Publication number: 20240081544Abstract: A buoyant pool lounge chair frame and buoyant pool lounge chair using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair for supporting a person while the buoyant pool chair is floating in water, frame members collectively form an open chair frame including a back frame and leg frame pivotally coupled thereto. Buoyant cushions are attached to the frame members to form a chair seat, a backrest, and a leg rest. A pair of rear pivotal coupling and clutch assemblies are coupled to the seat frame and to the back frame to adjust and fix the angle of recline of the back frame relative to the seat frame. Similarly, a pair of front pivotal coupling and clutch assemblies coupled to the leg frame and to the back frame to adjust and fix the angle of extension of the leg frame relative to the seat frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Matthew J. Iles, Christopher B. Holland, Michael V. Nelson

Publication number: 20230248153Abstract: A buoyant pool lounge chair frame and buoyant pool lounge chair using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair for supporting a person while the buoyant pool lounge chair is floating in water, frame members collectively form at least one of a seat frame, a leg frame, a back frame, a left arm frame, and a right arm frame. The frame members include multiple frame segments which are steel coated with a first vinyl polymer coating to provide steel-to-vinyl contact. Buoyant cushions are attached to the frame members. The buoyant cushions are coated with a second vinyl polymer coating. An adhesive coating is interposed between the first vinyl polymer coating and the buoyant cushions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Matthew J.

Patent number: 10743672Abstract: A buoyant pool lounge chair is disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair, frame members collectively form an open chair frame with buoyant cushions forming a chair seat and a backrest as well as a left arm rest and a right arm rest. The left arm rest and the right arm rest are each intersected by a cup holder. A recess in the cup holder has a forward tilt relative to a horizontal axis having an angle between approximately 20 degrees and approximately 40 degrees toward the front end of the buoyant pool lounge chair. In operation, when the buoyant pool lounge chair is supporting a person while the buoyant pool chair is floating in water, the forward tilt of the cup holder provides a compensating-leveling mechanism that mitigates spilling of liquid in the cup when the cup is placed within the cup holder.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: TRC Recreation, LPInventors: Matthew J.
