COLLAPSIBLE AQUATIC CHAIR

摘要

A portable aquatic chair that is suspendible within a contained body of water such as, but not limited to, a pool or spa. The chair includes an at least partially collapsible and lightweight frame that facilitates installation and transport of the chair. The chair is supported during use by the containment structure of the aquatic body (e.g., by a pool deck and side wall). Chair embodiments according to the invention support a user in a partially submerged but seated and upright position.

主权项

1. A collapsible, hanging chair for supporting a user in a seated and partially submerged position within an aquatic body, comprising:
a tubular main frame; a tubular hanging frame pivotally connected to the main frame near a proximal end thereof; at least one hanging frame rotation-limiting element for limiting the maximum upward angle of rotation of the hanging frame with respect to the main frame; a tubular seat frame pivotally connected to the main frame near a distal end thereof; at least one seat frame rotation-limiting element for limiting the maximum downward angle of rotation of the seat frame with respect to the main frame; and a seat associated with the seat frame for receiving a user in a seated position; wherein the chair is supportable in a partially submerged position within the aquatic body by contact between the hanging frame and a substantially horizontally-oriented upper bounding surface surrounding the aquatic body and by contact between a rear of the seat frame and a substantially vertically-oriented wall containing the aquatic body.
