Abstract: A buoyant pool chair supports a swimmer in an upright, semi-reclining or sitting position while the chair is floating in a swimming pool. Interconnected rigid frame members collectively form an open chair frame for supporting buoyant cushions. The buoyant cushions include layers of flexible cushion material secured together in overlapping relation, with the frame members being sandwiched between the overlapping layers. A layer of adhesive material bonds the overlapping cushion layers together and forms a water-tight seal around the frame members. A flexible layer of a water-resistant coating material is bonded to external surface portions of the buoyant cushions to provide a further protective layer and water-tight seal.

Abstract: A buoyant pool chair supports a swimmer in an upright, semi-reclining or sitting position while the chair is floating in a swimming pool. Interconnected rigid frame members collectively form an open chair frame including a seat frame, left and right arm frames attached to the seat frame, and a back frame pivotally coupled to the seat frame. Buoyant cushions attached to the frame members form a chair seat, a chair back, a left chair arm and a right chair arm.

Abstract: A buoyant pool chair supports a swimmer in an upright, semi-reclining or sitting position while the chair is floating in a swimming pool. Interconnected rigid frame members collectively form an open chair frame including a seat frame, left and right arm frames attached to the seat frame, and a back frame pivotally coupled to the seat frame. The back frame can be manually rotated to a folded, minimum profile position in which the chair back overlaps the chair seat, for example for shipping and storage, and rotatable to an upright, fixed position to accommodate lounging in a semi-reclining or sitting position. Stop apparatus on the chair frame is engagable with one of the seat frame and the back frame for fixing the back frame in the upright position, and releasable therefrom to permit closing rotational movement of the back frame to the folded position.

Abstract: A buoyant lounge chair supports a swimmer in an upright, semi-reclining or fully reclining position while the chair is floating in a swimming pool. Interconnected rigid frame members collectively form an open chair frame including a seat frame, left and right arm frames attached to the seat frame, and a back frame pivotally coupled to the seat frame. The back frame is pivotally coupled to the seat frame on opposite sides by dual axle shafts. A manually operable clutch is mounted on each axle shaft for releasably connecting the seat frame to the back frame. Each clutch is manually releasable to permit pivotal movement of the back frame relative to the seat frame, and is manually engagable to fix the angle of recline of the back frame with respect to the seat frame.

Abstract: A buoyant lounge chair supports a swimmer in a stable, semi-reclining position while the chair is floating in a swimming pool. Interconnected rigid frame members collectively form an open chair frame. Buoyant cushions are attached to the chair frame, forming a chair seat, a chair back, left and right chair arms and a bolster block. The buoyant cushions forming the chair seat and the chair back include overlapping layers of buoyant cushion material that are secured together by adhesive, with the seat frame and the back frame being sandwiched between the overlapping layers. One of the buoyant layers forms a continuous body support surface that transitions through an angle from the chair seat to the chair back. Each arm support includes an upright arm support riser that is laterally offset from the seat frame and a horizontal arm rest segment that is vertically offset from the seat frame.

Abstract: A travel pillow includes a block of resilient, open cell foam material that can be compressed, rolled-up and secured within an outer protective covering. The outer protective covering includes a pre-stretched, dimensionally stable compression wrapper of a hook or loop-compatible fabric material, a strip of complementary hook or loop fastener material secured along one edge portion and a compression rod secured along an opposite edge portion of the wrapper. The resilient foam pillow block and protective compression wrapper are convolutely wound together about the compression rod as the resilient foam block is rolled-up and compressed. The pillow assembly is releasably secured in the rolled-up, compressed configuration by engagement of the complementary fastener strip with the hook or loop-compatible fabric material.
