Abstract
A solar lounger is disclosed which rotates in response to energization from the sun's rays. The solar lounger has a chaise type chair which is rotatably supported on a base. Photovoltaic solar cells are mounted on said chair and generate electrical energy in response to the sun's rays. Said electrical energy is used to power a drive motor which causes said chair to rotate relative to said base.
Claims7
A solar lounger comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) means for supporting a person in a reclined disposition on said base;
- (c) collecting means disposed in a substantially unobstructed upwardly facing location on said lounger receiving and collecting solar energy and continuously converting same to electrical energy;
- and
- (d) electrical motor means mounted in said lounger and powered by said electrical energy continuously rotating said support means relative to said base during periods when solar energy reaches said collecting means in said lounger so that a person supported on the support means receives even exposure to the sun's rays.
