Reclinable self-supporting beach mat

Description

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a reclinable self-supporting beach mat showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a view like FIG. 1 with the two right-most sections in a raised position;

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the mat in folded condition with the fastening tabs secured;

FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the end of the mat shown on the right in FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the mat in flattened condition; and

FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof.

The characteristic features of my design are the two pairs of fastening tabs on the sides of the two end sections, the pair of supports on either side of the handle at one end and the dissimilarity in the indentations which divide the mat into four sections.
