This is the season for deckchairs, (which I love) and
despite their simplicity, some people still struggle to
erect
and adjust them.
This problem is now solved with the introduction of the
motorised deckchair, which at the touch of a button,
unfolds itself like the hood of a sports car
to a fully
erect
position, ready for flopping into.
When reclining, its powerful levers, hydraulics and worm
geared miniature battery driven motors can adjust its
angle position via a convenient phone app. This means
you
need never worry about struggling out of it to raise or
drop
it down a notch for extra comfort.
Sun's up, so it's time to recline and chill out without a
care
in the world.
Deluxe version has fabric integrated cooling strips,
which are powered by the solar cells built into its
complimentary sun shade.

We'll take a pallet-load to begin with. Is there an app to control them ? <Evil sniggering and arm-flapping/> |

I'm reminded of something similar in the movie "WALL-E" but it was a hover version. |

I'll wait for the AI version that learns my preferences based on temperature, location, my blood pressure, and keywords. |

I'm always embarrassed sitting down at Summer's start, into a
deck chair. They are never "just right", as the little bear would
say. |
|
| |
But I hasten to add, wouldn't the workings of its //powerful
levers, hydraulics and worm geared miniature battery driven
motors// get rusty in crappy weather? |
|
| |
Deckchairs are fair weather friends, but of course
all mechanical parts can be protected from the
elements, in the same way as expensive digital
cameras can be weather sealed. |

I didn't think this idea included travel but if that's not the case, setting temperature and Lux values might see the chair in a meandering zigzag across the back lawn trying to find the perfect possie. |
