Pool cover anchor

1. A pool cover anchor system, for use on deck boards surrounding a pool to support a hook of the pool cover, said pool cover anchor system comprising:

a first anchor part comprising:

an elongated member having a first end and a second end, said elongated member comprising a first opening and a second opening, and comprising a length configured for a first side of said elongated member to overlie and contact a first deck board and to at least overlie a portion of an adjacent second deck board when installed; and

an anchor member configured to extend away from a second side of said elongated member, and configured for the hook of the pool cover to mount thereto;

a second anchor part comprising: a base, and first and second legs that extend away from opposite ends of said base to form a single unitary part being substantially U-shaped:

wherein a first portion of said base is pivotally mounted to said first opening in said elongated member of said first anchor part;

wherein a second portion of said base is configured to extend away from said first portion of said second anchor part, and to bear against the first deck board; and

wherein said first leg is positioned proximate to said second side of said elongated member, to thereat being manually actuable between a first pivot position where said second leg is substantially perpendicular to said elongated member, and at least a second pivot position where said second leg is substantially parallel to said elongated member and configured to thereat be positioned beneath the first deck board when installed; and

a third anchor part comprising:

a first portion pivotally mounted to said second opening in said elongated member of said first anchor part; and

a second portion configured to extend away from said first portion of said third anchor part, and to bear against the second deck board.

2. The pool cover anchor system according to claim 1 , wherein said third anchor part is substantially U-shaped, being formed the same as said second anchor art.

3. The pool cover anchor system according to claim 2 , wherein each of said first and second legs are substantially parallel to each other, and each extends away from said base at an angle being in the range of about 90 degrees to 100 degrees.

4. The pool cover anchor system according to claim 1 , wherein said third anchor part is substantially L-shaped.

5. The pool cover anchor system according to claim 1 ,

wherein said anchor member extends away from said second side of said elongated member between said first opening and said second opening; and

wherein said first opening, said anchor member, and said second opening are substantially aligned.

6. The pool cover anchor system according to claim 1 , wherein each of said second anchor part and said third anchor part are bent into said U-shape from stock having a cross-sectional shape from the group of cross-sectional shapes consisting of: a circular cross-sectional shape, a square cross-sectional shape, and an octagonal cross-sectional shape.

7. The pool cover anchor system according to claim 1 , wherein each of said second anchor part and said third anchor part formed with each of said first and second legs being welded to said base.
