The centrai arm portion 30 extends along a rear end of the hot tub 10 and extends between the anchor portions 26, 28. A support member 48 supports the central arm portion 30 in a mid region thereo~ The support member 48 inchides a passage 48a through which the central arm portion 30 extends.
At least one spring element 50 is provided for biasing central arm portion toward the uninstallled position.
The at least one spring element includes at least one tontion spring acting between the support member and the central arm portion. In this case, the atleast one spring element includes a pair of torsion sprimgs 52 acting between the support member 48 and the ceatral ann portion 30.
One or both of the frame portions 24 is length adjustable to aocommodate hot tubs of varying sizes. In this ease, each fisme portion is formed of two telescoping frame iilembers 54,36 and held in position by way of fastenecs 58.
"rhe anchor portions inchide a pair of post members 60, 62, each positioned at a corresponding oorner of the bot tub. The drive unit 22 inoludes a transmission portion 64 mounted on one of the anchor portions.
The transmisaion inchides a pair of mating transmission elements 66, 68, a Srst of the tranamission elements 66 being mountpd for rotation with the centrai arm portion and a second of the nansmission elementa 68 beiag mounted for rotation with the drive unit, which may inchtde a motor drive, such as a mechanical actuator drive available from MCMASTER CARR.
A control unit 70 is provided.~or controlling the drive unit, the control unit communicating with the drive unit over a wired andlor a wireless datalink 72 therebetween.
Referring to figures 4, 5 and 6, another transfer device 80 is shown for use with a hot tub 82 and a hot tub cover 84. In this case, a drive unit includes a gear box and motor which are located within one or both of the anchor portions 86. The drive unit may include, in this oase, a gear box reducer with a ration of, for instance, 5:1 and which is operable to tuin the shaft in a circular motion which raises the cover from the SCH-ECf App Final [ast printed 2l2412006 8:34:00 AM

The gearbox and motor may be purchased froin Avery Machine Co. Brampton ON
CANADA.
While the device is provided with a counterweight unit, it is by no means essential. There may be other . 5 means of maintaining.the hot tub cover in: a generally horizontal orientation, such as one or more elongate bars as shown at 90 in figure 4, extending between the coupling and a mounting point on the anchor portion or some other fixed location In this case, as the cover lifls, the elongate bar may be oriented in relation to the support atm to keep the cover at a level position as the rotation progresses.
The traasmissiom elements may be provided in number of forms such as interloaking gears, sprockets for a, chain or drive wheels for a dtive belt or the lt7oe. The sin of the t[ansmission elements will depend on the size of the drive unit and the range of motion afforded the frame members. If desired, the asnamission eletaents may include a rack and pinion atrangement, which the pinion is displaced upward causing the pimon to ton, while doing so, the causing the central arm portion to tarn aad hence the fiame members.
If desired, ttansmission elements may be located within the corresponding anchor portion; thereby eliminating the need for external extra guarding that may be needed around the transmission elements and providod improved weather protaction for the transmission elements. In this case, the corresponding anchor portiem will have larger lateral dimamons to accommodate the transmission elements. In this case, the anchor portion housing the trangnrission elements may be, for instance, few inahes taIler and bigger in size tban the opposite anchor porti on. The anchor portion housing the transmission elements may also be provided with an aceess plate for drive unit installation and service The torsion springs may not be necessary on all cases. For instance the torsion springs may be replaced, if desired, by a gas shock or similar device located at an appropriate location relative to the frame members, to support mnual operation. In this case, one end of the shock may be attached to the support aim, the other end attached to a cotresponding anchor portion. The shock may be desirably located at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the anchor portion. Full extension of the shock may be reached when the cover is at top SCH-Iil'.
