Abstract
A removable attached bracket for securing weather protection system particularly applicable for beach chairs, deck chairs, garden chairs, chairs frames, the system can easily be attached and transported by the user and easily fits in a beach bag. In one embodiment a bracket apparatus includes a set of arms, and each of the arms includes a through slot and a set of flexible joining mechanisms utilizing hook & loop fasteners disposed to communicate with a seating member and to communicate with at least one weather protection member. Thus, the opposite facing nature of the fins also facilitates holding the brackets in place. In an additional embodiment because the curved fins are opposite of one another and the two components are identical in manufacture, thus when assembled, this fabrication produces a universal attachment method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL EMBODIMENTS
[0039] The detailed description set forth below is intended as a description of the presently preferred embodiments of the system and does not represent the only forms in which the present system may be construed or utilized. The description sets forth the functions and the sequence of the steps for producing the system and accompanying apparatus. However, it is to be understood that the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different embodiments and are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of the system.
[0040] FIG. 1 illustrates a top perspective view the overall system 10 used to latch onto the back of the beach chair wherein the horizontal and vertical arms of the bracket 20 are attached to one another with a standard steel rivet is used to form the body of the bracket 20 wherein there are holes in bracket 21 and a curved portion of the bracket 22 to allow for a hook and loop fastener too be strung through the holes of the bracket 21 in order to be secured. The tension or torsion created from the opposite facing nature of the fins 22 also hold the bracket to each device adding to the securing nature of the device along with the hook and loop strapping 30. Further disclosed are a first arm 27, a second arm 28, and the rivet 23, which may be a standard steel rivet, or any state-of-the-art fastening system, utilized to securely join the first and second arm.
[0041] FIG. 2 illustrates a right side view of the overall system 10 used to latch onto the beach chair frame and hold the beach umbrella firmly in the sand and further displays the bracket 20 from a side view perspective wherein one can see the holes or slots in the bracket 21 to allow for the hook and loop fastener 30, such as a Velcro fixture to be strung around the curved portion of the bracket fins 22.
[0042] FIG. 3 illustrates a top plan view of the overall system 10 used to latch onto the beach chair frame and hold the beach umbrella firmly in the sand from the back side illustrating the bracket 20 device and further displays the slots or apertures 21 located on the ends of the bracket wherein the curved portion of the bracket fins 22 displays how it wraps around the metal frame of the beach chair or beach umbrella and displays the hook and loop fastener 30 that secures the beach chair frame or umbrella pole to the bracket and into the sand.
[0043] FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view the overall system 10 used to latch onto the beach chair frame and hold the beach umbrella firmly in the sand and the holes, slot or apertures 21 located in the bracket 20 wherein the curved portion of the device is displayed without the hook and loop fastener 30.
[0044] FIG. 5 illustrates a left view the bracket 10 used to latch onto the beach chair frame and the umbrella from an upright position as if the bracket 20 is being held onto the objects and the apertures, holes or slots 21 through the device where the curved portion of the device 22 allows the poles of either the beach chair or the umbrella will fit securely within the device as to hold the poles in place without the hook and loop fastener 30 displayed in this drawing.
[0045] FIG. 6 illustrates a top plan view of the overall system 10 wherein the body of the bracket 20 displays the holes on the brackets 21 that go through the ends of each side of the bracket and the curved portion of the bracket 22 is on one side of the bracket to allow a hook and loop fastener 30 to secure the beach chair frame to the umbrella that is not shown in this drawing.
[0046] FIG. 7 illustrates a side view of the first arm 27 of the bracket 10 from the end of the device 20 wherein the curved portions of the device 22 are displayed as too allow for a closer view as to how this portion wraps around the beach chair frame or umbrella pole and its dimensions. The dimensions from either curved side are 32 centimeters, the total width of bracket 20 is 20 centimeters, and the width of the curved portion is 2 centimeters.
[0047] FIG. 8 illustrates a top plan view of the first arm 27 of the bracket 10 wherein the top of device 20 is displayed to detail its dimensions which consists of 150 centimeters in length.
[0048] FIG. 9 illustrates a front view of the first arm 27 of the bracket 10 and further illustrating for the slots 21 of the device which are disposed to contain the flexible hook and loop fasteners 30. Additionally, a cavity, or channel 24 is illustrated for interlinking of the first arm 27 and second arm 28 and bevel 29 for rivet 23. Both the first arm 27 and second arm 28 possess a channel for symmetric mating.
[0049] In one embodiment, the height from the tip of the curved portion of the bracket to the base of the bracket is 18 centimeters in length, the length of the slots 21 for the hook and loop attachment straps 30 may be 30 centimeters in length, the distance between the slots 21, which are located on either side of the bracket 20, is 80 centimeters in length. Because of the curved fins 22 are disposed in an oppositely facing direction relative to one another, and as the two arms and the constituent components are identical, when the two arms are assembled by the common rivet 23, the ensuing assembly and design produces a universal or neutral attachment system and method. This opposed commonality assists in location and creation of tension and friction, which then works on conjunction with the hook and loop-based strap 30 to allow for sturdy suspension upon the poles of the chair to be utilized.
[0050] FIG. 10 illustrates the bracket 10 wherein it is pictured with a beach chair pole and beach umbrella pole attached to the device 20 to display the holes 21 in the device with the curved portion of the device 22 showing the hook and loop fastener around the frame of the beach chair 96 and beach umbrella pole 95.
[0051] FIG. 11 illustrates the bracket 10 used to secure the beach chair 96 and the beach umbrella 97 together using the device 20 as to display the slots 21 in which the device is secured using the curved portion of the device 22 with a hook and loop fastener 30.
