Abstract
A pool furniture includes a support structure and a furniture weight system. The support structure defines a hollow interior. The support structure includes a rest surface and an underside. The furniture weight system is attached to the support structure. The furniture weight system includes a fillable anchor and a cap. The fillable anchor defines a hollow interior and an opening in communication with the hollow interior. The fillable anchor can receive a fill material to increase a mass of the pool furniture. The cap can selectively attach to the fillable anchor to cover the opening and inhibit fill material from escaping the hollow interior.
Claims20
A pool furniture, comprising:
- (a) a support structure defining a hollow interior, wherein the support structure comprises:
- (i) a rest surface,
- (ii) at least one support leg extending downward from the rest surface, and
- (ii) an underside defining a lower vent opening in fluid communication with the hollow interior;
- and
- (b) a furniture weight system attached to the support structure, wherein the furniture weight system comprises:
- (i) a fillable anchor defining a hollow interior and an opening in communication with the hollow interior, wherein the fillable anchor is configured to receive a fill material to increase a mass of the pool furniture, and
- (ii) a cap configured to selectively attach to the fillable anchor to cover the opening, wherein the cap is configured to inhibit the fill material from escaping the hollow interior while the cap is attached to the fillable anchor.
A pool furniture, comprising:
- (a) a support structure defining a hollow interior, wherein the support structure comprises:
- (i) a resting upper surface configured to support a user,
- (ii) at least one support leg extending downward from the resting upper surface, and
- (iii) an underside defining an anchor cavity;
- and
- (b) a furniture weight system attached to the support structure, wherein the furniture weight system comprises:
- (i) a fillable anchor configured to selectively attach to the support structure via the anchor cavity defined by the underside of the support structure, wherein the fillable anchor defines a hollow interior and an opening in communication with the hollow interior, wherein the fillable anchor is configured to receive a fill material to increase a mass of the pool furniture, and
- (ii) a cap configured to selectively attach to the fillable anchor to cover the opening and inhibit the fill material from escaping outside of the hollow interior.
A pool furniture, comprising:
- (a) a support structure defining a hollow interior, wherein the support structure comprises:
- (i) a rest surface defining an upper vent opening,
- (ii) at least one support leg extending downward from the rest surface, and
- (iii) an underside defining:
- (A) a lower vent opening in fluid communication with the hollow interior, and
- (B) an anchor cavity;
- and
- (b) a furniture weight system attached to the support structure, wherein the furniture weight system comprises:
- (i) a fillable anchor defining a hollow interior and an opening in communication with the hollow interior, wherein the fillable anchor is configured to receive a fill material to increase a mass of the pool furniture, wherein the fillable anchor is configured to selectively attach to the support structure via the anchor cavity, and
- (ii) a cap configured to selectively attach to the fillable anchor to cover the opening, wherein the cap is configured to inhibit the fill material from escaping the hollow interior while the cap is attached to the fillable anchor.
