Description

Title: Sun lounger cocoon
Background:
This invention relates to a sun protection attachment for sun loungers.
Expose to the sun's rays is a major cause of ill health.
Adjacent users of sun loungers may prefer/require different levels of shade from the sun.
Problem: Existing solutions have a number of shortfalls: * Shades -The shadow from traditional shades moves in accordance with the sun; forcing users to relocate or accept exposure to the sun's rays.
* UV tents -Offer complete protection but are less comfortable, isolate the user and require additional ground space, often not available.
* UV clothing -Provides good protection to covered areas, but doesn't typically cover extremities or the face.
The Solution: The sun lounger cocoon enables individuals to control their individual sun shade and privacy.
It offers complete protection, regardless of the position of the sun.
It also offers a private space in a public area.
It requires no additional ground space.
Features: * The sun lounger cocoon offers bespoke shade for users; these personal areas of shade offer improved comfort and health.
* The skin of the sun lounger cocoon is made from UV resistant material, protecting the user.
* Preferably, the cocoon may contain floor inserts for additional comfort and protection: * Pillows * Anti-roll and exit barrier shapes * Ground sheets (padding) * Preferably, cocoons may be linked to increase the protection options.
* Preferably, cocoons may be manufactured in a range of sizes and lengths.
* Preferably, the cocoon could be collapsible, lightweight and portable.
* Preferably, the cocoon could also be used without a lounger * Preferably, the cocoon may also offer protection from other elements.
* Preferably, the cocoon may be manufactured with a range of skin materials designed to create different climates within the cocoon.
