Abstract
An outdoor chaise lounge may include a frame, multiple legs coupled to and extending below the frame to support the frame, a seat member coupled to the frame to enable a user to sit or lay on the seat member, a lock-box fixedly supported by the frame that enables a user of the outdoor chaise lounge to store and lock items therein. The lock-box may include a lock-box door inclusive of a user interface that enables a user to lock and unlock the lock-box. A door member may be coupled to the seat member and have a closed position and an open position such that when said door member is in the open position, the user has access to the user interface on the lock-box door.
Claims19
An outdoor chaise lounge, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of legs coupled to and extending below said frame;
- a seat member coupled to said frame;
- a lock-box fixedly supported by said frame, said lock-box including:
- a lock-box door;
- a user interface, said user interface including electronics that are responsive to the user to lock and unlock said lock box;
- a master control unit in electrical communication with said user interface that, in response to the user entering a lock command, generates a lock signal, and in response to the user entering an unlock command, generates an unlock signal;
- an electromechanical lock, said electromechanical lock being in electrical communication with said master control unit;
- a photovoltaic device;
- and
- a rechargeable battery in electrical communication with said photovoltaic device, user interface, master control unit, and electromechanical lock to enable the user to cause said electromechanical lock to transition to a locked state and an unlocked state via the user interface, and at least one other electronic device in electrical communication with said rechargeable battery.
A method of manufacturing an outdoor chaise lounge, comprising:
- coupling legs to and extending the legs below a frame;
- coupling a seat member to the frame;
- fixedly supporting a lock-box by the frame, the lock-box including:
- a lock-box door configured to open and close;
- a user interface that enables a user to lock and unlock the lock-box door, the user interface including electronics that are responsive to the user;
- a master control unit in electrical communication with said user interface that, in response to the user entering a lock command, generates a lock signal, and in response to the user entering an unlock command, generates an unlock signal;
- an electromechanical lock, said electromechanical lock being in electrical communication with said master control unit;
- coupling a photovoltaic device;
- coupling a rechargeable battery to be in electrical communication with the photovoltaic device, user interface, master control unit, and electromechanical lock to enable the user to cause said electromechanical lock to transition to a locked state and an unlocked state via the user interface;
- and
- electrically connecting at least one other electronic device with the rechargeable battery.
An outdoor chaise lounge, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of legs coupled to and extending below said frame;
- a seat member coupled to said frame;
- a lock-box fixedly supported by said frame, said lock-box including:
- a lock-box door;
- a user interface, said user interface including electronics that are responsive to the user;
- a master control unit in electrical communication with said user interface that, in response to the user entering a lock command, generates a lock signal, and in response to the user entering an unlock command, generates an unlock signal;
- an electromechanical lock, said electromechanical lock being in electrical communication with said master control unit;
- a photovoltaic device;
- and
- a rechargeable battery in electrical communication with said photovoltaic device, user interface, master control unit, and electromechanical lock to enable the user to cause said electromechanical lock to transition to a locked state and an unlocked state via the user interface;
- said seat member including a first section and a second section, the second section being hinged to said frame.
An outdoor chaise lounge, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of legs coupled to and extending below said frame;
- a seat member coupled to said frame, said seat member being slidably movable to transition from a closed position to an open position;
- a lock-box fixedly supported by said frame, said lock-box including:
- a lock-box door;
- a user interface, said user interface including electronics that are responsive to the user;
- a master control unit in electrical communication with said user interface that, in response to the user entering a lock command, generates a lock signal, and in response to the user entering an unlock command, generates an unlock signal;
- an electromechanical lock, said electromechanical lock being in electrical communication with said master control unit;
- a photovoltaic device;
- and
- a rechargeable battery in electrical communication with said photovoltaic device, user interface, master control unit, and electromechanical lock to enable the user to cause said electromechanical lock to transition to a locked state and an unlocked state via the user interface.
