Recreational chair shade system

Abstract

The present invention comprises a method of attaching a pair of support arms to a chair for the purpose of positioning a towel or canopy. Each support arm provides a hooking means for fitment to common chairs, and a long arcuate towel-supporting member through which one end of a towel is threaded. The device may be readily transported from one place to another, may be easily attached to nearly any type of outdoor chair, is ideally composed of a pair of single pieces of plastic, and may be easily detached and packed away until used again at a later time.

1 . A method of providing shade to the user of a chair, the method comprising the steps of:
 a. providing to a user a chair comprising a seat portion and a back;   b. hooking a pair of canopy support members to said chair;   c. providing a towel comprising a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment;   d. placing said first segment on said seat portion to provide a towel seat for said user to sit on;   e. placing said second segment against said back to provide a towel back for said user to lean against; and   f. attaching said third segment to said canopy support members to provide a canopy for said user to sit under, wherein said third segment is directly above said first segment.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said attachment step comprises threading. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein each of said canopy support members further comprise at least two hooks. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 5  wherein said attachment step comprises threading. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       9 . A method of attaching a towel to a chair, the method comprising the steps of:
 a. hooking a pair of canopy support members to the back of a chair wherein said canopy support members extends above a seat portion of said chair;   b. setting a first towel segment on said seat portion of a chair;   C. setting a second towel segment against a back portion of a chair; and   d. threading a third towel segment through said canopy support members such that said third towel segment is directly above said first towel segment.   
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said attachment step comprises threading. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 9  wherein each of said canopy support members further comprises at least two hooks. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said attachment step comprises threading. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein each of said canopy support members comprises a single piece of plastic.
