Abstract: The canoe and boat seat incliner apparatus is designed to provide a paddler with an apparatus that will provide the ability to shift from a sitting position in a canoe or boat to a kneeling position in the canoe without shifting balance in the water craft and while maintaining a firm, solid and comfortable position on the seat in either position. The apparatus is comprised of a pivoting incliner unit that is attached to the hull section of the canoe or gunwale of a boat. The attachment unit provides a stable solid connection to the hull of the canoe or the boat. The incliner unit is also connected to the seat in the canoe or boat in such a manner as to allow the seat to pivot as the incliner unit does, which allows the paddler to move from the seated position to the kneeling position without losing his or her balance while making the transition.

Abstract: The portable stadium seat apparatus is comprised of an apparatus designed to be used at spectator events where the seating is flat benches without backs. The apparatus consists, in one embodiment, of a streamlined fabric unit which folds readily into a compact flat pad or rolls up to fit a pocket while providing a padded seat and a vertical back support portion. The more detailed embodiment is a multi-compartment shoulder bag having a similar padded seat and a vertical back support portion and a storage compartment which extends from the seat when the unit is in position on the bench, and a storage compartment which is behind the backrest when the unit is in position. The webbing is attached to a hook that secures the seat to the front edge of the bench. The webbing goes across the bench and over the back edge. A compression member is inserted into a pocket in the webbing to form a rear edge for the seat at the back of the bench.
