发明名称 Recreational buoyancy system
摘要 A recreational buoyancy system is provided that includes multiple floats and a user support that engages and conforms to a shape of a body of a user. The user support may include an intermediate portion and multiple arms that extend from the intermediate portion in different directions toward outer ends of the multiple arms. Multiple floats are arranged at the outer ends of the multiple arms, respectively. The user support may be made from a flexible material so that the user support can conform to the body of the user while the multiple floats buoyantly support the user in the water at the spaced-apart locations while allowing the multiple floats to move relative to each other.

主权项 1. A recreational buoyancy system, comprising: multiple floats that are spaced from each other, each of the multiple floats being buoyant so as to float in water; and a user support that can engage a body of a user and that extends between and connects the multiple floats to each other, the user support having an intermediate portion and multiple arms that extend from the intermediate portion in different directions toward outer ends of the multiple arms so that the multiple floats are arranged at the outer ends of the multiple arms, respectively, wherein the user support is made from a flexible material so that the user support can conform to the body of the user while the multiple floats buoyantly support the user in the water at spaced-apart locations while allowing the multiple floats to move relative to each other; wherein the material of the user support is flat in cross-section and can bend along multiple axes so as to conform to the body of the user; wherein the user support includes an upper layer and a lower layer, each of which is made from a flexible material, the upper layer including an upper surface that engages the body of the user and an opposing lower surface, the lower layer including an upper surface that abuts the lower surface of the upper layer and an opposing lower surface that faces away from the user; wherein each of the multiple arms includes a pocket that holds a respective one of the multiple floats.
