Abstract: An adjustable lounge is adapted to be knocked-down in kit-form for shipping and/or storage purposes and expeditiously assembled on-site. The knocked-down-lounge comprises a base frame having a sub-frame and a pair of base side panels adapted for attachment to lateral sides of the sub-frame. A canopy frame comprises a pair of canopy side panels and a plurality of cross-struts adapted for attachment between the canopy side panels. The canopy frame is adapted to be pivotally mounted on the base frame to permit the canopy frame to be moved by user-controlled actuating means through an infinite number of positions between a normal upright position and a lowered position, placing the back of the canopy frame in at least general horizontal alignment with the top of the base frame. The lounge is adapted for selective rotation in a circular path about a vertically disposed axis whereby the frontal side of the canopy can be moved to a selected rotative position for sunning and/or viewing purposes.

Abstract: A chaise lounge, usable for sunbathing and other recreational purposes, comprising a stationary base having a normally upright canopy pivotally mounted rearwardly thereon. The canopy, preferably comprising a hood-like structural frame covered with an open mesh and flexible material, is adapted to be pivoted between a normal upright position to form a seating arrangement and a lowered position placing a back of the canopy in alignment with a top of the base. At least one operator-controlled (from within the canopy) combined lock and return strut is pivotally interconnected between the canopy and the base to: (1) Releasably hold and lock the canopy in a selected position between its upright and lowered positions; and (2) Cushion lowered movements of the canopy and automatically return it to its upright position in response to release of the locking function.

Abstract: A chaise lounge, usable for sunbathing and other recreational purposes, comprises a stationary base having a normally upright hood-like canopy pivotally mounted rearwardly thereon. The canopy is adapted to be pivoted between a normal upright position to form a seating arrangement and a lowered position placing a back of the canopy in alignment with a top of the base. A combined moving, holding and locking control system includes an electric motor and an actuating mechanism for releasably holding and locking the canopy in a selected position between its upright and lowered positions in response to selective activation of the motor.

Abstract: A chaise lounge, usable for sunbathing and other recreational purposes, comprises a stationary base having a normally upright canopy pivotally mounted rearwardly thereon. The canopy, preferably comprising a hood-like frame covered with an open mesh and flexible material, is adapted to be pivoted beween a normal upright position to form a seating arrangement and a lowered position placing a back of the canopy in alignment with a top of the base. A pair of laterally spaced and operator-controlled (from within the canopy) combined holding and locking struts are pivotally interconnected between forward ends of each side of the canopy and a respective side of the base to releasably hold and lock the canopy in a selected position between its upright and lowered positions. Each strut may comprise a releasable coil spring for selectively holding a reciprocal rod in a locked position, under torsional friction, or a motor-driven screw drive arrangement.
