1. An assembly of swimming pool cleaner components comprising:
- a. a hollow body having an axial inlet and an axial outlet;
b. a tubular diaphragm having inlet and outlet ends, the diaphragm housed within the body;
c. an inner tubular member having a first end located in the outlet end of the diaphragm;
d. an outer tubular member, positioned over the inner tubular member, and having a first end longitudinally adjustably positioned in the axial outlet of the body;
e. means, positioned between the inner and outer tubular members and within the axial outlet of the body, for adjustably connecting the first ends of the inner and outer tubular members and the outlet end of the diaphragm relative to each other and to the axial outlet of the body; and
f. a coupling member freely rotatable around the outer tubular member.

Abstract
Swimming pool cleaner components are provided to form a unitary combination of a body housing a diaphragm in communication with an inner tube and the body in communication with an outer tube around the inner tube and secured to the body to locate the diaphragm and inner tube with a rotatable coupling collar on the outer tube to position the components in an outer body of the swimming pool cleaner.

11. An assembly of swimming pool cleaner components comprising:
-
a. a body having an inlet and an outlet through which fluid passes; b. a removable valve positioned within the body for periodically interrupting fluid flow therethrough; c. a first tube; d. means for coupling the first tube to the valve; e. a second tube surrounding the first tube and having a first end adjustably positioned in the outlet of the body and a second end coupled to a hose; and f. a collar positioned on the second tube for allowing relative rotation of the body and hose, the collar comprising a first flange and means for absorbing thrust. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
