Abstract
An umbrella canopy mounted to a post structure is arranged to include a base support, wherein the base support directs pressurized air through the post support, that in turn includes a matrix of apertures directed therethrough that are selectively blocked by individuals to permit air flow onto such individuals positioned about an associated table structure relative to the post support.
Claims4
An air flow lounge umbrella apparatus, comprising,
- a support base housing, the support base housing including a support base housing top wall, the top wall including an umbrella tubular post member received therethrough coaxially aligned with the support base housing and extending upwardly thereof, and including a table platform fixedly mounted to the tubular post member in a surrounding coaxially aligned relationship spaced above the support base housing, and
- an umbrella canopy mounted to the tubular post member above the table platform, and
- the tubular post member including a first conduit portion extending from the table platform into the support base housing, and
- the tubular post member defining a second conduit portion extending from the table platform to a manifold block fixedly mounted to the tubular post member within the umbrella canopy, and
- a third conduit portion extending from the manifold block medially and coaxially of the umbrella canopy, and
- the second conduit portion including a matrix of apertures directed therethrough, and
- the first conduit portion and the second conduit portion in pneumatic communication with air means mounted within the support base housing for directing pressurized air through the first conduit portion and the second conduit portion and through the apertures, and
- the air means includes a compressor mounted within the support base housing, the support base housing including a base housing floor, with the compressor mounted to the base housing floor, and the base housing floor further including a hollow support cone mounted coaxially of the floor, wherein the cone is received within the lower distal end of the first conduit portion, and a compressor output hose in pneumatic communication between the compressor and the lower distal end of the first conduit portion, with the compressor output hose directed through the hollow support cone in pneumatic communication with the lower distal end of the first conduit portion, wherein the hollow support cone includes a hollow support cone opening arranged for reception within the lower distal end of the first conduit portion.
