Abstract
An improved filter bag is provided for mounting onto a suction mast of a pool cleaner to retain and collect debris and the like vacuumed by the pool cleaner from submerged floor or wall surfaces of a swimming pool. The filter bag includes a porous bag-shaped filter element having an open mouth mounted to a latch collar adapted for quick release coupling to a downstream end of the pool cleaner suction mast. The filter element and latch collar include interfitting alignment members to insure filter element assembly with the latch collar in a desired front-to-rear orientation. The suction mast and latch collar further include additional interfitting alignment members for latch collar mounting onto the pool cleaner in a desired front-to-rear orientation, thereby insuring proper orientation of the filter bag on the pool cleaner.
