The head and leg sections are pivotally secured to the intermediate section and are individually adjustable so as to be positioned anywhere between a completely horizontal orientation and a completely vertical orientation. A drawer is positioned beneath the intermediate section and transitions between a closed position and an open position. The drawer includes a locking mechanism and a flat surface onto which a plurality of solar cells are located. A charging station is connected to the solar cells and includes a receptacle for engaging a power cord of a portable electronic device to provide the electrical power thereto. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A chaise lounge, comprising: an elongated frame member; a plurality of legs coupled to and extending below the frame member; a seat comprising an intermediate section, a head section that is pivotally connected to a first end of the intermediate section, and a leg section that is pivotally connected to a second end of the intermediate section; a drawer that is slidingly engaged to a bottom portion of the frame member at a location beneath the intermediate section; a charging station having a plurality of solar panels and at least one receptacle, said charging station being removably positioned along an inside portion of the drawer; and a lock that is integrated into the drawer and is configured to secure the drawer in a closed position, said lock comprising an electromechanical locking mechanism having a connector for engaging a communication wire extending from the charging station that is removably positioned within the drawer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The chaise lounge of claim 1, further comprising: a charge controller that is electrically connected to each of the plurality of solar panels and the at least one receptacle, said charge controller including functionality for generating an electromagnetic field for conducting wireless induction charging of a portable electronic device that is positioned within the drawer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The chaise lounge of claim 1, wherein the at least one receptacle includes a universal serial bus connection port that is configured to discharge electrical direct current. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The chaise lounge of claim 1, wherein the at least one receptacle includes a plurality of receptacles; and further comprising: a charge controller that is electrically connected to each of the plurality of solar panels and each of the plurality of receptacles, said charge controller including functionality for automatically detecting a voltage requirement of a plurality of electronic devices that are connected to each of the plurality of receptacles and regulating a different voltage output for each of the plurality of receptacles to match the detected voltage requirement of the electronic device connected to the respective outlet. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The chaise lounge of claim 1, further comprising: a charge controller that is electrically connected to each of the plurality of solar panels and the at least one receptacle, said charge controller including functionality for automatically detecting a voltage requirement of an electronic device connected to the at least one receptacle and regulating a voltage output of the at least one receptacle to match the detected voltage requirement. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The chaise lounge of claim 5, further comprising: a direct current to alternating current power inverter that is in communication with the plurality of solar panels, wherein at least one of the plurality of receptacles includes an alternating current power outlet.
