Abstract

Abstract A spray system for the periodic application of sun tanning solution for the cooling and comfort of the user. In one embodiment, the system may be utilized in conjunction with a conventional lounge chair. The lounge chair has one or more longitudinal rails along the sides thereof, and a tanning-solution-containing bladder or reservoir may be affixed to the chair. A solution tube extends into the bladder and a pump conveys solution from the bladder to a plurality of spray nozzles. In the embodiment noted, the nozzles may be affixed to one of the rails of the chair. When desired, the user operates the pump to discharge a mist of water and tanning aid solution which cools the user.
