A shelter such as a team shelter includes, for example, a frame structure having left and right frames, and a canopy. The canopy is positionable in a first position with a front portion of the canopy disposed at a first elevation between front portions of the left and right frames so that the front portion of the canopy, and front portions of the left and right frames to define a front facing opening allowing access by one or more people into the shelter and under the canopy. The canopy is positionable in a second position with the front portion of the canopy disposed at a second lower elevation relative to the left and right frames so that the canopy disposed in the second position results in the shelter being less susceptible to wind induced tip over compared to the shelter with the canopy disposed in the first position.

A self-covering outdoor furniture unit configured for human seating includes a seating surface and a backrest extending upwardly from the seating surface. Carried by the furniture unit is a substantially planar and rigid weather-protective panel. The panel is retained by guide members for linear displacement behind the backrest between a lowermost, storage position and an uppermost position, with the panel in a vertical orientation in which the panel is substantially perpendicular to the seating surface. When the panel is in the uppermost position, it can be pivoted forwardly into a deployed position in which it is disposed substantially horizontally over the seating surface, thereby shielding the seating surface from precipitation, blown debris, and sunlight.

This application relates to flotation devices generally, and particularly to inflatable flotation devices configured for use by an infant to support the infant at least partially above the water and to at least partially retain the infant therein. In some embodiments, an apparatus is a flotation member having an inner perimeter, a top portion and a bottom portion. The flotation member has a first height between its bottom portion and its top portion at a first location of the flotation member. The flotation member has a second height between the top portion and the bottom portion at a second location of the flotation member, the second height different from the first height. The flotation member includes a support member at least partially disposed within the inner perimeter of the flotation member. The support member has a first portion coupled to the top portion of the flotation member at the first location. The support member has a second portion coupled to the top portion of the flotation member at the second location. The support member has a third portion between the first portion and the second portion, and the third portion is coupled to the bottom portion of the flotation member at a third location different from the first location of the flotation member and the second location of the flotation member.

A frame structure defines a space capable of accommodating a user, and includes a plurality of outline frames that forms an assembly-type framework for the space, a sheet that is stretched over the framework so as to form a floor surface, a side surface, and a top surface of the space, a support frame that supports the floor surface at a position higher than a base surface where the frame structure is placed, a battery attachment portion that enables attachment of a battery to an under surface side of the floor surface, an outlet provided on any of the floor surface, the side surface, and the top surface, and a battery connecting portion that connects the battery attached to the battery attachment portion and the outlet.

Some embodiments are directed to a retrofitting apparatus for use with a chair, the chair including a seat portion, a back portion that extends substantially perpendicular to the seat portion, and at least one armrest that connects to the seat or the back portion via an elongated connector. The retrofitting apparatus includes a screen made up of at least a dorsal panel that is at least in part substantially parallel to the back portion of the chair, and a first and second side panel protruding from a first and second edge of the dorsal panel, respectively, to allow the dorsal panel, first side panel, and second side panel to extend around the sides and the back of the user seated in the chair. The apparatus also includes at least one removable coupling structure configured to couple the armrest or the elongated connector to the screen.

A reclining chaize lounge for resting. The reclining chaize lounge includes a base frame having a front leg and a rear leg, a seat panel and a back panel. The back panel is hingedly secured to the base frame via a seat reclining mechanism that is configured to adjust the angle of the back panel relative to the seat panel and bias the back panel toward a forward position. Two support members connect the back panel to a track having recessed notches disposed along the base frame. When a lever is engaged, the recessed notches disengage, allowing the support members, and thus the back member, to easily adjust position. If no pressure is applied to the back panel when the lever is engaged, a spring mechanism automatically pushes the back panel toward a forward position. A canopy affixed to the back panel is provided for sun protection.

An adjustable height, covered, foldable, configurable modifiable seat with a seat frame (comprising a bottom frame, a back frame, and an upper frame) and at least one frame opening defined by the contours of at least a portion of the seat frame. A bleacher hook is disposed on the seat frame. Lower hinges connect the bottom frame to the back frame and upper hinges connect the back frame to the upper frame. The lower and upper hinges can be locked to provide the frame with stability. A first support member is connected to the lower hinges and a second support member is connected to the upper hinges. A fabric is disposed over at least a portion of said seat frame and at least one frame opening. The modifiable seat is used by a user in a first, second, third, or fourth configuration.
