Chair with ice bucket armrests

Abstract

A chair including an armrest having an inner chamber arranged to hold a liquid, an outer surface, and a plurality of apertures extending from the outer surface to the inner chamber, wherein the plurality of apertures is arranged to drain the liquid out of the inner chamber such that the liquid coats at least a portion of the outer surface of the armrest as the liquid drains from the inner chamber.

1 . An armrest for a chair comprising:
 an inner chamber arranged to hold a liquid;   an outer surface; and,   a plurality of apertures extending from the outer surface to the inner chamber, wherein the plurality of apertures is arranged to drain the liquid out of the inner chamber such that the liquid coats at least a portion of the outer surface of the armrest as the liquid drains from the inner chamber.   
   
   
       2 . The armrest recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a lid for opening and closing the inner chamber. 
   
   
       3 . The armrest recited in  claim 1 , wherein the armrest is shaped so as to substantially resemble at least one ice cube. 
   
   
       4 . The armrest recited in  claim 1 , wherein the armrest is shaped so as to substantially resemble a cresting wave. 
   
   
       5 . The armrest recited in  claim 1 , furthering comprising a cup holder. 
   
   
       6 . The armrest recited in  claim 1 , wherein the inner chamber is operatively arranged to also hold ice, and the liquid is primarily water that forms as a result of the ice melting. 
   
   
       7 . A chair comprising:
 a seat portion; and,   an armrest including an inner chamber arranged to hold a liquid, an outer surface, and a plurality of apertures extending from the outer surface to the inner chamber, wherein the plurality of apertures is arranged to drain liquid out of the inner chamber, when the liquid is arranged therein, such that the liquid coats at least a portion of the outer surface of the armrest as the liquid drains.   
   
   
       8 . The chair recited in  claim 7 , wherein the chair is a lounge-style chair. 
   
   
       9 . The chair recited in  claim 7 , wherein the seat portion of the chair is made from a water, UV light, and mildew resistant material. 
   
   
       10 . The chair recited in  claim 7 , wherein the armrest is shaped to substantially resemble at least one ice cube. 
   
   
       11 . The chair recited in  claim 7 , wherein the armrest is shaped to substantially resemble a cresting wave. 
   
   
       12 . The chair recited in  claim 7 , wherein the seat portion is substantially shaped to resemble an ice pop in a cellophane tube. 
   
   
       13 . A chair comprising:
 a seat portion; and,   an armrest, which includes:
 an inner chamber arranged to hold a liquid; 
 a lid for closing the inner chamber; 
 a cup-holder proximate to the inner chamber; 
 an outer surface; and, 
 a plurality of apertures extending from the outer surface to the inner chamber, wherein the plurality of apertures is arranged to drain the liquid out of the inner chamber, such that the liquid coats at least a portion of the outer surface of the armrest as the liquid drains from the inner chamber.
