Abstract
I title my invention the “Sport Utility Lounge Chair”. An improved pool lounge chair that allows a person the advantage of being able to lie face down and have a round padded opening in which to put their face. This permits the user to continue such activities as reading, eating, or working from beneath the chair. It also helps to avoid unwanted sunrays from damaging the users face. A tray is provided in my design that can be used to support a laptop computer for example, from beneath the chair. The tray also attaches to the armrests of the chair to provide the same benefits when the user is seated in the up-right position. A removable full-size buoyant pad covers the top of the chair. When removed, it can be used as a floatation device for relaxing in the water.
Description
- I title my invention the “Sport Utility Lounge Chair”. This invention is an improved version of a pool or beach lounge chair. It relates to a construction whereby an opening is provided so that a user can put his or her face into a padded hole in the chair when lying on their stomach in a comfortable prone position. This not only protects the users face from unwanted harmful rays from the sun, but also allows him or her the capability to read a book or magazine, eat lunch, or even work on a laptop computer from beneath the chair. Current designs require the user to hang their head to one side or the other when lying on their stomach. This is not only uncomfortable, but allows unwanted sunrays to affect the users face, which may cause irreparable skin damage. The user is also restricted from doing certain things such as reading or working on a computer when in this position.
- This invention also provides a small tray with four retractable legs that can be used to support things like a laptop computer or a book from beneath the pool lounge chair. This same tray also attaches to holes in the armrests of the pool lounge chair to support such things as a laptop computer or a book when the user is seated in the up-right position.
- A common past time for people who use a pool lounge chair is to relax in a body of water such as a pool, lake, or the ocean. This invention provides a buoyant floatable pad, which covers the full length of the chair where the user sits or reclines. It is removable and can be used as a floatation device to provide the user an alternative means to enjoy the water by lying on the pad and floating in the pool, lake, etc. This pad is not to be considered a safety device, only a floatation device.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a pool lounge chair which allows the user to lie on his or her stomach in comfort, protect their face from unwanted harmful rays of the sun, and be able if so desired to continue activities such as reading, eating, or working.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a useful attachable tray that can be used when the individual is in the prone or upright position, to support such things as a laptop computer, book, or a meal.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a full-length floatable pad on which the user can sit or recline. This pad can be removed from the chair and used in a body of water as a floatation device to provide an alternate source of recreation and relaxation.

FIG. 1 is a drawing of the pool lounge chair without the floatable pad or the attachable tray, depicting the hole in the chair which the user will place his or her face when lying on their stomach in the prone position. -
FIG. 2 is a drawing of the pool lounge chair with the removable floatable pad attached. -
FIG. 3 is a drawing of the pool lounge chair with the removable floatable pad and the removable tray attached. -
FIG. 4 is a drawing of the pool lounge chair in the prone flat position with the floatable pad on the chair and the attachable tray beneath the hole in the chair to depict how the tray will be positioned to support the users needs when lying on his or her stomach.
Claims (3)
1. My design for an improved pool lounge chair provides a space for the user to place their head while lying on their stomach and tanning their backside. This “head space” is similar to that provided in many types of massage tables which have a padded hole for the person receiving the massage to place their head while lying on their stomach. Current pool lounge chair designs do not provide such a space and thus the user must turn their head to one side or the other when lying in that position. This is uncomfortable and allows potentially harmful rays from the sun to continue to be received by the users face. In most instances, the user has already received enough sun to their face when they switch to this position.
2. My design for an improved pool lounge chair provides a small attachable tray that has four retractable legs that fit into four holes in the arm rests of the chair. When sitting in the up-right position, the user can straighten the legs of the tray and slide them into the holes on the arm rests to secure the tray to the chair. When needed, this tray will be used to support a laptop computer, a book, a meal, etc. When in the prone position, the user can place the tray (with the legs folded or extended) beneath the chair to continue working on a laptop computer, reading a book, eating a meal, etc.
3. My design for an improved pool lounge chair provides a buoyant pad, which has a hole for the users face that aligns with the padded hole in the chair itself. This buoyant pad covers the full length of the chair where the user sits or reclines. The pad can be used as a floatation device, which can be removed from the chair and used in a pool or other body of water to allow the user another form of relaxation. There is no claim that this pad can be used as a safety device. Note: the chair can be used with or without the pad, but the pad provides a softer cushion if so desired by the user.
