Water Chair
A lounging chair with water filled cushions | |
The closest attempt came from the
inventor of the modern water bed,
who made a bean bag chair filled
with water. See link below. He
scraped the idea.
That isn't the idea that I am going
for
either. The idea I have, is a regular
lounge chair is filled with pressure
adjustable tube
shaped water
cushions. A plastic skin (to prevent
leaking onto the user incase of
puncture) and then fabric or leather
is placed over them. Incase of the
unthinkable, design channels water
down and away from user into bowl.
There are many ways of adjusting
the
pressure dependant on the style of
chair. Adjustable rollers running
along tubes to affect their shape.
Plate that screws into chair putting
pressure on bladder connected to
tubes. Electric air pump to internal
air blatter in water cushion.

"scraped"? And your reading of that link seems to be a little off. The chap didn't actually try a water chair - he did try various other fillers, but only put the water in the bed. Which is a good thing too, or we'd have to denounce this as Baked. |

| |
But why won't your invention suffer from the same defects Hall noted? |
|
| |
the inventor scrapied it as well - aint language wunnerful? |
|
| |
My interpretation: [sartep] meant the inventor only scraped the surface of the idea's potential. |
|
| |
No, no, no - he made crepes of it. |
|
| |
"internal air blatter" - is that the Scuba-Whoopie? |
|
| |
yes I saw that real life recliner but I
wanted something not hooked up
to a faucet, nor designed for
cooling. |
|
| |
Dr Curry, it won't suffer from the
same effects 'cause its not a bean
bag chair filled with water. |
|

this would be great. if you made see through water chairs...you could have fish swimming inside of it(not sword fish). it would surely entairtain cats! |
