Abstract
An adjustable chaise lounge is provided having a generally horizontal main frame, a seat portion, and an adjustable back rest with a free end and a proximal end that is coupled to the chaise lounge. The adjustable chaise lounge uses solar panels and a solar charge converter to power a linear actuator that is moveable between a first position and a second position. The actuator is coupled to at least one support post at a first end and a base of the back rest at a second end such that when the linear actuator moves between the first position and the second position it raises and lowers the adjustable back rest.

An adjustable chaise lounge comprising:
- a generally horizontal main frame having a top, a base, and two sides;
- a seat portion;
- an adjustable back rest member having a free distal end and a proximal end that is coupled to the chaise lounge, the back rest member having a resting surface and a base, the free end of the adjustable back rest being proximate the top of the main frame when in a fully lowered position;
- at least one arm rest;
- at least one ground engaging member coupled to the frame;
- solar panels and a solar charge converter;
- a powered linear actuator coupled to the main frame, wherein the actuator is powered by the solar power converter and moveable between a first position proximate the top of the main frame and a second position proximate the seat portion, the linear actuator being moveable in a y-plane;
- at least one support post having coupled to the actuator at a first end and coupled to the base of the adjustable back rest at a second end, wherein when the linear actuator moves between the first position and the second position, the adjustable back rest is raised and lowered by the powered actuator;
