Abstract
A portable, stowable beach mat chair and shelter that incorporates fabric-covered foam panels that are hinged together. The panels may be folded on one another and carried with an attached shoulder strap. Head, torso and leg zones are provided. A sun hood or bonnet may be deployed to provide shade over the head zone. The head zone and torso zone may be partially extended and held in the partially extended position by a restraint strap and buckle. In an infant version, pad extensions may be deployed by hinging them up at right angles to the pads to form soft restraints.
Description
- The invention is directed to a highly portable device that provides cushioned full length reclining as well as sitting backrest support in a device that is light and easily stowed and carried. The device may also incorporate a hood for shade in either the sitting or reclining modes.
- Various recliner pad and cushions have been provided in the prior art. However they typically do not provide any shade for the user and are difficult to fold an carry. The can provide backrest support only by use in conjunction with a separate frame.
- In a separate product category beach chairs have been provided. In some of these prior devices, the user extends a frame for backrest support. The frame carries webbing or fabric that supports the users back. A fabric (unpadded) seat rectangle is attached to the frame. The user sits on the seat rectangle with anchors the backrest. However, the seat rectangle is unpadded and provides only minimal protection from the surface. Therefore these beach chairs are unsuitable for use on hot or hard surfaces. Typically no provision is made for shading the user.
- The invention solves the deficiencies of prior art devices by providing a device with three zones. The invention can be used in a reclining or seated mode. In the reclining mode the three zones are extended on the ground to cushion at least the users torso and head and to provide protection for the head, torso and legs. In the seated mode the head zone becomes the frame to support the back rest.
- At least one of the zones is formed by cushioning over a rigid base. The rigid base serves the function of a structural frame without the complexity, bulk and weight normally associated with a conventional frame. Where the head zone has a rigid base, it can serve to hold the torso zone erect to provide chair-like back support. The correct angular relationship between the back rest and support may desirably be maintained by one or more releaseable cords or belts that are attached to the lower edge of the back support and the lower edge of the head zone when those two zones are partially folded back on one another.
- Shade may be provided by an integrated hood. The hood is hingedly secured between the head and torso zone. Opaque fabric is provided to limit the amount of sun which can penetrate. At least two bows are sewn into or otherwise attached to the hood fabric. When the outermost bow is extended the other bows are deployed by the movement of the fabric to form a sun shelter over the head zone. When the invention is used on the seating mode, the hood is first extended on struts that are carried in fittings attached to the torso or head zones. The hood is drawn away from its stowed position to extend a sufficient distance to provide clearance for the head of a seated user. Since the extension of the hood may expose the users neck to direct sun under some conditions, a sun drape is desirably provided in a zippered pocket along the lower edge of the hood. Deploying the drape allows it to fall into the gap caused by extending the hood and thereby providing protection for the users neck and back at virtually every sun angle.

FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention in which theleg 10torso 12 andhead 14 zones are formed by fabric coveredfoam pads 16. Closed cell Polyurethane foam is preferred for its combination of resilience and lack of moisture uptake. The fabric protects the foam from soiling and abrasion and presents a smooth surface to the user. Nylon or polyester fabric are especially desirable with the invention. In addition to enclosing and protecting the foam, the fabric connects between the zones. The fabric is attached to the adjacent pads along a single sewn line to form a fabric hinge between the head and torso zones and between the torso and leg zones. - A
hood 20 is attached to thetorso zone 12 and can be deployed as shown inFIG. 1 . The manner of attachment and adjustment of the hood will become more apparent in the description of the following figures. - Referring to
FIG. 1A , the function of thefabric hinges 18 is illustrated. The hinges allow the mat to be folded for carrying and storage. The hood is collapsed and folded between the leg an torso zones. Then the head zone is folded back to be attached overlying the torso pad. A carry strap is attached near the fabric hinge between the head and torso zones. This allows the mat to be carried over the users shoulder. When folded (SeeFIG. 1B ) the three pads are held together by attaching the strap from a back rest restraint 24 (which may take the form of a strap to be described hereinafter) to a buckle on the undersurface of the leg pad. In addition two Velcroretention straps 28 hold the sides of the mat together. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the mat is shown in its backrest configuration. Thehead zone 14 is folded toward the torso zone until an A frame shape is obtained. The desired spacing between the lower ends of the head pad and torso pad is maintained by the back rest restraint strap 24 (SeeFIG. 2A ). Also shown inFIGS. 2 and 2 A is the seated position for thehood 20. To create clearance for the users head, thehood 20 can be extended onextension struts 30 which allow the hood to be lifted at lest 6 inches from the junction of the head and torso pads. A channel with an enlarged head is secured and the hood strut and attached to opposite sides of the back base element. The enlarged head is sized in a manner so that the walls of the head frictionally engage the strut so that the strut and the connected hood stays in any selected position. The channel may be made of Nylon for strength and resilience. - The
rearmost edges 32 for the hood can optionally contain a zippered pocket on its periphery. When unzipped a stowed sun drape is reveal a sun drape (not shown). The sun drape is a quantify of fabric that is attached only along one edge at the margin of the hood. When deployed it falls to cover the gap between the extended hood and the back rest (torso zone 12) so that the users head neck and shoulders are protected. The use of the sun drape is helpful especially in low sun angles such as late in the afternoon when the sun would otherwise beat directly on the users, neck, head and back. -
FIG. 3 Shows a second embodiment of the mat according to the invention. In this embodiment the special needs for an infant are provided for. The mat has threes zones (head 14,torso 12 and leg 10) but the pads are much smaller and are surrounded bypad extensions restraint closures - The infant embodiment also uses a different form of central closure (See
FIGS. 3A and 3B ). A central closure strap is threaded through a closure slot in the leg pad and secured on the underside of the pad be matching closure strap and pad velcro parts (not shown). - The infant mat also admits of the use of a zippered pocket on the hood (not shown). In this application pocket is formed on the forward margin of the hood. The pocket can contain fabric for shape or insect netting. The fabric or netting in secured within the pocket opening along one edge, so that when deployed it drapes down to close the opening between hood and pad to protect the head of the child inside.
