Benefits of technology

The present invention is a chair designed to optimize the amount of a person's skin that will be exposed to the sun in order to achieve a evenly tanned skin tone. The chair has a unique structure that includes a first and second median member, an upper member, two leg support members, and a lower member. The lower member is made of tubing and is engaged with the second median member to support the chair. The upper member has a top extension that can be used as a shade, and also has two arm support members that provide a concave rest for the upper and lower portions of an arm. All members of the chair are made of tubing and are attached to each other using friction joints. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a comfortable and efficient tool for achieving a sun-kissed skin tone.

Problems solved by technology

Presently there exist no chairs that allow the user to expose certain areas of their skin to the sun while sitting in a chair, resulting in an uneven tan.
Currently, when a user sits on a chair and her skin touches the material or the chair itself, the skin is blocked from exposure to the sun.
Also, where the skin touches material, this chair is comprised of a material that allows the sun to penetrate through it, thus resulting in even more exposure to the sun.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]The present invention is a chair that has been designed in order to optimize the percentage of the surface area of a person's skin that will be exposed to the sun in order to receive an evenly tanned skin tone.

[0022]The chair is comprised of a first median member that serves as support for the chair. There is also a second median member engaged with the first median member, an upper member, two leg support members and a lower member. The second median member serves as the area where the user will sit. The upper member serves as the area where the user's back or stomach, depending on how the user is laying, will rest. The two leg support members serve as the area the legs will rest or, if turned upside down, as a table. The chair is also comprised of a lower member comprised of tubing engaged with the second median member, having first and second portions that extend from the two joints located between the second median and lower members. The lower member serves to support the ...

Abstract

The present invention is a chair designed to optimize sun exposure that may be used by a person to lie on her back or her stomach. This chair is unique in that it has supports for each arm and each leg of the user. The supports have been engineered so that skin that was once flush to material or to the chair itself is now exposed to the sun, enabling a better, more even tan for the user. In addition the supports can be moved and adjusted to the user's liking. The leg supports can be turned over and used as a table if desired. The top portion of the chair has been designed such that the user can attach material to it and use it as a shade.
