Claims
- 1. An inflatable floating chair for recreational use in water comprising in combination:
- a floatation means for supporting said inflatable floating chair, said floatation means having a submerged side and a top side;
- a seat, said seat being positioned below and in relative alignment with said floatation means; and
- an adjustable seat support means for supporting said seat at various positions relative to said floatation means, said adjustable seat support means having an upper portion and a lower portion, a first and second rope means for suspending said seat at various vertical distances from said flotation means, and a first and second rope guide, said upper portion being coupled to said floatation means and said lower portion being coupled to said seat to thereby suspend said seat from said floatation means, said first and second rope means being coupled relative to said flotation means and said seat, said first and second rope guide being coupled to said adjustable seat support means with said first and second rope means passing therethrough respectively,
- whereby said adjustable seat support means varies the vertical distance between said floatation means and said seat such that said inflatable floating chair facilitates swimmers of all sizes thereby keeping their shoulders and head above water while the rest of their body is suspended below the water surface supported by said seat.
- 2. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 1, wherein said floatation means is comprised of an air chamber having a perimeter seam and a first air valve.
- 3. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 1, wherein said adjustable seat support means is comprised of a first and a second support member each having an inside surface and an outside surface, said upper portion of said first and second support members being coupled to said floatation means and said lower portion of said first and second support members being coupled to said seat whereby said first and second rope means are secured at various lengths so to adjust the position of said seat relative to said floatation means.
- 4. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 2, wherein said air chamber is U-shaped having an internal side and an external side.
- 5. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 4, wherein said perimeter seam on said internal side of said air chamber includes an edge extension whereupon said upper portion of said adjustable seat support means is coupled thereto.
- 6. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 1, wherein said seat further includes a first and a second rope eyelet coupled thereto, said first rope eyelet receiving said first rope means therethrough and said second rope eyelet receiving said second rope means therethrough.
- 7. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 3, wherein said floatation means further comprises a first and a second anchoring means for releasably securing said first and second rope means respectively in adjusted positions so to maintain said seat in a preferred position relative to said floatation means, said first and second anchoring means being couple to said floatation means in cooperative alignment with said first and second support members respectively.
- 8. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 7, wherein said first and second anchoring means are comprised of an elongated body having a center bore and a groove portion, said groove portion having a width that decreases along the longitudinal axis of said body whereby said groove portion receives said rope means so as to frictionly wedge said rope means in a releasably secured fashion therein.
- 9. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 2, wherein said seat further includes a plurality of integral chambers and a second air valve coupled thereto, said plurality of chambers being in fluid communication with each other.
- 10. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 3, wherein flotation means, said seat, and said first and second support members are made from a water impervious material.
- 11. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 1, wherein said floatation means includes a plurality of quick clips coupled thereto so to facilitate the securing together of multiple said inflatable floating chairs.
- 12. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 3, wherein said first and second support members further include a first and a second rope ring respectively, said first rope ring being coupled to said first support member with said first rope means passing therethrough to the outside surface of said first support member and said second rope ring being coupled to said second support member with said second rope means passing therethrough to the outside surface of said second support member.
- 13. The inflatable floating chair as recited in claim 12, wherein said seat has an underside and further includes a first and second securing eyelet coupled to said underside, whereupon said first and second rope means pass through and releasably couple to said first and second securing eyelets respectively.
