A customizable furniture frame made from recycled materials, available in various shapes and sizes, and designed to function both as modular furniture and a flotation device in emergency situations, such as floods or in a pool or lake situation. A plurality of Snap-on connectors is disposed on the exterior surface of the frame facilitating the selective attachment and detachment of furniture panels/pieces made from materials such as wood, foam, plastic, metal, or fabric. The panels have Snap-on sockets aligned with the connectors for removably attaching the panels/pieces to the frame to form customized furniture layouts. The frame is hollow and provides buoyancy for floating of the frame with one or more users sitting on the frame. The frame and panels form a customizable furniture system that can evolve with changing tastes and preferences.

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.

The Life Seat is an invention that is designed as a personal floatation device that has the ability to also function as a camp chair. This invention is based off the design of a Type III personal floatation device which can be worn like a vest. In order to convert this device into a camp chair, a seat, which is secured by straps that secure it in one of two possible positions can be folded down from the inside of the lower back section of the personal floatation device.

An adjustable seat for a flotation device includes a seat member made of flexible material attached to, surrounded by, and depending from the flotation device, said seat having two apertures therein for receipt of the legs of a child. An adjustment strap extends from front to back under said seat, and is attached at its ends to the flotation device, Connection means permit the adjustment of the length of the strap, thereby changing the size of the seat member to accommodate children of different sizes.

Recreational flotation devices are generally described. The flotation device may comprise inflatable portions of different size that aid a user in achieving a sitting position.

A buoyant pool lounge chair frame and buoyant pool lounge chair using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair for supporting a person while the buoyant pool chair is floating in water, frame members collectively form an open chair frame including a back frame and leg frame pivotally coupled thereto. Buoyant cushions are attached to the frame members to form a chair seat, a backrest, and a leg rest. A pair of rear pivotal coupling and clutch assemblies are coupled to the seat frame and to the back frame to adjust and fix the angle of recline of the back frame relative to the seat frame. Similarly, a pair of front pivotal coupling and clutch assemblies coupled to the leg frame and to the back frame to adjust and fix the angle of extension of the leg frame relative to the seat frame.

A water pad assembly adapted to floatingly support a human in open water, including: a water pad member and a plurality of grommets and/or cup holders.

According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a recreational floatation device comprising a body portion comprising an inflatable member having a first inner perimeter surrounding a first inner area, a first support portion comprising a layer of material extending through the first inner area and attached to the inflatable member at its first inner perimeter to support a user of the device, a back support member located within said first inner area, a hinge mechanism coupled to the back support member and the first inner perimeter and configured to allow the back support member to rotate between a first position, wherein a substantial portion of the back support member extends generally away from the first inner area, and a second position, in which the back support member lies substantially within the first inner area.
