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 flotation device is described that provides a means for relaxation and enjoyment when used in a pool, lake, or other body of water. The flotation device is inflatable and includes a body configured in the form of a vehicle having a front side, a back side, a right side, and a left side. The flotation device further includes a seating area within an interior of the body of the flotation device, two side view mirrors, and a windshield frame. The body of the flotation device is configured to resemble a convertible version of a muscle car including doors, tires, and accompanying logos and details associated with a muscle car. The convertible version of the muscle car further includes a convertible roof that is folded and in an open position as displayed on the flotation device.

A housing for use in a floatation device comprises first and second rectangular portions each having four sides. Three sides of the first rectangular portion are coupled to three sides of the second rectangular portion, and a fastener such as a zipper is coupled to the fourth sides of the first and second rectangular portions. The housing may be made of materials having high strength and resiliency such that they are not easily torn, popped, punctured, rent, or otherwise damaged by claws over the course of repeated use, such as by a dog. The fastener may be opened or closed to allow or block access to an internal cavity within the housing. The internal cavity is configured to accommodate a plurality of pool noodles that provide the housing and the floatation device with buoyancy and with a continuous buoyant floor on which a person, dog, or other animal can be supported within a body of water. The housing may include a plurality of dividers that divide the internal cavity into a plurality of internal sub-cavities.

A motorized inflatable raft includes independently controllable propellers to propel the raft. The propellers are part of a propeller control assembly that includes a power source and a joystick for control. Direction of motion is controlled by rotating independent propeller control assemblies using a joystick controller. Power is supplied by batteries in a battery housing, and application of power to the propellers is controlled by the joystick. Assembly is simplified using an easily screwed screw cap that securely fastens a battery housing that is connected through tubing to the propeller to the joystick controller.

A saddle for an aquatic board is disclosed. The saddle is equipped with a strap or straps and/or edge wise clamps, or other suitably firm fastener, to engage and maintain position on the aquatic board positioned beneath the saddle. A user can then stand on the board and squeeze the saddle between their knees and ankles and maintain an enhanced balance on the board or, if fatigued, can sit or kneel alongside or on the saddle and paddle/ride from a seated or kneeling position. The saddle may be inflatable or solid and may include an inner void for storage for personal effects or equipment. The saddle may further include a speaker, cup holder, handles, or other optional features.

A floating lounge having a substantially planar body portion has a middle area and an end area on each side of the middle area. A plurality of apertures located in the middle area extend through the body portion substantially perpendicular to the plane of the body portion. Additional apertures smaller than those in the middle area of the body portion may be arrayed in the outer areas of the lounge. When a user reclines on the lounge, the weight of the user, being greatest in the area of the hips, in combination with the apertures cause the middle area to sink into the water while the outer areas of the lounge are more buoyant.

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 lounge chair is floating in water, frame members collectively form at least one of a seat frame, a leg frame, a back frame, a left arm frame, and a right arm frame. The frame members include multiple frame segments which are steel coated with a first vinyl polymer coating to provide steel-to-vinyl contact. Buoyant cushions are attached to the frame members. The buoyant cushions are coated with a second vinyl polymer coating. An adhesive coating is interposed between the first vinyl polymer coating and the buoyant cushions.

A collapsible flotation device is provided and includes an inflatable member forming a closed loop and defining at least in part a first opening within the closed loop. The inflatable member has a first portion positioned to be a back support and a second portion configured to be disposed beneath a leg of the user, a floor of the first opening being disposed between the first and second portions. The inflatable member defines a second opening providing access of a foot of the user to water. The second opening has a smaller axial length than the first opening such that a third, forwardmost portion of the closed loop is positioned to be a foot support member.
