Lounge chair with misting feature

Abstract

A sunbather misting apparatus is described having a lounge chair having inverted U-shaped arms. The apparatus also comprises misting nozzles each attached to the lounger. Misting nozzles will be attached to the mid section of the lounger, right and left side, while the others will be attached at the foot of the lounger, right and left side, which together provide complete mist coverage over the lounge chair. On/off valves are provided on the right side of the lounger with pressurized water source to allow for controlled, intermittent flow of water misting substantially over the chair.

1 . A misting apparatus for providing a misting spray, comprising:
 a chair made from water resistant materials, and comprised of a front, a back, a seat, and two inverted U-shaped arms and legs;   small, simple, and compactly dimensioned misting system connected to said chair so as to be substantially hidden from view, said misting system comprising at least four nozzles each providing mist and each of said misting nozzles being connected through said horizontal arms and legs on opposite sides of the chair; and   means to control the spray in at least some of the misting nozzles in relation to the other misting nozzles.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said chair is selected from a group consisting of non-collapsible lounge chairs and folding lounge chairs. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said control means comprises, a quarter turn valve connected to the side of said lounger with pressurized water supply, and said valves being contained in a indoor/outdoor box attached to the side of said lounger and within easy reach to a sunbather, said valve also having a control means adapted for easy hand manipulation by the seated sunbather between an open position allowing water flow to said misting nozzles from an off position to a quarter turn full throttle pressure. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , comprising plumbing essentials using a screened inlet hose connector and ¾″ and ½″ PEX pipe with male outlet for multiple lounge connection using keyed shut-off valves and ⅜″ poly pipe going to 4 misting nozzles. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said connections of multiple loungers would have the availability to run intermittently all day long with approximately ½ gallon of water used on each lounger. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said chair has a stackable design and each of said misting nozzles is positioned for stacking purposes and secured closely to said chair so as to allow compact storage of said apparatus with minimal risk of damage to said spray nozzles and said insulated control box with valves and said keyed valves during storage, preparation for storage, and preparation after storage for subsequent use. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said chair is manufactured as a two piece unit through molded construction with the back of the said chair to attach and manufactured through same molded construction. 
     
     
         8 . A misting apparatus for providing a misting spray, comprising:
 a chair made from water resistant materials, said chair having a chair bottom, and a chair back; and   a water misting assembly comprising:
 a water inlet having a coupling; 
 water supply lines from the inlet to marginal positions on the chair; 
 misting spray heads positioned at marginal positions of the chair and fluidly connected to the water supply lines; and 
 a plurality of valves, intermediate the water inlet and the misting spray heads to control spray zones of the chair. 
   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said spray zones are right and left. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said spray zones are front and back. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said chair further comprises two inverted U-shaped arms and legs flanking the chair bottom and chair back. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said misting spray heads are integrally positioned in the two inverted U-shaped arms and legs. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein said valves are integrally positioned in the two inverted U-shaped arms and legs. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising a water outlet in fluid connection to said water inlet, for providing a jumper connection to an adjacent chair. 
     
     
         15 . A misting apparatus for providing a misting spray, comprising:
 a chair made from water resistant materials, said chair having a chair bottom, a chair back, and a rear base portion, where the chair back is movable between an upright position and a position against the rear base portion; and   a water misting assembly assembled to the chair and comprising:
 a water inlet extending through the rear base portion, on a first side of the chair; 
 a water outlet in fluid connection to said water inlet, for providing a jumper connection to an adjacent chair, and extending through the rear base portion, on a second and opposite side of the chair; 
 water supply lines from the inlet to marginal positions on the chair; and 
 misting spray heads positioned at marginal positions of the chair and fluidly connected to the water supply lines. 
   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , further comprising a plurality of valves, intermediate the water inlet and the misting spray heads to control spray zones of the chair. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein said spray zones are right and left. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein said chair further comprises two inverted U-shaped arms and legs flanking the chair bottom and chair back. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein said misting spray heads are integrally positioned in the two inverted U-shaped arms and legs. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said valves are integrally positioned in the two inverted U-shaped arms and legs.
