Abstract
Beach chair with sun protective device with a folding beach chair frame made of tubular metal and water resistant fabric and a pair of arm supports, a sun shade mounted on a spring retractable roller, a shade attachment bar, a pair of shade attachment hooks, a pair of back extension rods and a pair of leg extension rods. The back extension rods are extendable from the back support tubes of the beach chair frame. The leg extension rods are extendable from the rear leg support tubes of the beach chair frame. The roller and the shade are mounted to the back extension rods so that when a user extends the back extension rods and the leg extension rods, he or she can pull out the shade from the spring roller and attach the shade to the shade attachment hooks to form an overhead sun shade.
Description

- This invention relates generally to the field of beach chairs and more specifically to beach chair with sun protective device.
- On sunny days in the summer many people go the beaches or just spend time outdoors relaxing while sitting on what has become known as a beach chair. A beach chair is a light weight chair that folds for easy storage and carrying. It is usually made of a tubular metal frame and has a water resistant fabric stretched across the frame to create a back and a seat.
- Because of the dangers of too much UV radiation from the sun, some beach chairs have been designed to include an overhead shade so that a person can have the relaxing benefit of sitting in a sunny location but can still be protected from the potentially harmful rays of the sun.
- Numerous proposals have been made aiming at providing beach chairs with sun-protective means including one found in my own U.S. Pat. No. 7,431,388. However, there is a deficiency in my prior design in that the sun shade comes down from the extended back support rods to the front arm rest extension rods in a rather steep angle thereby causing the shade to pass directly in front of the face of the user which can feel restrictive to the user's head and view while sitting in the chair.
- The primary object of the invention is to provide a beach chair with an extendable sun protecting shade that does not overly restrict the user's view while sitting in the chair yet still gives substantial protection from the sun's harmful UV rays.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
- In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed beach chair with sun protective device comprising: a folding beach chair frame made of tubular metal and water resistant fabric and a pair of arm supports, a sun shade mounted on a spring retractable roller, a shade attachment bar, a pair of shade attachment hooks, a pair of back extension rods, a pair of leg extension rods, said back extension rods telescoping into and extendable from the back support tubes of said beach chair frame, said leg extension rods telescoping into and extendable from the rear leg support tubes of said beach chair frame, said roller and said shade mounted in a horizontal fashion between the top end of said back extension rods, said shade attachment bar fixedly attached to the pull out end of of said shade, said leg extension rods terminating in said shade attachment hooks so that when a user extends said back extension rods and said leg extension rods, he or she can pull out said shade from said spring roller and attach the left and right ends of said shade attachment bar to said shade attachment hooks to form an overhead sun shade that can protect a person while sitting in said beach chair and yet not overly restrict the user's vision or be uncomfortably close to the user's head.
- The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments to the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. It is to be understood that in some instances various aspects of the invention may be shown exaggerated or enlarged to facilitate an understanding of the invention.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention in the non-extended position. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the invention in the extended position. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the invention of the chair in the folded storage position. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the invention with the front extension rods in the bent up position. - Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.
- Referring now to
FIG. 1 we see a perspective view of the beach chair of thepresent invention 100 in the unextended position. The chair looks somewhat similar to a standard beach chair having a water resistant fabric back rest portion 26 a water resistant fabric seat rest portion 46 supported by a tubular metal frame comprised offront leg members 44,rear leg members 32,back support tubes 42, 44 shown by dotted lines, andseat support tubes extendable rods back support tubes 42, 44 and terminate in a horizontally disposed springroll shade assembly 34 terminating in ashade attachment bar 20. An additional pair ofextendable rods FIG. 2 are situated withinleg tubes 31, 32 and terminate inattachment hooks slots 38, 40 in arm rests 36, 30 allow a pair ofextension rods leg members 31, 32 shown inFIG. 2 , to pass through when in the extended mode. Thefront extension rods hook shade attachment bar 20 when therods FIG. 2 . -
FIG. 2 shows aperson 28 sitting in the beach chair of thepresent invention 100. Therear extension rods front extension rods shade 2 fromroller 34.Attachment hooks attachment rod 20 so that theshade 2 forms a generous shading member for theuser 28. If the user wishes to get up from the chair, he can easily unhook thehooks attachment bar 20 and do so. The upward angle of thefront extension rods shade 2 sufficiently that the user'shead 28 does not feel overly confined by theshade 2. Additionally, theshade 2 does not overly block the view of theuser 28. -
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the chair of thepresent invention 100 in the folded and stored position.Arm rest slots 38 and 40 can be clearly seen. -
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the chair of thepresent invention 100 where the front leg extension rods 12, 14 have been bent up by the user athinge points 42, 44. In this way, the user can decide how much of theshade 2 he or she wants to have extended at any time - While the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention to the particular form set forth, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
