Abstract

Abstract The invention provides a manually controlled, self-contained liquid misting attachment for web covered folding lounge chair and web covered folding chairs useful for sunbathing. A tubular pliable H-frame fits the chair frame and is attached by retainers. A pressurized water tank supplies liquid controllably to the H-frame and to spaced adjustable mist-producing heads in paralleling surfaces of the H-frame conduits. The sunbather, reclining on a lounge or sitting on a chair to which the liquid misting attachment is fastened, can selectively apply misted water or sun effecting liquids to his or her body by manually pressurizing a spring biasing normally closed control valve.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 364 words
A self-contained liquid misting apparatus attachable to the frames of webbed folding lounge chairs and webbed folding chairs with said apparatus having supplying and pressurizing means for controllably spraying a misted liquid on a sunbather, comprising: a flexible tubular liquid-conducting H-frame sized for attachment to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs with said H-frame having sufficient pliability to allow folding and unfolding of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs with said H-frame attached; said H-frame having two paralleling conduits with capped terminal ends and a cross-affixed feeder conduit substantially centrally positioned, there being an access fitting in said cross-affixed feeder conduit; said two paralleling conduits of said H-frame aligned with spaced apertures fitted with liquid misting heads along similarly faced surfaces of said H-frame specifically designated for upwardly positionment; said liquid misting heads fastened by risers and pivotally installed in said risers for manual directional manipulation, there being means for repositioning, adding, and reducing the number of said liquid misting heads fastened by said risers; means for fastening said H-frame to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs; a pressure resistant liquid storage tank equipped with an outflow fitting, a tank output hose, a removable tank cap and air pump assembly, and an auxiliary air intake and safety valve assembly; a housing for said pressure resistant liquid storage tank attached to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs; a system input hose of operational length and size having a connector fitting connected to said access fitting in said cross-fixed feeder conduit and to said tank output hose; a manually operational spring biased flow valve control normally closed and opened only for the period manual pressure is applied with said flow valve control supplied with fittings connected to said system input hose, said flow valve control being attached to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chair and said webbed folding chair; an attachment by-passing said pressure resistant liquid storage tank when in use with said attachment means providing direct application of water from said external pressurized water supply into said H-frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 364 words
A self-contained liquid misting apparatus attachable to the frames of webbed folding lounge chairs and webbed folding chairs with said apparatus having supplying and pressurizing means for controllably spraying a misted liquid on a sunbather, comprising: a flexible tubular liquid-conducting H-frame sized for attachment to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs with said H-frame having sufficient pliability to allow folding and unfolding of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs with said H-frame attached; said H-frame having two paralleling conduits with capped terminal ends and a cross-affixed feeder conduit substantially centrally positioned, there being an access fitting in said cross-affixed feeder conduit; said two paralleling conduits of said H-frame aligned with spaced apertures fitted with liquid misting heads along similarly faced surfaces of said H-frame specifically designated for upwardly positionment; said liquid misting heads fastened by risers and pivotally installed in said risers for manual directional manipulation, there being means for repositioning, adding, and reducing the number of said liquid misting heads fastened by said risers; means for fastening said H-frame to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs; a pressure resistant liquid storage tank equipped with an outflow fitting, a tank output hose, a removable tank cap and air pump assembly, and an auxiliary air intake and safety valve assembly; a housing for said pressure resistant liquid storage tank attached to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs; a system input hose of operational length and size having a connector fitting connected to said access fitting in said cross-fixed feeder conduit and to said tank output hose; a manually operational spring biased flow valve control normally closed and opened only for the period manual pressure is applied with said flow valve control supplied with fittings connected to said system input hose, said flow valve control being attached to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chair and said webbed folding chair; an attachment by-passing said pressure resistant liquid storage tank when in use with said attachment means providing direct application of water from said external pressurized water supply into said H-frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The misting apparatus of claim 1 wherein said flexible tubular liquid conducting H-frame is structured of rubberized plastic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 47 words
The misting apparatus of claim 1 wherein said means for said repositioning, adding, and reducing the number of said liquid misting heads fastened by said risers is the sharpened insert end of said risers repositioned in a punched hole and the original hole plugged or glued shut.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
The misting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said means for fastening said H-frame to said frames of said webbed folding lounge chairs and said webbed folding chairs is a multiple of appropriately sized conduit-type ties.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 30 words
The misting apparatus of claim 1 wherein said pressure resistant liquid storage tank is filled from said external pressurized water supply by removing said tank cap and air pump assembly.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 67 words
The misting apparatus of claim 1 wherein said attachment means by-passing said pressure resistant liquid storage tank when in use is a T-joint affixed to connect said tank output hose to said system input hose with a leg of said T-joint fitted by threading with a removable cap, said threading compatible with the threading in the attachment fitting of a garden hose when said cap is removed.
