AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a type of pool and beach toy that keeps a young child, like a baby or toddler, at the surface of the water without getting their feet wet. It is made up of a seat attached to a flotation device, like an inflatable ring, that holds the child's weight and keeps them up, while the flotation device rests on the water. This toy helps keep young children safe and prevents accidents in the water.

Problems solved by technology

A seat of one fixed size may be suitable for a particular child at a given time, but for a smaller or larger child the seat may be either too low, too high, too large, or too small for purposes of comfort and safety, relative to the flotation device.
