Abstract

Abstract A portable beach chaise lounge rotatable assembly is provided. The chair portion of the chaise lounge rotates about a circular track means enabling the upper portion to rotate above a stationary support portion. The upper portion rotates 360 degrees and swivels above a corresponding lower ballbearing laden circular track for smooth movement of the upper circular portion and the corresponding chaise lounge. For easy carrying, the lower support portion is attached to hinged collapsible leg portions which collapse inward towards each other in a parallel fashion in two pairs. The upper rotatable portion is supported by hinged support stanchions which collapse in a complimentary fashion such that the two pairs of support stanchions collapse in a direction parallel to each other.
