  • Patent number: 5439405
    Abstract: A combination tote bag, floating chair/recliner and beach chair/pad (10) comprised of buoyant cushioned sections, all of which are covered with material (53) and are fastened together with zippers in a number of different ways for a variety of purposes. A collapsible chair frame (58) is included and is configured by placing the tubular parts together, zipping the cushions together in a flat position and, by using the headrest pocket (42), secure the cushions onto the frame. Without the frame, the cushion configuration forms a beach mat or chair pad. The carrying case can be configured to carry a substantial number of articles or be configured to a smaller size by attaching two rectangular cushions to provide storage space for flat articles such as magazines or correspondence. The carrying case is reversible and is carried by hand straps, or a shoulder strap. It becomes a back pack by detaching the shoulder strap (20) from the carrying case and attaching it to the fasteners provided on the back section (13).
