Abstract
Described herein are embodiments of a lift assembly for assisting a user to move a spa cover on and/or off of a spa. The lift assembly includes a lever arm mount; a lever arm pivotally coupled to the lever arm mount; a spa cover crossbar coupled to the lever arm; and at least one pneumatic spring. The lever arm is pivotable between a cover closed position and a cover open position and in the cover closed position the pneumatic spring(s) urge the lever arm to rotate toward the cover open position. Optionally, the pneumatic spring(s) may urge the lever arm to also rotate toward the cover closed position. In some examples, the spa cover crossbar is shaped to limit bending and/or twisting thereof. Optionally, the lift assembly may include an overrotation inhibiter to limit the amount the lever arm can rotate away from the cover closed position.
