Lounge chair

Abstract

A lounge chair includes a frame having a pair of longitudinal sides and a pair of lateral sides extending between the pair of longitudinal sides and defining a space therebetween. The lounge chair further includes a seat portion supported on the frame and arranged inside the space. The seat portion provides a surface for a user to lie down. The seat portion defines a first opening arranged proximate to a first lateral side of the pair of lateral sides and extending through the seat portion. Also, one of the frame or the seat portion defines a second opening and a third opening arranged facing each other. The first opening receives a head and a neck of the user and the second and third openings receive arms of the user when the user is lying in a face-down position on the seat portion.

 a second opening arranged proximate to one of the pair of longitudinal sides, and 
 a third opening arranged proximate to other of the pair of longitudinal sides, 
 wherein the second opening and the third opening are disposed proximate to the first lateral side and are arranged facing each other, 
 wherein the first opening is arranged between the second opening and the third opening, and the second and third openings receive arms of the user when the user is lying in a face-down position on the footrest portion. 
   
     
     
         2 . The lounge chair of  claim 1  including
 a second portion defining a head rest portion and extending from the second lateral side towards the first lateral side, and

         3 . The lounge chair of  claim 2 , wherein the first portion is adapted to pivot relative to the third portion between a first position and a second position, wherein
 in the first position, the first portion is arranged aligned with the third portion, and   in the second position, the first portion extends obliquely and downwardly from the third portion.   
     
     
         4 . The lounge chair of  claim 3  further including a pair of first pivots facilitating the pivoting of the first portion relative to the third portion. 
     
     
         5 . The lounge chair of  claim 2 , wherein the second portion is adapted to pivot relative to the third portion between a raised position and a lowered position, wherein
 in the lowered position, the second portion is arranged aligned with the third portion, and   in the raised position, the second portion extends obliquely and upwardly from the third portion.   
     
     
         6 . The lounge chair of  claim 5  further including a pair of second pivots facilitating the pivoting of the second portion relative to the third portion. 
     
     
         7 . The lounge chair of  claim 1  further including a plurality of legs for supporting the frame on a ground. 
     
     
         8 . The lounge chair of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of legs is adapted to move to an extended position and a retracted position, wherein in the extended position, the legs support the frame on the ground. 
     
     
         9 . The lounge chair of  claim 1 , wherein the second opening and the third opening are disposed between the first opening and the second lateral side in a longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         10 . The lounge chair of  claim 1 , wherein the seat portion defines the second opening and the third opening. 
     
     
         11 . The lounge chair of  claim 1 , wherein a first longitudinal side of the pair of longitudinal sides includes a bend defining the second opening, and a second longitudinal side of the pair of longitudinal sides includes a bend defining the third opening.
