Abstract
Abstract A water misting apparatus to be attached to a chair such as a lounge chair that is designed to be utilized in an outdoors environment. The water misting apparatus includes several spray nozzles attached to the chair with each spray nozzle to be individually adjustable to vary the direction of flow from the nozzles. The flow from the nozzles is to be directed so that a mist is sprayed onto an occupant of the chair. The nozzles are supplied water from a series of conduits which are in turn connected to a pressurized supply tank. The conduit assembly includes a heat exchanger which can be utilized to either increase or decrease the temperature of the water. A separate umbrella, which includes water misting dispensing nozzles, can be attached to the chair.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
In combination with a chair, a water misting apparatus for dispensing of a water mist onto a human being occupying said chair, said water misting apparatus comprising: a plurality of water misting dispensing nozzles mounted on said chair at selected spaced apart locations, each said nozzle being manually adjustable relative to said chair to change the direction of flow of water from each said nozzle; conduit means connecting said nozzles, said conduit means supplying water to said nozzles, said conduit means being mounted on said chair; a water supply tank located directly adjacent said chair but spaced therefrom, said conduit means being connected to said water supply tank, said water supply tank including pressure means for causing water contained within said tank to flow through said conduit means to said nozzles, a manually operated flow control valve mounted in conjunction with said conduit means, said manually operated flow control valve being located between said tank and said nozzles; a heat exchanger mounted in conjunction with said conduit means, said heat exchanger facilitating the transmission of heat between said conduit means and an exterior source; and said exterior source comprising ice.
