  • Patent number: 4441220
    Abstract: An outdoor article of furniture includes a base and an elongate bed-like support mounted on the base for rotation and limited tilting movement relative to the base. Power means are provided and rotate the support at a rate of two revolutions per hour so that a user lying on the support will obtain an even sun tan on that portion of the user's body exposed to the sun. When the support is in a tilted position, there will be a tendency to cause a user reclining thereon to roll over when the support is moved through a half rotation, which occurs after a 15-minute interval. Thus, the apparatus itself could urge the user to turn over periodically and thereby minimize the occurence of sunburns caused by overexposure of a portion of the user's body to the sun.
