The hamiltonian of the $N$-state superintegrable chiral Potts (SICP) model is written in terms of a coupled algebra defined by $N-1$ types of Temperley-Lieb generators. This generalises a previous result for $N=3$ obtained by J. F. Fjelstad and T. Mr{a}nsson [J. Phys. A {bf 45} (2012) 155208]. A pictorial representation of a related coupled algebra is given for the $N=3$ case which involves a generalisation of the pictorial presentation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra to include a pole around which loops can become entangled. For the two known representations of this algebra, the $N=3$ SICP chain and the staggered spin-1/2 XX chain, closed (contractible) loops have weight $sqrt{3}$ and weight $2$, respectively. For both representations closed (non-contractible) loops around the pole have weight zero. The pictorial representation provides a graphical interpretation of the algebraic relations. A key ingredient in the resolution of diagrams is a crossing relation for loops encircling a pole which involves the parameter $rho= e^{ 2pi mathrm{i}/3}$ for the SICP chain and $rho=1$ for the staggered XX chain. These $rho$ values are derived assuming the Kauffman bracket skein relation.
