A FLOATING SKIMMER FOR CLEANING THE SURFACE OF A BODY OF LIQUID Abstract of the Disclosure A floating skimmer, for cleaning the surface of the liquid around the skimmer, has an outer, annular shaped body with an inner cavity. Flotation and ballast chambers in the outer body regulate the level of flotation of the weir, and a peripheral opening admits a flow of liquid into the central cavity. The liquid is pumped out of the central cavity through a drain opening in the base plate. A movable weir extends across the width of the inlet opening and regulates the quantity and velocity of liquid which flows through the opening and into the central cavity. The outer edge of the weir is connected to the body by a hinge connection which permits the weir to articulate about that edge. A float is mounted beneath the weir so that the weir floats on the liquid within the central cavity and with the back inner edge of the weir elevated. This produces a cascade of liquid off the upper edge of the weir and a regulated skimming of the surface of the liquid by the cascade action.
