AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes an aquatic seat assembly that allows users to safely and comfortably support their weight while in water. The assembly includes a seat, seat support, and wall support with adjustable attachment points. The seat can be raised or lowered to accommodate users of different heights. The seat is offset from the wall to prevent torsion of the attachment points. The wall support includes slots and pins for secure attachment to the wall. The assembly also includes a foot rest for the user's feet and a cup holder for holding accessories. The height of the seat can be adjusted for different water levels. The installation method involves affixing brackets to the wall and inserting attachment tabs on the seat into the brackets. Overall, the aquatic seat assembly provides a safe and comfortable way to enjoy water activities.

Problems solved by technology

The pedestal seats of the pool swim up bar are not adjustable in height.

It may not be practical, in open water dock environments or with deep pools, to support to have a pedestal seat.

As the transitioning platform described in '747 is for a boat, the transitioning platform relies on a buoyancy balloon which may be cumbersome and block entry onto the platform.

Where the water level of the pool is the same as the ledge, the table may be undesirably below the surface of the water, while the seats may be too far below the surface of the water to be desirable for sitting.

The way that the table and pool are pivotably attached to the pool deck and are flipped up for storage may obstruct the pool deck.
