Threaded plugs in furniture being partially submerged
A submergible furniture is disclosed. Said submergible furniture comprises a threaded plugs, an outer shell and an internal cavity is configured to be partially submerged in a external body of liquid having a external liquid level. Said internal cavity is sealed by said outer shell and said threaded plugs. Said internal cavity comprises a gas portion and a liquid portion. Said liquid portion comprises an internal liquid level. Said submergible furniture is configured to be partially submerged in a external body of liquid. Said internal liquid level is higher than said external liquid level. Said internal cavity is selectively sealed with said threaded plugs. Said threaded plugs comprises a female plug portion and a male plug portion. Said female plug portion is welded into a portion of said outer shell. Said female plug portion is plastic welded into a portion of said outer shell.
Human driven water propulsion device
A human driven water propulsion apparatus includes a propeller and a human powered drive coupled to the propeller for driving the propeller. The propeller and human powered drive are connected to and supported by a chassis. Foot pedals are slidably engaged with the helical drive shafts. The helical drive shafts are connected to the propeller through one-way clutches and a gear train such that the propeller is driven by the helical drive shafts when driven by the pedals. In a watercraft application, the chassis is rotatably mounted for rotation between a first position where the propeller is faced in a forward direction and a second position where the propeller is faced in a rearward direction. In a swimmer application, a seat is attached to the chassis by a seat post and straps secure the seat to a user.
Water toy
A water toy comprising a foam tube having a first end, a second end and a body therebetween, an optional seat positioned on the body, a first feature attached to the first end, and a second feature attached to the second end, the first and second features being aesthetic and/or functional and/or a combination of the same.
SPECIAL NEEDS FLOTATION DEVICE
A planar body board for supporting a special needs child in an aquatic environment provided with a cut-out adapted to circumscribe the child's waist, a seat section attached to the underside of the board and a back rest section which cooperate to permit the free movement of the arms, shoulders and legs of the child when partially submerged in the aquatic environment.
Buoyant Pool Lounge Chair
A buoyant pool lounge chair is disclosed. In one embodiment of the buoyant pool lounge chair, frame members collectively form an open chair frame with buoyant cushions forming a chair seat and a backrest as well as a left arm rest and a right arm rest. The left arm rest and the right arm rest are each intersected by a cup holder. A recess in the cup holder has a forward tilt relative to a horizontal axis having an angle between approximately 20 degrees and approximately 40 degrees toward the front end of the buoyant pool lounge chair. In operation, when the buoyant pool lounge chair is supporting a person while the buoyant pool chair is floating in water, the forward tilt of the cup holder provides a compensating-leveling mechanism that mitigates spilling of liquid in the cup when the cup is placed within the cup holder.
Buoyant pool lounge chair frame and buoyant pool lounge chair using the same
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.

Collapsible floating assemblies
A floating assembly for suspending a person on water has a foldable frame member that has a folded and an unfolded orientation, the frame member defining a periphery for the assembly. A sheet material covers portions of the frame member when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation. A plurality of floatation sleeves are attached to the periphery. A plurality of floatation devices are removably inserted into each of the floatation sleeves.
Rollable mat
A mat and apparatus for rolling the mat adapted to be releasably affixed to a vehicle whereby the mat may be unrolled for use and easily rolled up for storage from within the vehicle and removed from the vehicle for additional uses. The mat and apparatus for rolling the mat is attachable to the back of the vehicle or a side thereof as desired.
Personal watercraft
A personal watercraft comprises a body including a seat support section in which a storage is accommodated; a front seat which is mountable on the seat support section; a rear seat which covers the storage in a state in which the rear seat is secured onto the seat support section; an opening/closing mechanism including a pivot section provided at a front end portion of the rear seat and opens and closes the rear seat and a slider section which guides the pivot section and slides the rear seat in a rearward direction. In a closed state in which the front seat and the rear seat are secured onto the seat support section, a rear end of the front seat is located rearward of and above a front end of the rear seat, and the pivot section is located below and forward of the rear end of the front seat.
