolling mechanism is coupled to the bottom section of the housing at a third plane level, the second plane level being lower on the housing than the first plane level and the third plane level being lower on the housing than the second plane level.

7. The automated swimming pool cleaner in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism and the third rolling mechanism each comprises one of a wheel set, a roller or a combination of a wheel set and roller.

8. The automated swimming pool cleaner in accordance with claim 6 , further comprising a plate member extending down from the housing protecting the first rolling mechanism, the second rolling mechanism, the third rolling mechanism, the fourth rolling mechanism and the fifth rolling mechanism.
