Portable Seating Device

Abstract

A portable seating device for outdoor use. The present invention includes a seat removably attachable to a pair of poles, such as hiking poles, via connectors disposed on opposing ends of the seat. In one embodiment, the connectors are closed loop straps. In operation, the poles are placed into the ground at an angle relative to the ground and the connectors are secured to the top portions of the poles, thereby suspending the seat therebetween. When a user is seated on the seat, the user's weight prevents the poles from shifting, holding the seat in place.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A portable seating device, comprising:
 a seat comprising a first end and a second end;   a first channel disposed at the first end;   a second channel disposed at the second end;   a first closed loop disposed through the first channel;   a second closed loop disposed through the second channel.   
     
     
         2 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein the first closed loop and the second closed loop are removably securable to at least one pair of poles, thereby allowing the seat to be suspended therebetween. 
     
     
         3 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein the first channel and the second channel comprise a reinforced lining. 
     
     
         4 ) The portable seating device of  claim 3 , wherein the reinforced lining is fabricated from a material, the material comprising steel. 
     
     
         5 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein the seat is fabricated from a fabric material. 
     
     
         6 ) The portable seating device of  claim 5 , wherein the fabric material is water-resistant. 
     
     
         7 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein the seat is a monolithic, planar sheet of a material. 
     
     
         8 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first channel is formed via the first end being folded onto itself and then stitched thereto;   the second channel is formed via the second end being folded onto itself and then stitched thereto.   
     
     
         9 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein the closed loop comprises a cord. 
     
     
         10 ) The portable seating device of  claim 1 , wherein the seat is rectangular in shape.
